Gotta be a subi Impreza. You can still park but get AWD and the hatch is decent storage.

The overwhelming majority of POC who are murdered are killed by other POC. Racism may not be a major factor here.

All public lighting really, I feel blind as a bat as soon as the sun sets in this city. It makes winters a nightmare.

Reply to comment by lqdizzle in I last visited the New England Aquarium 8 years ago. Would it be worth going again? by TheTwelveYearOld
This. I went one time a few years ago and was like "Wow, only like, one outdoor area and everything else is practically inside a single big room"....
Then my company rented the place out last March as a buffet (I guess you can do this) and with my company of just 200 or so people, it felt crowded in there.

The reason this is such a fucking shitty take, and it is a very fucking shitty take, is that those communities are impoverished beyond their control. You might as well ask poor people why they don't just buy a vacation home or a yacht. It's ignorant and almost purposefully avoids addressing the real problem.

No, thank you. I like my very high standard of living, highly-educated population, and public services.

You realize that the vast majority of these murders were also committed by black people right? Overall Boston still has an extremely low murder rate per capita so how is this some kind of racist issue?

I remember the first time I was confronted with stoplights at a rotary, it was in Guadalajara, Mexico. I thought to myself that of course you had to put stoplights in there to make them fucking work, since for some reason that state just decided the person merging the rotary had the right of way and that made no fucking sense.

Because that tiny percentage of people has a huge percentage of the money. 1% of $100 is 1. 1% of 1,000,000 is 10,000.

Nothing changes much, but if you go early or late it’s a very zen experience. Watch the fish, pet some water pals. I always find it worthwhile, and the money goes to a great cause.

To be fair there are countries where the right of way changes depending on the STATE you’re in, so if they got their diver’s license elsewhere they genuinely might not know or have thought to look it up until the moment they were faced with a rotary. Mexico is one of such places, 0/10 makes road trips weird.
Also tf is up with the places where the person merging into the rotary has the right of way, it totally defeats its purpose.

A lot of libraries have discounted tickets that can be reserved which makes the experience a bit cheaper. I think I got half off ticket through mine.

Reply to comment by GM_Pax in Can you report found blue bikes? by WhaleWatchersMod
My limited experience with blue bikes is that they are heavy and are only 3 speed. They are fine for peddling around the city at low and moderate speeds, but I imagine you'd find them quite limiting if you were trying to do any serious mileage or got out anywhere where you could actually achieve higher speeds.
They are also time limited, so seeing them outside a 1hr ride from the nearest blue bike dock is a pretty good indication they have gone feral.

Chicago is also 4x the population of Boston. Still quadruple the murder rate, but not 16x.
