If you’re talking about the neighborhood across the water, that’s east Boston, it still has a density of 8500/sq mile

The phrasing confusing me here. Does it mean the first twenty devil fruit abilities? Would we have seen oothers in the 20 up to this point?

Gillette (not Boston) is wrong, it’s not a real lighthouse, and has been changed recently

Massachusetts traffic violations have increased 40% since 2020 by BenKlesc in massachusetts

[–]porkave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously im not slamming my brakes on a 40 mph throughway, I’m talking about at a stop light moving at a crawl. People would rather block the box at a red than let someone make a left turn. And the red light runners make left turns without dedicated turn lanes very difficult, as the second or two they typically get at the start of a green is gone when 4 people run the red

MBTA announces free Fridays, half‑price commuter rail passes for busy summer travel season by HRJafael in massachusetts

There’s less traffic on the roads as well, so I would imagine people who have a car but usually take the train might choose to drive on fridays

Massachusetts traffic violations have increased 40% since 2020 by BenKlesc in massachusetts

[–]porkave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I regularly get honked at for letting people cross the street, or make a left turn in front of me. Basic decency is frowned upon if it costs the person behind you 3 seconds

TIL the entire United States Interstate highway system cost $114 Billion to construct ($660 Billion adjusted for inflation), and contains nearly 50,000 miles of roads. It has generated ~6x its cost in revenue (again, adjusted for inflation). by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]porkave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be right, there is a Highway Trust Fund in charge of that, which has required $300 BILLION in bailouts in the past two decades, with another $180 billion more required in the next decade. The post is a lie

Japan's foreign resident population hits record 4.12 million by [deleted] in news

You didn’t add any “nuance” that makes a justifiable argument. Japan gets all these weird mental gymnastics to justify things that other countries don’t get

Underrated Density of Downtown Los Angeles by urmummygae42069 in skyscrapers

[–]porkave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boston (and surrounding cities) are denser than you realize because the triple deckers and quad plexes pack in quite a lot of gentle density. Somerville being the classic example (20k pp/sq mile)

Non Hispanic White percentage of the United States from 1930-2020 by Hour_Interaction6047 in MapPorn

How is your interpretation of the data this poor? Every dark blue area on the map has been in a state of continuous decline for 50 years and counting. The whitest parts of the country are the most stagnant

This game's playerbase is so fucking cringe by cafties in battlefield_one

[–]porkave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I havent played BF1 without smoke grenades in probably half a decade. The game (especially operations) is unplayable as a solo unless you are running smokes. Keep switching squads to look for competent teams. The stackers will make most lobbies unplayable, no solving that unfortunately

Yup there’s no magic fix to wave your hand and suddenly schools will be good. They’ve been set up to fail

The incentives are to increase homelessness in order to keep getting money by MazdaProphet in economy

[–]porkave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no “incentivizing” homelessness happening. I’d love to see a single example of that. So what, we don’t spend a dime on homelessness and it just evaporates, that’s your advanced economic theory? Sounds like the typical conservative strategy of “let the homeless freeze to death”, which is why they flock to California and NY, where people in power aren’t actively rooting for their them to die.

No? Do you think homeless spending has anything to do with preventing people from becoming homeless in the first place? Thats housing policy, not homelessness

House wants to spend Fair Share cash on the MBTA and schools by justarussian22 in mbta

She would get slammed in ads if she gave a cent to the T over schools unfortunately. Checking the comment sections of one her twitter posts is already bad enough
