I live in the Elm Park area right below WPI and love it, everything is within walking distance. Haven't made a grocery list in years because there's a supermarket a couple blocks away.

Not in and of itself, but if the way you go about that is haranguing strangers on the internet because they enjoyed a video game, yeah, that is a bit weird.

People are so fucking weird about that game.

If you're unable to take the time off from your job for a trial, you can straight up say that to the judge when they're selecting jury members and they'll thank you for the time you've spent and send you on your way.

I served on a civil jury for a trial over whether a man was financially liable because his son-in-law had climbed up onto his roof without his knowledge to fix something, then fell off while climbing down. Settling this matter took five days, but I live down the street from the courthouse so it was basically paid time off from work.

The good news is, about half of the people who graduated from Worcester colleges in the past ten years seem to have opened a brewery, so there is an absolutely amazing variety of locally produced craft brews available.

This is like saying you're concerned about the automobile's impact on the trolley bus. Telecommuting has an impact on the amount of people entering downtown, but it isn't the root cause. Downtown is a pain in the ass. Parking is always difficult. If you're looking to open a business, services in downtown like banking are existent but poor.

Compare that to the biomed corridor running down Route 9. You're off the highway and pulling right into work. It's not telecommuting that's killing downtown, it's that downtown is an inconvenient place to do anything.

The quarry part of Green Hill Park is largely unused and has some amazing views of the city, and is also an excellent place to go to be offered a blow job.

It typically means that they'll check every fourth car, or check only cars with registrations that expire in July (any plate ending in a 7), or some other system that specifically isn't "grab that guy, and then grab that guy, annnnnnnd that guy looks like he's worth talking to".

Downtown is a difficult place to do..... well, I was about to say business, but anything. Downtown is a difficult place to do anything. Downtown just sucks.

I mean, relative term, I never arrived there sober.

Anyone who went to Shh Booms back in the day knows cougars have inhabited Worcester for a long time now.

Pastrami is amazing. Corned beef is very good, matzo ball soup is excellent. Haven't tried anything else on the menu because I'm not sure why anyone would go to a NY Style deli to pick up a turkey sandwich.

When I was a kid, I went out walking in the woods behind my house after a big snowstorm and say a little bird, trapped in the snow, so I scooped out a hole for him.

So I guess I killed that bird.

It's me using your own language to mock you. The downvotes- and this is just speculation on my behalf- are because you're being very obviously disingenuous with your arguments.

The use of certain code words- such as "NPC"- amongst an "in" group, used to determine in spaces outside of the group who is and isn't members, and to discredit those who are not part of the "in" group. An "NPC" doesn't have real feelings or opinions, and so their thoughts can be disregarded or even mocked. Of course, your particular dialogue is inspired and witty, even if you're copying it off of the things you've heard elsewhere.

As much as you think you're trying to be witty with this tired "NPC" shit, you're just repeating the terms someone else came up to say words. Like an NPC.

r slash conspiracy would be a good example of one.

Oooooh, NPC! That's a creative insult that I have not seen repeatedly made on certain echo chamber subreddits. Did you come up with it yourself?

Two types of drivers, "that's a big vehicle, I will give it room" and "that's a big vehicle, it's slow so I can cut in front."

Worcester: A convenient place for New Englanders to arrange their sales goods for shipping to Boston and Providence since 1848!

Well, there was ShBooms, but that's a courthouse now. Still weird that I've served jury duty twenty feet above where I puked across three urinals.

And then there was the Sahara, which had a good dancing vibe if you particularly enjoyed getting your ass grabbed by women of Middle Eastern descent in their late 40's-50's.

Not really so much now.

For the love of all things holy, when you pull out from whatever side street you're on to turn onto Belmont St.- LOOK. The stretch of Belmont from the police station to Green Hill Park is full of eye-raising vehicular dumbassery.

It was like the last thing Jillian's was good for before they closed. Well, that and a great place to score coke.

OP can't figure out if he wants to attack higher education or taxes on the very wealthy, so he jammed the two concepts together.

Which guys? One team definitely took the L here and there's even a guy who lost a shoe.

I honestly thought "peeing" was a typo for "fleeing", and it is not.
