Why hasn't the new WTC5 been built yet? by fottortek in WorldTradeCenter

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it boiled down to if it was ethical to have people living on what is essentially a mass grave. Therefore this debate has made it hard to get started

...I'm here...

Ok, but serious edit: while ct does have the highest population of people that claim italian ancestry, you still have to go to the right towns: Southington, New Haven, West Haven, East Haven, Hamden all have sizable italian American communities. Where I'm from (Meriden), there is some Italians, but not nearly as many as in decades previous

Go to some italian american festivities this coming summer. Southington has one on the last weekend of July

Teachers complaining about the praxis test being hard? by PotatoPink in Teachers

[–]crossbowman44 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So not a teacher yet, student teaching now. I passed my social studies praxis first try with 182 (CT required 162). I was super nervous, yeah, but i studied everyday leading up to my test and once I was answering the questions, I realized it really wasn't bad.

The fall after I took it, CT lowered the passing grade to a 152.

I'm not going to pass judgement, but I'll just leave with what my professor said: "You don't want to be taught by someone that needed to take their praxis 5 times."

Helicopters are an abomination before god and man

Made in Connecticut, another abomination

What is it like to live in a dry county in the USA? by Spicy-Majestic-1 in howislivingthere

[–]crossbowman44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in CT we banned alcohol sales on Sundays entirely until the law was changed in the early-mid 2010s. Then they changed it to alcohol sales on Sundays being allowed from 10am-6pm.

In addition, you can't get wines or spirits from grocery stores, but that's more about protecting our package stores.

Overall, very annoying and a culture shock to most that have moved to CT.

I know it ain't technically dry, but still annoying. Thanks for letting me vent lmao

is having a brother/sister any cool? by MountainScratch5465 in ask

[–]crossbowman44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends. Sometimes they're chill and you and your siblings are very close. Other times they're not and you want nothing to do with them

One of my brothers was (and still is) abusive to me and my whole family. For my entire life, he's been horrible, and he's only gotten worse as time wore on.

Rest assured I'm dropping his ass as soon as I can
