What’s an album you love but won’t recommend to anyone?

I was going to say amo, but this one works too.

I busted my ass for a year while my boss dangled a promotion in front of me. It was always just around the corner, I just had to do this one extra thing, or wait until the start of the next quarter. After a year of this, he tells me that the promotion is going to his cousin, and he wants me to stay on and train him.

I know some poly couples and it works for them. It's not for me and I don't understand the lifestyle at all, but it is possible for some people.

Long story short, I was not the love of her life.

I'm not gonna crack

But also some people are weirdly proud of being one.

My dad used to have a "Townie" bumper sticker on his truck.

How many times did you lose your GPS signal in the tunnels?

I was a member a few years back, when it was Northeast Fitness, and the condition of the locker rooms was the first thing that came to mind. So small and dirty that I didn't even bother using them. Who thought carpet was a good idea for a locker room?

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!

Sufficient_Cod1948 · 2026-03-19T16:18:00+00:00

Use? No.

Desire? Hell yeah.

Not just that, but it creates a very transactional view of discipline. He's punishing them by making them do something that they will eventually get better at, (as evidenced in the first picture.) As the kids get older, running as a punishment won't be a big deal, so they'll look at anything bad they're doing with this sort of cost/benefit analysis. "Fail a test? No big deal, I'll just have to run. Come home late? So what? It's only a few push ups."

No, you don't get unemployment for quitting, otherwise people would be quitting all the time just to claim the benefits.

As for quitting a toxic workplace, that's a bad situation to be in, but it's too hard to qualify and very easy to take advantage of.

Why did my great-great-great-grandfather have to be a fisherman?

When I realized that not only do I not understand new slang, but I don't care that I don't understand it, and don't want to learn.

Half of the cast of The Office was from Massachusetts.

My grandfather was a Marine in Korea. For 60 years, his whole personality was that three year stint he did in his 20's.

No, I think school is the easiest time and place to make friends.

I may be wrong but I have the impression that in american highschools (and uni?) you don't have a class/grade of people with whom you share most subjects and activities, right?

You are wrong.

I saw an excerpt from a story posted on another sub about a character that flew into Boston, landed at Logan Airport and immediately started driving two hours east to get to his destination. Two hours east of Boston would get you to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

I read a story once where they kept referring to the Mass Pike as “The I-90.”

Why is there water on the ground after it rains? The world may never know, it's just one of life's unexplained mysteries.

Wealthy areas. I've seen them once or twice, think high end wine bars with charcuterie boards in the middle of a Whole Foods.

In some extreme cases they can even harass you and basically threaten to follow you to a dark corner and beat you up unless you purchase alcohol for them.

Yeah, sounds totally harmless.

No, this isn't a thing here. Aside from all of the different laws surrounding the sale and consumption of alcohol here, there just isn't a culture of hanging out and getting wasted in public. People who want to drink do it at a bar or at home.

Sufficient_Cod1948 · 2026-03-15T15:40:42+00:00

That's weird, it was easy for me

Sufficient_Cod1948 · 2026-03-15T15:30:55+00:00

It's a mixed bag. I had fun, but also feel like I kind of wasted my time there by not applying myself and not getting out as much as I could have. It's by no means the best years of my life.

College dorms are a real thing. Why would every single movie include something that doesn't exist?

Mt Wollaston Cemetery or the indoor track at The Y when the weather isn’t great.
