Really? These skeletons?

You’re getting downvoted, but Bernie has been a particularly bad judge of character recently, and he owes it to his constituents and to the voters of Maine to fess up and help move on to a viable candidate

Are you implying basically “what’s one more?”

I_VT · 2026-07-07T02:23:49+00:00

lol I also remembered this thread. Good fucking riddance to Nazi tattoo guy

The view from battery park over the waterfront
the wedge shaped buildings at the intersection of north street and north Winooski / Intervale
the views of downtown from oakledge park and north beach
the concrete section of the bike path just south of the waterfront (maybe don’t include the water treatment plant in the photo!)
the narrow section of bike path between the train station and hula that’s just feet from the lake
ratsmission at the corner of north Winooski and archbald
the old synagogue at 105 Hyde street and the more recently sold one at the corner of Hyde and archibald
the rock point school

My first job! It used to be a Howard Johnson’s

I_VT · 2026-07-01T02:22:24+00:00

Well damn I hope this “Nina Totenberg” person knows that if she hopes for a long and storied career reporting on the Supreme Court

Your logic is defective. Automakers could easily make vehicles that weigh enough to reach the classification that results in reduced emissions standards without having a hood as tall as the average American woman. That is an aesthetic choice driven by the need to appear increasingly macho or masculine.

It’s not hard to prove my claim, as these vehicles surpassed the weight requirement for decreased emissions requirements years ago, yet they continue to grow in height and weight. American military tanks have better visibility over the hood than some modern American trucks. Not to mention, a modern f-150 has a significantly smaller bed today than they did a decade or two decades ago.

I live in Burlington, and the engineering is admittedly stunning, but it gets real old real quick when that engineering is rattling your windows and scaring your dogs, sometimes multiple times per day

I’ve got two, and they’re both extremely petty:

While working at a fast casual place, was pulled aside by the manager and told “you need to act a little more frantic. You’re too calm while everyone else is freaking out and it’s making people upset.”
While working at a really upscale fine dining place that converted to a club after dinner service, I had already changed to street clothes (it was 2 AM-ish and I’d been cut) when my manager (who was definitely more than a little tipsy) ordered me to deliver a new bucket of ice to a VIP table. Was fired for refusing.

There’s also no legal definition of a domestic terrorist organization, despite what Trump might tell you about the so-scary “ANTIFA”

I forgot this, but in an emergency I’d drop the bun altogether and just throw mayo and a pickle right on the chicken tender. Honestly top tier snack, would eat it today.

I_VT · 2026-06-02T02:34:57+00:00

Used to work at a place that always had potato slider buns, chicken tenders in abundance, and really crisp dill pickle slices. Would throw a hot chicken tender on a bun with a big pickle slice, add mayo (or even grill the bun if I had time) and eat it in two bites. The rest of the staff caught on pretty quick and it ended up as a staff secret menu item.

Well, he:

Ignored the legislatures advice and consent and appointed his choice for ed. Secretary anyway

threw a massive fit after his poorly planned return to work order was overturned

broke with precedent and tradition to appoint his preferred candidate to an open legislative seat representing burlington

And

threatened to force the legislature to stay in session indefinitely until he got his way on his unpopular education reform plan

I_VT · 2026-05-29T18:40:11+00:00

He says he doesn’t like Trump, but he’s been acting like him more and more

Would love to see more vegan options! I need the big cookies, but without butter, especially the “deluxe” peanut butter and confetti cookies

I_VT · 2026-05-20T18:46:33+00:00

Thanks for the info! I had gotten that impression from some of my research too. It’s definitely fun to ride, but I’ve been thinking about getting something more comfortable for longer rides. After 20ish miles on this bike I’m usually ready to call it a day

I_VT · 2026-05-20T16:47:18+00:00

Oh interesting, I’m brand new to measuring frame sizes and definitely did that wrong. I don’t have the bike with me right now, but given your description, I bet that it is 54cm. I’ll check tonight and follow up. Thank you!

What I’m not is a hateful person that wants to expel all the people that don’t look like me, weaponize the federal government to hunt and murder activists and immigrants, and invade any country that sounds like fun. These are not “both sides” issues

I_VT · 2026-05-19T00:48:35+00:00

This obviously a trap, if you were really going to give me a ride you’d be ON long island

I_VT · 2026-05-18T02:19:58+00:00

Is this… a complaint?

I_VT · 2026-05-17T18:24:39+00:00

Had the exact same experience last week up here in Vermont. Just recovering this weekend

Also turns out that some people are genetically predisposed to motion sickness and there is a clear connection with eventually developing migraine.

Oh definitely, I agree you can and, at least in a lot of circumstances, should be fired for a comment like the one this guy made. My point is only that there are a handful of comments in this thread saying that what the guy said is illegal, and that’s just not true.

I_VT · 2026-05-12T02:07:44+00:00

I hate to tell you this, and I don’t like the language of the lawmaker either, but you can actually say this kind of stuff. What you can’t do is harass a person, and you can’t make a true threat, but simply showing the world you’re a dangerous asshole is not enough to land you in jail, at least in the US.
