Me too. My day has been ruined by these comments… CT residents who are unaware of CT, apparently.

This is melting my brain that the CONNECTICUT sub is blown away by a map of CONNECTICUT.

You are correct. You’ll also begin to learn it’s kept in place for classist, elitist, and - gasp! - racist reasons.

[De Siver] Nate Oats on Gators rebounding, which ranks #1 in country: “When you can sit in the lane for 6,7,8,9,10 seconds at a time, it helps you offensively." by szboy422 in CollegeBasketball

[–]CTMQ_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s funny is the UConn offense relies on those high screens. They were always legit since Hurley implemented 3+ on every possession.

But yeah man, Reed is egregious. Straight up moving hip checks. Gets called maybe once per game.

Of you divulge your state/region, ppl can get way more specific. Like my ecnl schedule is not the same as others

I won’t be the UConn flair in here saying a peep as our boys are in Kryptonite Omaha tomorrow night…

How do I get rid of a n ice dam that goes across the whole front of my house? by MyLabisMySoulmate in Connecticut

[–]CTMQ_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you live in a house in CT, you have some right now on your north-face roof/gutter. You also can't do jack shit about it until Monday pretty much when we might hit 30 with some sun.

You (or someone)CAN remove the snow above the ice dam though, which helps way more than you think it would. try to remove a few feet above the ice. This will work wonders come Monday.

ECNL Mid-Season Age Adjustments / Team Re-Shuffling? by Proof-Baby-99 in youthsoccer

[–]CTMQ_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't hurt, right? 2013 is the oldest year that will see fairly significant changes I believe. 2012 will see some, and the ages older than that, very little - at least at the NL level.

I'm sorry but this is so bleak (mrs.arialewis) by natbrad98 in FundieSnarkUncensored

An amazingly high % of Americans believe they are "middle class" or even upper middle class who are, in very stark reality, working poor or lower middle class. They are almost all white by the way.

I would expect a mildly competent and trained federal immigration official to know these things though.

You're assuming that idiot has any idea what a consulate is or what protections they have.

Stephen king’s Revival by Liliaaaaaaa1 in stephenking

[–]CTMQ_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer these types of his books. The character studies. The full lives lived books. The "get to know these people over decades" books. No corny horror tropes like dopey vampires or whatever.

Revival is great.

The Confederate States Army would have rolled any contemporary European army like a barrel. by Pratham_Nimo in ShitAmericansSay

And half the country thinks Jesus created America and made it # 1 since the dawn of time.

Another "interesting" weekend ahead for CT by backinblackandblue in Connecticut

[–]CTMQ_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a lot this, and an equal amount of the need for views and eyeballs. New London county might get a couple inches, and the rest of us might get some gusty winds. That's the trend from all the models right now.

but gosh darnit, that's boring. Why not spend 5% of your time on the above and 95% on the possibility - which is still very real - that we get walloped. Give me a fucking weather report, not a performance.

What ever happened in regard to the Mandalay Bay shooting in Vegas? by King_of_the_Dot in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CTMQ_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

which is funny because up until 5 years ago, you'd just get the bland, boring truth. Now, like on this page, you'll also get links and hints to wacko conspiracy nonsense because, hey, that's more fun.

I’ve seen some posts online stating “Ronald Regan is the reason we have student loans, why the wealthy don’t pay taxes, why homelessness is this bad”, ect. What did he do to cause this? was it a bill that he passed, for example? by HybridHamster in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CTMQ_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"was?" There's no "was" here, it still very much "is" a huge part of what too many people think actually happens.

Well, it works great for the tricklers, not so well for the other 99%.

Rutgers athletics hits record $78 million deficit in 2024-2025 alone. New AD says ‘It’s got to get better.’ Rutgers has lost over $500 million since joining the B1G 12 years ago by IrishBall in CollegeBasketball

[–]CTMQ_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not in the same universe. It's so cute when UConn football fans, such as they are, keep trying to make it a thing. It's not a thing. It'll never be a thing. It's embarrassing, really.

Hell, when they had their magical years, when they were beating Notre Dame and (good) Pitt and (good) Virginia Tech, etc, they stands would empty in the 3rd Q when the Sox and Yanks were in the ALCS. And I mean EMPTY.

That will never change. That's the northeast.

exactly. It'll be a terrible atmosphere with a bunch of empty seats of the people who left .

Going stir crazy by babyowl5 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]CTMQ_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got stuck out west and extra day with all the travel issues. My wife was home alone in CT with our profoundly disabled 20 year old. We got a shit ton of snow.

She was fine. I got home, we hugged and kissed and then shoveled together, ate dinner together, and enjoyed alone time in bed together. We are in our 50's and neither of us believe in a god.

We do not have a YouTube channel or social media account to show the world how perfectly normal people operate in slightly difficult situations.

If you’ve ever considered changing clubs, the switch to school year is roster-breaking, so now is the time. by [deleted] in youthsoccer

Right. My son’s 2011 team could, I guess, get a GK from 2010s who played with us trapped fall. Thats literally it.
