Why not just have the sea do it, they’re right by it

This is a very specific type of murder/manslaughter. You're race obsessed. It's a leftist thing, being independent has nothing to do with it.

Wow! Well done OP!
This painting is special to me. I bought my first home in Jeffries Point last year and took sailing lessons from this exact spot at Piers Park Sailing Center last July. Every time I set sail I’m awed with the view. I will certainly be buying a print!

Reply to comment by bcardarella in Comcast left a note stating they plan to dig up my lawn upgrade a line. I don't even have Comcast and I don't want them digging. How can I stop this? by bcardarella
I'm just a stupid guy on the internet but I think I see both where you and the people you're replying to are coming from, even though his comments are deleted
You don't want your property and plant beds changed without your permission and some assurance they'll be mindful. Meanwhile you'd be shooting yourself in the foot to not get this fiber terminated at your house fo free while it's being offered
Idk man sleep on it, see if you can't get the owner/supervisor of the contractor to agree to not break ground until you're there

Reply to comment by socialthrowaway87 in Best bars for queer women? by Electronic_Yam_9246
I don’t think acknowledging the reality that we live in is implying that we should not participate. But it is disingenuous to say that we are letting fear limit us as though it is an unreasonable fear. Describing the very real, if small, fear of sexual assault or worse as “comfort” is tone-deaf.

Sounds like a plan considering how little work police really do, especially in smaller towns. They get so bored they pull you over just for fun. They get paid good money as well, look it up. You can find out how much each town pays their police workers. It's more than you think it is. :-D Especially if they have a 'degree', their initial pay rate goes way up. It's the new thing to do, get a 'degree' in like criminal justice or w/e then apply to become an officer. I'm sure this has changed recently, but I know there used to be an upper bound on how good you could do on the exam, due to the belief being too 'intelligent' (a metric as a result of your exam score), results in lower retention times. Intelligence became a liability of sorts.

Reply to comment by candidcamerapeepshow in Town Manager wants police to fight fires due to staffing shortages by Boston1_
I think that’s a good idea! They can explain to the fire that while the USCG isn’t under the DOD they are still considered a branch of the US armed forces and will command the same respect

Somewhat related, but Davis County, Utah, the sheriffs are paramedics available to do ALS intercepts with Basic units.

So, you’re not showing me anytbing I don’t know here as a native of snow and ice. Are you expecting to somehow educate with me via YouTube? I don’t have a lot of regard for those who cite YouTube videos during debate. Might as well cite Wikipedia while you’re at it.
Sincerely can’t believe you used YouTube as evidence or a citation.

These are honestly my proudest downvotes ever. Get a grip folks. You live in NE. Ice and snow happen. It’s so soft to complain about it.

And even the creator of the 401k regrets what it did to the system.

Reply to comment by foreignalfredo in Trying to find an apartment in Boston for a year lease starting in July, how should I find my best/cheapest option? by foreignalfredo
I would start looking now and be fully prepared to live with several roommates.
I would look in all Boston neighborhoods.
And you’ll need a plan to find these roommates. Or start looking for rooms to rent (lots of folks rent out a room as a summer sublet)
