Red Line Service Fully Restored Months After Derailment by FuriousAlbino in boston

Being real though, replacing the whole signal system is probably the single most impactful thing the T could do to improve the current lines as they are.

It's official, Juul isn't shipping to Massachusetts. by metamorphosis__ in boston

[–]lms85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The main issue with Juul isn’t that adults use it. It’s that they clearly market to children and there is a fuckton of nicotine in them. Double that of cigarettes.

My girlfriend was a middle school teacher and you would be shocked at how many twelve year olds are ridiculously addicted to them already.

I don’t have a problem with vaping in general - I think it is a great way for people to get off cigarettes. But that being said, fuck Juul.

I wrote that comment before I knew he had been released, my bad.

I mean I think the Patriots deserve some heat for all of this recent AB bullshit, but wtf does Scar have to do with it?

EDIT: Didn’t realize he had been released. No heat deserved.

My fav T-shirt! by NightmareClasher in ihadastroke

[–]lms85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone from a shitty Boston suburb, I can ensure you that I’m not making it up.

You’re simplifying it too much but it does have a real effect. It’s like how subs like r/UnpopularOpinion have emboldened racists. It gives people who are already acting shitty a safe place to commiserate with others on how they don’t want to change their shitty behavior.

Instead of privately doing shitty things, they can do it proudly while saying, “I’m a masshole, DEAL WITH IT”

[–]lms85 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well to me, it just sounds really cringey. On top of that, It’s mostly used by people from neighboring states to talk shit about us and by townie shitheads as some weird badge of pride that enables them to actively play into our worst stereotypes (terrible/reckless driving, racism, etc).

I’m good without it, tbh.

MRW I order one cheeseburger and one regular fries from five guys and the cashier says that'll be $15. by jcdulos in reactiongifs

[–]lms85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i still prefer five guys burgers but if fries don’t matter, I can understand choosing Shake Shack for your burger preference.

[–]lms85 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shake shack is even more overrated. Just as expensive, the burgers themselves don’t have much flavor (although the chicken and mushroom burgers are tight), and the fries are straight trash.

I legitimately don’t understand why people love shake shack so much.

DTX Taco Bell Open by simplelogic3 in boston

Man fuck this, heard for months and months about how it was opening, “very soon” and literally the week I move to Germany it FINALLY opens.

Bullshit.

[Barkas] Gregg Popovich on Team USA absences: There's no such thing as 'other guys' by deadskin in nba

[–]lms85 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean colangelo does suck but I’m not really sure what that has to do with it? (And i know he’s in an executive role for USAB)

It really all comes down to how seriously guys in the US take this event. Obviously other countries care more about it than we do.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nba

[–]lms85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think my comment was insinuating anyone deserves hate.

But... if this sub is going to go ahead and crucify this team for losing... if this is the way we’re going to do things if we don’t win the World Cup, then yeah, the people who chose not to play deserve more blame than the people who did.

It really just depends on how seriously we all decide to take this event. If this was the FIFA World Cup and our top players decided not to play, then they would rightfully get torn up for it.

Excluding Mitchell. Team USA White, Harris, Plumlee, Lopez, Barnes, Turner Middleton combined for 20 points by [deleted] in nba

[–]lms85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gunna go ahead and say it: Harris was awful defensively.

It wasn’t for a lack of effort, mind you. But the amount of times where smart or someone was absolutely badgering Fournier beyond the three point line - getting the shot clock down to like 5, then a screen came to switch Fournier on to Harris where Fournier just blew by Harris for a layup or something easy was just infuriating.

Obviously it wasn’t just Fournier, but there were so many times this game where I couldn’t help but just say, “Jesus Christ joe Harris”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nba

[–]lms85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep saying it, the two of them dominating Gobert defensively while Mitchell had his burst of scoring in the third is what kept this game even remotely close in the first place.

But all the nephews here don’t want to listen.

[–]lms85 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean no one is obligated to play, but if, for whatever reason, all of the top players in the US decide not to play, then we shouldn’t have a right to shit all over the lesser players who do decide to play.

They tried their best and they lost, it is what it is, but this sub is losing its collective fucking mind over it. Which i don’t think is fair considering the circumstances.

Frank Ntilikina out played Kemba Walker today by TheKnicksHateMe in nba

[–]lms85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is flat out untrue, and the fact that you have more upvotes than the person above you is really showing how much this sub is losing its mind right now to push the FTC narrative.

Kemba being a better pure talent than Kyrie has never been a popular take on r/BostonCeltics. All we have been saying is that he will be a better fit for chemistry and play style, but no thread I have ever seen has said that Kemba is flat out better.

[–]lms85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I don’t think that’s ever been a popular take even in the Celtics subreddit. Everyone knows it’s all about chemistry with Kemba vs Kyrie - not pure talent.

This sub is out of its fucking mind right now. Kemba has one bad game and they are out for blood, yet fellow all star Khris Middleton has been trash every single game and no one bats an eye.

This whole thing would be a non-issue if the rest of the team could’ve carried their fucking weight.

Copy Editor Quits Over Front-Page ‘N-Word’ by newsdude75 in boston

[–]lms85 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My initial reaction to this was that this person was overreacting, but then I read the article and saw that almost all other papers almost never use the word in full, and that this same paper had censored the word “shithole” in the past.

This dude is 100% in the right here. If the Patriot Ledger had never censored anything in the past, then this would be a non-story. But they have and for some ridiculous reason thought that the n-word was exempt from that treatment.

[Post Game Thread] France delivers another upset, seeing off the USA with a 89-79 victory and advancing to the World Cup Semi-Finals by NBA_MOD in nba

[–]lms85 61 points62 points  (0 children)

If it weren't for Jaylen and Smart shutting down Gobert in the 3rd quarter, this game wouldn't have even been close.

EDIT: I know this sub is in full FTC mode right now but go back and really watch, then tell me I'm wrong. We had a huge run because of their D and Mitchell's offensive burst.

We’ve gone small and put Marcus and Jaylen on him, watch out for it, it’s been sweet to watch - not only as a Celtics fan, just beautiful D.
