I don't police other people's identities. Not my place to tell anyone else that they're one ethnicity or another. Not my place to question their cultural and ethnic identity. Unless you're a latin person expressing concern about someone appropriating or benefiting from a false identity, it's not really your place either.

The recent Hitman games are soooo good. Playing all 3 with the upgrades that came with the third entry is such an amazing experience. I played through them all back-to-back a year or two ago and was 100% absorbed. I only wish there more of those sniper game mode maps from the second one.

Seems like the bases are pretty well covered.

I made a Nissan Sentra work living on top of a hill without snow tires, but I tell you that AWD was worth it when it was time to let that car go. So much less stress.

I've lived in multiple spots in 01606 and 01603 and zero complaints about the neighborhoods. The "bad" areas aren't that bad. Off-street parking is a must in some neighborhoods, though, as mentioned.

I 100% believe you. In this case, I actually wanted to cancel an account and open a new account because it was in a vanished roommate's name. They all just told me they couldn't do it and tried to get rid of me. This one guy was like: Yep, your name is listed as an authorized account user, we can do that. The alternative was to wait for the account to go delinquent and disconnected...

If you listen to folks who have other services, it's a pretty universal experience across internet/cable providers. That's not a defense of Spectrum, they've been shit forever, but they're all pretty much like this. It's kind of luck of the draw with how busy a branch is and who is working.

I once spent several phone calls and visits to their Higgins St location when they were still Charter and they all told me I couldn't get what I wanted. Then I tried one last time and got the one guy who knew what he was doing and he had me settled in five minutes.

Yeah. I use Travellers through DCU and it's a separate line in my policy. $8 a year. Why not at that rate?

If you're wondering about the rates, Massachusetts does allow insurance providers to factor in risk based on the town or city the car is parked in. Worcester is rated high risk. My insurance doubled when I moved to Worcester from elsewhere in MA.
