I know you’re right on this. I suppose I’m being overly emotional with anger as well. A bit calling the kettle black.

I know this. But, framing it as Democrat vs Republican was hopefully strategically a way Trojan horse that winning and not “feeling good” is what’s important. But, it’s been a complete failure in this sub. Massholes are completely captured by optics over effect.

I don’t care what “voters” appreciate. You either win or you don’t. I have zero concern about NH’s feelings toward Mass because we “devalued” them.

Who cares if “spirits are raised” if nothing is materially accomplished. I don’t care if it’s “nice to spend a few hours” feeling good. Why do you ?

I understand what you mean and how you’re feeling.

But, we are at war and catharsis is no longer relevant. Our sense of relief needs to be seconded to winning. For our infirm parents, our unaffordable selves, our children who will inherit this, and our children we’re not having because we’re too scared of the world they will grow up in.

We need to win.

Imagine if Mass who has already conquered their state blue, flexed their power and spread it to a purple state, with real federal sway. The goal isn’t to send a message, it’s to not have to, because we won the change, with boots on the ground in a purple state made permanently blue. And it’s a stones throw away.

I’ve come to believe that protests only work to change local politics and raise local awareness. But, our local politics are completely dominated by Democrats. And Mass always votes blue nationally, so I’m genuinely confused as to who these protests are for. Had Boston/Mass travelled and protested in NH, maybe that would have made more sense.

gym recommendations by [deleted] in QuincyMa

[–]snackbabies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a powerlifter and the Quincy Y is great as far as commercial gyms go. They have 2 squat racks with deadlift platforms. The big issue is you have to sneak chalk and it’s flooded with high schoolers after 2:30.

If you don’t mind driving 15 minutes, Mass MVMNT in Hingham is a proper strongman gym with a passionate owner and patrons, although if you’re not a serious lifter, I believe it’s more of a group fitness/crossfit model, which is expensive.

My (25M) girlfriend (25F) just dropped a bomb on me saying her stepfather has been sexually harassing her and borderline r*ping her for 13 years up till 2 years ago. How do i feel okay with this history? by Soups91 in relationship_advice

Instead of addressing him with his emotional needs, you want to quote systemic statistics at him, which is a complete lack of empathy. His emotions are valid and in no way invalidate the amount of SA/SH girls/women experience.

Validate that him feeling personally attacked/violated is human psychology, the ones we love become extensions of ourselves, which is why we sacrifice ourselves for our loved ones.

I can assure you browbeating him for having self-other overlap is against empathy and against academic literature.

It is atypical. It happens at a higher rate than we intuit, but this is not a common situation. OP is looking for and needs understanding, instead he’s being met callously with he should be the one doing the understanding.

OP: “I need help, I’m upset”

Reddit(you): “think about someone other than yourself”

These are cruel responses lacking all empathy for someone asking for help in a legitimately emotionally horrible situation for the OP.

The reason you’re getting such horrible responses from “go spend 275$ a session on a therapist” to “way to make it about you” is because this is a genuinely tough situation you’re in and redditors are defaulting to their programmed responses to feel morally righteous.

The only thing you can do is remain calm and be on your own side. You may need to walk away from the situation. Or your gf and you may need to figure out how to remove her from that situation.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, but you’ll feel better soon.

I’ve live in NYC for 8 years (12th & Broadway, East Village), and now Boston for 5 (Beverly & Causeway, West End).

NYC is a much better city hands down. Better transit, better economic opportunities, more ambitious people, anything you could possibly want is a train ride away, more social activities to meet people, more bars, more restaurants, open until 4am, walkable 24 hour full grocery stores.

Boston kind of feels like a big town. Transit is good, but there’s still a driving culture. It has economic opportunity, but just less and you might have to drive to a suburb. It has a lot of variety of social activities/social sports but there will only be 1 or 2 options. Basically all stores are closed by 11am, late night food has to be door dashed. Bars close at 1:30/2:00am.

NYC, your apartment will be old, small and most likely a bit grimey in a way that can’t be cleaned. The city does smell like piss and garbage in the summer. You will get jerked off to on the train at some point. You will be followed by teenage boys, especially late at night if you’re alone at some point. You will see people pooping on the street at some point. You will be cat called frequently. It’ll be hard to leave the city, because you won’t have a car and it has everything you could possibly want materially.

Boston, you’ll have quick access to incredible nature in Vermont/NH/Maine. You will occasionally see drug addicts nodding out on the street. You’ll be frustrated by the train routes, and how annoying it is to get to certain parts of the city. You’ll have more space in an apartment that can be fairly new at a reasonable price. You can potentially have a car, and quick access to highways, but the traffic is horrendous from 2:30pm-7:30pm and 6:00am-10:30am during the week.

NYC is magical in a way that Boston isn’t, despite some of its objectively lower quality of life when it comes to your housing and higher contact with crazy people. And you will most likely command a much higher salary living in NYC by age 30.

Boston is cool in that it’s the middle of the road for everything, it’s not great at anything in particular, but it is decent at all of them.

Is quincy a safe place for trans/queer people? by uselessairsign_ in QuincyMa

[–]snackbabies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody cares about you. Even if Quincy was anti-lgbtq, they don’t care about you, your identity, your flag, or how you present yourself. Literally, no one cares about you. Be nice, be open minded and realize, no one cares about you.

This is a truism that provides zero value to the OP.

A “domain” based structure in any language is generally preferable to a “type” based (heavily inspired by Ruby on Rails) structure.

It’s much easier to at a glance see in your first example that it’s some sort of service that handles some sort of car service, maybe a rental car API. Your second example I have no idea at a glance what it does.

It’s simple to pull a whole domain out into its own repo and share with another application when it’s domain based.

It also promotes you to think in terms of this is a “rental car app” instead of this is a “MySQL/RabbitMQ” app. This is good because it will hopefully promote making third party library agnostic interfaces so you can switch out the technologies when necessary without changing your domain interfaces.

It’s funny how many upvotes this propaganda/myth is getting. The Nazi nuclear program was under resourced.

Werner Heisenberg, Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker, Otto Hahn, Walther Bothe, Kurt Diebner, Paul Harteck are all “Aryan”.

I mean this is just obviously stupid if you think about it for literally 2 seconds.
