Looks like he could be weilding a machete, or a hero sandwich I can't decide.

I understand why they got to the point of cursing at you - after they disagreed, you just tried to shut down their dissent by saying it wasn't up for debate. IMO it's not very civil to silence people who disagree with you, either.

Lmao.
Geographically, I am more toward Connecticut, but I have always had a fondness for Rhode Island.

I'd go with the Framingham/Natick area.

> Didn’t you ban someone in this comment thread for disagreeing with you?
In this thread? Only 1 person was banned, and it was because they started cussing at me (those posts have been removed, too).
I'm fine with people disagreeing with me or anyone else, respectfully. I'm fine with people having a difference of opinions, thoughts, and ideas.
But once you cannot be civil, you also cannot be a member.

Lived in both Framingham and Norwood. Natick has a nicer town center than Framingham, if that matters to you and you like walk ability. Framingham has been Up and coming for the last 15 years, but maybe the new apartment complexes downtown will finally improve things. Most spots in Framingham will make a nicer commute to Marlborough either via route 9 or the pike.
BJs and Target are right near the on ramp in Framingham. You could alternatively hit Costco after work in Dedham. $2k-$3k should get you a nice place (I haven't rented in a while) and the only reason I'd pick Natick over Framingham would be proximity to something you particularly feel the need to be close to (like a better town center).

> I hope to see some changes in terms of the echo chamber status that this sub has developed.
I love participating in a wide range of discussions. I have no control over what other people think, feel, or say (within the rules).
But my opinions are my own, and I can separate them from being a member -vs- a moderator. I like debating, so even if people disagree with me, it is welcome.

Marlborough is super convenient if you work on/along the 495 corridor.
Edit #1 Also one of the best walking trails in the state, (in my opinion)
Edit #2 It's also right next to Hudson, which has got a lot of good spots to eat.

I've felt like that before. My perspective of time can be funny sometimes. Again, I wish you all the best and hope things turn around.

I am Catholic, and I believe we were always Sunday too. It was the Jewish faith that is Saturday.

> Ignore me I'm sleep deprived and depressed
While I, myself, do not suffer from depression -I can most certainly sympathize regarding lack of sleep. I am often a functioning insomniac.
I am sorry you're expecting that. I hope things turn around for you.

It's exactly what they want. It gives the hate groups free publicity. People on this sub were literally sharing their propaganda for them! Any time one of these assholes hangs a sign in public, it gets posted online for far more eyes to see it.
It doesn't matter if you're doing it to hate on them. You think they've never been called mean names online before? They don't care, and it still spreads their message. What's more, how are we supposed to know that the propaganda isn't being posted by the hate groups themselves? I saw a goddamn rally invitation shared on this sub before the mods put a stop to the nonsense.
