It was going so well, but they just had to say it

Love it!! Common sense! Public needs more training!

It would be more useful if the drivers manual focused solely on providing a plain language outline of all legal requirements instead of being a "Best Practices Guide to Prevent Hurting Wittle Piggies Feewings"

I thought it was crack

Our train infrastructure is a fucking joke. If you're lucky and you're white collar and wanting to commute, it can be doable, but if you're blue collar and need to be on a site at 7am, you're fucked, peasant.

Wrong.

If these sub-moronic ATV riders were, in fact, exclusively Anglo...that would make me want to beat their collective asses even more for acting so shitty and making the rest of us Anglos look so bad.

I'm a Providence native, living in deep rural Kansas for the past 20 years. At some point this year, I'll be moving back to Rhody.

I've been following the ATV saga closely for the past few years...and I can say in all seriousness, when I am driving through the city and a bunch of these fools comes up on me trying to puff out their scrawny chests and behaving in a menacing way...if I think I can pull it off, I'll be mowing these fucktards down like the first day of the Macy's $99 bridal gown sale.

I have zero tolerance for shitheads like this, and zero fucks to give.

See you at the gates of hell, asshats.

It's addressed in the bill .

"Developers could apply for an exemption if they can demonstrate solar would be impractical, if they provide alternative forms of renewable energy generation or if they are constructing affordable housing and don’t have sufficient funding."

>respect and speak to police officers when they see them in the community

Eh, I get why some people might be upset, but that's not really worth getting mad over

>to turn off their cellphones when pulled over

Traffic stops famously go very well when the driver starts reaching for something immediately.

>and to answer questions from police.

....did a Prosecutor write this?

>downplayed the possibility of racial profiling, telling drivers not to assume they’d been pulled over because of their race, gender, or religion, because “All officers know that this type of traffic stop violates federal civil rights laws.”

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Glad to read that station is becoming popular

Wow, I had no idea they were that expensive. I just looked up the price of used dirt bikes and the average seemed be about 1k.

Quads are like $7k average.

North facing roofs will not benefit from solar, and in addition this bill ignores the challenges of adding a whole bunch of micro grids interconnected to the utility. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea but there’s more that needs to be taken into consideration

There was a lot of reporting early on when this started happening during the early pandemic that the ATVs were being stolen. If that is no longer the case then it’s no longer the case, but that was reported.

I’m actually shitting on that opinion, that “lazy people who don’t bother to work are destroying the traditional family dynamic of American society” nonsense but I guess not being from around here the dry sarcasm doesn’t come across as well as I’d have hoped.

And yeah, coming from a position of poverty does cause further crime, but the solution that people should just “suck it up and get a job” ignores the realities that there are unimaginable hurdles for many people to be able to make any meaningful change in that regard (education, transportation, hell it might even be difficult to be presentable - consider the extreme example of homelessness). Upward mobility is only possible if someone somehwere gives you a chance, and as a society we’ve backed off of that significantly, if we were ever good at it at all.

Assistance programs can help, and should be well-funded and not shamed; currently this is possibly the only way out for many.

But it all comes back to systemic issues; even with assistance, everything is designed to keep the “poors” down, as an example to the middle class of what’ll happen to them if they start to question the status quo and how they’re being squeezed. It’s expensive to be poor.

So what happens when you live in a place that kicks you when you’re down, and you don’t even have the ability to get around it?

You stop giving a fuck, and you form stolen ATV gangs for kicks.

Fight for a more equitable society, homies. It’ll be a better world for literally everyone.

That’s funny there’s someone I work with that lives closer to you but she’s been coming up to Pawtucket, too. It’s a really nice option!

Thanks, that's really helpful!

The funny thing is I live near TF Green but have generally found it's a better idea to drive to a station further north. Saves time and money, in this case including parking costs.

It's okay to be cautious, but with this attitude, why even bother leaving the house?

Being in New England, ticks are everywhere. My dog picks them up even just being out in our yard. Keep them up to date on Frontline/Nexguard/etc, and be vigiliant with checks. But getting a dog out for a nice long hike/walk is great for you and the dog.

>And no not creepy at all. They have tons of temp lighting and installing the permanent lighting. It’s wide open and well lit in my opinion. Parking closer to the entrance may be less creepy but the far side of the lot isn’t bad at all.

also there's security!

very safe and not creepy over there

Now please delete this post so the best kept secret of the Boston commute doesn’t explode. The parking is so nice right now lol.

There’s still plenty of parking available for that train. Lot has not filled up once yet (ridership is def popular and increasing, though). And no not creepy at all. They have tons of temp lighting and installing the permanent lighting. It’s wide open and well lit in my opinion. Parking closer to the entrance may be less creepy but the far side of the lot isn’t bad at all.

Yes. The fuck. They are.

And if it were me in place of that cop and I was being surrounded by them, I'd draw my weapon too

No judgement at all. I've never been to the Audubon society, and only remembered it through seeing it on Groupon. I think I paid $22 for the year
