I'm on the moderate/centrist left. I love to see both sides, and debate. I will change my mind if I see enough evidence to convince me to. I'm a 100% gay male.
@TrollyP71@mike61400 The three winters in Providence before last winter, all had less than 20 inches of snow. It would be weird to see that again, but I guess you never know.
I rent, my sister owns. I pay $1400 a month. She pays $1800 for her mortgage. During the 10 years she's owned it, she had to pay 10,000 to get rid of mice, 12,000 for a new furnace, 6,000 for a new oil tank, and 12,000 for a new roof. She still has to get new windows, but she's been putting it off. She's had to buy new toilets, a snowblower, Air conditioners. She has to do all the work, like mowing, snow blowing, etc, or hire people to do it.
In the meantime, I've had none of that. Just my rent. And I don't have to do all the upkeep.
Sure, if she decided to sell, she could get all that money back. But then she has to buy a new place, and nothing is less than what she could sell her house for.
@BaconOverlord@MartinPons12@davenewworld_2 I'm not a leftist. Make of that what you will, if centrist doesn't work for you. I'm on the right side of the democrat line. Not the left side.
@BaconOverlord@MartinPons12@davenewworld_2 And he is a fucking white guy from south Africa. JUST the country Trump wants white people from. He should be getting a medal in your world, not deported. I thought it was only brown people you hated.
@BaconOverlord@MartinPons12@davenewworld_2 He was brought here by his parents. Why should he have to suffer? Not to mention making him leave his parents. You are a horrible person to want that. And why the fuck did he get a work permit? Jesus H fucking christ I am so done with you awful, cruel fuckheads.
I live in Providence, RI. I hear you about snow. I have always enjoyed it. Although after last winters one, two punch, I did get a bit tired of shoveling. But it was awesome to get 38 inches in one storm. The most I've ever measured in one season was 142 inches in Russell, MA during the winter of 1995-96. But I missed the winter of 2014-15, as I was living in NJ. We got the storms there, but they were only 3-6 inches at a pop, not the 15 to 20 as up here.
Where do you get that leftists are all abusers and rapists? My God, that is do not true. I'm so freaking tired of all this us against them crap. 1/2 the people in the country are not rapists. For God's sake, why can't people find done common cause, dome common humanity. Why does everyone always have to be on a team, and then hate the other teams?
Ugh.
@chipgoines@astuyve I thought for sure they were going to link the stations during the big dig. I mean, they were already digging tunnels, right? It was already going over budget, might as well do all we can while we are working anyway.
@AlbertMeranda@astuyve I live in Providence, RI. I would love to take the train to ME without have to get off in South Station, figure out how to get to North Station, and then take another train. Or commuter rail. I'd like to go from Providence to Salem or Gloucester.
@the_transit_guy How in the world these stations weren't linked in the first place is beyond me. I should be able to get on a train in Providence and travel to Portland, ME in the same train.
@TransGirl I will never understand denying reality and facts. Republicans do it all the time. Make up their own facts. Weird that trans people are like they are. An unlikely alliance.
@WestbyHeart@its_alyssia_ Wow, that's awesome! In my case, the landlord lives upstairs from me, and I hear him walking around, watching TV. When I don't hear him at all and his car is still here, I'll start worrying. I have his sister's number in case.
@obundt@vittsar@COWLIE333 Just replying to the comment. I want to make sure people reading understand the difference between gender identity and biological sex.
