Bless your family. Those sour cream and onion chips are on another level.

I'm in my 30s and I'm still in therapy over things that I experienced at LRMS. Maybe things are different now, but if I had kids I personally wouldn't wanna risk it by sending them there.

I actually just went to Dunkin for the first time in months today. I used to spend so much money on coffee, but since the pandemic I've almost exclusively made it at home.

> I've also found that karaoke, trivia, live music, etc does not necessarily mean a big town. I currently live in a 2k population town about 40m outside Denver, and they have their own rotation of karaoke nights & live music that are moistly sufficient for me

The Denver metro area has a population almost double the entire state of Maine. Obviously smaller towns are going to have more amenities there because there are more people in the surrounding areas.

Someone who uses your internet connection clearly does. Those ads don't come out of nowhere. I just disabled my adblocker and the ads I'm getting on their articles are for the Salvation Army and some shoe company. I'm certainly not getting adult ads.

More than likely, that's how things like this have worked in the past.

> The $450 checks for single-filing Mainers making less than $100,000 a year and $900 checks for those filing jointly making less than $200,000 a year will start to be distributed in mid-January.

I've been Midjourney crazy lately, so I asked it what stereotypical Mainers look like: https://i.imgur.com/hAtBuoM.png

When it's 1994 again.

I'm a sucker for the honey barbecue chicken supermelt - one of my favorite crappy restaurant sandwiches.

The keto guys are gonna love this.

Maybe you don't get newspapers often but newspapers in general are smaller. I used to work for a small newspaper in Maine. When I first started working there in 2008 it was summertime and the paper in total was 5 sections and more than 60 pages.

I left that job about 5 years later, also in the summer, and we were down to 2 sections and under 20 pages.

Newpapers don't have the money to be as big as they used to. They rely on advertisers, but not many companies are running ads anymore.

Welcome to 2022. Its been this way for a while.

I mean my idea of "fun" is just sitting at home watching Netflix and eating an entire pizza by myself. I'm guessing we have different ideas of fun though.

Also all Renys are different - Ellsworth Renys will have different stock than Portland Renys.

My high school likes to have national reunions - if they find out there are a lot of former students in a particular city they'll plan an event in that city, and there were a solid 30 people at one in Los Angeles, which surprised me. Like 8 people alone from my graduating class of less than 300 students.

uBlock doesn't work on mobile last I checked. I can't fall asleep unless I autoplay videos of a nice Chinese lady talking about tea on a loop all night on my phone, so I need Youtube premium.

You're not very familiar with our beaches, are you?

I don't have kids so I don't know, but how much more often are they happening? I graduated from high school in 2004 and we had bomb threats probably once every other month throughout my high school years.

I lived in New York for a few years. I started a new job, and on my first day I was talking to someone in the break room and I mentioned I was from Maine. She said, "oh, my son-in-law is from Maine! Maybe you know him!" I said, "yeah, it's a small state but we don't all know everyone, haha."

Then she said his name, and I said "wait...does he have a brother named David?" She said yes, that's his younger brother's name.

I went to the same high school as them - I graduated with his younger brother.

I'm keeping the MILF Mobile in my thoughts and prayers. The "TITSOUT" license plate has brought joy to so many.

Do you think LLBean controls the inner workings of UPS? They give their orders to UPS and then it's no longer in their hands.

Live free or die? A bit aggressive there. Don't tell me how to live my life, New Hampshire.
