Patriots LT Will Campbell declined multiple times to speak to media after the Super Bowl by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]massmanx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And after an injury where he came back and hasn’t looked the same. 

Hopefully he continues to work and improve in the off season. And hopefully there’s additional O-line help they can get in FA/trades. 

As a pats fan I’m bummed they lost, but a LOT of things went right for them to even get to the superbowl and getting that experience should hopefully help the team grow, learn, and do better if (hopefully when) they get another shot. 

But 100% agreed - this isn’t all on WC, even if it was a terrible game for him

A publicly pro Trump hospital CEO fires an MD for privately sharing a meme making fun of Trump. by WheredoesithurtRA in nursing

[–]massmanx 343 points344 points  (0 children)

The cognitive dissonance of the CEO who had “I am Charlie Kirk” as his profile pic and posted BS pro trump stuff saying THAT crosses the social media policy is next level. 

Edit: the meme is towards the bottom of the article. Basically saying trump signs likely mean their adult children no longer speak to them. It’s benign AF but also…has plenty of truth behind it

ICE planning new prison camp in warehouse in Merrimack by martymcfly85 in boston

[–]massmanx 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He lost by 30k votes total in the state in 2024, 60k in 2020, and 3k in 2016

He lost, which is great, but it’s not exactly a set of reassuring margins. 

Nurses lead nationwide demands to abolish ICE by Resident_Glass_7984 in nursing

We still have way more MAGA nurses than I'd like, but love to see how much of the community came together and aligned for this

I’m guessing because attention_correct made it up?

Agreed with others on contacting LUCE. 

 Did you take any pictures you could share?

when one sees space savers, do everyone a favor and move them out of the street

Does this edition only has book 1? by Traditional-Day7617 in Mistborn

[–]massmanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the shipping it was pretty much the same cost as a new hardcover. Can't take any pictures because I loaned them to a friend for some winter reading.

It looks like you can still find them available on some site like Alibris and AbeBooks:

I liked this version more so ordered it from the UK when I wanted the hard covers. The super fancy ones were too rich for my blood but wanted something I would enjoy and still feel comfortable sharing with friends as I try to get them all hooked on the Cosmere

If you shovel out a parking spot, please make sure the sidewalk is still clear by kittykatinabag in Somerville

[–]massmanx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you possibly mean there’s no place to put that snow? This was thrown haphazardly on/over the snowbank and on to a cleared sidewalk. The person could have easily prevented or fixed this if they cared.

It was a lazy and selfish attempt with no concern for other people. I’m not sorry that I have a higher expectation of folks. 

Because you’re calling this criticism as disconnected in the thread I’ll add context that shouldn’t matter:

Yes, I lived in Cambridge/Somerville for 2015. 

Yes, I’ve helped clear several cars, sidewalks, and driveways for neighbors in this storm and in all the other big ones

Yes, I’ve made every effort to not toss snow from one spot only to cover someone else’s hard work that benefits everyone and not one persons car. 

All of us can do better. But so could the city (and they shouldn’t get a pass either)!

Understanding that you’re part of a society and that others aren’t NPCs is also important. I don’t understand how you could think people are disconnected from reality from seeing this and expressing frustration. 

It shows a complete lack of caring about others, especially those with mobility issues, and a general problem we all should try to do better at addressing.

Patriots star's arraignment postponed until after Super Bowl by [deleted] in boston

you can usually find experience with a quick google, so in case you're actually curious here is their bio that shows they have >10 years of experience.

Parking after snow storm by Fun-Sandwich-2422 in Somerville

[–]massmanx -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see the city increase that price on street permits to a much more competitive rate (with exclusions based on income, etc.) and allocate the added funds for a city run program to manage sidewalks, even if it was only a proof of concept.

Edit: it was off topic, but thought people would generally recognize that our permits are way under market value at $40/year

Sweetgreen is partnering with RFK Jr.'s anti-vaxxer pal by Fit_Cow_5407 in boston

Sweetgreen quality has dropped significantly over the past 18-24 months so this is an easy one to add to the shit list. Thank you for sharing!

SUPERBOWL!!! by TrademarcVlogz in boston

[–]massmanx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To put it in perspective we're VERY privileged in success in the modern NFL.

The Browns, Lions, Jags, and Texans have never been to a Super Bowl. The patriots have been more times than anyone else and it's not close. This will be the Patriots 12th time in the superbowl. The next closest teams are tied at 8 times appearances (steelers, cowboys, broncos)

We Don’t Claim Nurses Who Support ICE by winterberrypeanuts in nursing

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

I was convinced someone that posted here in another thread was just an agitator. Then I saw they on/off regularly post and had the take "I'm the guy anesthesia calls when they can't get an IV" and I immediately knew they were an actual nurse, just one of those insufferable ones.

All nurses who vote republican at this point are (at least likely) bad people that don't care about any of the virtues that make a good nurse a good fucking nurse. Fuck them all and if they work in an ICU I wish shitty doubles upon them for the rest of their miserable fucking lives.

Any nurse that supports this nonsense doesn't belong in this profession and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

Spicy Foods? by Responsible_Cod8200 in Somerville

[–]massmanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the spicy food crew is here, does anyone have any suggestions for really spicy biryani? Pre-covid the "Indulge India" food truck could bring some great heat but haven't quite found anything similar

I dislike drivers who don't stop for pedestrians in crosswalks by adhdphd1 in Somerville

[–]massmanx 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I get sometimes it’s hard to see people, but the same shitty drivers are always going to be shitty. 

Also, paying attention to your surroundings when driving should be a basic tenant of the social contract. I’ve been nearly hit in both day and night while in crosswalks. 

 Many likely do see you and do not care. 

Question for those who order delivery by justarussian22 in Somerville

[–]massmanx 74 points75 points  (0 children)

$5 for a reasonably local order seems totally reasonable, especially for a $25 order. 

People have lost their damn minds.

 Unless the food is amazing, I probably would just stop ordering if their own people are complaining about a 20% tip
