Hmmm... perhaps. Didn't even check until now.
The version I read and liked was translated by Michael Glenny and published in paperback in the early 70s.
Another version I have (picked up at a library booksale because the Glenny is deteriorating and old) is from 1989 and translated by H.T. Willetts. It is longer as it has additional narrative written/added after AS had been expelled from Russia, dealing more with revolutionary activities before the war. I don't vouch for this version as I haven't read it.

Never read Gulag Archipelago but highly recommend August 1914.

Totally incorrect. Respectable normal people will judge you adversely for it. Outside of the south, it's usage invariably correlates with dumber/less professional/less responsible people.
Oh and I noticed you even skipped 'do' in your headline. Even more pathetic.

You are right. An upside down globe would still be a perfectly accurate representation of the world.
I wouldn't mind having an upside down globe. I mean I could turn mine upside down but then all the letters would be upside down.

Y'all is acceptable, and even charming, in the south. In New England it is moronic.

This is a CT sub. Can we at least try to keep the 'y'all's out of the headlines? We aren't in Alabama or Tennessee. "You guys" is a region appropriate term.
And by the way you guys, the answer is Colony Grill.

A lot of fast food places hire despite a criminal background, based on a sibling's experience.

Reply to Has anyone moved out of CT because of seasonal depression? I enjoy CT but I’m only happy during June- august. by [deleted]
Of all the problems someone might think we have in CT, the weather is the least of them. We usually get 4 seasons, and they extremes aren't as bad as other states. Not as hot as the south or midwest, not as cold as midwest or upstate new york, etc.
Tame winters like this one actually makes me want to move north a bit. Spring is more exhilerating when you've been getting your ass kicked by winter.

Yeah, that's my point. Build your own utility, your taxes go up to pay for that... but your utility bills go down. Basically a wash over the long term on a present value basis. Municipally owned power isn't a panacea.

How long has Wallingford owned their utility. If they bought it in 1930 then it wouldn't be reflected in tax rates today. The maintenance and expenses would be presumably covered by utility bills.
The problem is if you take another town and suggest they embark on their own 'municipal power' program, then they would need to either build their own utility. The cost of which they would have to fund via taxes or via surcharges on utility bills going forward. Not apparent that such a situation would be cheaper for residents over the long run.

People were and will do that. It's why we were in long term decline. Covid gave us a reprieve but it will continue.
Florida and Texas and South Dakota are growing faster than us for a reason. It's not the weather.

My in laws are in a low tax state. Any fees they pay are a tiny fraction of the incremental taxes we pay here. They are astonished at the taxes we pay here and don't have incremental fees that come close to making up the difference.

This sub loves other people being taxed.

Or, more likely, anti-semitism hasn't gone up since the 1980s, but the ADL has an interest in portraying it as having gone up, and people like you want it to go up so you can virtue signal and pretend that you are better than others.

Can you point to a hard fact that saying ADL is a liberal propaganda machine is "anti-semitic"?
No, you can't. Therefore your definition is arbitrary.

According to your definition, saying ADL is a liberal propaganda machine is anti-semitic, but calling Israel an apartheid state isn't. I don't know what to tell you. Your definitions are arbitrary and biased, and your views regarding the topic should be irrelevant to any reasonable person.

No, because sadly the linked article only gives a number and the ADL hasn't provided a detailed list of all incidents by year so readers could understand the context and validity of their claim.
However, specifically by nutmegganarchist's standards, there have been at least 2 more anti-semitic incidents in this very thread.

This post is an example of why there have been an 'increase in anti-semitic' incidents.
When you expand the definition of 'antisemitic' to criticism of ADL, then yeah anti-semitic incidents are going up. I also question the ADLs motivations and also the validity of their statistics. I guess that's yet another anti-semitic incident to add to the tally.

Reply to Dispensaries that don’t take all of your info/make you buy online first? by Historical-Bat-3559
I can't remember for sure but I think the last couple times I went in Mass they just scan your id and put your order into a database. It's to prevent you from exceeding the daily limit by going to the next dispensary over and loading up again.
At least I think that's what they did..was a while ago.
