It’s a figure of speech. They don’t F around when you “block the box” or care if your car gets wrecked parked too close to the intersection. I’ve seen a garbage truck run over the front of a parked car in Albany and the cop told the trucker to “keep going, that’s why he’s not supposed to park there”.

And it’s those jackasses who hit the guy crossing the street in the cross walk turn a short walk into serious injury or dead.

This is something I notice happens in Worcester more than anywhere else in the state. In NY, it’s almost an arrest-able offense. It’s like the people going 5mph under the seeps limit in the passing lane. It’s never enforced so nobody cares. Once the cops start nailing these people, it’s not gonna stop. People are much too selfish to consider others.

I always made it a point to bring my kids to vote with me. I let them fill out the ballot. It’ll be their turn someday. Maybe someday your kid’s bane will be in the ballot… maybe that’s not such a good thing though. I dunno

HEY YOU! I already did! Mailed it in last Monday. So much easier and no lines or traffic. Really should be a Saturday holiday.
If you don’t vote, don’t participate in our electoral system, can spare two hours every two years, you don’t get to bitch and complain. GET OUT AND VOTE!

I had one in my attic. I covered the place with dryer sheets. It was gone in a day. Maybe I got lucky but I’ve done this w boats and campers. Keeps all kinds of rodents away. Maybe you get lucky and the $4 solution works while you look for pros

Or maybe there’s too many friggin “burger” themed restaurants. That and the video game bars. In reality, there’s only so much demand. How many times a month do you want a $15 burger? Everybody is trying to be something that everybody else is already doing or done. Some originality goes a long way

Reply to comment by Watchfull_Hosemaster in Do you think MA needs to build a commuter rail between Worcester and Fitchburg/Leominster? by HRJafael
Or be forward thinking and not wait till there’s an over abundance of demand and then do something about it.
Like our highways, there was t a huge demand from Oxford and Webster to have 395. But since it’s been here the towns along it have increased population well above those who don’t have access.
Building rail lines ahead of time helps “city/urban planners” establish and organize burbs or urban areas ahead of time so we don’t end up with the disasters that are the up and down, left and right mess that are Worcester streets.

It’s a city stupid. If you want quiet go move to north west Maine.

Reply to Good places to find cheap video games? by AlexVill_21
Pretty sure “That's E!” has older games. Like NES, gameboy, N64, Xbox, ps1 and 2 stuff. I didn’t notice any current gen games because I was considering buying Excite Bike just to put it on the shelf as a childhood memory but I’m already running out of room hiding the stack of 90s comics I have to hide from my wife every time I go there

How about they pay taxes on the billions (/s) of properties and buildings they have in the city and then tell us how racist our street names are. Cmon man!

Move out of the country if you hate everything around you so much. Move to Zaire. I hear there’s no Italian festivals to ruin your commute

My god, not everything in the world is racist. That word is so abused it’s lost all its meaning. It’s like “awesome” in the 90s or “epic” in the 00s.
What next? Change cotton to “funnsies”? Cotton is a word people relate to plantations which is related to slavery = racist. What about “farm” or “crop”? Aren’t those related to plantations and therefore racist too?
Just stop. Stop trying to be offended by everything. Just. Stop.

Just keep this in mind, pipelines are much safer than trains and trucks transporting anything really.
