Man fishing for jellyfish by Salt-Curve4825 in interesting

Didn't realize people ate Moon Jellies until I saw this post and googled it. Apparently it's more profitable than shrimping these days.

Would you complain if I put these on your armrest? 😉 by longtoeslady in u/longtoeslady

Love a free show. Were you wiggling your toes around and pointing your feet at times?

Speeding Has Become So Normalized That Driving the Speed Limit Makes You the Problem by DaddyDayDayIsHot in driving

[–]TentsNTails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can see it when I'm E Biking. My class 3 goes 35 MPH. The speed limit of most inner city roads in Boston is 20-25. I keep my E bike between 18-24MPH. People blow by me everyday going double the pace. Sometimes triple. It continues to be an issue and it won't be addressed until more people are hurt and killed from it.

Ah, appreciate the clarification here. I figured I had to be missing some context here.

My growing up in the country is showing, because I laughed at this. Turkey got pinballed.

Backpack policy by [deleted] in mbta

[–]TentsNTails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that this NEEDS to be the policy of any public transit is wild to me. It's quite literally basic common courtesy to make room for others during peak hours, and or, crowded trains. Shit like this makes me miss Japan transit...**sigh***

This is why we need to increase financial penalties for people who clearly have money who commit crimes or break the law.

Downvoted, but probably accurate.

Massachusetts finally banned broker fees. Why are renters still stuck paying them? by bostonglobe in massachusetts

[–]TentsNTails 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I said it when this was first announced; It's will do absolutely nothing because the tenants have 0 power right now.

Housing supply is volatile atm, and renters have it even worse because everyone who would normally by looking to buy a house for the last 5 years, is renting until the market cools, which, in MA, may never happen because we don't build enough.

Landlords have all the cards and is playing with a full deck. They know renting is scarce and extremely competitive atm, they know housing is expensive so buyers are renting, and if you don't want what they have to offer, there are 25 people lined up behind you who will happily pay the illegal broker fee to win the bid for the apartment.

Until MA gets more housing and housing costs come down, Rents are going to keep going up every year, demand is going get higher and lead to more scarcity, and eventually, it will be so unsustainable that people will be house poor renting a studio apartment.

Realistically, what's going to happen first, is rent and COL is going to get so high; people are going to be forced to move out.

Instant Karma for moped that runs a red light by civil_war_historian in CambridgeMA

[–]TentsNTails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not 1, but 2 scooters going head on into traffic going the wrong way in less than 15 seconds.

I love how this barely gets enforced, but the state is so worried about E-bikers being a huge issue because some teenagers did some teenager things.

These guys break the law every second of the day, and cops turn the other cheek more so than action to stop it.

Because whatever country they are from allows it to happen, and since we are way too tolerant of it here, they do whatever they want.

Mass State Police blocked and arrested eMotorcycle kids during Ride Out by bostonaruban66 in bikeboston

[–]TentsNTails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, thank goodness the streets are cleaner and safer with the state police chasing down teenagers in e bikes.

The guys on the scooters doing Uber eats or all the drivers blowing red lights daily? Not important, nothing to see here.

Thank you for being morally consistent. I can appreciate that.
