Reply to I last visited the New England Aquarium 8 years ago. Would it be worth going again? by TheTwelveYearOld
I moved to the Bay Area and went to the Monterey Aquarium and mannnnnnn I really wish our New England aquarium was that nice! If you can safely have some edibles and just chill during a slower time of day it could still be worth it.

They renovated the tank a couple years ago, replaced all the windows with bigger ones etc. it was the first time the main tank had ever been drained since the aquarium opened in the 60’s. After that the sharks had a hard time adjusting but I don’t know if they ever figured out why.

I don’t know if it helps, but as far as I can tell nobody cares if you’re high at the aquarium. So, it’s ok if you can’t pass.

Yup especially if you're transferring to the Red Line which is already running at reduced capacity due to the FTA mandate.

Reply to Aquarium question for parents by every1getslaid
Echoing what everyone else has said: I would be very surprised if they gave it a second look. Tons of parents bring strollers as well in case you had some concern about that.

I do photography as a hobby and would love to do it for free (just cover the cost for prints though). I need a project to do during the winter months. If they turn out awful then you still have the money for a professional 😂😅

While I can't speak to the specific offenders in these cases, I can say that statistically murder victims of all races are overwhelmingly killed by members of their own race. So blacks tend to kill blacks, whites tend to kill whites, etc. Of course these are general trends, not hard and fast rules but I see no evidence to suggest that Boston is some sort of outlier.
From the article:
According to the FBI’s Expanded Homicide data from 2018, the most recent report of this kind Reuters was able to find ( here ), 80.7% of the murders of white people were committed by white offenders (2,677 of a total of 3,315) while 15.5% of the murders of white people were committed by Black offenders (514).
The social media post also alleges white offenders committed 2% of the murders of Black victims. According to the FBI’s data, 8% of the reported murders of Black people were committed by white offenders (234 of a total of 2,925) and 88.9% by Black offenders (2,600).
FBI data from 2017 also follows this trend: 80.2% of white victims were killed by white offenders, 8.9% of Black victims were killed by whites, 88.5% of Black victims were killed by Blacks, and 16.1% of whites were killed by Blacks ( here ).

I just went a couple of weeks ago for the first time in years. I love penguins so it’s awesome. Not much different. The giant tank of jellyfish are gone but there are some fun jellyfish on the second floor. No sharks in the big tank, so maybe they were canceled due to bad behavior or something but the giant sea turtles are still there and the seals are always fun to watch.

Because you're an idiot who doesn't understand food prep, dogs, the outside, real life, and civil discourse.
