Hey! I caught that r/NewToVermont exists and checked it out, but the Visiting Vermont flair also was available. If this kinda question truly is inappropriate here, I'm down to relocate it.
I did mean that I'm being realistic — if it's not the place to be during that month of the year, so be it, but I'm not really seeking out beautiful weather. We're mountainless down here, so y'all do have that going for you year-round! Thanks for the input — I appreciate it.

Probably won’t be as dreamy as you imagine. Vermont isn’t exactly the epitome of utopia in April

You could look for a place in Middlesex. Close enough to the Montpelier train station to bike, and you would find good restaurants in Montpelier. Just be mindful that you are aiming to visit during mud season, which may make for a harrowing ride if you are using dirt roads.

> Hiya, Vermont redditors!
Hello.
> I'm seeking any help with concocting this gift.
There is a NewToVermont sub.
> Where's somewhere 11/10 excellent to visit mid-April?
Not Vermont. Vermont is dreary and ugly in mid April.
> I'm looking for daytime nature sights that take your breath away
Not in mid April.
> bike the rest of the way
Snow is not uncommon here in April.
> I'm being realistic
Not really.
> if it's gonna be a miserable ride, I don't mind knowing!
Unpredictable. Could be great could be awfully muddy.
> looking for a pretty ride
It will be dreary. Things don’t pretty up here til about June 1st but then black flies are brutal til about Father’s Day.
> we both just love taking the train
That’s cool. Not a lot of train stops I’m aware of
> Stargazing locations near-ish somewhere good for dinner. I know having food options/businesses available conflicts with low light pollution, though.
Yup.
> I love a good scheme.
Not sounding good though.

I'm so glad she got that cash. Everybody in Congress has to take dirty money to get there, but she's not beholden to those crypto-bros at all because they imploded so spectacularly.
Now she gets to do the work we sent her there to do.

Yes, I can move at any time I want.

I would if I was so offended by a sign that I was asking on the internet what I can do about my landlord's objectionable views.

Could *you* get a different landlord, just like that?

Honestly, considering how many congresscritters are not cooperating with federal prosecution? I'd like the bar to be higher, but I have to note it's on the ground.

There is not a single rock in the ground in the mallets bay area. It is all sand here.

Hilariously enough, this is exactly what the eviction control measure is meant to remedy! The landlord is literally putting up a sign to say, "I want to always be able to evict my tenants if they start a fight with me", and daring the tenants to start shit.

Except it doesn’t change the major problems and adds levels of government regulation at the regional level.
So very frustrating.

It can be frustrating, especially because so many have multiple uses. Sometimes it can be simple to figure out through context, but regardless, for communication purposes alone, its a never a bad idea to be explicit or to give examples.

100%. Reddit and the general public think "If they aren't talking, they're hiding something and must be guilty".
You know what happens to innocent people who talk? They go to jail, because they accidentally incriminate themselves.
Honestly people like the OP who criticize Balint for not talking are part of the reason so many innocent people go to jail. Common tactic of cops to say things like "Well, if you won't answer my questions, that'll make you look guilty." And then ask you a question like
"Do you remember where you got these drugs, yes or no?"
"No"
"So you admit these are your drugs".
If you are involved in any form of legal proceeding, do not talk, and do not like redditors like the OP guilt you into falsely incriminating yourself.

It sounds like the Balint campaign had no idea these funds were being spent and I'm willing to believe them on that.
But damn, the optics on our brand new congresswoman "cooperating with federal prosecutors" is a rough way to start out.

No it’s not, the property owner is displaying his beliefs, on his property. You don’t go into an Uber and adjust all the seats, change the bumper stickers and control the volume do you? Why as a society have we strayed so far from the facts, and started thinking so emotionally. Detachment from reality is applauded now.
