I'm not going to fucking argue with you, dude.

Yes, the term Latinx means jack shit to a lot of Spanish speakers. There's also plenty of young Spanish speakers who prefer Latinx to latino/latina. You are welcome to disagree with them, but you don't have the right to tell them it's 'not a real word.' That's not how fucking words work.

I'm sure this'll do well but as big a Weezer fan as I am I'm not sure they've got 'instantly sell out a venue' levels of popularity in 2023. Love to be proven wrong though since it's pretty rare a band that I was into in 1999 is still popular now that I'm old.

To the sidenote...I doubt the Palladium does, I've been to like 40+ concerts there in my lifetime and never felt like that.

Off the Rails is one of the most claustrophobic buildings I've ever been in though. It feels like it's barely ten feet across in places. Even if they weren't packing people in over capacity I can see that building feeling like a can of sardines.

> But she says "Anglo," so it's pretty clear they weren't Latinx.

Which if true completely transforms what you're saying and is a valid point but it's literally nowhere in your original post. You can't not include relevant details and then be shocked when people call you out because your post makes it look like you think being simultaneously white and Latino is impossible.

But it isn't true, she doesn't say her birth parents are 'Anglo,' she says her adopted family was. She identifies them as 'Anglo' when the question's first asked at around 9:50 and then again when she details the ethnicity of her birth parents she says she was 'raised by an Anglo family.'

Never does she refer to her birth parents as Anglo. She says at one point that her mother is part English, but that's about it.

Off the top of my head Koopman Lumber in Grafton and Morse Lumber in Southbridge. I'm not a woodworker so I don't really know how they stack up against other options but my Father and Grandfather both were and that's who they used.

>maybe you should look in the mirror here and do some reflection as to why your gut instinct when a trans person is asking for stylist recs why you feel the need to turn it into a political discussion

Every time this person posts it devolves into a desperate attempt to prove how much smarter they are than everyone else. Leftists, feminists, people who got the COVID vaccine, their electric company...it's honestly kind of fascinating. I've never seen someone JAQ themselves off this hard.

I'll be honest, I do not believe they're trolling, I've seen their post history...they're just like this.

Reply to comment by A_Man_Who_Writes in 5 and Diner by 508wortown

I mean, it's a big shopping plaza that has, historically, not been kind to anything but chain restaurants. On top of that the building would have to be extensively renovated or torn down by anyone who's interested because pretty much the only restaurant you could put in that spot as-is would be another 50s themed diner. Most people looking to open a restaurant don't have that kind of scratch, so it was either shitty chain or vacant building, not a lot of room in between.

>No, even at places with live music don’t charge covers

Serious question, if you don't expect to pay a cover charge for live music or entertainment, what do you think a cover charge is? Considering 'a charge added to the amount that a customer pays for food and drink in a restaurant or nightclub to pay for service or entertainment' is literally the definition of a cover charge.

>I’ve only been in Worcester for a few months so if it’s a city thing cool

This is a 'most of the United States' thing.

Bay State Brewery is a solid option. I curl at the ice center so I've been there almost weekly for a couple years now, I've only gotten the food a few times but I've honestly always been surprised at the fact that it's actually pretty good. Service is great, the people are nice, too.

For a bonus, there are a few arcade games in the lobby, as well as board games, so you could definitely play some Cruisin' World (or whatever its more modern equivalent is called) to kill some time.

Because it's not a live music event? It's not Ralph's fault this fuckin' dude thought there'd be live music at an event that wasn't advertised as featuring live music! He could have looked at the flyer and seen if there were bands on it, he could have checked the website, checked the Facebook event page, he could have, y'know, asked the doorman before he paid his cover...
