Yep. And those spots are, well, crappier WalMarts to visit because of it.

Because you know what WalMart needs? Even more trashy people drinking nips and/or beer in the parking lot before driving off.

You should at least hear them out as to what type of problem it is. Like the other person said, it could be that they know about something that will be an issue in future.

Try different towns around it - Medway is not cheap. Heck, you could get away with living in Warwick RI because you'd be close enough to there. Better luck will be had in Franklin, Bellingham, and Milford.

Yes. Is this even a question? Yes - absolutely.

This is great but it looks like it won't actually be open for anywhere from 1-5 years according to the article. :( I wanna go this spring!

There's been multiple investigations and, quite literally, thousands of arrests with hundreds of convictions so far... Including a known hate group officially being convicted for seditious conspiracy - working with people on the inside with the intent to stop the election. It took years and was proven in court. And you think that is peaceful? When was anyone from BLM charged with (let alone convicted of) seditious conspiracy or was it even discussed that they might be charged with it?

> Nobody shot the place up.

It's been proven and admitted by Oath Keepers that they brought a trove of firearms to DC and stored them, ready to hand them out. Yes, they were armed with stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs... And oh yeah several absolutely had firearms.

> Nobody shot congress people.

They were chanting for the death of Mike Pence and there's loads of footage of these people roaming the halls of Congress trying to find Pelosi and other liberals while they're armed to the teeth. Why do you think multiple people were shown with zip-tie handcuffs when they broke into congressional offices? ...What do you think would have happened if this mob had actually gotten face-to-face with liberal representatives?

> Nobody burned the building down.

They trashed the building, raided offices, stole items and paperwork and computers, smeared shit on the walls, smashed windows and statues, but I guess that's all okay because they didn't burn anything down?

> In this country, where every left winger screams about how many runs there are in this country, the only person shot was an unarmed girl.

Calling her "an unarmed girl" is some shit, dude. That's a former Air Force veteran and officer. That's someone with a history of violence and harassment of neighbors. She was shot as she and the rest of the mob were screaming and attempting to overcome a barricade within Congress while being told over and over again to stay back and not go through there by security as they were in the middle of evacuating the politicians from THE VIOLENT AND ANGRY MOB WHO WERE THERE CHANTING FOR THEIR HEADS. She was the first over the barricade so she caught the bullets. She even has a history of losing her mind and ramming her SUV into someone years before the Jan 6th insurrection attempt... And, what, do you think she would have just surrendered and been peacefully arrested once she got over the barricade and got close to those officers?

My dude, Fox and lots of rightwing media has done a number on what people think happened that day. In fact, it's been now proven that Fox knowingly has been misleading the public not just about the Big Lie of the 2020 election but also January 6th.

Okay dude, I am saying this with the intent of reaching out and not being condescending... So please don't take this the wrong way.

You really, really have it twisted with what is happening with Fox News. The reason this is such a big story for other reporters and the reason this is catching all kinds of attention (including from pandering talking heads on the left who are way too gleeful about it) is because it really is an epic shit show.

Fox has been caught - from the head and owner of the network down to the individual star reporters - admitting that they know they are lying and pushing an unfair narrative and that the right-wing politicians on their shows are known to be liars, grifters, and that they cannot stand them. And then they get on TV every night and literally do the opposite. It's proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Fox is purposefully lying with the explicit intention of manipulating its audience.

That's, well, fucking huge. Because while all news outlets still suffer the "we need to tell this story so we can get ratings and help market it to our audience," it is never really outright and blatant lies. And there certainly is never an incredibly detailed digital papertrail showing that everybody is in on the lie.

Places that call themselves news need to report the news or else what they are doing is, well, against the law when they lie about companies and people. They committed libel and defamation and are undermining democracy. This was sorta well known within the public because it was so blatant (which is why late night show hosts have been skewering Fox since the early 90s), but to have it revealed in such a way and being so blatant means that they've finally been caught red handed. Their lies are done with a forethought and intention to deceive the public for malicious intent.

As multiple lawyers and even lawyer-educators who teach law school have said, they can't even use this case as a test of students because it's such an obvious and thorough slam-dunk of a case with a very obvious ending.

Edit: Just gonna downvote me on both replies and refuse to talk about it? You know I have sources, dude. Sounds like reality hurts.

And is there ANY CHANCE that people are thinking of forming a sumo club? ...I know I'd probably have better luck asking for an Edgar Allen Poe Impersonator club but I would really, really find a group that wants to do sumo.

Just providing a launching off point for OP since nobody else was replying to them at the time. Of course places shut down their kitchens early or many of what I listed doesn't quite fit... But some did. 🤷‍♂️

Yep. Just providing a launch point. Most restaurants/bars, if they serve full food, close down like 30-60 minutes before the whole place closes. And OP asked at like 9 at night or so so I was just doing a low effort attempt to help a bit.

