I had a high school friend who lived in OOB with his dad in a tiny apartment. Just from looking at the outside, I had to wonder 1) how that fit the both of them and 2) how they survived the cold of winters as well as crowded summers.

Myself, I've gone to OOB quite a bit. They had a bonfire event that was pretty neat, and so were the fireworks, but it wasn't eye-popping or anything. And going during the day was absolute hell, at least 5-10 years ago.

I'd much rather go to Ferry Beach down the road. Much calmer. The food is probably the best thing about OOB.

The more people that go to OOB, the more people miss the good shit that's right down the street and is much calmer.

I could literally grab some food at OOB, take a small drive, and eat it in a quieter place without crowds that make my anxiety go whoa there.

Good job showing your ableism. You couldn't find any other adjective to use other than a slur? Specifically wanting a female DJ is dumb? Stupid? Idiotic?

FWIW, it helps me weed out people who are ableist and don't have a good grasp on the English language.

Nah, just people who can't drive worth even the smallest hill of beans.

I was just thinking of all the pictures that are gonna flood this subreddit of people visiting this pole, lmao.

Isle of Dogs, but with a bit of a twist.

> appreciate your horror stories of who to stay away from

Well, VIP is one of them. They are absolutely notorious for scamming people out of money for bullshit repairs. My mother was a near-victim who didn't fall for any of it, and that was two decades ago. Many a story has been shared on this subreddit of people who got fucked over or nearly got fucked over by VIP.

You are far better off going to an independent mechanic, not a chain.

Me shitting and puking my guts out yesterday really was a sign of the end times...

English knowledge, like patience, is becoming more and more of a virtue.

Oh I'm listening. I'm laughing at how much of a fool you're making yourself out to be right now, and listening.

Keep making ASSumptions and keep making an ASS out of yourself while you scrabble to have the last word.

ASSumptions make an ASS out of you. They do not, however, make an ASS out of me because I'm not the one assuming weird shit and getting defensive over what I say. You can't really assume something that's the truth.

It is 56 degrees outside. Go touch grass instead of being so protective over what you say on the Internet and continuing to butt heads with me. Breathe in the fresh air. Take it aaaaaaall in.

Didn't seem like you understood that your opinion isn't fact at first. That's why I pointed it out to you.

You're the one that posted a stupid comment about the story. We're under no obligation to answer, but we both did anyway, just in different areas. I, at least, have learned that you can't really argue with stupid, but you can call it out.

Jumping the gun and accusing Walker of being condescending on the sole basis that you two aren't talking in-person.

For someone who doesn't want to talk about this and wants to talk about what the post is actually about...you seem to be exercising the opposite of that pretty damn hard.

I was actually planning to respond with my own opinion before I read the entire conversation and decided to respond to the further stupidity presented instead.

Just because I respond to someone's comment calling out their stupidity doesn't mean I need to state my opinion on the issue the post is talking about. It's possible and it's allowed to do both.

I've tried, but when you wear $30 glasses for your nearsightedness and are chronically fatigued, it takes a lot of effort to actually see shit, y'know?

I don't even look at the stuff that's at store checkouts half the time. I just want to pay for my shit and leave.

I'm not any under obligation to, but sure, I'll respond to yours.

Like WalkerBRiley said, no one's demanding we freak out--the article literally states that if the impacts did hit here then it would be low-hazard. At best, however, we should be concerned. This is a serious event with very serious consequences and anyone who isn't at the very least concerned about it...well, I worry for 'em.

Hey now, I speak the truth. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you, dear reader.

I haven't. I've lived here for 20+ years and have never heard of needhams until now.

I haven't been inside a Reny's in...gosh, how long has it been? 6 years? Yeah.

Still never seen nor heard of these things.

And just because your opinion is different from mine doesn't mean you're right, either. Goes both ways, budster.

It's either the Ohio train derailment or the Chinese spy balloons and whatever the fuck other flying objects they've been shooting down like it's IRL Duck Hunt.

I don't think I need to explain which news story takes priority and I don't think I need to explain why it takes priority.

Who here has ever even heard of a needham? Generally curious.

And where does it say "white/X race" or "white/Y race" on this map? Do tell me!

Thanks for your daily asshat quota fulfillment. Feel free to stop by the office tomorrow. We'll have it reset for you by then!

No shame in stating my harmless opinion.

Mixed? Unless it's white and another race, I don't believe this map at all.
