r/BuyItForLife can be a good resource too

Honestly, give it a shot yourself by downsizing.

Get rid of stuff like crazy even if you have to give it away for free. If you haven’t used or worn it in 6 months, you could probably go without it.

If you search Minimalism on YouTube you will find a deep rabbit hole of online organizers with tons of tips and strategies.

Lastly, stop accumulating stuff. Let people know the best gift for you is no gift. Don’t buy stuff because it’s on sale. Don’t pickup stuff because it’s free. Don’t buy cheap stuff. If you need something, research the hell out of it, even if it’s something as mundane as a frying pan or kitchen knife. If you do it right, you’ll only need one or two, and they should last for life.

My mom tricked me once. Said we were going to Spag’s, ended up at Edgemere Drive-In. It was a magical night. I don’t remember the movie, but I just remember the prank.

I knew CWM was at the South Street campus but did not know they were also at Maple Ave!

This was at 222 Maple Ave. in Shrewsbury. UMass still owns the property and buildings. While run down, they still have some functioning labs there. The former Center for Mindfulness also located there is a pretty cool looking building.

tl;dr, Wealthy lawyers who owns oceanfront property “seeking to void a provision in her deed, dating to 1887, that the coastal rocks and ledges on her property must remain open to the general public.”

She knew all this when she bought the place. Smh.

This is sad, hilarious, and more believable than being an actual employee.

Democracy is beautiful.

Ky1e is getting more karma and updoots than the previous mod got in their entire tenure here. Well deserved too.

I honestly hope some of those people who were quick to support the mod were just oblivious.

Once I realized what was happening, I followed the drama as it spanned several posts and subreddits.

Due to the constant deleting and locking of comments and posts though, I don’t think a lot of people realized the scope of things. I saw several “What’s happening here?” posts that came and went within minutes.

They are doubling down and tripling down: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueRandomThoughts/comments/11x4103/i_regret_nothing_about_what_i_knew/

They are also frustrated people are editing posts after being banned: https://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/comments/11x7mhd/banned_user_can_still_edit_locked_threads_and/

When in reality, the whole issue happened when they deleted posts they said they would leave up for transparency, and went on to blanket ban mass amounts of active users and contributors. They started multiple threads to explain themselves, then deleted those threads when users, in pretty much total agreement, downvoted them and rallied against them.

This is why I’m a fan of the whole upvote/downvote system. It made Reddit what it was. If a post/comment is trolling or offensive let the people downvote it into oblivion. The system works.

When there is actual hate or threat of violence, then a moderator should step in and deliver a warning, followed by a ban if necessary.

Subreddit rules should be open to occasion discussion and community review.

I don't smoke. This is discrimination! MODS!!!!!!!!!! /s

Yup. I think he might have deleted at first, then realized it would create a further loop of drama.

Locking it just as bad as IMO as it stops constructive feedback and criticism. I don’t think anybody has an issue with blocking racist or homophobic shit, but it the power tripping, karma farming, and general psychotic behavior that is harming the subreddit.

And the he has posts a generic automated message from Reddit that is likely sent out in bulk as the evidence to justify his abuse.

And the post in r/Massachusetts calling out the mod is already removed.

Edit: and now it’s back?

Jeez. It’s they are worse than I thought. If I want to read about the Ukraine war, or the garbage that is Putin, I can go to any other general news/politics or sub. I go to r/massachusetts for the local content.

They post stuff that is completely off topic to Massachusetts then throw a fit: https://old.reddit.com/r/massachusetts/comments/11u09gq/_/jcnwgrr

You should still try inviting some. They are also residents, and if something doable comes up it might help to have someone listening that could bubble up the idea.

Are there any city representatives who attend?

Do they offer real eggs and cheese, or only vegan options?

I don’t mind impossible meats, but I need real cheese.

I love the idea of free transportation but almost every bus I see is 95% empty.

Maybe just bad timing.

Are the schedules/routes just not great? Could smaller busses/vans be used in some cases to save money?

Parking not included.

But you get a pool table with no balls in the “resident lounge” and photo copier that doesn’t work in the complimentary “business center”

My personal experience, Fairway beat both my work’s credit union and my local savings bank. This was for a condo though, which does have higher rates and more red tape than a single family home.

Always shop around, but in my case Fairway was best.

Are you looking for ones with free vacuums?

I honestly don’t think I have seen a car wash WITHOUT vacuums, but most do charge quarters or tokens to use.

35 is the law. I’d be more concerned with breaking the law yourself rather than the inspection station, but they have significantly cracked down on inspection stations, so far as to require video cameras be installed to record the inspections.

The rangers patrol the Rutland State Forest pretty regularly. You will get caught.

You can try 508 International in Charlton. I know they have all kinds of trails and terrain build ups.

Freetown State Forest has sanctioned trails you can use, I think you might need to register for a pass to utilize them.

You can also try to find a secluded power line trail, but that is going to carry some risk of getting caught and more and more of them are being gated off.

There’s not a lot on the 146 corridor, but it is conveniently located half way between Worcester and Providence. Without traffic it’s about 20 minutes to both and both have a lot of things to do.

Purgatory Chasm is close by, it’s a natural rock formation for multiple hiking/walking trails.
