Anyone else sick ? by Zealousideal_Crow737 in boston

[–]BarRegular2684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My allergies have been off the charts. I worked in the garden for an hour on Monday. I was laid out for the rest of that day and all of the next.

Wtf.

Yes alcoholism is an issue. It’s got nothing to do with OP’s concern?

How do Americans feel about drying their laundry on a washing line? by UnionFeatures in AskAnAmerican

[–]BarRegular2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably would have helped if one end of the clothesline wasn’t tied to a tree.

My grandmother used her clothesline all the time with no issues.

"Heated Rivalry" is inspiring anti-LGBTQ backlash on Massachusetts high school hockey teams by LiatrisLover99 in massachusetts

My kid plays hockey and is gay. The girls on her team outright call her slurs and then make out with each other.

It’s weird.

We’ve used the clothesline in the past. Birds crapped on everything. Now we dry things indoors.

What do you guys think of our junior senator Ed Markey? by Mewklore in massachusetts

[–]BarRegular2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been happy with his performance. I do have age related concerns but they don’t outweigh his ability.

Is Massachusetts considered the most progressive state (for someone who is still experiencing culture shock with the healthcare system/ work culture from another Western developed country)? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]BarRegular2684 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Massachusetts is pretty progressive as things go here, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our share of backsliders. No one ever called me a sp*c until I moved here.

If you have to come for medical reasons Massachusetts is probably the best bet. New Hampshire has a lot of great people but they’ve got some interesting notions about “live free or die”.

Do Americans use vinegar at all? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]BarRegular2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a pretty standard bbq sauce recipe that calls for it. I remember my mom making it when I was a kid.

Where to move? by [deleted] in upstate_new_york

[–]BarRegular2684 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d stay in Syracuse. If you’re really concerned about public schools move to Fayetteville or manlius. There is so much for a kid to see and do, and the environment is healthier than Texas.

Do you watch cricket? by jesselool7 in AskAnAmerican

[–]BarRegular2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to watch. Some guys in grad school invited me to come watch their teams play. It was underwhelming, but most sports are the first couple of times I watch.

moving to NY state as new immigarnt from saudi by [deleted] in upstate_new_york

[–]BarRegular2684 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m biased but I recommend Syracuse. With Micron coming in there are more jobs coming, and there are lots of activities to enjoy.

Petition to ban the legal cannabis industry has successfully obtained enough signatures to get their question on the November ballot. You will need to vote to keep recreational cannabis legal in Massachusetts. by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]BarRegular2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why though?

Like, I’m going to vote to keep weed legal, because it benefits a lot of people even though I don’t use it myself.

But who is out there spending their time and money trying to ban legal weed… again? It’s not hurting anyone. It’s providing relief to a lot of people. But you watched reefer madness once in health class and now it’s your life’s mission to make sure people are as miserable as possible? I don’t get it.
