Reply to Portsmouth pushes back on overnight wave of hateful graffiti targeting Temple, businesses by twosunsyzygy
How long until someone in the thread tries to argue that this guy "akshully isn't a Nazi" because he painted them at the wrong angle or something stupid.
Edit: 6 hours after I made this post, apparently.
Edit edit: reported to the mods and got a post deleted for suggesting that p*nching nazis isn't bad.
Fucking snowflake mods.

Not really. We have a relatively sized Quebecois community but nobody is out conversing in French at the grocery store with the cashier. The further north you go in the state the bigger the French speaking population seems to be though that’s likely my personal experience only.
However, folks here are kind by the by if not a little cold. I can’t imagine anybody gives you a lot of crap if you speak English with an accent (most people get a kick out of “oh you speak French!”) , but I wouldn’t expect to be accommodated hardly at all with French speaking service almost anywhere. I’m sure there are individuals and businesses who have staff who speak French but it’s definitely not common.

The police desk Sergeant used to do that to the new guys fresh from the Academy, confident in their knowledge of all things.
"Investigate a suspicious car at Mooney's Garage." Where's that Sarge?
"Take a left and head east. Go past Kinkles Pond, and take the first left. Left again at the stop sign, then around Demoriak's Corner, then pull into the first parking lot on your right. Mooney's Garage is the next building."
First, none of those people have been alive since 1955. Second, he's just given you directions back to where you started, shy of 50 feet.
"The Exxon Station?! That I was across the street from?! There are no cars there at all!"
"Heh heh."

It's all relative based on where you are, and what field you work in.
Lower-middle class Americans all live like kings if you ask 50% of the rest of the world. Then compare this area to somewhere where $160k base salary + $90k year 1 signing bonus + $80k year 2 signing bonus + $400k worth of RSUs vested over 4 years (5%, 15%, 40%, 40%) is the norm and we are just drops in a bucket. Everything scales. The easiest way to find success post-pandemic is to work for as competitive of a company as you can find while living in the cheapest area they will let you move to.
(btw I meant it kind of half-jokingly but sarcasm doesn't always translate well)

You calling 130k a slave wage is the most offensive thing about this thread

>on't really know the right solution to attract more productive young people. A lot of the issue just has to do with the housing stock being inappropriate for what most young people want and can afford, which is a nationwide problem. In our town, we've had one apartment building conversion go well, but the forces of NIMBY defeated another proposed development on the basis that the town needed
The problem is 100% jobs. The jobs go where the people go, and the people are in cities.
Are you a young college student from MIT looking for an internship? In Boston you're looking at Nvidia, Adobe, Dell, AMD, IBM, and so on. Looking for a tech job in New Hampshire? Good luck. Boston is also packed with hospitals for medical school students. The only noteworthy teaching hospital in New Hampshire is in the middle of nowhere.
Is there a housing problem? Yes, but it's for the people living in New Hampshire and working in New Hampshire. My company can't hire software engineers fast enough, even when starting fresh out of college with 0 experience $90k +$10k singing bonuses. Unfortunately not everyone can can work remotely, but the people that can can outbid 90% in this state—getting those talented young people up here would be no problem if there was work for them.
For scale, I got offered a job for $85k in this state but am making $130k working remotely for a company in Massachusetts (no income tax either btw). I'd probably be around $180k if I wanted to commute but I ain't about that life. So I work for a slave wage because I choose to live and work from up here, but I'm still far better off than most people in NH where I'd be just one of many in Cambridge.
Per the article: I'd like to see a survey from the people choosing to move up here from Massachusetts. Are they remote workers doing what I do? Or are they GOP migrants that are uneducated and couldn't afford to live down there?

Or you know we can de-center car oriented development and you know prevent sprawl, promote livable density and promote rail down to mass and other work corridors so that less traffic happens. A lot of our community's urban centers and older suburb could use some density and could handle a modest bump-up in it. It's a win win we keep sprawl outside of the woods and we increase housing without going full 10 story towers, not like that was going to ever happen anyways, especially when most recidencial zoned land in the state is reserved for single family which is part of the reason why we can't build more affordably (yes i know there's a lot of other factors as well) just preamting the density means skyscraper crowd.

This is something that doesn't get talked about enough most our towns where denser until suburbanization rolled in and then closed the development gate behind them while also inexplicable not allowing towns and city center to keep it's density. Then we pretend we lived in the woods but most of us live in suburbs and depend on suburban amenities for goods and services.

I'm middle-aged and no internet is absolutely a deal breaker given I work from home most days.

Reply to comment by Sirhc978 in Can you bargain with Xfinity? by dydyfly
You do not need to threaten to cancel. Every 1-2 years, depending on how long the contract goes, I DM their Twitter and ask for their promotional rate. And every time I ask they give it to me. No threats, no nonsense—just a simple inquiry. $59.99/month for the 800 Mbps plan. A lot of people seem to have a lot of bad things to say about Xfinity but I've never had anything but good experiences.
