But I live here now....why don't you accept me as if I was your old neighbor!?

I don't think people realize it's years or decades of trust being built between people that allowed that to occur.

Someone hunted this year on some land I have. They asked permission even though I have known them since I was a kid. The common courtesy thing to do. When year was over, they gave me a gift card for groceries.

Nothing crazy expensive and wouldn't be enough to fill a basket of groceries, but it wasn't expected or implied. More of a, "you fucker, you didn't have to do that." They also did the gift card trick because if it was money, it's easier to deny money even though it's exactly the same.

People expect all the benefits of a lifelong neighbor on move-in without building the relationship.

If you want it to be enforced, post it. You can have notes on the sign that people can ask permission. They then contact you.

If you're just doing rules, I'm no lawyer, but opening yourself up to potential lawsuits if they injure themselves.

So I'll assume you just live in a trailer if you think only trailer trash wears those. I'm sure you might find some self-confidence to not be worried about what other people's opinions are

What's that? Not wear a comfortable piece of footwear that has multiple uses and you can easily slide in and off?

It's fine if not confident enough to wear clothes without the fear of judgement from others.

Worrying about what other people think of your shoes and clothes generally goes away when grow up.

That's the main reason they exist. The wearers don't give a fuck about what they look like.

Almost? This is not horseshoes or hand grenades.

Cause they're good, work, and are cheap. Give ur balls a tug

Can't be that bad out, haven't put them in 4WD yet.

Stud

So they recorded the calls, but you didn't? If you have the files, post the files.

This seems a bit off.

That dude is 10-ply

Is that the title of your autobiography?

Why are you bullying this Dog owner?

People using animals as emotion support slaves need to seek actual help.

Using the word psychotic would be pretty spot on if saying they aren't in touch with reality, which is what they are doing. It fits that definition pretty well. Or likely, the most likely in fact, it is hyperbole, which a normal person would read it as.

Could go deeper if wanted and call it an attachment disorder. Which would bring it back to a mental disorder, not psychotic, but a form of a mental illness.

Dude, way to edit your comment, change what it actually said, and not mark how it was changed.

Was there some reflecting on how shitty the comment was after I copy/pasted it in a reply to it?

You just highlighted the complete lack of anything in your life if this is what you have time to reply to. I pity your sorry life that you want to police how people interact or talk about their complaints. Carry on sad little person.

As someone adding to the dog spam, growing up with dogs, but not currently owning one, I completely agree with you. They are dogs, just a pet, nothing more. If someone wants a kid or baby, either make one, foster, or adopt one. There are plenty of kids out there looking for a home and adopting would be better for society as a whole than another doggo.

But really, of the owner isn't a dick and doesn't impact others, feel free to have dogs too.

So you work 'with' stock brokers? But you're not a stock broker, so easier to say you know other people successful with money, but you aren't yourself?

So they took the money they had and knew how to reallocate their investments into more money? Not something the average person is doing now is it? So you're saying they did their job....to make more money? Fascinating!

Continue to make generalized statements about doing solar and having it solve all your problems or getting a cell phone for $20 a month......ya ok....it's me out of touch. Who knew forecasting about actual realities and how life is still expensive after retiring is a crazy idea? Maybe people shouldn't save money for the years when they can't really work! Have you heard about the grasshopper and the ant?

Aww yes, the retirement to dream of.

Don't do anything. Don't do house upkeep, repairs, or replace old equipment.

Especially don't have hobbies. Just sit in your home and die.

People who budget, have enough income, and are saving for retirement. A lot of estimates say 15-20% savings.

Not even close to the same level of development then compared to now.

Let's just look at Vermont. What cities does the interstate run through or are they outside cities?

So want to smack a train station in Burlington...point anywhere on a map where a station could be build and then where any lines could run.

In the hypothetical, they said it was reality.

Government is there to not make a profit, but to break even or take a slight loss. I don't see how the train system is anything but a major loss or how it's even possible with private property. How much imminent domain will have to be claimed for this to occur?

You're shitting on them for speaking reality to your comment, when you said your comment was reality and not fantasy?

So they spoke reality to what you said was reality. They didn't respond with fantasy to what was a supposed reality comment. I'm not sure where the disconnect is.

Woah woah woah, why can't I bet it all on the Pats winning the Super Bowl and then have the state bail me out? That sounds like I can't lose!

Oh, don't get me wrong, if betting came to VT, I'd probably throw some money into it every now and then. I also buy a powerball ticket with it's a billion dollars, but with a bet, I also don't expect to see that money. It's just petty cash that if win/lose, it doesn't matter.

The issue I see with betting is the people who will keep it in business, the same asottery tickets. The, "I just haven't caught the break yet" folks.

I'd like to see sports betting in VT, but I also see it as something that isn't "good".
