Que chivo is Salvadoran, mercado 27 is the Peruvian place

Need to open up the primary's and get RCV into them. The dem primary is the election in many ways. That's a state constitutional amendment to get done I think.

Northeast, in general, no one will care, or they even might like that you wear a cowboy hat, especially if it’s because you moved from Texas.

CT, same as above for the most part.

If you’re moving to Fairfield county, still wear it, but be ready for random opinions from people you didn’t ask.

The VO bomb i believe is one person because it is so distinctive and has so little variation. But the other two, i believe is some mix of a small crew, and, like you said, copy cats and such—people spreading it. That’s just a gut feeling, but the variations make it seem like it’s not the work of one person.

That's interesting. So you think Veoh, VO, and Veo, are three separate tags for three separate taggers, with the third one possibly being like a crew or a meme or something?

I had assumed Veoh, VO, and Veo, was just variation of one tagger, for style, mood, and perhaps, I always thought, time. Figured it must be cool to have a nickname you can spell these different ways.

I hope Connecticut does this. I'm sick of FPTP voting. It's not as democratic as it should be

Keep wearing it! I bet youll get a lot of people interested in talking to you about it. Probably a good way to make friends in a new state!

What's different about this police killing?

Why isn't CSP and all police doing the usual "hrmm reasonable fear for their lives, isolated incident, internal matter" act?

Well, there are variations. Sometimes there is a dot inside the O; sometimes there is an H at the end. Usually someone who tags or bombs does it in a fairly consistent way. Styles evolve and such, but a whole letter is a big difference; the dot is something distinctive. As someone who used to do graffiti and had lots of friends who did it (i don’t partake any more but still am way too into it), it strikes me as something a single artist wouldn’t do (the variations, that is).

Then there is the VO bomb thats around that often doesn’t have a VEO tag with it. I do think that is a singular person bc the style is distinct and there isn’t variation. But the VEO tag, my gut tells me it’s more than one person.

Memphis is 1200 miles to the south east. Go "seek justice" there.

Stamford is pretty diverse. Good neighborhoods,schools,nice people. My boyfriend is a New Yorker and he loves Stamford.

I've thought a lot about this and I'm curious as to your reasons.

I think there are definitely some copycats. For example, the low effort Veo scratched into the clear plastic that overlays the LCD screen at a gas pump in Hartford. I might wager that all of those are plagiarists.

When it comes to the more moderate-effort stuff, such as on a utility pole or sign along a busy roadway, so intentionally and overtly scrawled upon our concrete jungle, I think it's almost entirely the real tagger. The ones that aren't "real" are one-time thrill seekers or petty vandals, acting on opportunity, without creativity to think of anything else to write.

The ones up on bridges and the fully articulated ones all like V̷̶̘̻͔̟ͬ̋̇ͪͪ̑̓ȩ̷̵͎̘͎͙̹̺̮̈͆̓̋ͩ̌o̠̦͓̜̠̐͜͝ĥ̻̼̻̦̩̋ͫͬ̿ and stuff in full color, for someone else to do it, defeats the concept of tagging. And the risk of getting caught red handed as a notorious vandal of private, local, and state property, who would risk that but the true tagger?

I assume it's basically all the person does and definitely has help, maybe a couple of close family or crew, to drive, scout, and lookout. I assume the person has a job that requires them to be mobile throughout the region, and possibly works with said accomplices.

I find it amazing that someone has not been caught and charged with a significant amount of these. Shit I wonder if I can launch my own investigation and file a qui tam action against the person to recover the state's money, on its behalf, a fee for my time of course.

Yes let's go with the RCV. If Alaska can do it, why can't we?

Last visit I tried a 3 pack of mini sliders from the Portly Pig--surprisingly good. They nicely toasted each one of those mini sweet buns, and you can get 2 BBQ sauces of your choice on the side. Plus I ordered coleslaw and corn sides. I think it was a brisket, PP, and pulled ribs? Fantastic!

So happy that my vegetarian family also has options here, and I can indulge in meaty goodness.

Que Chivo has the pupusas! And vegetarian and even vegan ones. They have really only gotten better over the past year.

Pupusas!! Love Que Chivo.

So these are hoboglyphs right?

What do you recommend to order from the Peruvian place?

Pets or children aren't an excuse to not drive like a sane person

If you disagree, I hereby challenge you to a road course in the Walmart parking lot of your choosing. I'll bring the orange cones. I'll record it for posterity and also for Reddit to help further my theory.

wear your cowboy hat. either people will like it, or theyll think its #ironic and think its even cooler. in a world where people dye their hair like rainbows fairies, a cowboy hat isnt even noticable

To be clear, I'm not referring to the suburbs being too far spaced between each other -- which may be the case. The homes are just too spread out and nobody can do anything but drive to get day-to-day tasks done.

For buses to be functional, you need a critical mass of folks that can easily walk to bus stops and then those buses need to be able to relatively quickly get them to where they need to go. And that means more density.

Though I think a lot of this is semantics about what a "suburb" actually is. We need more "urban style" development whether that happens in towns we think of as "suburbs" or not.

CT could actually have decent bones to support more transit in certain cities. But we have hollowed out our downtowns to the point where there's nothing worth going to there. And the malls/big box stores have really cemented it.

It'll take a big shift in how we live to really make a change. Living in a city now, we get by just fine as a family of four with one car, and honestly we don't use the car all that much. Lots of buses and cycling. It's pretty great.
