I like when the bus stops directly in front of you out of the line of waiting people and opens its doors. Chosen by the dragon

You're not a true Masshole if you haven't done one of the following!

Ran late to work because you were getting Dunks

Unironically refer to Dunkin Donuts as "Dunks"

Called someone an asshole for only driving 5 miles over the speed limit

Live a walking distance to the closet Dunks, Market Basket, and Cumberland Farms

Used a slur when defending a liberal policy

Get corrected on how to pronounce Worcester by someone who called it "Wor-Cester"

Got mistaken for someone from Connecticut by a New Yorker

Got mistaken as a New Yorker by someone from Connecticut

Fist fought the staff of SCP Foundation

Be employed by the SCP Foundation

Got a flat on the I-95

Hunted a Rhode Islander for sport (escaped d-class)

Have a ghost encounter inside a colonial-age building

Die a brutal death to an escaped SCP

Have your spirit haunt a colonial-age building

You can get the bus there and see all the cool animals too! (R line and red line stop there if I remember right)

Y’all I want to throw massive kudos out to the Roger Williams Park Zoo for a choice they made today: rather than joining in on a GenAI trend all the zoos are doing right now, they chose to support and spotlight an artist on their staff!

The big thing right now is these GenAI “figurine toys” of zookeepers or zoo management. And instead they shared a version drawn by one of their staff!

Go give them some love, if you’re on FB. Too many zoos are really getting into GenAI and just whitewashing the climate change / copyright issues that come with it, so I want this zoo to get as much positive feedback as we can muster for making a better choice.

I think the Massholes just roll with whoever puts stuff in the Massachusetts tag like it doesn't matter if you're a Masshole, Mainer, Rhode Islander with an inferiority complex, at least they're being inclusive to everyone who isn't from Connecticut because look we just don't like Connecticut that much

New death myth: the bus that carries you to the great beyond

[ripta-offical]

We do

I wonder if I carry rabies

Buses are very tolerant of humans and not skittish at all. Trains are much less tolerant and they get scared easily ... Trains hate when their way of life /schedule is disturbed. Even a small deviation will be very stressful for a train. While buses are used to it. They have to deal with cars every day so their tolerance is very high. Buses are like large herbivores. You can't push them over or make them do something they don't like. You may train it but they still go their own way most of the time. Very independent. While a train doesn't know what to do when it sees a plastic bag on the tracks

We are sorry 😞

the bus may cost me $6 dollars a day but at least its slow and unreliable

How dare you disrespect the bug he's the one who keeps all the busses tame without him they would be even worse

I hate buses so much. Trains are easy, reliable, straightforward. No nonsense. You can trust them. Buses are evil, deceitful creatures who delight in your suffering

I am BEGGING for an open-world game with a functioning train or tram.

Like, you actually have to wait for it in real-time, physically step on, then wait for your stop with the ability to actually explore it and chat with the other riders

No loading screens

And when you aren’t on it, you can look over and see it doing its route without you, picking up and dropping off patrons whether you’re there or not

please i need a video game that captures the joy of free public transit

I would never be mean to my friend and lover public transport but the bus does take the piss sometimes

[ripta-offical]

I love The Bus by Paul Kirchner so much
