Boston is literally one of the nicest places on this planet. There's absolutely a reason why Boston and its surrounding municipalities are comically expensive to live in, and it's because its nice as fuck here.
Yeah but it’s nice as fuck lots of places.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t like it or it isn’t nice, mind
Having been to Boston several times I thought it was cool to visit but I absolutely could not wait to leave.
East coast traffic alone gives me anxiety. Boston takes DC traffic and kind of makes it worse somehow
The one upside to this past year is that traffic has seemingly improved around the city pretty much across the board. I drove into downtown boston on Tuesday and the worst delay i had was on the north shore cause i got caught waiting for a janky drawbridge gate to come up all the way

It sucked because I couldn’t change his gender/sex from female to male.
@credeiki because I remembered we talked about this before and I didn’t know the answer at the time. Apparently we need proof that legally they changed their gender/sex. So he’s stuck with “female” on his certificate, but I told him once he has legally done it, he can try to get an updated cert and see if the service will allow him to do it for free.
I did tell him “look, I’m normally professional during these interviews, but if I may be candid for a moment, I think it’s complete bullshit I can’t just change this for you.”

Speaking of, gf really wants to go to California at some point and I told her that my condition for such a trip is that we must plan sufficiently ahead of time that we could get a table at the French Laundry
Then we looked at the prices and I argued that $350 a head is, in fact, a democratization of fine dining for the everyman because it isn't a club where you can only get in with a $15k yearly membership
DO IT!
If you don't do it now, you'd need to make a return trip, so really you are saving money.(Also the 350 probably doesn't include wine pairings, and if you are in Napa, how can you not have the wine pairings)
And this is how I justified spending a mortgage payment for a two meals+winepairings at Noma. Which was worth every penny.
I've been seeing less and less of this particular guy for years now. Like they still exist but it's not as common a demographic around Boston as it used to be.
you're kinda relentlessly shitty about boston. it's where I live and I like it.
Everyone’s relentlessly shitty about someone’s hometown here in chat.
If anybody here is from Fayetteville North Carolina I am sorry
sorry that you live there
I mean most people here shit on Cleveland then I shrug and go back to my life
I'm not sure I've heard this. Not because there's reverence for Cleveland, just it doesn't come up much and I get the impression that not a lot of people have been there and they also don't have much cultural context for what it's like.
The whole of my impression of the place is the drew carry show and that viral cleaveland tourism video which seemed like it was made by a local who was joking/frustrated with local government.

reading marvel comics from the start is like doing ancestry.com
you start going along a branch and then it's like oh well i have to fill in this other branch that joins here
and then while you're on that branch you're like oh there's this other branch
i am basically reading backwards in time
also thor #1 is thor #126 because thor #1 is actually journey through mystery #83, which is when journey through mystery starts being called journey through mystery with thor, and thor is first introduced, which runs until #125 until they just decided to start calling it thor

i like that philly has a great food scene. i've heard a chef-owner talk about how many super talented restaurant folks in nyc and boston will go to philly for their first place because it's so much cheaper and they can spend more money on recipe development, the physical space etc. lots of cool, young, creative restaurants. on the other hand- philly will probably always be soured for me because i lived in such rough neighborhoods there. just too many memories of absolute dogshit-scary places.
bad thing about boston: driving. DK is a lunatic who sounds like vee about LA sometimes in terms of the bizarre pride that yeah it's high intensity, yeah you have to pay attention but we're GOOD AT IT and hardly ever kill each other!! no way. bizarre point of view. i am very glad that i drive in a low impact area where i have tons of space and time to change lanes, get to my exit, make turns in the city, find parking etc. i'm sure this is true of nyc also but despite living there for a year i've almost never been in an automobile inside of nyc lel. i've been in cars in boston dozens of times and it almost always sucked. but as i said above i love many things about boston.
having been in nyc as a teenager i'd almost completely forgotten the smell. last time i visited nyc in the summer i was just floored by the fetid garbage stench on sidewalks and on subway platforms. unbelievably wretched. but also i loved being able to google like, cameroonian restaurant and probably find multiple results. really hard to replicate that in this country, but for maybe LA.
Being from Michigan I'm somewhat obligated to shit on Ohio when presented with an opportunity.
But really all the big cities are pretty cool. Toledo is rough in spots but Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton are all pretty nice and generally cool places.
And rural Ohio is no shittier than any other rural midwest place. They all kinda suck.

I watched the video of that Opera singer reaction that Echo (I think?) posted.
And now I'm watching her other videos, mostly her reactions to metal songs because it tickles me having an opera singer who generally hasn't listened to any metal giving her reactions and observations. She's been very excited so far.
Also an excuse for me to listen to metal which I love but never listen to anymore

I genuinely feel bad for people who have to hit their brakes when on the highway and not for turning on to an exit ramp.
The one upside to this past year is that traffic has seemingly improved around the city pretty much across the board. I drove into downtown boston on Tuesday and the worst delay i had was on the north shore cause i got caught waiting for a janky drawbridge gate to come up all the way

That was nerve wracking! But also cheaper than expected! AND TOMORROW I'M CLOSING ON A HOUSE AHH

It is true, the town is near I-95 and it does in fact contain a lot of reasonably priced hotels.
Please stay where you are, a salvo of cancellation warheads are on their way

DO IT!
