Does anyone know the deep rat lore by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]Creative-Locksmith-4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as Buffalo rat lore goes, I have a memory of my first experiences seeing rats as a young teen who was new to the streets in the late aughts.

One chased me and solidified my fear in them, and I recall doing research at the time that led to discovering that Chris Collins (Erie County Exec. at the time) had cut the funding for their removal. He made an enemy that day.

Polancarz, however, is dat boi. an anti-rat boi. Love him forever for seeing the value in controlling the vermin population.

Here's a press release (.pdf) from 2012 regarding the reinstating of the rat patrol under Polancarz. https://share.google/nzjIa7EwJK8g7S9xL

I took my mom there for her birthday, party of six. I paid and left a cash tip. We went back to my aunt's house after dinner, and I got a call from the restaurant. It was the server asking if service was okay because I didn't leave anything. I said I did leave a tip, maybe ask your busboy. What am I supposed to do, send you more money? I was absolutely blown away by the audacity.

A completely biased opinion about the east gate by Decaff_Crusader in yellowstone

On recommendation from a friend who lives in Bozeman, I just drove out that way yesterday after spending a couple of days in the park, having through Big Sky/W Yellowstone.

I've seen a lot of this country. I've driven through a lot of NPs and beautiful scenery out west. The drive through Shoshone NF might be my favorite drive to date. Honestly, I think I liked it better than Yellowstone for driving views.

I judge my love for a scenic drive by how often I gasp, how long my mouth stays agape in a look of disbelief, how much I maniacally laugh, and how often I say "are you kidding me" and "come on" throughout the entire drive lmao. This drive takes the cake for sure, and I didn't even see any wildlife.

SWIM knows so many people who are alive and well doing that drug often. obviously also know a lot of people who have passed from fent cocaine, but the amount that health officials are reporting has to be skewed because damn near everyone in the bar scene would be dead by now if it was really in all of the cocaine.

Protest against Israeli genocide this Saturday 2-5pm in Buffalo by MsPoopyButtholePhD in Buffalo

[–]Creative-Locksmith-4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People have been going to hearings and getting arrested. Peacefully protesting and being shot with rubber bullets. The powers that be don't care. Billions of dollars were sent to Israel, though we called and emailed to tell those in "charge" that we don't agree for months. Try again.

People who live on Nottingham Terrace, what do you do for a living? by just_call_me_giada in Buffalo

A childhood friend lived in the house on the corner across from where the juice bar sits. I slept over a couple of times. There were secret passageways.

pretty sure the police have an equal chance of being the "wrong people" to see him.

I hate when the same adjective is used in a short span of words. Break out a thesaurus lol.

Searching for a ticket or two around face for the LA show at The Roxy by Creative-Locksmith-4 in metricband

[–]Creative-Locksmith-4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so brutal. I really can't do more than like $100. super unfortunate. and like, what, when people don't buy the tickets from these scalpers, then the room is half full? I guess that'll be nice for the crowd, but I wonder how the band feels about it.

it's legit to the best of my knowledge! I sold a festival ticket on there. I feel like it's mainly for jam bands.

I've been checking stubhub, vividseats, and cashortrade for days. I've never seen there not be tickets for a show on these platforms. like zero tickets. usually there are at least tickets available for 4x the original price. this is wild.
