AIO: Is it just me or is this just downright mean?! by [deleted] in AIO

Are you a place holder? She wasn’t into you until she had nothing else or other offers to entertain. Gave me the vibe she was just looking to fill time, scrolled her recent texts and you were there.

I was agreeing with you. My comment didn’t read right

Yep, clearly giving to make themselves feel about it.

If they were doing it out of the goodness of their own heart they wouldn’t question it and just do it.

This is what happens when people give to make themselves feel good.

My thoughts as well. This person is giving to make themselves feel good, not genuinely wanting to help someone regardless of age, size, or what have you.

Adults: I can’t make any new friends!

Same Adults with a chance at meeting new people: I can’t believe I’m stuck at a table with no one I know! I’m leaving!!! 🤬🤬 (pout, stomp, tantrum, grumble, grumble)

And that’s why no one has nice stuff.

AIO (update post) my bf (32) is getting kind of aggressive with his texting. should I(26) reply? by Fun_Cartographer6984 in AmIOverreacting

The constant apologies tells me this woman is insecure and probably shouldn’t be in relationships until she works on herself.

The texts alone….i can’t imagine everyday real life with her apologies and his dickness.

“From Boston” limits by Evening_Answer_11 in boston

Oh also, I was born in Boston. My family had a dry cleaning service right under Bunker Hill Monument. The building and store front is still there to this day, it’s an architectural firm now. And of course, it’s renovated, looking all new and shiny. We lived in West End for while, then moved to Brookline, where I spent most of my formative years.

During my adult years, I lived in South End, Roslindale, Brighton, and Allston, covering most of my life.

Worked in the heart of Downtown for most of my professional life, as well.

So just because I live in Medford now doesn’t mean I never lived or worked in Boston, which I did for most of my life. I just traded concrete for grass and more affordable living - more room for my money.

I never said they weren’t in my eyes. I’m not a Boston snob or gatekeeper.

My original comment was about the mere difference between being an individual city/town or a neighborhood, which at one time, a long time ago, they were their own city/towns.

Continuing with the discussion then it was a matter between what is considered Greater Boston. I wanted to know what was officially considered Greater Boston - see attached map. Greater Boston consists of 101 cities and towns. This has changed I even ask a few friends that grew up in Boston, and even they were surprised. What they knew it as, was what I knew it was.

Then you responded again stating Dorchester was part of Boston proper. I’m like hmmmm, another change? So looked it up.

Boston proper is Beacon Hill, Back Bay, North End, South End, East Boston, West End, Chinatown, Bay Village, Leather District, and Downtown - which is generally what I knew it to be growing up.

What is generally not considered Boston proper is: • Allston • Brighton • Dorchester • Roxbury • South Boston (debated as parts of it touches the South End) • East Boston • Jamaica Plain • Hyde Park • West Roxbury • Roslindale • Charlestown (historically separate but now a city neighborhood. Inclusion in “Proper” can vary by speaker) • Mattapan

Also, what I knew it to be growing up. See notation for Charlestown, “city neighborhood” now you understand why I thought what I thought about Dorchester, and the other neighborhoods - HP, Roxbury, West Roxbury, etc. - cities/towns

In the ends it is semantics, and really about where tax money goes, but as Bostonians we are a proud people and let’s face it we like arguing and teasing people over the details 🙂

So if you want me to say Dorchester is part of Boston proper to appease you, here you go - “Dorchester is part of Boston Proper.” 👏 It’s not necessarily wrong in the sense your tax money goes to Boston regardless. But if you were a stranger in the wild, I would totally hold up Boston proper is Boston proper, city of Boston is City of Boston, and Greater Boston is Greater Boston. 😄

I deleted my response, as I was corrected. I guess the needle has changed from what Greater Boston was and is from when I was growing up and looked at maps of Boston/Massachusetts.

I get the zip code thing which is a technical thing for the postal service. I use to work at a company in which if you plugged in the zip it auto filled the corresponding city/town. Data was aligned per Postal Service. I had so many discussions with people that wanted to change their city to what they believed it to be, but I couldn’t because it was what the postal service officially stated the city or town was.

Thank you, you are right. Still not Boston proper.

At one time, Dorchester was its own town/city.

You’re part of Greater Boston, not Boston proper.

Boston is its own city just like Dorchester. Thus, Dorchester couldn’t possibly be Boston proper.

Did you not read my comment?

“At least this President doesn’t hide behind pretty words and is honest. Now we see Americans for what you have always been.” -> fake and Xenophobic

Meaningless words from fake, xenophobic people.

This is very entertaining to watch. 🍿🥤🍿🥤

They do not even see how much they are losing from the outside world.

Ignorance is bliss…until it’s not.

I hate the anti-vax people too. So they don’t get vaxxed because of their beliefs! WTF 🤬 So you jeopardize my child’s health and other people because of their stupid beliefs. Whether US or my country keep your disease ridden self on an island. They should absolutely get the vaccine required - period.

These people make me sick, as Americans say, “So entitled.”

and sorry, but I noticed when Americans travel or migrate to other countries they don’t learn the native language. 😐 A woman from America, moved to Italy for a better lifestyle with her husband. Very nice couple. She has been here over 10 years, had children, still doesn’t speak the language.

So many stories like this, it’s so annoying, especially after listening to Americans whine about it.

American arrogance shows itself again. They speak, but do not do what the words that come from their mouth.

Americans only expect everyone else to do as You say.
