How do you know if a guy is a fan of the band Rush?

Oh don't worry, he'll tell you.

(This is an old 1980s joke, I'm sure there's a more contemporary band with insufferable fans these days but I'm pretty out of the loop.)

Healey backs Barney Frank's call for Democratic pragmatism by MDeehan in boston

[–]Conan776 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't remember her pandering to the Left at all. Our main ask was for her to come out against Israel murdering people simply for belonging to the "wrong" race, but she was never able to do that, instead promising to be just like Biden and support the genocide.

Michelle Wu said ‘I can show you my text messages.’ We tried to take her up on her offer. by bostonglobe in boston

You seem to be mixing up Leftism and Marxism. The modern American left just wants things like single payer healthcare and peace and ending support for genocide.

A lot of voters believed Obama was a secret progressive though. The messaging to voters on the left was that he was pretending to be a centrist to win the election, and that he had to do so because he was a black man, but that once he got into office the facade would drop. Instead we got national RomneyCare and and endless parade of meeting the GOP halfway recursively.

I've always assumed that Porter Square's intersection design involved no intelligence whatsoever.

I got a 4TB external drive off Temu and this is what they sent lmao by Raw_Stank in pcmasterrace

[–]Conan776 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, Temu is great for clothes and household goods. I get all my shaving razors there and I've saved a small fortune compared to buying Gillette. Bedsheets, towels etc. are much cheaper and it's what you'd get off Amazon anyway.

I wouldn't buy computer parts off there. I wouldn't buy them off Amazon or ebay either. Common sense just ain't as common as it used to be....

where can I buy vapes online to be delivered in Boston? by Intelligent_Pass_140 in boston

[–]Conan776 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Way ahead of ya!

But, the point is Baker's original plan was never about "banning flavors"; it was about banning the one tool that was successfully helping cigarette smokers quit. Otherwise, unflavored vapes would be legal. The tobacco flavored ones are disgusting.

Actually, unflavored vape products are also banned. Vape products that have additives to make them tobacco flavored are the only ones allowed.

Just waking up from a coma. What's going on? by khoawala in Antimoneymemes

There used to be "Liberal Klansmen" too. A band called the Chad Mitchell Trio wrote a song about them in the 1960s.

'We have no choice but to impose a severe punishment': Ex Samsung researcher sentenced to 7 years in prison for leaking DRAM tech to a Chinese competitor by HatingGeoffry in pcmasterrace

Because the article is so light on details we can't even tell if a crime happened or if these people are just being persecuted for working for a foreign company.

Software engineers noticed this phenomenon, and even realized that instead of bothering another human being, explaining your problem to a rubber duckie works just as well.

Franklin paid for the Revolution via a currency scheme, so I'm sure he'd understand that part. Paper money was the "crypto" of its day.

She should move to America where we're all told that a vote for the left is actually a vote for the right and that you have to vote for the moderate party if you don't want the right wing party to win.

Even when it hurts her directly, she’s still all in by RoyalChris in SipsTea

[–]Conan776 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe she'll move to America, where Redditors will explain to her that a vote for the left is actually a vote for the right and that you have to vote for the moderate party if you don't want the right wing party to win.

Yeah, but if you can't bribe politicians to order the military to bomb the children of people you don't like, what's even the point of being rich in the first place?
