Reply to comment by NaggeringU in Transit experts say new MBTA general manager will 'fail' without more resources by ToadScoper
The people making sacrifices in your comments are the ones that depend on the T, not the MBTA. The idea of taking a failing service that many depend on and increasing pricing while reducing availability and access will result in reduced ridership and quality fo experience.
> Anything else is delusional.
I don't know how to tell you how unhinged you come across. There are other public transportation systems that have been resurrected through improved management and government intervention... why do you think the T can't be helped without hurting everyone that depends on it?

Reply to comment by Sure-Bullfrog-8362 in Any reason for a Bostonian to go to the North End? by theurbanmapper
Dino's is great for no nonsense service (it's counter ordering) and excellent food. My wife used to live in the North End and she introduced me to it, otherwise it's a place that would go unnoticed.

I would like a transit economist to estimate in some way the costs to the state economy of the MBTA's current woes (the low speeds and reduced service). Surprised I haven't heard of a newspaper trying to figure that out.

Bostonians are a special kind of asshole when it comes to infrastructure

I hesitate to say high risk as I don't yet have any medical assessment but my age and a few pre-existing conditions may pose issues in this pregnancy. I might value better care over convenience but am trying to gauge the level of inconvenience I suppose

We live in Natick and it would fit your criteria. We just sold our townhome last year and bought a single family under a million here in a great neighborhood.

Latinx just tells you that the person never took a foreign language course.

Congrats! During your 2nd semester, you'll still see your OB every 4 weeks. At the beginning of your 3rd trimester, it'll be every 2.5-3 weeks. During the last month, you'll see your OB every week. You'll see your OB at 4 weeks postpartum and then 6 weeks after the initial visit. FYI - you will be sleep deprived after birth so you may want to take that into consideration. Good luck!

I’m sorry this is totally irrelevant and doesn’t answer the question, but if I’m not mistaken Holden is west of Boston outside of Worcester? Did you mean Holbrook?

Your post states that a “tattoo artist is a worker, not a capitalist”. Seems to be a broad generalization that isn’t necessarily true.

The white people who use Latinx are the same types who think the janitorial staff at their office buidlings actually appreciate when they poorly speak Spanish at them. 😅

I live in a white wealthy suburb (not Newton, but think of Newton) and all my fellow whites say Latinx. The only Latinx guy I know well calls himself Latino but told me he doesn’t correct people.
“It’s just like…whatever man.”

Thanks for this... I'm looking to set up a laser tag double session, bumper/go karts, and bowling. How long did the laser tag session last?

It's not shitting on a language, it's creating a way for our trans and non-binary friends have a way to express themselves.
We have plenty of staff here who go by Latinx and plenty who stick with Latina and Latino. I refer to them by their preferred descriptor same as I do their preferred pronouns.
The push for us to adopt Latinx came from that community, not us white teachers.

I’ve been to Apex on a company outing a few years back! The laser tag was pretty basic but fun! Plenty of ramps and hiding spots.
The arcade was decent, not as big as Jillian’s or anything but they had a bunch of newer games. Not much in the way of classic stuff like pinball if that’s more your jam.
We also did an escape room at the time which was fun but looking at their website it seems they may have nixed that option
