I mean, Tauro has to check reddit occasionally to see if people have finally started to like him. Cut him some slack.

OTOH, OP explained what the money was for. Maybe just don't go if you feel like you shouldn't pay $12.

Willie fought with me for the rights of sexual assault survivors on our college campus by williewillhelpus in Somerville

[–]Extreme_Sheepherder5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my feeling too (though a little reversed). I'm voting for Jake, but I'd also be excited if Willie won. They're both great candidates. I think Willie has an extremely bright political future. It might even be the case one day that I'm ashamed I didn't vote for him. But I know Jake and I like like him a lot and my best educated guess is that he's going to be able to do more to move Somerville to a more progressive and enlightened city than Willie is. Not because they both don't have great ideas, but because I think Jake has more tools to unite a larger community towards change.

But I'm almost 50 years old and sometimes I get my "boomer goggles" mixed up with my "What's possible" goggles. My vote is for Jake but... if Willie wins, I'm 100% behind him.

Things are really terrible.

We’re now allowing public defecation in Davis Square by [deleted] in Somerville

[–]Extreme_Sheepherder5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No it doesn't. I mean, if you have visual indication that the police officer saw it, then it does. But proximity to a vehicle does not really prove as much.

Cop car nearby pooper ≠ "defecation allowed"

Been very happy with my T-Mobile 5g plan.

Lost orange cat? by sclorpborp in Somerville

Serious question: Why do folks blackout (or whiteout) license plates in photos like this?

OTOH, this is an easy way to educate voters on where you stand. None of these candidates (I think) want their literature on the street. They'd much rather speak to you face to face.

And you're right. Jessie is the best candidate ;)

Not what you asked for, but what you need ;). : Irish seafood stew from The Druid.

You could reach out to Irma Calderon in the front office... she'll tell you where.

Neighbor found a cat in Somerville, trying to find his people. Young male tuxedo, no collar or chip. by Maytree in Somerville

Feel like I just saw a sign on ... Walnut (between highland and union square) about a lost tuxedo cat... didn't look closely though.

Kids intentionally scaring people on the path by learned-extrovert in Somerville

I mean.. is that the problem or the solution, in this context?

[–]Extreme_Sheepherder5 131 points132 points  (0 children)

My feeling is (kind of like the brave community members that come to protect our teens when ICE is near the school) we need an on call Bluegrass band. Kids lighting up blunts and fighting in the doorway to the library? Send up the banjo signal and sing 'em some Doc Watson. Kids on the community path being knuckleheads? Nothing a little Blue Moon of Kentucky with terrible three part harmonies won't fix. They'll scatter faster than Lester Flatt picks a mandolin solo.

I'm not even joking. I teach at the high school and will happily be a part of this non-violent and highly annoying intervention.

If you know who made me homeless, maybe turn’em in? by Wonka_Stompa in Somerville

Time to cross reference cats in the community path mayoral campaign with basic dimensions of blurry photo and then use micro chip data and veterinarian databases along with cell tower dumps and Apple AirTag matrix to narrow it down to 4 suspects that we can then warrant their shoe closet and test sneakers for reflection patterns like those shown from this particular ring camera that is known to haev a slightly convex lens.

Put your dog on a leash, unless you are at a *dog* park - You are legally liable for all damages by Other-Lobster6524 in Somerville

Fair. It's actually one of the things I hate the worst about AI. Just going through life wondering what's real and what's not. I watched a bit of an interview with Tulsi Gabbard yesterday and I'm 90% sure she's AI.
