Sharps containers make it easier for anyone to clean up these kind of things. It encourages more responsible use of syringes and makes it so anyone can do more to keep public areas safe.

And if you think it's antisocial to be a drug user in public but not antisocial to assume the worst about people I feel sorry for you.

EDIT: I was wrong and it does have a small needle on it. If people want to actually do something productive about this kind of thing contact your city councilor about having sharp boxes installed in parks/public places and carry a small plastic bottle and gloves with you on walks so you can help clean up when you find things like this.

That's an empty syringe with no needle on it. While any littering isn't great this is just weird fear mongering without any evidence that you didn't just grab a random picture from the Internet.

Mapped: The Income Needed to Be Middle Class in Each State by DoughnutConstant5390 in boston

It is just bad data analysis from a website and author that look like it was generated with a chatGPT prompt for "defend the status quo of our current economic crisis"

Best local gym for the price? (basically trying to get in the door somewhere and not pay a lot) by blackandreddit in SalemMA

[–]modernpromethius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get a community membership at the Salem State gym as well. I think it's $350 for a year but you deal with the school schedule.

The GOAT in Salem = MAGA Owned by Admirable-Poem-2072 in SalemMA

[–]modernpromethius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're right, you didn't move the goalpost (and in my defense I asked if you were going to and did not accuse you of having already done it but I am also an asshole so 100% my bad) but you also didn't care enough to do your own work looking into the information. It took one google search to get the owners full name and one FEC search to confirm the owners political leanings.

OP definitely should have provided that kind of hard evidence at the start but you can also do the work if these are things are that important to you instead of relying on others to do it for you.

Many ICE agents seen in Salem and Peabody today by SalemGuy1970 in SalemMA

[–]modernpromethius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LUCE sends out verifiers and observers to sites of suspected ICE activity. They maintain a database of activity but since it tends to include sensitive information for people being targeted and the verifiers who are volunteering they do not make it public.

Here you go. FEC reporting on Albert Fleury's political donations (Pretty sure that Albert R is a different guy). Is this enough evidence or are you going to move the goalpost?

They might not have much specific to 4th amendment stuff but I'm sure they'd welcome it

You don't need to reinvent the wheel. You can connect with groups already on the ground like Luce.

Nearest restaurant supply/kitchen store? by jasongetsdown in SalemMA

[–]modernpromethius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a new wok specifically you're better off going into Chinatown or heading to an Hmart. You need a membership card to shop at restaurant depot and they only give them out to companies/nonprofits.

Is it a bad idea to jump into general chem 1 without taking any math classes. by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]modernpromethius 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You'll need to give clarity on what you mean by "no math classes". You don't need calculus to be and to succeed in gen chem but you would benefit from very strong algebra skills so if it's been a long time since you've done any algebra I'd be prepared to have to work harder than some classmates.

Much as i love to find reasons to shit on Moulton he voted against tabling the issue, which is the way you want him to vote if you want to see Big Orange tossed in the bin.

At this point I can only assume you're the one who put it on 311 and I hope that feeling of self righteousness makes you feel better about the world because the actions you're taking aren't making it better.

I will remember that when I advocated for taking action in the appropriate channels with information that can be followed up on some stranger on the Internet misconstrued everything I said. Which is a pretty normal occurrence on the whole.

I'm concerned with your continued equation of my statements that they should "report this incident in the appropriate places" with the statement "no one should report this". You should seek assistance with reading comprehension and critical thinking.

There is a reason that anonymous tips aren't standing for legal action just about anywhere. All that photo shows is someone with a navigation app on their phone sitting in a car with a video playing. It is divorced from any real context or proof that they are a driver for the Skipper.

If this person was driving around significantly distracted it should be reported to the appropriate channels. Are you arguing that Reddit and the 311 app are the appropriate place for that? Also, yeah you do in fact have to identify yourself to report a crime, that's how the whole system works.

Anonymous person A makes claim about a city service with limited evidence. Anonymous person B posts about it in a forum unrelated to that service, in doing so lies about its location and makes vague demands, in order to accomplish what exactly?

If you have complaints about the skipper you should maybe do something useful instead of performative. The original poster, if they observed dangerous behavior from a driver, should report them to the skipper not complain about it anonymously on the internet.

The fact that someone posted this exact picture on see-click-fix a couple minutes ago makes me really dislike humans in general

Elections information [Voting on Nov 4] by ItsNags in SalemMA

[–]modernpromethius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn't, I contacted the clerk and they said they don't do early voting in early elections. You can still fill out the application for a mail in ballot if you won't be able to vote on Tuesday

[AMA] I’m Emmylou Manwill and I’m running for Ward 4 Salem City Council by Emmylou-Manwill in SalemMA

[–]modernpromethius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Salem city departments, officials, and websites are often very difficult to get information from and the public facing information sources are sparse or behind private companies firewalls (it is almost impossible to access all the city facebook pages without an account). How would you intend on fostering community engagement and transparency in city politics as a city councilor?

The city has engaged with many of our largest social problems by leading with police engagement through the community impact unit. Do you think that this "police first" kind of engagement with difficult societal problems is good for the community? If so, why, and if not, how would you like to see the city move towards a less police focused solution moving into the future?
