Welcome! Glad to hear that hate won’t be tolerated here.

What speech have you decided is hateful?

> Those people should be banned.

They banned. We will not support or provide comfort for individuals who promote bigotry or homophobia.

413 represent!

What? I see more Yankees paraphernalia whenever I’m in the eastern side of the state then I’ve ever seen in the western.

Source: Am from both sides of the state because of parents. As an adult, I live and spend most of my time on the western side, but still visit the eastern side often.

> I was gone for 10 years and just came back. I never realized how much I missed it. New England is a cult

Come. Join the dark side. We have cookies and milk. 😂

> Is it true they speak French there?

Ironically, some do. Fun fact, we also have some people fly the Canadian flag here too.

You will find a few Polish communities here too, and some from Puerto Rico. Throughout the years I have learned a bit of French, Polish, and Spanish for this reason. And it is not uncommon to see other flags here beyond just American.

St Patrick's Day is nearly a week-long event as well. One of the local parades here (Holyoke, MA) can vary from 1 - 4 hours long. I remember the one in Boston not being so extensive and was surprised by that fact. Although it has been shorter since the pandemic, though.

Probably trying to stay warm lol.

I’d offah yah a cuppa tea for this one but I think it’s in the habah.

Ya can get Barry’s tea at mahkit baskit. Best evah.

————— sigh I miss living in MA. I hope to go home when I retire but I can’t afford it.

I was wondering if this was coming. But I appreciate the response nonetheless, usually I just get banned and sent some canned response about rule breaking.

Genuinely asking, can you tell me why you value respect over valid & informative posts, in this sub?

Is there a gradient where disrespectful posts are tolerated up to a point?

Is there a gradient where invalid and uninformative posts are removed as well?

You should never become evangelical I’m so sorry for your cousin — the authenticity of a church is measured on how many gargoyles it has, or something

I've used both Ubuntu and Fedora/CentOS quite often, but never anything Arch Linux.

​

Any opinions on differences from the Debian/Fedora based distros?

oh hey, fellow local!

I was born in that town at the Heywood Hospital, and I don't recall seeing it either when I was younger, nor when I revisited it as an adult after I'd moved away.

And agreed about what that town has become. It's now mostly just old furniture (I think??) factories, old toy stores, and the giant chair.

Those people should be banned.

Weird, I never knew Crystal Lake had a boat house. One of my best friend's when I was a teenager lived right next to the cemetery on Crystal Lake and we used to mess around in the woods surround quite a bit.

Seeing Gardner now you would never know it was once a pretty prosperous and bustling town.

Thems fighting words round here.

Any recommendations for computer parts shops out your way?

To be fair though the more Reddit and sites like it have tried to clamp down the worst things have become. They shunned the people on the edge into their echo chambers.

Go Yanks! Get all the NYY fans in the Berkshires here. Me being one of them!

OK. I doubt that would bother a lot of workers.

That's enough to be tainted
