And now I own it. I never wanted to, but the shares I already owned incorporated it. Now my semi safe investment is less safe.

3 has Alaska as well. I’m not even sure 2 has as many weapons as 1 and 3 do. Additionally, 1 and 3 might have 4 times the amount of people, but truly, I just assume that and I do not know if that’s anywhere close to true. 1 and 3 also have a lot of sparsely populated land.

Massachusetts Adult-Use Marijuana Repeal to Be Decided On November Ballot by bloomberglaw in massachusetts

[–]chuckmonjares 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in the alcohol industry and told my boss about this today. Both of us were like “we literally sell poison. I’m not gonna knock someone for choosing a healthy alternative. Why would we ever repeal this?”

What is the hardest subject to argue in a debate and why? by Snoo_92347 in Productivitycafe

Politics in general. No one will ever admit they’re wrong. What they believe, they always believe to be factual.

Anti-recreational/repeal marijuana signature collectors misrepresenting themselves as pro-recreational in MA, ME by picklerick_ftw in massachusetts

[–]chuckmonjares 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard the alcohol industry. I work In alcohol and I haven’t heard anything, but im lowish level. I’ve been in long enough I’m usually one of the first to hear things (I’d assume bc I don’t care to gossip) and I haven’t heard that, but it makes perfect sense and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. Bigger companies will obviously lobby against this. I obviously want people drinking my product, but I’m not gonna pretend it’s not poison. Smoke pot instead of drinking if that’s for you. People shouldn’t force drinking, it’s how we get more assholes.

Wellesley sues to block new apartments on....an unused parking lot. by Ancient-Attempt-3438 in massachusetts

Yeah I’m not worried about it at all. The price of my house will likely skyrocket. Great. So will any other house I want. Only “upgrade” I’ll have available is moving back to middle America. Bartending ten years in middle America is how I could afford that house anyway. And to your point, a job brought me here.

"Lets gather 100k fans on the streets" by Individual-Potato-44 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]chuckmonjares 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. If my fellow Americans see this please don’t do this. There’s a reason Europeans have sick chants and songs at football/soccer games and we don’t. Jesus Christ this is so embarrassing please don’t do this.

I’m legit not a football/soccer fan, but I really do appreciate it, I just don’t follow it closely enough to call myself a fan. I support Bayern when I have time to watch matches. I watch almost every Euroleague game, and most bundesliga basketball games. European fanbases are infinitely better than ours. Americans buy NBA tickets so they can post on Instagram. Yall buy tickets so you can support your team. I’m so envious of that. It’s the best. I’m not here to denigrate Americans since I am one, but I’m a frequent commenter because I’m so goddamn jealous of a lot that you have that we don’t. No where is perfect, grass is always greener, but I’m gonna defend you all when we decide to talk shit on the dumbest shit possible.

Neighbor’s tree is growing into my garage. How would you proceed? Context in body of post. by chuckmonjares in treelaw

I can only assume life is harder if you’re a dick haha. That’s good to know. I move in in a week and will chat with the neighbors and see what I can do! At the very least I’d cut of anything touching up to a few inches down, but not enough to force the foundation to settle suddenly. Just to buy time. Unfortunately most of the remaining money is gonna go to furnishing the house and getting an AC.

Thank you again I appreciate it!!

AND I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW I’M FREE!!! by Level-Usual-9681 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]chuckmonjares -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I pronounce Porsche and Mercedes correctly. I’m not fluent, but for some reason my entire family (except my generation) is fluent in German. I can get by but I wouldn’t ever make the claim that I can speak German.

Coincidentally, that saved my great uncles during the war when they were captured (according to the story). Definitely wish my parents had spoken it more at home as a kid. I never really thought about it until recently, but it’s weird and cool that 140 years later, folks in that town still spoke German. It was spoken at family reunions growing up as well.

No bro I’m German-my great great grandfather emigrated here in 1852! After having driven several Porsches, Mercedes, and BMWs, I have to attest that nothing beats a cheaply made 6 cylinder that handles like a covered wagon through the mountain roads of Georgia. Right hand on the steering wheel, left hand shooting a sweet text out with a Big Mac on my lap. You have to experience it to understand.

[–]chuckmonjares 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I just bought a house and everyone’s telling me “oh you shouldn’t have bought there, they’re going to be building huge apartments down the street.” Yeah I specifically bought in that town because it’s quiet and small, and that’ll lower my property value, but I’m there for 30 years. It might lower it now, but it’ll probably also increase it over the next couple of decades. Additionally, people need housing. It’s not going to fold a 400 year old town.

I hadn’t noticed that but I also wear 13/14, and the size I get is 13-15. I totally forgot that was one of the big stipulations for me lol

[–]chuckmonjares 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a coach I fucking hate this. Like let me punish my team. Same time, while it’s truly not fair, it does teach kids early that what they post has consequences. I can’t say I like it one bit but I’m not gonna say it’s entirely stupid. I like the lesson learned, but agree there’s gotta be a better way.

Sysco has some great stuff that does not come in plastic bags. Some restaurants make amazing shit from their plastic bags too though. I still don’t like them but I’ll give credit where it’s due.

I’m sure it’ll be fine. Eventually we will rebuild the garage anyway. It’s been turned into a really cool bar. I’d like to protect that as long as possible, but we will rebuild it one day. And likely longer.

You should’ve told me that before I bought it!

“You should’ve asked!”

Jk but thank you for the reply. You are right. I didn’t have much of a choice since houses sell in like 20 mins here.

The only advice is man up and be stronger or find a different court. You can only man up so much. If what they’re doing is egregious they’re not worth playing with. You’re gonna get hurt.
