We can respect the law, without having to respect the man behind a badge.

We should always react in a traffic stop as calmly and conflict-avoidant as possible. But that’s not because the police deserve respect, it’s because they have a fucking gun - and proven time and again that they will use it against people that don’t deserve it.

You had a great experience, and I’m happy for you - but you only need to be unlucky once.

Not sure about the Boston duck boats specifically, but I've heard that a lot of duck boat operators are seriously negligent when it comes to repairs and maintenance, and sometimes the modifications to make the boats in the first place aren't safe. It was awesome to do it as a kid, but I'm not sure I'd do it again after hearing that.

The new Sam Adams tap room next to faneuil hall is honestly not bad. Ive always been able to get a seat at the bar upstairs, the space itself is pretty nice, beer is not expensive, and they have about 10 exclusive beers on tap there which are all very well made. Also a great place to practice a completely made up backstory for yourself since the bartenders will always assume you are from out of town.

I don't get it. Why would a Russian oligarch find it funny that a big cargo ship moved cars between two American states via the cheapest means possible?

I think Russian oligarchs probably have some more serious stuff to worry about - like finding a way to keep ingratiating themselves with Putin so they don't accidentally fall out a window with three gun shots in the back of their head.
