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.

Excuse me there tourist, you must not be familiar with the port city of Boston. Nobody here says Beantown. Please enjoy this documentary about our diverse aquatic life.

This is like asking "favorite kidnapper" or "favorite rapist".

Princeton is an hour from Boston with minimal traffic.
It is a suburb of Worcester.

This is such a weird post and frankly kind of insensitive to what just happened to that young man recently.

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 taxidermy exhibit is hilariously bad. I love it.

They have to pay their taxes just like I do and that isn’t an excuse to strangle the cities finances

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.

Shipping by water is hilariously cheaper than anything else. Money is always worth "a lot of effort".

I want to see changes to the property tax laws: If you don't have a permanent resident in the apartment, your property taxes get increased.
This would be put in place to combat AirBnB. You want to run a hotel, you pay extortionate property taxes.

What exactly is the point of this post? Congratulations, a cop did his job? I’m sure that’s much comfort to the people who do not and have not shared your experience, that by golly you managed to catch a good one and not someone who is in a bad mood and instigating a fight.
