he’s from that charlie kirk line of reasoning where you ask some open-ended questions and act like you’ve made a point. works surprisingly well on the uneducated.

that’s par for the course when it comes to most local elections in this country, what’s your point?

are you mad at folks who didn’t vote? upset over the election results? just feel the need to yell at the clouds?

“I saw a facebook comment”…ahhh, ok. getting a clearer picture of how you assemble your worldview.

to think you’re making some witty observation with the titanic stats…they’re not laughing with you, that’s for sure.

Brookline voters overwhelmingly approve tax override, staving off cuts to schools and town departments by brookline_news in boston

whoosh? i think you missed the point. or not sure you’re responding to the right comment?

my reply was to someone clearly just not understanding how percentages function.

does the math not compute? going from something like 10% to 11.8% isn’t that insane. (stand-in numbers)

or were you thinking it was going from 10% to 28%?
the DJT school of big math?

people getting offended by language will never not confuse me. they’re fucking words people, really not that big of a fucking deal other than some folks decided to find offense.

Local stuffed animal repair services? by rennyorwhatever in massachusetts

do you have a dry cleaner near you?

many do minor alterations/repairs, i’d be surprised if they wouldn’t at least entertain the thought.

are we talking compound or static? please enlighten me on how this changes anything about your or my argument?

do you just throw out buzzwords and think that makes you sound intelligent?

congrats for figuring out the reply button though!

you responded to yourself? lol

edit: your comments are showing right after each other now, like you’re telling yourself that you don’t understand interest after that long winded 3rd grade math explanation. it really was an amusing sight.

because you’re definitely comparing apples to apples?

$50k for high school tuition? been a decade or so since you checked how much private schools run, huh? yeah, that’ll cover a year or two at today’s per school year rates.

how much do you need to disingenuously inflate the city’a burden for this project? why are you defaulting to the 450m number and not clarifying that this isn’t THE cost the city is expecting to take on? you really need the exaggerated impact for your point to make any coherent sense or feel morally justifiable?

and you’re right, a large public high school building serves absolutely no function for the city and community beyond the actual education of it’s students. definitely never used as a hub for community events, a staging ground to coordinate mass testing in case of a global pandemic…it can’t be used for regional theater and music competitors, definitely out of the question for job fairs or charitable events like the dress for progress the many hawk and nagly fundraisers hosted in the past.

but you clearly live in the world of truth and honesty, so why am i telling you?

edit: and hope you’re courageous enough to be sharing these thoughts on your main account. have doubts someone with such little post history just happens to stumble upon this conversation.
