    One of the things that most people forget is that the t was saddled with a bunch of debt from the Big dig. This has prevented it from functioning and recovering from most of the problems of the last two decades.

    I love the idea of this but I am a little confused by the metaphor. Who are the monsters in this? What does this actually teach kids about climate change? I'm not trying to be negative here I'm just a little confused.

    I think the lottery is a tax on the poor and the uneducated. It should be banned along with other forms of gambling which just pray on human weakness.

    I once went to one of the shows when it was in Bow Market. It was such a trip, because the majority of the audience was comedians waiting to take a turn on stage. It definitely had the feel of people testing out their craft mixed with the feel of karaoke.

    Just a reminder, rapid onset gender dysphoria is a fiction invented by anti trans activists. In short, there is absolutely no evidence this is happening, all of the supposed study data comes from testimony of specifically anti-trans parents, and all of the medical treatments have been extremely conservative and hard to get by kids under the age of 18.

    I also try to upvote comments which encourages people to participate. I know it seems small, but it lets people know that they are not commenting into a void.

    Good suggestions. I originally added a quick reason why I was posting. Maybe I should go back to doing that. If we had lots of people posting, then maybe I would try to discourage low effort posts, but currently that is not a problem.
