On this sub liberal means never going past Tremont St., championing condo developers as the heralds of progress, and looking down on people not thriving in the zero-sum corporate hellworld. So yeah, unions BAD if they represent a group we can slap a binary label on.

No shit.

I'd try the Brattle Theater in Harvard Square

Trump University proves to be a sham yet again, lol.

Nothing about the population growth of Canadian geese in urban areas is natural

Europe & New Zealand consider Canadian geese an invasive species. I'd love to see MA do the same. Their population growth is not "normal" & is in fact fueled by humans.

It'd be completely reasonable to engage in some population control, like we do with several other species. As the other poster said, their poop makes huge areas of parks basically unusable. They also can't be around airports for fear of another Sully incident. Terrible & invasive bird.

Usually.

I had them for a while (when they were RCN) and had minimal issues except needing to call every year to get a lower rate. Switched to Starry when it became available in my building.

If I had to guess they blame it on “well no one’s died yet!” And “we’d have to reconfigure six driving lanes of traffic to make room, too expensive!!!

I feel like at the very least they could raise the curb way up to a protective one?? I hate this stop as much driving past waiting passengers as I do while waiting myself. Nightmare fuel

Yeah I deliberately left that part out because it was so cringey but in hindsight it was the most telling.

"virtually unusable"... Come on, get real. I grew up running through goose poop playing soccer and baseball. It doesn't even stick to shoes like dog poop. It's a total non-issue unless you're a massive diva.

Any bar at 5pm

Except that argument was never the REAL argument, haha. The actual argument was just “fuck liberals, smart people, and acknowledging this pandemic is real”

Since when are unions conservative?

Uhh no theres a couple of stops like this in a row on the Brighton stretch of Comm Ave. not ONE. Chestnut hill, Chiswick, Sutherland, south street all just mini sidewalks instead of stops.

Also they did close some of them like two years ago?? At the very least they could raise the curb so a car maybe slows down a LITTLE before mowing me down

Gotta pick your battles though. This ain’t it.

I for one would love to see a future where all USPS employees had mail cannons for arms

In this case that concern was pretty easily met. An internationally declared pandemic, and an FDA approved vaccine. The whole time, this has been so far on the side of reasonable that the opponents just looked like idiots.

Probably moved on to the Neponset before it gets cleaned up.

The George Howell locations usually have a decent selection of gear. Not sure about grinders, but it can't hurt to get in touch and ask.

They render sports fields virtually unusable. Have you ever played on a field covered in goose shit? It's both nasty and treacherous. They are so populous because humans scare all their other predators away.

Dunno why you were downvoted this is correct. Some like 90% of our water bodies have been polluted / PFAs in them. Eating a single fish can be like eating up a months worth of forever chemicals.

It isn't the union's job to do what is right.

It is the union's job to advocate for the rights of the members of the union. This leads unions to take some unpopular stances, but a lot of rights were unpopular at the time the union(s) advocated for them.

Or people could just learn to live alongside birds. Such a crazy mentality to think the whole world belongs to us and we can kill anything that is even a slight inconvenience. Let the birds hang out in the field, they're not that bad, it's just a dumb meme that they're actually scary

Don't remember the "popular" argument, but the only place this would have held up is that the vaccine was basically experimental and not fda approved. As soon as the vax was approved however that argument flew off the table.
