Yeah, I like it. I don’t seem to be able to make a voicemail on it, though. I think that might be more my problem than the company’s but I’m not sure.

I live in northwest York County, so not exactly the greater Portland area, but I go there often enough and never lose service.

My go-to thing is to visit downtown Portland at night, maybe do some Christmas shopping, see all the pretty lights and displays set up by the arts students… last year there was a Christmas “tree” made out of lobster traps and decorated with buoys and lights

“Your average temp in January is four degrees below freezing, while mine is one above! Practically the same climate!”

You apparently don’t understand how averages work, either. You’re hamstringing your own argument.

“I stand by my possibly life-threatening advice.”

You’re gonna call that a gross exaggeration, and that’s the problem, dude. You don’t know shit.

OP said in a previous post they were thinking Waterville.

Waterville ain’t no Jackman, but it ain’t no York either.

Don’t pay attention to the Masshole. You’re from the tropics, and taking them seriously could actually be dangerous for you. You won’t need to pay thousands of dollars, but you definitely will need to spend a few hundred.

Also, Massachusetts and Maine winters are two very different things.

If you have to ask, you need a coat. A nice one. You might see others wearing sweaters around you, but if you don’t know how you’ll handle winter, then there’s almost no way your body will be conditioned enough to the cold to handle it in just a sweater and gloves. I have a friend from Hawaii who recently moved to Pennsylvania, and she is not handling this pre-winter cold well at all. Like she’s wearing a sweater and still chilly and fatigued sometimes in her heated house.

Also, the sweater people (I am one of them) often have to switch to a proper coat if it’s sufficiently cold or snowy enough. If the sun isn’t blazing in your face in February, it’s probably time to grab the big one. I go winter hiking, and if you’re going above 2000 ft of elevation, you’re going with at least three layers.

The good news is that our summers will probably just feel normal to you. I went to the Philippines in the summer once, and I came back home during a heat wave. It was actually a little bit hotter up here than it was there.

Raised beds are generally a good idea, not least of all because you can curate the soil more easily. Also, if you live out in the sticks, think about some sort of fence. Probably won’t be necessary in populated areas, but deer are essentially giant rats and can get bold.

Got me good

One of these days some chucklefuck on this sub is gonna admit they were one of the people who hit the Auburn Walmart pole, and they’re gonna get Reddit gold for the ensuing dunkfest.

I mean… me and the majority of my friends grew up in this state in abusive households… so it’s not like I’m in disbelief hearing this.

I’m fairly confident I saw Joe Wagner’s name under his on that ballot.

Edit: I’m wrong. He was running against Heidi Sampson, who is even worse. Which means Heidi won another term.

I apologize to everyone on behalf of her district.

Sucks. I voted for the guy he ran against. Dude was a lot like Angus King. I’d much rather have had him than this dunce.

IIII LEFT MAH HEAAAARRRRRT IN SAAARASOTAAAAAAAAA

S’nice in general. They get a lot of snow sometimes, but the climes are a bit more mild since it’s almost completely surrounded by ocean. I went to college in Halifax one year. Granted, though… that’s a coastal city. I wasn’t inland.

I think even less people know what moxie is than they do Allen’s. Most people who live outside Maine and don’t frequent their local Cracker Barrel don’t know what moxie is.

It matters because it’s generally a bad idea to put your real name on reddit

Is that your real name? And if so, why are you posting it here?

The people you voted for aren’t pro-choice. Therefore, what you personally believe does not matter. The Maine GOP’s official position this year on abortion was that it should be banned, and they directly stated in their platform statement that they believe marriage is between a man and a woman. Regardless of what you believe, the people you voted for do believe that, and you tried to put them in a position where they can act on those beliefs because your priorities lie elsewhere. You may as well just be pro-life; for the purposes of an election, the result is the same.

You’re really criticizing us for being shitty to a dude who threatened to punch a journalist? Fuck off with your sanctimonious “high road” bs. Your vote indicates you want a hand in other people’s love lives and bodily autonomy, so you don’t get to pretend we’re the real assholes.

I dunno, man. I grew up in a pretty small town, too. Not that small, but small.

Never stops frustrating me how Mainers refuse to see cruelty in their own. I was born and grew up in this state, and I grew up with plenty of people who would absolutely have done something like this. Many would have done it with their parents.

Caribou’s the second snowiest “city” in the US, after Syracuse, NY (an actual city). Doesn’t disqualify your addendum (there are less than 7500 people living in Caribou), but Maine definitely does get a lot of snow.

lmao, that’s just dumb. I spent five dollars on bulk candy and it was enough to fill two giant bowls that should more than last the night. If you’re spending that much on candy just on Halloween night, then either you’re one of the most popular Halloween houses in the whole state or you’re terrible at budgeting.

I’m staying home to give out candy, too. I’m just calling you a twatwaffle for being a dick to adults who want to have harmless fun.
