> husband’s internet records showed searches for how to dismember a body

What's are "internet records"?

617!!! But we didnt even have to use the area code when calling local

It's Attleboro. So yes.

I grew up in Florida and have lived in MA for a decade now. I will never give up my right to call Florida a shithole.

No problem

In my state, it's Springfield,Worcester and Lawrence. Sorry if you live there and don't agree.

I myself am from Massachusetts and avoid saying negative things about certain towns for one big reason and that there's always someone from that particular town who will go off on you for stating something that is blatantly true. So I don't.

What I don't understand is how much nicer NH roads are even though MA collects so much local tax. I drive up 495 from end to end once a week and as soon as I am on 293 in NH it turns to glass.

Have you been to Athol?

You could take the plates off and still identify them by dents, salt erosion and lift if its a truck, age if its a Camry, or just a Subaru.

So uh what do you think of Maine?

I literally told you to read the work of an academic who did a causal study. That is, he took the results of tons of studies in the subject and reviewed them to get to his conclusions. This includes studies that found no link. The overall trend is that safety inspections reduce traffic fatalities. This is an empirical fact. It can not be argued against. Get the fuck over it.

I am assuming you didn't actually read the study you linked, thought about the methodology. You just read the abstract and posted it. That's fucking stupid. Thsts an insult to people like me who actually take the time to learn about the subject and have dedicated our lives to the field.

Ahhh the old I’m losing the argument so go do the research yourself trick. I looked and have no idea what you are referring to. Here is some actual data for you if you care.

“we conclude that ending these requirements did not result in a significant increase in the frequency or intensity of accidents due to car failure, implying that the consumer and government expenditures used for inspections could be reallocated to other areas of travel safety.”

I used to work in news and read a lot of arrest reports and court documents. It never ceased to amaze me how many suspects talked themselves into charges.

No one forced you to buy that dumb car.

Mass state inspections do not check for brake or frame wear. They check if your ebrake holds up to 1600rpm. They check for cosmetic rust on the body claiming you will cut yourself.

Mass state inspection doesn't check your brakes. They check if your e-brake will hold up to 1600rpms. So goodluck with the lawsuit

Lol that sounds like shithole state talk, where are you actually from? Lololol jk

It's not that serious, mostly just friendly rivalry stuff.

What’s fascism again? The merger of corporation and state? How is Massachusetts any less fascist than Texas or Florida?

lmao good account

If a car made since the 90s doesn't have a plate mount on the front that is literally no one's fault but the dogshit manufacturer that is living in the 80s.

I feel bad for her. Clean-sheet design is way, way easier than cleaning up the absolute disaster that is the MBTA and MassDOT.

That said, there's honestly a lot of stuff that could be done that would require very little upfront investment and would dramatically improve transit access in Massachusetts. I've run the numbers on commuting from my apartment in Framingham to my work in Needham by transit, and little improvements like extending a bus line by a few stops could nearly halve the trip.

Excellent insight, thank you
