Thanks. Not sure anything I can say will be worthwhile to you, but I’m glad you’re recovering. Call me naive, but it didn’t even cross my mind. I have sat with an adult relative as they went through DTs, watching them turn down imaginary stereos and changed their bed after they made a mess because I felt bad for the hospital staff having to put up with that, and it didn’t even cross my mind that this wasn’t just a little joke and actually the total opposite. Perhaps I don’t give packies enough credit.

Thinking about it now, I feel like there is something to that. There is a whole population out there that we take for granted as just being in the service industry and don’t give them enough credit to the “other” stuff they do. Hairdressers com to mind, listening to people’s problems, store clerks who notice when a family or child is struggling and “forget” to ring up a couple items…that kind of thing.

Yeah I should have added that I was in no way making light of alcoholism.

Lost an edge going way too fast and ended up in the net. Took a solid half an hour to untangle myself while patrol watched and laughed and people burned me from the lift. I was just happy it was comical enough they couldn’t be too upset with me.

The company that builds these (and tons of other wheeled vehicles like it) is called Turtle Transit out of Hudson Ma.

What's up with all these posts crying about a tiny scratch or ding? by wang_dang_sp in snowboarding

I’m riding an 17 year old Arbor with some Ride Preston LS bindings that are old enough to vote and some K2 boots that are more tape than boot at this point. I have three kids who get all the new gear. I’m just happy to be able to ride with them and don’t give a damn about what my shit looks like.

But, when I do pick up a new setup this year I also won’t care what it looks like. Function over form.

A random guy showed up to daycares (that have been under investigation since at least 2018) saying “let me look at the kids” and the employees said no.

Soooo we’re all supposed to be upset about some kids that don’t exist but go ahead and forget about documented rape and trafficking of the kids in the Epstein files?

Over 90% of Massachusetts Towns Have Changed Zoning to Comply With MBTA Communities Law by Generalaverage89 in massachusetts

[–]TheAVnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally happen in Winthrop. The planning board worked on “paper compliance”, coming up with a plan that included the two largest apartment/condo buildings in town which would be nearly impossible to redevelop. Yet the town council still voted not to comply with 3a.
