This is amazing!

I'm from MA, and in 2007 I went to Vegas and visited the Hoover Dam. Shared a van with two different mid-western families. At the time they were building the new bridge by the Hoover Dam. The tour guide has mentioned that the bridge was being constructed by the same team that pioneered the Big Dig. Everyone in the van shuddered.

> You say "partially"; if you were to draw up a pie graph of "Not allowed to strike" versus "Paid absolute dogshit" what do you think the sizes of those respective sectors would be?

Ok, this kind of question is just sealioning. What I'll say is this: I don't see how you bargain with an employer who knows that you are, when all's said and done, legally obligated to come into work and do your job. The one chip you have left to play is to quit, and these jobs don't pay enough to make quitting a feasible option for most people, especially since health care is tied to employment.

Yeah, I know. I went to Boston College for undergrad and Boston University for grad school. My sister went to Northeastern and I had to take the Beacon St line from time to time. I just didn't recall any of those going out to Weston.

Lucky’s is good for piercings but tbh I wouldn’t recommend their northampton location for tattoos. If you can get on the books for their Boston location that’s a different story- I’ve seen some amazing work come out of that studio.

I know Bang Bang will be able to make a quick mock-up with their system so you’ll be able to see exactly what the tat will look like, and if you’re going to a professional studio I wouldn’t worry about the line art being shaky or blown out. Mine healed great and my friends who have also gone there have had similarly great experiences with both piercings and tattoos. Best of luck!!
