Misleading word salad is what someone says when they want to discredit you but not actually provide any facts to the contrary. And then, when you call them out on how ridiculous it is, they are indignant. Good job 👏

Yeah don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re out there trying to make a living and some asshole steals from you. Fuck them. I’m sorry this happened and good luck.

Reply to Metro--encouragement for my teen? by lizzylizlizzo
I’m sorry she has to deal with this but it’s reality as you’ve noted and there’s some great suggestions here. I just want to say for the majority of us men who aren’t creeps, if you see a young woman being harassed step up and help. Even if you’re not a big, imposing guy, confrontational, know BJJ, etc., you can run interference with the aggressor.
“Hey, man, you look familiar. Don’t I know you from…”
“My man you dropped something back there”.
“Hey I’m not from here can you tell me how to get to xyz?
It may give her an opening to bounce and signal you know what’s up and are trying to help out.

I’m really glad you carry pepper spray and despite its legality I hate it can’t be more easily obtained in the district. Just please, please be careful and not use it in a confined space like a crowded train. That can go very badly.

I’m not bringing vitriol. I’m also aware there’s conflicting data in regards to sentencing. There isn’t though, to my knowledge, conflicting information regarding gun violence offenses. Aren’t you at least open to other data which doesn’t jive with your own instincts?

And yet, recidivism is more likely for violent criminals who use firearms. Nearly 70% of offenders commit another violent crime.

So yea, it does sound great.

Dude asks for recommendations and half of you make it about you and your “beliefs”. Just relax.

Great comment. It’s just common courtesy and a nice gesture. Not everything has to be cancelled for goodness sake.

No it’s just us old millennials with disposable income who have been itching for live music and love reminiscing on our youth.

The “Get a lawyer” crowd presumably realizes the cost involved with doing so could be high if it turns into a prolonged battle. Maybe they’re rich?
Anyway, did they approach you and give you a heads up Re: these renos? Is removal of the fence absolutely necessary or just more convenient? What do you mean when you say that your neighbor “hasn’t acknowledged” the surveys findings? They just went LOL don’t care?

These are really weak, lazy replies. You’re not really saying anything of substance and yet you insist on criticizing others of being indirect and/or verbose.
