I'll never understand why so many of you refuse to use the block function on these platforms. Block Rama and you will never be annoyed by him again. It's quite simple.

As for the rest, that's cute. Anyway, I'm going to continue to speak out strongly against literal domestic terrorist swine and anyone dumb enough to downplay their intentions. Not sure if you've noticed, but speaking out against these things isn't exactly "being scared of the bully." It's quite the opposite, actually. Downplaying what these folks are up to is actually quite cowardly though.

Oh no, did I offend you?

Either way, I didn't say all guns are bad. I said domestic terrorist scumbags from out of state who want to train other domestic terrorist scumbags shouldn't be welcome in our communities. Other piece if shit scumbags who would defend or downplay domestic terrorist activities should also not be welcome in our communities.

I can’t believe some fragile fellow downvoted this solid response.

I’d also add looking in the areas south of Burlington. Middlebury is a friendly and welcoming place. Keep in mind, you can feel very very rural in VT literally just 5 minutes from most town centers. So I’d say find a town with a vibe you like and look at places on the outskirts. If you go too rural you risk isolation and it doesn’t sound like you are looking for that.

There’s really no such thing as a gay neighborhood here that I know of, unfortunately, we are all just sort of scattered around. But in all honesty, I feel like proximity to Burlington sounds like it might be something you need. Especially at 22.

Good luck OP!

He absolutely does not have to, but not wanting to this strongly is uh... odd. Especially if this person is going to be in his child's life.

I'd encourage him to put the past behind him and move forward in a healthier manner. If they can all find a way to be cordial, that's going to be the best possible outcome for the kids. Tell him he can hate them all he wants on his own time, but he's a big boy now and needs to figure out how to drop whatever he is stuck on. I recognize I'm being harsh towards him and this could also easily be an issue on the other side as well, I don't know the situation. I just know it's best for the kids if ALL the adults could figure out how to grow up a bit and move forward.

It's not a law, and if it is it's dumb and no one follows it.

That said, MANY parents choose to put a clause in their divorce agreement saying that they will give an opportunity to the other parent to meet a new significant other BEFORE the children meet them. But this is usually a mutual respect thing and something done when EVERYONE'S focus is on what is best for the kids involved. This does not work and would be dangerous in abusive or unstable situations, hence the reason I'm sure it can't possibly be a law.

A couple weeks ago I was in the same area headed the same way and was passed by two cars that were clearly racing each other. I was doing 80+ myself in the middle lane and they flew by me, one on each side, at the same time going insanely fast. A second later a state cop goes speeding by. I literally started cheering for second 🤦‍♂️ but then all the state cop did was start aggressively tailgating people themselves and completely ignored the racers. I genuinely couldn’t believe. I still can’t. It was so blatant. The police have truly given up on all road safety enforcement.

Yes, I fully understand that you are ok with journalists not doing their job and instead acting more like stenographers producing weird articles that read like they were pulled from an AI chat bot.

And please, own your shit. You came in here spewing your gibberish about a “slant” I was supposedly claiming this journalist has. Yet, it’s an article about cops firing a cop, or pushing him out of the department. This is cop on cop drama my dude, where’s the slant? 🤣

I just want an article written by a human, is that too much to ask?

I didn’t say it had a “slant,” I said it was odd. Because it is. It’s super odd. Clearly this guy and the rest of the officers in that department are at odds with each other. That’s something a journalist might ask questions about instead of just acting as a stenographer while using an AI bot to pull info about the guy the rest of the department has an issue with. I’m not sure what “slant” you think I’m accusing the supposed “journalist” of having. It’s just a really really odd article. I’m sorry if me pointing that out triggered your fee fees. Hope you’ll be ok.

I had a similar situation in CT recently. I was even close enough to the cops to get their attention and gesture while mouthing “what the fuck is wrong with you, go get them” and they just continued their chat like it was a nice Sunday afternoon on a park bench without a care in the world. Cops have collectively given up and it happened exactly in 2020. I genuinely don’t understand how more people aren’t noticing it and calling them out.
