Reply to Dyed Hair in the Workplace by Ok_Bluebird_292
I've hired in MA for years in various fields and I couldn't care less about hair color. Experience and attitude are the first things I look at.
Every place is going to be different though and like many states MA has parts that are more liberal and more conservative. If you're in Eastern MA or Western MA (think Amherst and North/Easthampton) I'd say people are more likely to lean to towards my perspective.

I'd escalate this to the FBI if they police don't act.

Look above your circle, you're also paying a rental fee for a TV box and remote. You 100% have some form of TV subscription. The description of your package says as much as well. Change your plan and then return the rented TV box and remote.

Also inflation. Food got way more expensive so there goes some spending money.

There are so many people driving and so many who don't drive safely even for other drivers, much less for people not in cars, that statistically it's impossible to avoid not running into a dangerous situation in the places where cars interact with people running, walking, or wheeling.
We can try traffic calming and reducing city speed limits, but people driving will still speed (making collisions with cars and people more dangerous), run stop signs and lights and not yield or even look for pedestrians (making street crossing dangerous).
Since it seems impossible to change the minds and habits of every person driving, it seems more effective to reduce the number of interactions between people in cars and everyone else doing anything else. We have sidewalks for pedestrians (though they still get hurt and killed even in marked street crossings). We have "bike" lanes for people wheel (bikes, electric scooters, motorized wheelchairs, etc) though because of the way many are built and protected there's often still a lot of interaction between people driving and people wheeling.

It's because people who ride bikes are tired of getting injured and killed and watching silently as others are injured and killed by people driving cars all while being told they don't deserve safer infrastructure and that they are entitled whiners when the meager infrastructure they have is occupied by parked vehicles.
Most people who bike are asking for safety. That's it. The refusal to back down is being falsely painted as a culture war by people who'd prefer the status quo where people on bikes should not expect safety.

>we're in a world now that is in many ways broken because many can't work together on common problems.
You weren't trying to solve a problem or work together with people. You were trying to silence a conversation. I get that some people go too far, but moderating civility is different from what you were doing. This was acting on a vendetta, which is as slippery a slope as there can be.
If your unable to recognize that mistake and own it entirely without trying to walk the apology back within the apology, it's probably best you hand over the reins. Kudos for recognizing at least that much.

Reply to Is the bike related post ban for real? by nomolurcin
I'll say this. If one person is the sole arbiter of what's acceptable and decides to use that power to settle scores it's not really a community.
It's one thing to remove/lock inflammatory posts, it's another thing entirely to say something entirely on topic and related to public interest and safety cannot be discussed.

You keep saying illegal immigrants, but the article clearly states they are migrants, some of whom are undocumented. They make no reference to the languages they speak or do not.
None of that really matters, of course, but you are clearly writing a false narrative.
The difference is that DeSantis just lied to people and then dumped them on a small island without any plan to support them in any way. Moving a group of migrants to a hotel is extremely different. If you can't recognize that you lack the cognitive skills needed to opine on the topic.
