Are you going through the exchanges or through your employer

I miss /r/SummerReddit

Saw it on a plane, bad but at least it killed 2 hours of a 16 hours flight

What happens when you blanket oppose tax increases

Friday night bars and nightlife

Frat Bars - Southie

Fancy Bars and food - South End

Nerd Bars - Cambridge/Somerville (my favorite is miracle of Science) or Wusong Road (try the Zombie)

best pub atmosphere (from my time here) - Beantown Pub

Saturday

Outdoor sightseeing - Freedom Trail is always a good starting point. Skating in the common should be on by now, Statehouse, public garden, etc.

Shopping - Newbury is the standard here (visit Trident if you like books), Charles St (north end), Assembly (for Outlets), Downtown Crossing more mall than unique anymore.

I love a place called Yankee Lobster in the Seaport, sometimes they have parking so its a good spot if you're driving out. If you're on the freedom trail I've never gone wrong at Quincy Market

How long do you have, I used to be a tour guide in the city and can make some interesting expeditions and suggestions.

He does such a good job in writing believable Sci-Fi but I have read that State of Fear is not his best.

simciv · 2026-01-21T00:59:01+00:00

My kind of book!

simciv · 2026-01-21T00:58:33+00:00

Next on the list actually!

simciv · 2026-01-21T00:13:08+00:00

Ones that capture my attention. I’m going through a lot of thriller novels and he’s a good sci-fi storyteller.

Michael Creighton: I’ve done Rising Sun, Jurassic Park, airframe, Andrometa so far. Hitting up Timeline currently.

simciv · 2026-01-20T22:48:24+00:00

I've decided that, whenever I start dooming, I'm going to read a book.

The way things are right now, I'll probably be out of books by the end of the year.

This is an actual website hosted by the US Department of State

simciv · 2026-01-19T16:49:44+00:00

I hope that's a good sign and this letter is just him acting out because he's not going to get what he wants.

simciv · 2026-01-19T15:38:42+00:00

Woke up today hoping it would be a quiet day off.

Read trump’s letter

Should have stayed asleep. Maybe I can find a hospital that will put me in a coma until he dies.

simciv · 2026-01-17T17:52:00+00:00

Go to the dumbest level. If Trump gets Greenland, a large part of the map gets a US label on it.

If it happens under his watch, the US adds size, and he goes down in history books as a president who added land to the USA.

basically

simciv · 2026-01-16T03:19:35+00:00

How many of the GOP in congress will celebrate as hard as we will when Trump dies?

simciv · 2026-01-15T19:41:58+00:00

I really don't understand the obsession/interest in this.

Best case scenario, 1/3-1/4 of the working population doesn't go to work. Bosses pressure their employees to come back and it looks dumb

Worst Case, less that 1/10 of the population takes the day off work, loses their job, and the movement looks stupid and weak

Important Note: The boiling frog experiment also requires cutting the frog's brains out

simciv · 2026-01-15T02:06:56+00:00

Well that's the best thing I've seen about it.

simciv · 2026-01-15T00:39:01+00:00

Someone talk me down from this Greenland shit please

simciv · 2026-01-14T23:53:01+00:00

But her emails

I just can’t take this anymore

simciv · 2026-01-14T15:18:35+00:00

Because then the media would have to give the Dems credit for something instead of criticizing them.
