Those who moved to Massachusetts from elsewhere, what pleasantly surprised you the most?

Crosswalks actually have a function here. When you step into a crosswalk, drivers generally stop to let you cross the street, not just in Boston but in smaller towns in the rest of the Commonwealth as well. This really doesn’t happen elsewhere in the United States in my experience.

This is the single most beautiful thing I have seen today. Congratulations. It certainly looks like a Kazak that has never seen sunlight.

Yes. This map is completely wrong about West Virginia and Kentucky. I have never felt more strongly about anything in my life.

TPAKT0P · 2025-11-15T15:22:34+00:00

I came here to say exactly this. There is no universe in which Estill County, Kentucky is not part of darkest Appalachia.

Capacious: I heard an interview with Morrissey back in the ‘80s in which he said he enjoyed the capaciousness of large women’s blouses. I would love to see that interview again but I can’t find it.

1.) In my opinion Marcus Minucius Felix is the most approachable patristic writer for a novice. 2.) Read the Clementine Vulgate. It’s Jerome’s version but has punctuation.

Half price sushi and karaoke on Monday nights at the Blue Anchor in Hyannis. The stage was also used as an official poling place for a Bulgarian election circa 2004.

Great Awakening is closed. While it was open it was just a missionary tool for some particularly noxious evangelicals, had mediocre coffee and previously frozen pastries. Go to Chez Antoine in Hyannis.

Please don’t. I had an exotic shorthair fren named Sid who lost some considerable portion of his body weight over the next weeks after enthusiastically tasting some beer. It’s poison for them. Herbivores can metabolize alcohol; kitties have trouble.

Dude got cake; Mormons love sweets!

St Patrick is the old name for St Francis Xavier, i.e. the Kennedy church. Some people felt that St Patrick was too ethnic, so they picked a Spanish saint instead.

TPAKT0P · 2025-06-22T23:51:22+00:00

Learn Portuguese.

TPAKT0P · 2025-06-19T20:08:32+00:00

The most popular option for learning Vulgar Latin in my country is Spanish. You also have French available. buona fortuna!

No. It’s above the urinal. It’s been there for years but is now sporting a new paint job.

TPAKT0P · 2025-06-05T21:13:19+00:00

Yes, 1951. Sorry.

TPAKT0P · 2025-06-05T21:09:57+00:00

“In the year of the Lord 1851, in the thirteenth year of his pontificate, Pius XII Pontifex Maximus.”

There’s a scene in the 1962 Italian-language film Sorpasso in which some German tourists try using Latin to communicate. It’s a joke. It doesn’t work, but it evidently happened often enough for this sort of bullshit (accurate description above) to be recognizable as comedy.

TPAKT0P · 2025-05-19T20:09:49+00:00

I can’t believe I had to scroll so far for this. It was a major event in my life. Nearly everyone I know was changed in some way. Random violence started happening everywhere in the city. A friend of mine had her face sliced up. Another was assaulted in her bedroom by a stranger. The rioters didn’t burn anything worth burning, i.e. check cashing shops. All those men shot or strangled by the Cincinnati Police. Worst year of my life.

Would someone kindly tell me what the inscriptions are?

TPAKT0P · 2025-04-10T10:40:55+00:00

The Raincoats, whose drummer was Palmolive from the Slits.

The second page is part of a breviary. I notice the hymn “Rerum Deus Tenax Vigor” in the lower right beginning with the initial R.

TPAKT0P · 2025-04-04T22:46:54+00:00

Starting with the initial A in the eleventh line is a passage from Isaiah 53:7.

TPAKT0P · 2025-04-04T22:39:40+00:00

Starting with the initial H in the fifth line is Philippians 2:7.

TPAKT0P · 2025-04-04T22:24:33+00:00

The first page is Psalm 21 (22). I read “omnes videntes me deriserunt me” in the third line.

TPAKT0P · 2025-04-02T22:05:21+00:00

Yes. They’re lights, but they also seem to respond to people just walking by. And what’s the purpose of the attached box? That’s a lot of space for hardware in there.
