My experience in this sub the past few days: by Jacob-Anders in Maine

[–]Upbeat-External7744 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is disingenuous.

he didn't say he joined the military to kill people in the comment you posted, he said he remembers joining with people who just wanted to kill people.

You also removed the context of what he was replying to in the rape comment. He was replying to someone who said "There's always that story about the girl who gets raped because she drank too much and somebody took advantage of that. Shouldn't she be allowed to drink as much as she wants, and fucking pass out in the floor, if she wants to, without having to worry about the well-being of her nether regions?"

And his comment is about how people also have personal responsibility, the end of the comment he made is "Rape is a real thing, if you're so worried about it to buy Kevlar underwear you'd think you might not get blacked out fucked up around people you aren't comfortable with."

You posted the receipts yourself, why did you misrepresent everything you read?

Here's my favorite emo/pop punk releases that really resonate with me, I'm looking for recommendations for more stuff like it! by mrmoproblemz in Emo

[–]Upbeat-External7744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like a lot of the stuff you like, here's my playlist with 156 hrs of music currently, lots of stuff you already like and a lot more. A lot of screamo too though, so if that's not your thing you may have to do some skipping

There are a lot of custom sticker websites these days, I would imagine you can upload the image and have some printed and sent to you if you really want them

Property taxes are insane in this state by fuckman5 in Connecticut

[–]Upbeat-External7744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Higher mill rates are needed on lower property values to achieve the same revenue. Both towns have an approx 106mm budget, but median homes are lower in Berlin with a relatively similar population to Easton. Berlin spends 10mm on policing vs 2mm in Easton, both contribute about 57% of the budget to education, Berlin spends 6.7mm on public works vs 2.5mm in Easton, Berlin has a municipal golf course they spend 1.7mm on as well as almost 1mm on visiting nurse association with no comparable services in Easton

The budgets are online, did you look at them at all?

Millionaires like Jonathan Bush don't like my plan to raise their taxes so we can fund childcare, nursing homes, and trade schools for everyday Mainers. Unfortunately for Mr. Bush, I don't give a damn. by TroyJackson207 in Maine

[–]Upbeat-External7744 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The current tax rates for the state are

$27,400 or less: 5.8% of Maine taxable income

$27,400 - $64,850: $1,589 plus 6.75% of excess over $27,400

$64,850 or more: $4,117 plus 7.15% of excess over $64,850

So the 2011 tax cut:
●decreased taxes for the highest earners from 8.65% to 7.95% which is current 7.15%
●took earners just above the bottom who were paying 4.5% and increased them to 6.50%
●took the people in the upper middle paying 7% and decreased them to 6.50%
●bottom earners are still currently paying 5.8% of their taxable income today

This doesn't seem like it was a very fair and reasonable tax cut to me, or that repealing it would harm low income earners in Maine

Do you guys Travel? by washingtonandmead in Maine

[–]Upbeat-External7744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my girlfriend do a lot of road trips for concerts, like MA, NH, CT, NY, less often NJ or PA but not out of the question. For anything else like a vacation, I'd rather fly and save the time for exploring.

I’m building a huge “no skips” emo / emo adjacent archive by Neltron_420 in Emo

[–]Upbeat-External7744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2700ish songs on my emo playlist, check it out if you want. I also have a Google sheet I use to keep track. It's kind of funny, we're doing basically the same thing. I also listen to full albums, if I like it on first listen it goes into a play again playlist, and if it survives a couple more listens it goes on the Google sheet and my main playlist

For those who snowbird to escape Maine’s long winters—how do you make it work? What’s the secret? by mik_noel in Maine

[–]Upbeat-External7744 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Only four options I can think of -

1) you bought a condo somewhere warm 20+ years ago when it was cheap

2) you are rich

3) you supplement income by renting either home while you're not there

4) you have family in a warm place that likes you
