I quit the globe years back by telling the guy I was moving out of the country. He then asked if I might ask the people moving into my apartment if they are interested in subscribing in my place. Bruh...

Reply to comment by bostonshopper in Sorry for the million posts! The RMV has postponed my license suspension for 60 days while they "investigate." Thanks u/SchminksMcGee for suggesting contacting the local news, it's working! And they're digging into the craziness of anyone who drives in MA for 30 days being required to dual-register. by bostonshopper
Some folks in bureaucracies enjoy 30-year careers enforcing random shit like this. And they were trained to do it. My experience working in a bureaucracy for several years is that everyone treats it like Skynet, you can’t change it even from the inside. Sorry you got caught in the bullshit.

Right. Blaming the yacht club for chronic deferred maintenance by the city and state is pretty ludicrous.

Any effort spent towards canvas and not spent tending to the fields is an abomination unto the lord. Are you a heretic?

This could also easily be: “people who miss their turn or exit- do you realize the next one will also get you to the same destination?”

Unrelated but I might like to see the odds that all games sellout. Some Qatar games had visibly empty seats (granted it’s Qatar), but also the 2026 cup is going to be expanded to 48 teams for the first time. There’s going to be a lot of seats to fill

Still rumblings about Everett. The site behind Night Shift will get redeveloped at some point. And the Mystic power plant redev is going to be huge. Still some opportunities left. Fingers crossed

He would never move the Pats at this point, it was just poor planning back in the day when he held out for the best deal and threatened to move the team to CT. Revs stadium would only be 20k capacity and there are plenty of potential sites for that

It took the Pats sucking for people to finally start talking out loud about how gillette is a glorified strip mall no one likes getting to. It really is a shame Kraft just doubled down and is spending $250m on upgrades and continues to hold the Revs prisoner

Yup, and they say it will “double” your taxes but if you sell for $1,000,001 you’re only paying 9% on that $1 and the existing flat 5% on the rest. The dishonesty in these ads is incredible

My favorite part about the vote no on 1 commercials is how they whine about it being unfair because it will affect “tens of thousands” of people. So…. you’re saying 6.95 million people won’t be affected? Lol sounds good to me. The way we’ve warped this idea of individual liberty these days is fucking exhausting

Depends on what the contaminants were right. Flounder and shellfish would be fucked if it was PCB contamination because those would settle at the river bottom. Most other fish might be fine in that situation
