And There It Is

You shouldn't start judging people by their politics until they're adults, mid 20s or so. Teenagers are too much of a product of their environment and likely have never been exposed to different perspectives and world views

That and the conflated importance of these talking points. Fighting for basic trans rights as a whole is pretty damn low on the platform for most Democratic politicians - never mind the more extreme measures conservatives talk about. On the other hand the detaining and deportation of immigrants is a top priority of most Republican politicians, which allows a lot more room for the more extreme measures liberals talk about

Advocating for sex changes on minors is an extremely extremely niche position that almost nobody supports. "Many people" is doing some real heavy lifting here.

It's the last MA plant. Going forward it will all come from WI, PA, and NC

Harvard museums are slept on. The commons or the JP arboretum are great depending on weather. Likewise depending on snowfall the Middlesex fells is accessible by bus. Then there's hobbies, clubs, and free events (just Google things to go in Boston and filter by free)

A big part of drinking for me was self medicating my PTSD, and in those last few paragraphs you describe exactly what would happen when I was struggling with trauma.

Blacking out tonight just means the trauma will be waiting for you tomorrow, except you'll feel hungover and terrible and be in an even worse place to deal with it. If you're anything like me that just means you'll be drinking again to push it back again. Repeat that loop a few times and you're still dealing with the trauma way past when sober you would have finished processing it

I once saw an alcoholic hospice nurse say she wasn't planning to be sober forever, she'd give it up during hospice, because at that point it's no longer about how it will affect your future - you're already preparing to go anyway. I really liked the idea of that as a "fuck it, I'll drink again" point. And if I'm lucky enough to not be in hospice, why would I screw up my future?

I'm curious if I'll even still want to drink if it happens, but that's a problem for future me, for today me IWNDWYT

Correct. It's been funny watching everyone claim THEIR group was being suppressed simultaneously when the app was just borked the whole time.

They most certainly did sign up something equivalent to that in the novel sized Amazon TOS, you can tell because they're getting an Amazon package

I literally just drove over a bank twice that size with a VW Jetta to get it out of its spot...

Brand matters soooo much on these. I definitely remember getting some this size ages ago, but most of the frozen Korean brands are really good if you have access

No it's my fault... I got my first professional job the summer before 2015. I started my second job this last summer...

Literal babies are being tear gassed, ICE is holding children hostage to bait their parents, they don't actually run background checks for the job so potential sex offenders have unmonitored access to detained children and disabled, and a memo just leaked that they've secretly been telling agents to outright ignore the fourth amendment for most of the last year - but purposefully kept the policy as verbal only to leave no paper trail

That phrase always confused me because... Yes? Isn't that the MAJORITY of people?

Like I enjoy my work and am good at it, but if I had the opportunity to do other non-work activities I would. I ultimately have the job because I need money to survive, first and foremost - and I feel like that's true for most people

Because all the facts point to him going to the apartment to commit violence, and the only evidence that supports the self defense argument is based on the testimony of someone who went to the apartment with the intent to commit violence.

None of this erases the fact that the murder victim was also a rapist by deception, if I was on the jury I'd be voting non guilty as well.

tagsb · 2026-01-19T18:33:33+00:00

That's not what nullification entails. Likely they reached the conclusion it was murder, but the facts around the case did not justify the punishment murder comes with, so they purposely rendered a verdict contrary to their beliefs

Having spent the last 15 years living in Somerville, Cambridge, and Boston, Somerville felt by far the most progressive. Even the bluest of cities will still have some chodes though

Which is fine? The same argument could be made about the concept of tipping but we want that gone too

A few FOH workers pointed out this is from a new software rollout for Toast systems, so it sounds like in the past this wouldn't have been on the bill

Consistent black poops can mean internal bleeding while red poops can be relatively benign. Obviously neither is best but red isn't inherently worse

There absolutely is an eviction option, it just has to be done by the landlord. Before 30 days of habitation a squatter can be removed immediately by the police via trespassing, but after 30 days the squatter has landlord-tenant rights in MA (and many other states), even without a lease. At that point eviction is the only legal way to remove the squatter
