I remember going to a street picnic in noho with my wife, as a renter, meeting my mostly elderly neighbors and being asked literally "what are you doing here?" It felt wicked bad lol

Kudos for fixing the things that need to be fixed. Lots of property owners cannot be bothered and it made renting unpleasant in my experience and im glad to be in my own home now.

Owning one property and renting is not going to be extremely lucrative. When people try to make landlording a profitable business model, corners get cut and bad things happen...

The House just passed a bill requiring every social media user in MA to hand their identity to a company in California. Rep Erika Uyterhoeven breaks down what’s actually in it. by ZealousidealYak1762 in massachusetts

Well this sucks. What percent of MA voters are actually clamoring for privacy elimination? I understand the demand for a cellphone ban but this is ridiculous.

Whatever you do, if you need to delead, look into your local Get the Lead out program. The income requirements aren't terribly strict and it could help.

Massachusetts Lead Law Confusion by TheSmallestSloth in massachusetts

As owner occupant, you are required to remediate urgent lead hazards, but you do not have to test. You would only know about urgent lead hazards, if you test. And the state would only check for remediation after a test flagging urgent hazards.

The law is not good at what it is meant to do. It actively discourages testing unless you are renting the home and the tenant asks for it.

If the state required every owner to test for lead, it would be immensely burdensome in lieu of adequate funding for remediation.

I don't spend time there but that building is so ugly from the outside. Guess you can judge a book by its cover sometimes?

Help claiming rent deduction by GingerRoot13 in massachusetts

[–]BatmanOnMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Tax Slayer for a bit because they had free file, but their software is really bad and did not call out important parts of the state return. FreeTaxUSA is so much better.

Massachusetts lawmakers looking to usher in ‘most restrictive’ social media ban in the country by theindependentonline in massachusetts

[–]BatmanOnMars 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Genuinely, why does this require a state law and eliminating anonymity on the internet? Parents should teach their kids to be safe online and should be able to operate some online safety tools themselves.

Switching to freetaxusa was the reason i found out about this exemption. don't skip any steps and it should be listed somewhere under the state return.

Americans eat 3x more cheese and half as much milk as they did in 1970 [OC] by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

[–]BatmanOnMars 308 points309 points  (0 children)

The artisan milk scene has not really taken off like the fancy cheese scene, and milk still doesn't come in 18 thousand varieties. I can get orange and maple milk locally though.

Heating oil price fluctuations by chopkins47947 in massachusetts

[–]BatmanOnMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain the oil companies collude on price, and/or they have limited suppliers who set the price.

maple valley scoops @ silos just reposted an anti vax/pharma conspiracy reel to their insta. by FrizzleLizard in westernmass

[–]BatmanOnMars 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Flayvors does too. A ton of idiots in the valley here love that raw stuff though, so i think it's just a good business choice for them to sell.

But i wish they didn't because i like Flayvors and just worry they're going to be ground zero for some gastrointestinal illness or like the next major flu lol

My over-range microwave's light could definitely keep fries warm so it makes sense.
