LOL, of course they do, if the personal property is not permitted in the dorms per the university’s residency rules.

Who is she gaslighting here? Her comment is directed at people who claimed Cosby could do no wrong.

Assuming actual hardship isn’t in play, why does anybody steal anything? They enjoy the thrill of getting away with it.

That sounds like just driving a car. What’s the point of “autopilot” again?

The work still has to get done, though, so the schedule gets moved out. The crew is on contract, if their schedule gets pushed out they have to turn down work, which could mean losing an entire season’s worth of pay on another gig.

I hate myself for persisting in reading it, thinking that at some point it would start to un-suck and there would be a payoff. I was woefully mistaken. I am angry that I wasted time on it.

Chiming in only to warn people away from reading this book which is, and I do not exaggerate here, the absolute worst book I have read in my 44 years on this planet. There is not one redeeming thing about it: the plot is derivative, the sexual politics are juvenile whiny-boy garbage, and the prose. THE PROSE.…

Every single person involved in covering up for Schneider over the last what, two decades?, should be in prison and that includes the parents who put their daughters in his path even knowing that this was going on.

This is what counts as depth for people from Massachusetts...

That is frequently the case.

She probably has to pay out the check from her day’s pay.

The pesticides that get used in “organic” farming are exactly the same composition as non-organic pesticides, with the exception of a single ingredient, the adherent that helps non-organic pesticides cling to leaves so it doesn’t wash off during the first drizzle. The (kind of hilarious) upshot of this is that organic…

I work at a farm stand during the summer and take an *immense* amount of pleasure in explaining the difference between “no-spray” and “organic” to smug hipsters.

Non-organic does not mean “no pesticide” for pete’s sake. It means that the pesticide that does get used doesn’t have an adherent in it that makes it cling to the plant.

Weird, its not like I said “median per capita annual income on the island is $53K” or something equally indicative of per capita income.

The median per capita annual income on the island is $53K. Who do you think lives there year round, and what do you think they do for work? Who is doing your laundry, or slinging burgers, or fixing the siding on your house every two weeks when it blows off from a Nor’easter? Who is supplying the scallops and bass and…

It may surprise people not from here, but there are areas of deep and unrelenting poverty in MA, especially among year-round residents of those vacation destinations. There is quite a bit more to our state than just the Berkshires, Amherst, and inside 128.

The relative wealth of Nantucket is skewed high due to multi-million-dollar summer homes owned by people who are not from there. Nantucket, MV, and the Cape natives are very much “working class”, with extremely high opioid addiction rates; this happened before the rich assholes from New York show up in the summer, my…

Imagine having Sharon Stone be mom-mad at you? That would be hell on earth. Those kids better get their shit together.
