Manchester is so bizarre.

I go back and forth on whether I want to buy a home that’s very close to “things” in a few years. I’d totally buy in the North End (like, north of the millyard and downtown in the Stark Park/maybe Livingston Park area) if I wanted to go in that direction.

But like a half mile away becomes not just undesirable, but “no fucking way”.

I lived in the Manchester Place Apts for a year and it really wasn’t too bad at all (the corporate aspect helps lol but the immediate area is decent) Then spent a year near Malvern Street and there was a meth raid the week I moved in..

I actually thought this was a funny response haha.

This is what people (even on here, sometimes!) often say in response to the top comment’s sentiment. “They don’t make them like they used to” … “Yes they do, you just have to look harder/not buy the shittiest brand at Walmart/not just look at the front page”

Swing and a miss perhaps lol

Maybe I’m just sorta in a bubble but I’ve never heard of this being a concern for people. More just that they can’t make the time, find the energy, or the money to pay for mental health services - or they are skeptical of medication or therapy based treatment effectivity.

I also think that, for the majority of people in the state seeking mental health treatment, there’s no (general) risk really at all of being involuntarily committed, because they’re suffering from ongoing malaise-type disorders like depression and anxiety.

Even if they’re in a depressive crisis, they still have their wits about them - but also they’ve never sought general therapy/psychiatric treatment before, so why would they make a call to emergency services if they felt suicidal?

OP, I have friends at Fidelity in Merrimack and they’re still hiring quite a bit in “core tech” and then some IT support and systems analyst roles.

Not sure if you’ve applied but might be worth a go

Zuckerberg did some similar philanthropy for some school district in NJ or something and there weren’t strings attached - we should probably be responsible and think of this more fully, as in, do we trust the Nashua Soup Kitchen to act ethically, and not subject their patrons to weird Bezos corruption?

I do.

$1.25m can feed 350 families for a whole ass year. Oftentimes this stuff has ulterior motives - good PR - but that’s really as far as it goes.

Y’all should get involved in all the nonprofits around and get a feel for how badly they need this stuff, and how often wealthy people truly do hand out cash (I know most of you are suspicious of Bezos more than the Soup Kitchen but if you take this to it’s logical endpoint it’s one and the same).

I attended a fundraising breakfast for one of the largest homeless shelters in the state recently and it was extremely well done, authentic, and raised over $300k in one hour.

It’s wildly out of reality for most sane state governments, but now I’m imagining a slightly different moderate GOP governor who does pass the bill enshrining state control - and essentially traps the Biden admin into either legalizing via executive order (assuming no passage in Senate), taking no action and sorta de facto legalizing, or laying his 80yo cards on the table and taking punitive action

One thing to keep in mind is that it’s exceedingly rare for every house member to be in attendance for any given vote.

I’ve read quotes over the last week from conservative lawmakers saying that no partisan bills are likely to hit the floor, as the outcome will be decided pretty much by whichever party had less people stay home that day.

A24 is a distribution company, so they’re tasked with finding and elevating a certain type of unique talent that can fill a perceived market need.

It makes a bit more sense when you put it that way. They’re not absurdly consistent at creating good films, they’re just absurdly consistent about finding them and fitting them into their brand (which I guess is probably easier?) They’re hitting it out of the park. I’m a huge fan of what they put out as well. I’m no film industry expert but I can’t think of a time before when casual movie fans know the name of, and have an affinity for, a distribution company.
