I’m all for robust and open debate, but I’m like 90% this is hate speech and inappropriate for this sub. Who should I complain to?

Being a member of the LGBTQ+ community does not make someone a pedophile. People who promote that propaganda are homophobic. Neither homophobia nor bigotry has a place here, as they are not welcome.
YES, anyone who promotes that type of misinformation and homophobic propaganda will be removed.

Bigotry and homophobia are neither left nor right nor moderate, it's inhuman. If you support bigotry or homophobia, you have no place here. It's that simple.
Beyond that, disagree with me and anyone else you wish. I like having discussions and do not mind hearing opposing views. Sometimes you can learn a thing or two, perhaps even teach a thing or two, when speaking with someone respectfully and discussing topics in a civilized manner.
I think as of late, that's been the problem. People have sometimes forgotten to be civil and respectful. If you check my post history, I actually recently removed a post I agreed with, because while I agreed with them, they went well beyond making their point, by calling people's names. You can find that post here, from 5 hours ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/massachusetts/comments/10hr9k0/comment/j5byrt0/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

> 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.
There is a difference between talking and discontent. The OP was having less of a discussion and more trying to sway opinion concerning the rules and policies, which are not up for debate. - They, simply, are. You either abide by them, or you can leave or be banned for not following them. There is no alternative.

Could be your problem. I don't really look as I'm not in need but I share what I see. To humor this request I just hit up Craigslist housing and checked my local area. I'm in Attleboro. I was quite correct. I see options in Bristol County and along the South Coast as well as in Rhode Island, plenty of Pawtucket and Providence. I knew a friend who was a property owner out in Warre, which tends to run even cheaper. Where have you looked?

Maybe the window broke from an unrelated event and he’s leveraging it

Spend more time on the other side of the Quabbin and learn that “western mass” is 495 for most massholes

Reply to comment by modernhomeowner in Does anyone have a ground source heat pump? What is your experience like? by Theredsoxman
One extra thing I noted in my research. My gas furnace is fairly efficient, but it's using plenty of power too. Using June as a base for least amount of energy used, I estimate it cost me about $148 last February (573 kWh) just to power the furnace not including the gas. Ironically, our window ACs jump to similar number in the summer. It's very hard to lock down a super accurate number, but I'm confident it's in that ball park.
Electric for me is about $0.25 per kWh (even being partly sourced by National Grid)
Gas is $2.15 per therm when you stack delivery and usage.
We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the math and insight.

I would say Natick is a nice in between. You will have a bit of a commute to Norwood from Marlborough.

I think Framingham is your best bet - it's centrally located and has lots of restaurants and shopping.

It's my operating system of choice. It's free without any adware, spyware, activation, or genuine advantage activation, plus no monthly or yearly subscription fees. I work, bank, shop, stream movies, and even game all on Linux.
My distribution of choice is EndeavourOS which is Arch Linux, but with newbies in mind. They have a Subreddit here r/EndeavourOS and their website has a friendly community support forum.

>It doesn't matter if you're doing it to hate on them.
Even that seems like a bad idea to me. We've seen the comments in those threads rapidly get mass moderated for threats, and the ones not moderated are generalized derogatory messages like "All Republicans are [evil thing]" which just makes us all look nearly as bad as what we're decrying.
"They're the bad guys for being hateful" loses some credibility when the people saying it are being moderated for death threats.

Do you reckon he had it through the tiny back window that trucks have these days and the bouncing weight of the boards shattered the whole thing?
