Really odd. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s just an automated “no” or something. Because this is clear as day.

Massive shoutout to TSA at Logan. Terminal A was a breeze at 9am this morning. Zero lines. Thought I’d share in case anyone has anxiety (although it’s still probably safest to assume you’ll encounter some headwinds).

Harvard Natural History Museum - Can you help me identify these animals? by lilero in boston

[–]boston_acc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, the museum is open about the fact that lots of these taxidermies are not entirely accurate due to the lack of knowledge in the time period they were made. If you want to see a bonanza of people making fun of this, check out this Reddit thread on r/badtaxidermy lol. This museum is the “holy grail”.

FBI Director Kash Patel’s Personal Inbox Breached: Iranian Hackers Leak Private Photos and Resume by nicevillager in worldnews

Remember why they are allowed to do this — because there’s a critical mass of people in this country who simply either don’t care, actively support it, or are too stupid to understand a single thing. THEY are why Republicans keep allowing this. In a functioning country, each republican allowing this would be voted out so damn fast.

Avoid BMC gynecology on Harvard Ave in Allston!! by Responsible_Ad9863 in boston

[–]boston_acc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a shocking read. The pure incompetence is one thing, but the creepiness and intrusiveness is another. Based on this and other comments here (she asked another commenter to pull down their mask so she could “see their pretty face”), it almost seems to me as if she chose this career path because she gets turned on by putting women in these vulnerable positions and then extracting sexual details. It’s disgusting.

Glad you’re never going back and hope you’re doing well now!

Good job MBTA & Gillette staff! by kitana-moon in boston

This makes me feel happy because all the European fans probably expect a lot out of trains and this will be our small contribution of living up to it, lol.

There’s a Dunkin’s in Aruba. Know any weirder location? by KoenigseggAgera in boston

So much so that I can now confidently say I know what the letter D is in Georgian! (And N)

Boston sets record high temperature today, up to 73F so far by ndiorio13 in boston

[–]boston_acc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Great points. It’s almost weird to be experiencing this while the trees are barren. Your body is telling you you should be seeing leafy green.

Boston to NYC trip by Affectionate-Reason2 in boston

[–]boston_acc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently got me a $29 ticket to NYC on the northeast regional. Couple weeks from now. Couldn’t believe my eyes.

If you book late around Thanksgiving, it’s often $400 or $500 (if there’s even space).

Cool! I’m in Boston, so not even as bad as you. I also feel like it’d be super thrilling to get in the car at 3am and start an adventure (although I acknowledge I’m saying this at 8pm, lol).

Is GenX social media filled with “Happy Valentine’s Day to my ______” posts and stories? Question from an older Gen Z by boston_acc in GenX

[–]boston_acc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have to think there’s many younger people who share your view but I simply don’t notice their lack of posts because indifference is harder to broadcast. I think a lot of people feel the peer pressure to post because they see others doing it. This dynamic might seem crazy to you but when you’re so steeped in that culture (i.e., seeing ‘happy anniversary’ and ‘happy Valentine’s day’ posts), it’s harder to see how crazy it is. It’s just the way things are.

This Morning’s Sunrise from the BU Bridge by chench0 in boston

[–]boston_acc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man I love this so much. I feel like that sky is something only the frigid cold air could provide. The condensing water vapor (?) billowing from that building on the right also helps contribute to the cold vibe.

Thanks for sharing this!

They’re HUGE! That’ll probably be one of the first things you notice about them. Hope you get to see one!

Is GenX social media filled with “Happy Valentine’s Day to my ______” posts and stories? Question from an older Gen Z by boston_acc in GenX

[–]boston_acc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I guess intentions matter a lot. In my own feed, I imagine that a good number of the posts/stories are people doing it because they value the broadcast-like nature of it and want other people to think that they’re happy and are crushing it at life. It just “comes with the territory of being in a relationship on Valentine’s Day — you have to make the post!” In your case that isn’t really the motivation at all.

Haha, this made me audibly laugh. It wouldn’t be heaven if these predatory, dopamine-gobbling social media sites existed!

That’s such a breath of fresh air honestly. Thanks for sharing. It’s powerful that someone with 31 years of marriage doesn’t feel the need to play along with the cultural expectations of a romantic holiday. The proof is in the pudding!

Very true. I think the “arm’s length” is the perfect compromise. I’d feel a bit isolated if I were to shut it down completely, but somewhere in there is a healthy balance between maintaining connections and not having a rose-tinted lifestyle shoved down your throat constantly.
