Correct but that was not a moral decision. The moral decision there is to abstain or to write in.
But we live in a FPTP voting system which essentially only allows two viable candidates. So someone can choose to make the moral decision (abstain or write in) or the make a non-moral decision that's forced upon them because of a system they did not choose. Sound similar?

I would tear down Six Flags Springfield and Canobie Lake Park with my bare hands if it meant I could afford to buy a house in MA.

People vote for the lesser of two evils all the time. That's why Biden won for instance. You are just being obtuse and selfish in this particular circumstance

The only moral option is to not support evil. But alas I need internet to work and I need to work to eat.

If you’re willing to travel outside of Boston, Da LaPosta in Newton. Get the chicken parm as well.

That's great to hear! For those who don't know, their home field is in Quincy. There's a themed festival attached to every home game, with live music, beer/bbq fests, activities for the whole family, etc.

Like supporting the lesser of two evils.

I'm appreciate you trying that!
I am not trying that because I don't see it as a way individual time and effort can provide value to my community.
I do direct action by giving my time to youth programs in somerville/cambridge. Praxis has many forms.

No I think you're the selfish asshole for supporting Comcast.
Look I've been involved in bringing a communal internet to a town that was eventually tanked because the big isp payed the board members in contract jobs. You try it.

As I said before, it literally exists in the commonwealth. It is realistic, it literally exists. I don't think you're a selfish asshole; you're misinformed.
Concord seems to be the closest I can find to the greater boston area with it.

The joke was that two guys stole Felgers car. There were two guys in the room with Felger alone. Thats the joke.
Mazz said nothing about race, because the race is irrelevant.
In fact, the only ones mentioning race are the racists like yourself who assume that stealing cars is somehow a "black trait", because of your assumption that the only reason why Mazz is making this joke is because the guys in the room are black...
Make it less obvious next time, bigot.

It's not just unrealistic. It's non existent.
It's okay to say hey I'm a selfish asshole who doesn't care that they are supporting the greater of two evils. You don't have to make a lengthy diatribe about why you are justified

I don't know the first thing about rugby but I went to a game last year because I live near the stadium and kept seeing signs for it everywhere, so I thought why not. I ended up having a great time! Awesome atmosphere and their mascot is ADORABLE. Overall the experience reminded me of Lowell Spinners games back in the day (RIP)
I will definitely go back again this season once the weather gets warmer!

I have tried RCN. It was terrible on a scale that I have never experienced with Comcast. You keep ignoring me saying that.
Your premise erroneously limits the options available. I gave you another option but since it is not 'realistic' you disregarded it. (FYI there are at least 3 municipally owned and operated ISP's in MA alone and hundreds in the US. It is realistic.)
It's not that I am unwilling to support a smaller provider. It's that I see the smaller provider as no different than the larger one. It's all symptomatic of the same problem.
