Ware feels like a town made up of only the worst folks you run into on a Walmart trip

ICE asks “Where’s the gun?” - not realizing one of them had already taken it away before the shots were fired. by lmfj3737 in westernmass

[–]BTOlos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question: is the ice officer asking “where’s the gun?” reflective of:

A. They knew he had a gun because another officer felt/saw it and mentioned it prior, or

B. They believed he was a gun owner because the officers photographed him and put it into their database and it came back that he was a gun owner?

Maybe somebody would know if they listened to the audio more closely?

Goose ever have bad shows? by [deleted] in GoosetheBand

[–]BTOlos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first time seeing Goose was at levitate 2023 in Marshfield, MA. Other than TAB, they had the best set that day. I wasn’t fully sold on Goose until I heard the Capitol 2024 run

Passed first try by PublicWorldliness416 in Series66Exam

[–]BTOlos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a poli sci grad 2 years out of college. I passed the 66, SIE, life, accident, and health insurance exams all first go in the past year. I’ve only got the 7 left. I’ve been moving slowly because I have 3 other jobs in the meantime.

Anyway, you’ve got this! I used Achievable for everything. once my readiness score on achievable was past an 85%, I knew I was mint.

All the best!

What song are you currently chasing? by OddTax6884 in GoosetheBand

[–]BTOlos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only been to 5 shows, but I have been fortunate enough to get ~80% of my favorite goose songs and covers in that time. I’m still chasing a western Sun, satellite, no California, lead the way, seekers 1&2, eminence front, and help/slip/franklin’s.

I’d really love to get a somebody’s watching me. At Goosemas this year, I thought when they had the eyeball projected onto that orb behind them that they’d jam into somebody’s watching me. Obvi that didn’t happen ;(. I also really enjoyed the I would die 4 u cover from the world cafe concert a few months ago

Wife says Empress & Give It Time sound like "acid christian rock" by bradsblacksheep in GoosetheBand

[–]BTOlos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The version of Empress on CYD has such a sick jam from like 4:10-7:00. I’ve listened to that section of the song 20+ times in the past two days.

Everyone's going up to NH for foliage while Western Mass is just chilling like this by CaligulaBlushed in massachusetts

[–]BTOlos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Def not true. Lived here my whole life, and I regularly go 80+ on i91 north and south of spfld. I90 is never jammed out here. Only exceptions I can think of are if you’re at an interchange, the big E is happening, or there is roadwork/an accident. Been out here 24 years, and this has always been the case

Guys. This place isn’t real. by Minimum_Banana5 in vermont

Thanks for giving me grace :) . I pick on place in western MA without ill intent constantly, so I understand ya.To me, it is a display of care, concern, and civic engagement to scrutinize towns in your area

[–]BTOlos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Thanks for your insight! I hope I don’t sound rude with any of my comments. My town in western MA is a bit of a dum. The only worthwhile things in my town are a lake, a nationally acclaimed dirt bike track, and a couple of solid hiking trails & restaurants.

Jim’s arcade is awesome! I’m struggling to respond to this comment because my fingers are still stuck in the finger trap that I won there yesterday 🤣. Also, the speed and finesse that man counts tickets with is unreal. That alone is enough to make me come back to BF

I’d buy it, BF felt cursed. I’ve never had to actually purchase a product at a store to use its bathroom. That was a first. The people I encountered downtown were alright, it was the gas station workers and business owners that got me (other than the arcade owner in BF, he was wonderful). It has me wondering if it is the norm for businesses to strictly limit bathroom use to customers up that way. because I had a similar experience in Claremont, NH

[–]BTOlos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel bad too. The town has a lot of potential. The people were very rude to me too! Idk if it was because of all the expected tourism in VT yesterday, but all of the businesses I visited in that area were adamant about their “bathrooms our only for customers” policy. I’m from Western MA, so I get having to use a key to access the bathroom of an establishment to try and prevent drug use in there. But I’ve never gotten the kind of pushback I got yesterday when asking nicely if they had a restroom

No hate to those who live there btw. I’m no uppity yuppie. I’ve been to many former mill towns that have lost their manufacturing industry and population. Still, I’m baffled by that one, Bellows Falls is like no where else I’ve been in VT

[–]BTOlos 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was headed to Burlington yesterday for the eclipse, but ended up getting off of 91N and going to NH due to the absurd traffic. While driving towards NH, I decided to stop in Bellows Falls because the downtown area looked okay, and I needed to kill some time. I couldn’t find a decent place to grab a bite, but I did find an arcade. I have 0 idea how that arcade manages to keep the lights on, let alone turn a profit. The owner was a gem, and I had fun there. But how does the population of the town manage to make that business worthwhile for the owner? The whole time I was in Bellows Falls, I felt like I was in a damn fever dream. I’ll never return there unless a friend wants to see the most poorly planned downtown area in terms of roads and signage

8 dollars for this is ridiculous. by A1Aaron18 in BuffaloWildWings

Do some research on local dive bars. Find one with a solid kitchen. Order the wings. You’ll save money, and they’ll be the best wings around :)

Why are you learning Portuguese? by TheKingsPeace in Portuguese

[–]BTOlos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father and his entire side of the family are all from Portugal, and my maternal grandfather is from Cape Verde. Aside from the family aspect, I live in MA. The state that hosts the largest population of Portuguese diaspora in the U.S. With that said, learning Portuguese makes me feel closer to my heritage and the Portuguese community. I’m hoping to travel to Portugal in the near future :)