Here's how to find this yourself: Google Maps, "restaurants in Worcester" and then search near the time you want - which is now since it's quarter of 11pm.

What I found is still open on a Thursday until at least 11pm: Bonyton, Mercantile, Flying Rhino Cafe, Armsby Abbey, Bocado, Boardroom, Quinn's Irish Pub, and of course a bunch of fast food places.

I mean... No, it is not too late. Yes, things are bad now but the point is about preventing it from getting worse, right? And I think it's supposed to get worse.

Ya know I'm starting to think they're showing alternate universe... Where the shape of your Cumbies can change whether or not you have a zombie outbreak. Shiiiiiiiit - we're not the worst timeline!

Any chance you would qualify for LIHEAP? They can help out a bit.

https://www.mass.gov/service-details/learn-about-home-energy-assistance-liheap

So any energy experts wanna chime in on how long these ridiculous rates and etc will keep going on? I know global shit like the war in Ukraine has to do with it and it's hella complicated but if anyone could talk about how we get rates lower - if there's anything people can do from here - that would be great.

Bus maybe? I know there's definitely one that goes as far as Framingham but I'm not sure if they go all the way to Worcester.

They're not a really good dispensary. They promised about a year ago to be putting out real, regeneratively grown cannabis but they just used some BioBizz nonsense and produce mids like most other dispensaries. I really hope they improve though because they're not a giant MSO.

My two cents:

Mission, Resenate, and Mayflower are places you go to for lesser quality but good deals if you think their product are nice. Good Chem and Botanist have great quality very often but not every time. Trulieve (aka Clear Sky / Blue River Terps) literally killed an employee through negligence and is one of the worst MSO's around that practices incredibly scummy business that literally fights to give them a monopoly / keep smaller companies out / lobbies against the right to grow at home. They have some good stuff but giving them money is basically helping to make the cannabis industry worse in the US.

Sunnyside, Diem, the Vault, Major Bloom, and other places are very much hit or miss depending on what you buy - most of what comes from their personal stuff is mids quality IMO (or they only wholesale from others). And if you like their stuff, no judgement on you because we all have our tastes but I've yet to see anything from any of these places that has impressed my cannabis snob tastes.

It's a schlep, but I do recommend checking out Local Roots out in Sturbridge for their hash and flower or products from Bountiful Farms out in Natick are very often excellent as well. Of course, lots of great caregivers and small dispensaries in Maine and there's even a few small batch places that sell to a couple of the RI dispensaries (although that's definitely a pain in the dick to go through).

Home grown is the way to go. For newbies, get a 2x2 or 3x3 space in your home, get a cheap growtent setup with a LED, buy some cheap supersoil like Ocean Forest, and plant a few autoflower seeds or clones you get from a dispensary. Water for a few weeks, once in flowering or flipping to flowering get yourself a cheap organic bloom booster and feed once a week. Keep the temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s in the tent while your lights are on. That's it. You too can have 3-6oz per plant yields and be growing for like $10/oz of whatever strain you want. ...And then after enough practice and runs, you'll eventually get it down cheaper and cheaper and better and better quality.

A simple Google search gave me this as the top answer to whether or not a DUI checkpoint is legal in MA: https://www.massdefense.com/what-are-your-rights-at-a-dui-checkpoint/#:~:text=Like%20it%20or%20not%2C%20sobriety,as%20well%20as%20interview%20you.

It's legal. People might not like it and I'd argue it's a chance for cops to be unnecessary dickheads, but it's 100% legal and it's asinine to pretend it isn't. I can't believe you demanded a source for something so inherently easy to look up and then call folks a bootlicker for being incredulous that you think such a common practice is illegal.

Are people who have a problem with the police saying they don't want any police at all? Are people who think police are too often violent trying to say that cops should never, ever use force?

Disliking the methodology of catching more OUI drivers isn't the same as being pro driving under the influence.

Knives and sharp objects are significantly easier and cheaper to get a hold of than a firearm. I believe (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that most slashing / stabbings are generally with stuff like kitchen/steak knives.

You pick up the TV and you walk out because Walmart's policy for dealing with this stuff is to document it, call the police, and not have a confrontation with the thief.

...Do you want to give a gift that people hate or one people might actually like? How about like a plant or a bunch of woo woo stuff from a place like Tap Root or Funky Stuff? Who doesn't want a bag full of feathers?

This is what I thought about first. It's a group literally known to be operating a world-wide pedophile ring and coverup - one that has repeatedly been shown for decades now... And they're busy protesting story book time readings because the people reading it are queer or like to wear dresses. Where the fuck are the Proud Boy dickheads now?

What is the Cardinal going to do when even the Pope signs off on covering up pedophilia?
