Forget underdeveloped brain, at 23 just no human being on earth has the kind of life experience and leadership experience to give them the context needed to make meaningful, properly informed decisions running something as big as a town. Even if they're prodigy smart and understand all the technicalities of the job.

Meanwhile I bet if you polled all the teachers in that school you'd find a significant chunk claiming they have to buy classroom supplies with their own money.

School systems are chronically run by idiots with their heads up their asses. My high school spent a fuckton of money remodeling the building to look like a goddamn hospital but they couldn't get the gym roof to stop leaking for 20 years before that because they would spend money on dumb shit like new playground toys because some fuckwit went to a seminar that said dumb shit about slides being classist

He works a public service job in MA. The odds they try to sweep it under the rug instead of clean up the mess is like 50%. Would be 90% if he was a cop.

To be fair Thanksgiving specifically is supposed to be a secular national holiday. I would support forcing all businesses that don't provide a critical service to be closed so their employees can actually get the day off for this one instance.

You're not. Only an absolute fucking moron would trust the police in 2022.

Just make sure you have the registration (if your friend is like 99.99999% of people he just keeps it in the glove box but just make sure he's got it out for you.

They have no reason to care who brings it in as long as it's the car on the reg.

What I've read is that she never claimed the pension and she didn't openly acknowledge it until very late in her life for fear of people jumping to the rather obvious (but in this case incorrect) conclusion.

If true (and I have no reason to think it's not other than my generally cynical skepticism) this is a shockingly wholesome story given the headline premise.

I'm not doing any such thing. Not a big fan of literacy and reading in general, are you?

It's not OP's fault nobody loves you.

Except most developed nations have perfectly adequate and usually quote good tasting water and have been for as long as single use bottled water has been a thing. This includes the overwhelming majority of the US.

I don't know the exact numbers but as someone who worked for one of these companies in the past... CocaCola is bigger in the space that they both share business in (beverages). But PepsiCo makes a ton of money from FritoLay, Quaker, and other food brands across the world.

None of these companies are even remotely the largest plastic polluters. This is some seriously selective data.

​

Fishing gear alone dwarfs all 3 of these companies combined.

Lmao dude a popular post on this sub gets like a couple hundred updoots. It's not a particularly fertile field for karma farming.

God forbid someone try to share something they think people want to see.

I wasn't aware privacy envelopes were a thing. But then again nobody at all gave a shit what was on my ballot. Dude just stood there waiting in case I had a problem getting the machine to read.

You are entitled to basically a week of sick time a year in most cases under MA law. It is not negotiable. It is absolutely illegal for them to retaliate against you for using that sick time.

However, they generally may impose reasonable notice requirements on it, (For example you can't just disappear for 3 days without calling them and then say oh yeah btw I was sick unless you were legitimately incapacitated beyond doing so).

Except that the MassDEP's own statements don't align with this. They go on and on about residential waste and specifically discuss and target mattresses.

It's an absolute dogshit ban that is looking for a problem to solve and making it worse in the process.

Most of our textile "donations" already just go towards fucking up the economies of developing countries, and donating additional lower-quality crap that people would have thrown away before will make this even worse.

Aside from that, you can just intentionally soil any product you want to discard and not be breaking the law. But I'm sure for people that doesn't occur to we'll just see more dumping of mattresses and stuff in vacant lots.

This law serves no practical purpose.

A shockingly large amount of donated clothing and textiles just go overseas to fuck up developing world economies anyway. At best we make that problem worse. At worst, illegal dumping is just going to go up and create a more acute environmental problem.

Them "doing anything about it" adds no value. Artificially low speed limits just create dangerous situations.

Setting the highway speed limit to anything lower than the 85th percentile is an absolute farce. It never accomplishes anything but giving cops an excuse to fundraise for their paramilitary toys.

There's always one of you fucking clowns, lmao.

Even if they didn't There are still far too many bootlicking sycophants who fly thin blue line flags and worship police in general. Plus all of the supposed free thinkers who don't explicitly worship cops but ignorantly repeat dumb bullshit about bad apples and believe the lie that there are loads of good cops out there trying to do the right thing at all times.

Yep, and each and every one of those pills is a potential danger that a legitimate prescription is not likely to be. Someone resorting to those channels could get anything from a properly functioning medication to one that is too potent, not potent enough, straight up missing the active ingredient, or laced (intentionally or not) with some other dangerous substance.

MA state police officers have the most amazing mix of being prolific liars and being so bad at telling convincing lies on the planet.

Revenue.

The word you're actually looking for is revenue.

Money that comes from things like royalties and usage agreements are generally not sales and certainly not gross sales.

Of course all this is an irrelevant digression from the fact that "stranger things" doesn't "gross" anything because it is streamed, universally, because a view of it generates no discrete payment or revenue of any kind. The best you can do is look at its share of viewing hours which is not "grossing" anything and estimate how much it plays a role in the overall value proposition for the average netflix subscriber.
