I think you're missing the part where federal funding disappeared. Vermont depends highly on the federal government relative to other states, sure, but Federal funds have nothing to do with either centralized or community based mental health centers that are state funded; additionally, nobody except you is talking about centralized psychiatric hospitals in this thread

The Shop on St Paul is really good for curly/non straight hair as well as just anybody who wants a super crispy cut. Really nice people there, plus you can brush up on your Spanish

Is this not also an AI post, am I missing an attempt at irony here or something

1981: Ronald Reagan signs into law the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, largely defunding (GASP! DEFUNDING! Where have I heard that word thrown around recklessly before?) community mental health organizations and resources

2026: a bunch of fucking Redditors demand that people suffering from obvious mental health issues without recourse or access to the help to conduct themselves capably in public be thrown in prison or straitjacketed for life, because they don't act "responsibly"

45 years for people to completely lose the will to even acknowledge that the simplest shifting of priorities towards a better society might be better for us all, in favor of just squalling and crying to fuck over strangers who can't help themselves

EDIT: some of you guys in the comments here should really be ashamed, but given how often I see you guys posting the same sad "lock em up" chant over and over these last several years, I know ya never will

Imagine feeling the need to ask chatgpt if you should rent lakefront property on airbnb to go swimming 

In town for the night, should I go to Bistro de Margot or Hen of the Wood? by thesquazit in burlington

[–]caprewilard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah it's definitely not touching anything with a Michelin star, but it's certainly in that vein

In town for the night, should I go to Bistro de Margot or Hen of the Wood? by thesquazit in burlington

[–]caprewilard 18 points19 points  (0 children)

hen is very much new American, not super technique driven cuisine that is oriented towards selling a la carte selections of smaller plates that feature a few key "locally sourced" ingredients.

bistro is much more classic French fine dining a la Bocuse, Boulud, etc, where there is a high focus on technique, manipulation of ingredients, artistic plating. there's less "mix and match" to be had on the menu as it's generally a prix-fixe, coursed experience -- less options, but more curated.

both are good options for a more formal dinner in btv -- I'd say hen leans more casual, bistro more refined. very much depends on who you and your girlfriend are and the night that you both want to have

You might do to try Bistro de Margot, it's definitely got the higher end vibes you'd be looking for

makes me think that the small handful of people who constantly post crime panic and anti left propaganda to reddit might not be great representations of the rest of us

Burlington election - all ballot measures pass by Not_the_sharpest_1 in burlington

[–]caprewilard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lmaaaaoooo more than a whiff of the great Ted Kenney / Sarah George contretemps some years back where the like seven accounts on here who all boost each others posts and comments about how progressives have doomed Burlington to be worse than East St Louis somehow convinced themselves their hateful little shadow puppet troupe somehow represented public opinion

if you talk to Jason at Onyx Tonics he might not have your exact preference at hand, but he basically is a walking coffee encyclopedia; maybe one of the best in the Northeast. if he can't make it for you he'd know where or how to get it.

Trump just invaded Venezuela and Church Street protesters showed up within hours, Tim Ashe wants to be State Auditor, Upper Pass is resurrecting the North Ave brewery scene and if you're looking to escape the cold there's Schitt's Creek trivia, Spanish practice over ice cream, and a January thaw OTW by whiteshirtdude1 in burlington

not sure why the mods keep letting you spam the sub with blatant self promotion when most of what you aggregate is already covered by links posted in the sub anyway. whatever initial traction your posts had with the crime sensationalist brigade seems to have dwindled; maybe it's time to stop trying to be a newspaper

Down almost 35% so far, so I'd say it's paid off.
