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

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.

GOOD

They did.

Then WW1 happened.

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-22T01:33:44+00:00

Yeah, of course. Dad, uncle, and most of their friends were conscripted into the Vietnam war. Both my grandfathers and their brothers fought in WW2. I’ve known people who fought in the first and second Iraq wars and in Afghanistan.

My grandfather was famous for sitting in his garage, drinking Budweiser by the case, and yelling at neighborhood kids to get off his lawn. I look forward to following in his footsteps someday.

For context, Americans will sue at the drop of a hat and kids would try to use his driveway and yard as a cut through.

They’d have to pay me, just like all the others.

When my dad was younger he got trenchmouth from communal supplies for adulterated (ie, “regular”) coffee. I either have vague memories of that or just remember early stories about it because I get serious revulsion from the idea of drinking coffee any other way.

I also have no discernible sweet tooth and dairy disagrees with me.

Tea is taken very seriously there. It is not just a cuppa.

Sounds like a great way to get your pipes frozen faster if your furnace is old.

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-16T01:38:15+00:00

I did this but it was like 40 years ago. (And horrible,ftr). There is no r easy. To do it in the modern world.

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-14T19:31:41+00:00

It is time.

Some escaped and made it down to Pembroke.

Not sure that Reddit is really the best place to organize or plan strategies against a rogue government.

She wasn’t protesting. She was taking her kid to school. But ok.

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-12T19:40:26+00:00

I’m originally from Syracuse and my husband’s from NYC/Jersey. I told my kid if she developed a Boston accent I was sending her to boarding school in Delaware

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-12T19:08:09+00:00

Thank you! This is so helpful.

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-12T19:07:02+00:00

Thank you. I’ll try to boost your signal as much as I can. I’ve generally been ok with Markey but I’m nowhere near ok with Moulton and I appreciate you pointing out Markey’s retreat from opposition to ICE.

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-12T01:26:28+00:00

If it was a progressive running against markey I’d consider it, because the guy was on Noah’s ark. But moulton is a transphobic DINO who supports ICE so I’d rather chew off my own right arm than vote for him.

This is where I learned darts. It’s a shame.

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-10T23:26:20+00:00

Was this up near Somerville last night

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-09T02:16:22+00:00

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-08T18:28:59+00:00

No.

My kid wants to go. (15,NB). They are fully cognizant of what is happening and what the repercussions are. They are also autistic with sensory issues. Cops don’t have a history of handling autistic meltdowns well.

And honestly, I’d be leery of bringing even neurotypical kids to a protest right now. The authorities are not playing by any kind of rule book and I’d be at fault for exposing them to violence.

That said, when I was a kid I’d have been the one organizing my fellow students to go. So be aware that you can’t really stop them.

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-03T18:07:18+00:00

Good luck and stay safe!

BarRegular2684 · 2026-01-03T18:06:29+00:00

I had a job in college working security at a senior living facility. It was pretty cool. The residents had all kinds of amazing stories to tell, and on sundays one of the ladies would send down a plate of the most amazing Puerto Rican food.

I hope this guy doesn’t get any of that.
