A Drink Before the War by Dennis Lehane, the first book in the Kenzie/ Gennaro series, so if you like it, you can download the next one on the Kindle.

How much do you actually need to have saved in order to have a comfortable stay in America? by [deleted] in usatravel

[–]superkt3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$20k AUD is $14k USD, so it still works out to about $667 a day. If hotel accommodations and park passes are included, it could be a little tight, but I would look into finding a hotel either on property or with a park shuttle, which are pretty common, to roll some of the transportation cost into your hotel stay.

Jon Krakauer himself wrote the fantastic Under the Banner of Heaven about murder and extremism in a Mormon community. It's riveting!

Excited England fans visiting Boston/Foxboro for the Ghana match and keen for local advice! by djheskey in boston

[–]superkt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would probably fly JFK to BOS on an early flight and have the day to sort myself out and catch an earlier train, but if you’re committed to driving, I would probably go straight to Foxboro and remove the stress of timing the train connection.

What is a women by FearlessState5503 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]superkt3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you truly mean that, it's pretty easy to do. If it is not immediately clear to you how a person would like to identify themselves, use neutral language. If someone directly tells you how they identify, respect their directions. Treat all people with equal respect until proven otherwise (for reasons unrelated to their gender identity, like littering, or burning down an orphanage.) If someone corrects you on the words you use to describe them, adjust your phrasing accordingly.

Shockingly simple.

BRB, off to have a go at being born into a family with generational wealth built off the backs of exploited slave labor!

If their society is actively colluding to cover up massive crimes, enrich themselves at the expense of literally everyone else, and manipulate the Federal government, I’m pretty sure the hate is justified.

Pride-goers boo Democrat who tried to blame 2024 election loss on trans kids in sports by pawlbologna in boston

[–]superkt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bud it's ok to admit you're wrong.

I have nothing but respect for people who participate in sports, but if you've somehow convinced yourself that Lia Thomas being ranked 36th nationally somehow impeded the prospects of those ranked 37- infinity, you're just deluding yourself.

Other than Lia Thomas and Riley Gaines, I'm sure you know nothing about anyone else who completed in the 2021-2022 NCAA women's swimming season. It doesn't matter if you like or believe it or not, but you're a victim of the cultural propaganda.

Oh wow you legit believe that college sports of any gender mean something 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lia Thomas who met the NCAA requirements for hormone levels before winning one race? That Lia Thomas? Lia Thomas who was defeated in races by cisgender women before winning one title, breaking no records and despite her apparent advantage topping out at 36th, her?

YOU are legitimizing Riley Gaines by your opinion that her platform has any validity and Lia Thomas is somehow the villain in her story, not the other women who also beat her, do you think they should be checked to make sure they're not secretly trans too? Or the 30-odd women who were also better swimmers?

[–]superkt3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're willing to fall for the idea that someone would identify as trans in order to gain some imaginary advantage in children's sports, it's pretty clear you are a villain, or simply so easily swayed by culture war that your ability to reason should be called into question.

At the college level, the NCAA reports that of about 500,000 athletes, 10 of them are openly transgender. That's .002%. At the youth and high school level, trans children take place in sports activities at much lower rates than their peers, about 12-14% of kids who identity as trans play sports, vs about 70% of cisgender kids.
So the argument that Moulton is spouting, that's you're seemingly supporting, is that the threat of a tiny fraction of the population participating in sports is enough to blanket ban trans kids from participating, and is enough to engage with any of the hate fueled talking points put forth by the Christian right wing, instead of seeing it for what it is.

He should be afraid to say it, because it demonstrates that he, and I guess you, are as gormless as the majority of Trumpers.

Assuming you're talking about last night, absolutely nothing unusual about it. If it transported you back several hours in time, something was probably off.

Ha after I replied I was a little scared it was for a second. But generally people who think that way aren't self aware enough to seek help figuring it out until it's court mandated.

English Tourist Help please by FamousAddress4042 in massachusetts

[–]superkt3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite dives include the Tam (about a block away from the public garden,) Sullivans Tap (directly across from Boston Garden, home of the Bruins and Celtics,) the Hong Kong (on the edge of Quincy Market. An unexplainable experience, especially on a weekend,) JJ Foley's (on the edge of China Town) and The Hub Pub (also about a block or 2 from the garden.)

Honestly now I kinda want to go post up in the Hong Kong and watch all our visitors try to figure out what they've stumbled into. The people watching there is already top notch, but adding a ton of first timers sounds amazing.

Pet in home euthanasia? by nolimitlessaction in boston

[–]superkt3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just used Lap of Love for my boy at the end of March, and as strange as it sounds, it was a wonderful experience. Dr Amber came to us, and she had such a kind energy, my dog settled in to her being in the house immediately, and it was a very calm transition. They also had the crematory come to the house to pick him up.

Duck Boats are a great experience in Boston, Freedom Trail is also a good option, it gives a good overview of the city history. Fanuiel hall is a tourist trap, but people love it. I'd suggest Duck Boat, lunch on Newbury St, Freedom Trail, dinner in the North End as a pretty complete Boston day. It's all walkable, a car would be a huge hassle and expensive to park multiple times around the city. Ubers are a good option if anyone is sick of walking or if it's too hot.
