It affects a small number of People but a larger portion of Income earned in the state because even in fair Massachusetts the gap between the rich and the poor is huge and growing.

When it’s raining do you use an umbrella? Or because a couple drops are going to get on your shoes regardless do you also not cover your head?

La Victoria in Belmont is good. But out of the way.

I don't think I have ever seen a man do this.

Niceholes are mostly female suburban drivers in front of you who suddenly stop to let someone pull out when there is light traffic, even though this process takes longer than just letting the person attempting to pull out wait for a few cars to pass by. These niceholes feel good about themselves because they stopped the cars behind them to let the driver pull out.

Long Johns (eclairs) are the original Fleshlight, also invented here.

BU Bridge rotary be like

Except we do.

I don’t think they’re being nice they just have no idea how it’s supposed to work. Americans don’t have to actually learn to drive to pass a test, what do you expect?

Thank you. It just outs people who have zero regard for neighborhoods, and are just sellouts to developers who don't care about it either. We can see how many people support developers who come into neighborhoods to make their millions.

People have rights to decide how their area is developed. Many more are starting to speak up against over building.

There is no need to turn Boston/MA into a large city/cities. Supporters are destroying the area in some delusional thinking that more building will bring prices down.

Canada generally followed the US recommendations, but yes it was ridiculous.

I believe the US was one of the only Western countries to recommend a mask for children under 5. If my memory is correct, it might have been as high as 12 for most of the EU.

If you look at who's actually being hospitalized/dying of COVID, masking in school doesn't make sense.

The fiance? Not your wife to whom you gave a lame video game for Xmas?

> i never said that i am against building housing, just that a blanket “build” policy is not conducive to building neighborhoods and communities. the seaport is a perfect example of building soulless neighborhoods.

Nearly all of Boston was built out under a blanket build policy. Ever notice how cities in the Northeast suddenly had housing shortages and stopped growing right after they instituted zoning laws? What if zoning laws were implemented in 1890 instead and Boston was stuck at half its current size but at twice the price? What if everything south of Melnea Cass was single-family housing only instead of the neighborhood you know now? Would that have been better? And if it wouldn’t be, how do you know that where your neighborhood is now is the best it could be? Why wasn’t it better when it was only farms?

Also, the Seaport was centrally planned by the city under community-directed zoning. Boston prioritized jobs back then because it was still largely working class in the 90’s. Seaport is intentionally a second downtown. That’s what was voted for.

Only siths deal in absolutes.

I'm talking about probability. You're talking about binary outcomes.

Masks are effective in reducing infection. Even before covid you might have noticed their use in sanitary or sterile environments.

There's nothing wrong in wanting to reduce risk.

This is an optional undertaking for students. Stop making this into something it's not.

I recently moved here from the Midwest to live near family and frankly I love the driving culture here.

I laugh so hard trying to figure out where to turn. I am frequently lost but I love how some people will wave me on a left turn, let me in to traffic, allow me to budge into the lane I need, etc. I love the rotaries too. They seem like a way better idea than 4 way traffic light most of the time. People seem patient with me while I screw up. Usually a friendly wave seems to cover a lot of sins.

In the Midwest if you need to make a left - fuck you, you're just gonna sit until traffic is clear and traffic behind you will stack up for however long it takes.

My mom went around a rotary a couple of times unable to get to her exit. The fourth time around she pulled over in the middle and let the RMV guy finish her drivers exam.

> There is NOTHING wrong with having neighborhoods where people can feel like they can walk, ride bikes, is safe for children, with some outdoor yard space and places to park.

Density and people don’t make neighborhoods dangerous, cars make them dangerous. Even the densest parts of NYC were perfectly safe to do all those things in 1900. Who knew that crisscrossing the human environment with fast-moving heavy machinery would be so dangerous? Especially for children.

Yes, they worked SO WELL during covid that people just stopped getting covid.

/s

We had several waves of covid during the mask mandate era and it doesn't really appear to be any different from the waves we're seeing post mask mandate era.

Yeah, but reduces his chances of getting a respiratory illness, and if others wear it, further reduces that probability.

Masks are effective ways to reduce the spread of aerial diseases.

I learned this because I lived through a pandemic.

Whichever one cuts in line in front of six other cars to make an illegal turn.
