Funny enough, some of the heavier Bostonian accents you’ll ever come across are from Rhode Island and Maine

As somebody that lived in southeastern Massachusetts, which is on the border of Rhode Island, I can tell you that the accents were pretty legit. Moved from Minnesota to Mass in 1987…not only were the accents thick, but also the hairspray on the high hairdo’s of the ladies.

Yup, RI native.

Recently uncovered that sparkling water is acidic and can erode tooth enamel over time, especially if frequently consumed. Is nothing safe these days?!?

@Matt you’re not wrong with exception to CT
-
@flannel-slut yep carbonic acid. Even something so seemingly innocuous as carbonated water isn’t.
Though I don’t think it’s a substantial hazard unless one has some kind of pH balance issue.

Can I just complain about the quality of Vans these days. I‘ve been wearing them for years and specifically the authentic shoe; I love a simple canvas shoe for the summer and I‘ve had a lot of them. Now, I know vans isnt exactly a top tier shoe, but for a summer shoe it‘s fine.
In the past, I‘ve blasted through the top of the canvas with my big toe because apparently I‘m an aggressive walker, but by the time this happens I‘ve worn the sole almost out. However, last year and this year the shoe breaks where ever there is glue. It just comes apart and I don‘t even wash them. The rubber pulls away from the canvas and the side pulls away from the sole underneath. It litterally takes a few squats and and day of walking and it‘s already starting.
WTF mate.
-
@BalticBob totally with you on that one. it's either the toe breaking through canvas (leather upper seems to be holding up) or the inner sole falling apart at the heel. they only seem to last one season nowadays...
-
@tody 100%! I bought 2 pairs this summer thinking there is no way I can trash both pairs and ‚then I can just use them next summer too‘. Nope!
-
@BalticBob yeah agree vans suck now. I’ve ranted about this to no end. They’ve moved on from their “legacy” fanbase and turned to disposable shit
-
@WhiskeySandwich So, what to replace it with if you don't like chucks? Novesta looks pretty nice. Any other suggestions?
-
@BalticBob I tried chucks and they aren’t for me either. Best replacement I found so far is the Thursday sneakers.
