Reply to Just an average Brit looking for advice on a solo holiday in Boston. by Ieatflowers68

Harvard and its museums might interest you. Harvard Square is pleasant as well as a walk down Commonwealth Ave towards the common (lots of brownstones). Louisburg Square in Beacon Hill is not to be missed. Great architecture all through Beacon Hill. Also Marblehead for its historic homes and quaint atmosphere in the harbor.

Reply to comment by BackItUpWithLinks in Newton North High's student mentorship program latest target of national group by TouchDownBurrito

Why isn't that a valid argument? Couldn't basically the same exact program exist without making membership expressly based on race? It could invite participants that are immigrants or first-generation children of immigrants. It could invite participants that come from families having an income below a certain threshold. It could do both in combination. Or, I think it would even be more targeted to open the program to people that are descendants those that were historically oppressed or disadvantaged by a ruling majority in the U.S. I think there are many ways to accomplish essentially the same goal without setting membership criteria based solely on race.

Are they doing the labor? Do they manage the place? That’s not a capitalist. A capitalist is someone who uses wealth to invest for the sake of profit and profit alone. Please show me an artist building a tattoo shop for profit and nothing else. Workers who support capitalist ideals are not capitalists, they’re just workers living under capitalism. Lot of y’all need to retake some basic Econ and government courses.

It would be worth exploring Umass Medical in Worcester. Like many of the Boston hospitals, it’s a teaching hospital, UMass Chen is an excellent medical school, it has a stellar NICU and there are excellent doctors there.

Reply to It says every 10-14 mins, but I’ve been here 20+ mins. My morning commute is like 30 mins longer…what a bunch of bullshit. Can’t wait til this issue is a thing of the past. by Juancho511

This might soon be a thing of the past. The MBTA got a new GM who promised to take the public transit to work everyday - which means that he will have the motivation to fix it. Apparently, he did good work for MTA (NYC) and LIRR (Long Island) as well. Also, a top executive recently got fired. He was working from Hawaii and was never in Boston.

I can’t imagine a tattoo artist not wanting to do an “anti-capitalist” design. So it basically comes across like “do you know any shops that will tattoo my wife’s name on my arm”? Pretty much any shop
