🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love how pointing out the fuckery and hypocrisy that goes on in the bike community someone is labeled a Karen lol but thats par for the course with you people these days. Anything against EXACTLY what YOU believe is met this way but it's ok

Born and raised here and have lived here for over 30 years. How long ago did you move here? 2 years ago? 3?

It's cool though, you're not interested in reality you're only interested in "your truth"

Stay delusional, stay safe

Yeah newsflash, bicyclists don’t really get smushed when they’re running red lights - but you’re too much of a karen to know that. Fucking cringe if you aren’t a boomer, did mommy and daddy drop you off from the suburbs or are you just a stupid townie?

I’ve always seen to run and walk against traffic, never to bike against traffic.

🤣🤣🤣 youre right! nothing bad ever happens, no accidents ever happen and everything is always perfect.... 🤡🤡🤡 stay safe

Just some amateur hour to add on to the carbrain suburban idiots

Really? I grew up in a suburb and learned to run against traffic for that reason but I was taught a bicycle is a vehicle and shares the road as such.

Oh so you’re just a dumb townie?

That’s so nice of you to cry about cyclists getting hurt in accidents that don’t happen to oddly push your carbrain agenda

You lost. 😘 go cry about some bike lanes gahahahahaha

Imagine crying about that stuff, lol absolutely cringe

1. I'm so far from a fuckin boomer it's not even funny but go ahead and assume

2. "God knows" can be used as an expression you fuckin clown

3. Plenty of people care and see you asshats doing that shit all the time but please keep your biased blinders up and when you and your types get hit don't complain about car drivers

4. You people are insufferable and delusional

5. Cyclists get hurt because they think the world revolves them and rules don't apply and they can ride however they want with no consequences. Play stupid games you win stupid prizes. Car drivers aren't blameless by any means, but you are just as much at fault for how some of you choose to ride. But insert higher being here knows accountability isn't in your vocabulary

But please do keep your head up your ass and stay safe out there

I do get pretty frustrated when I see it (I don't think the anti-bike people need any ammo) but think it's somewhat forgiveable when

A. It's protected and the other direction doesn't have a bike lane

B. Crossing the road is dangerous (something like 28) and you're only on it for a short time.

I never do it personally, but I get why someone might.

A) the only time anyone does that is when it’s clear and barely anyone does it anyways, probably < 0.5% of bicyclists

B) nobody gives a shit except you

C) what is “god”? Is that your imaginary skycult figure?

D) bicyclists don’t hurt cars when the cars run them over so not much to worry about

You boomers are such fuckin losers lol. Fuckin cry

No, I mean when they ride right through a red light disregarding the traffic actively going through the intersection. Doesn't matter how safely you go through it. A red light is a red light and bikes are required by law to stop and wait for the green light like everyone else. But God knows how important they all are and can't be bothered with such things

I believe they're being sarcastic

Rules/laws don't apply to the bike community... you didn't know?

Living in or near Boston doesn't have any bearing on being admitted to MIT, or most other schools in and around Boston.

Assuming this isnt an incredible joke post: Moving to Cambridge could be the best idea in the world and it wouldn't matter, since you are a child and you cannot move without your parents' consent. Part of growing up is learning that you can only change certain things and deal with the rest. That split between "change" and "deal" is way closer to 5:95 than the 50-50 or whatever the fuck some children grow up believing. Demonstrating that awareness/maturity is critical for getting into a fancypants school like MIT or Harvard, since I hate to break it to you, but as far as technical skills might go, you're completely interchangeable with a million other kids applying for top schools. Lastly, that A- or B+ in English could sink you in applying to Harvard. Now, more than ever, application committees aren't just looking for one-dimensional caricatures of a savant. Being able to think logically and communicate that verbally is a critical skill for life that would probably benefit you more than aping at being a character from the Big Bang Theory.

Yes, I am very sorry I might be having a fight with my parents over where to live. I am trying my very best to contribute with the community by making my hometown a much better place. I wish my parents don't move to Holden. I really wish they either stay in Worcester or send me to Boston knowing that Worcester is a city, and therefore, they have more resources for people like me. I am scared Holden might not give me the opportunities to be successful with it being evident with the assistant principal of Mountview, who discouraged me from entering the technology field because of his anti-tech views.

It's great that you are so academically ambitious. I'm sure you will go far.

I think you may be too hyper-focused on geography. Students are accepted to "top" universities like Harvard and MIT from many small towns across the country, in fact, across the world. In fact, it can be a disadvantage to be "another smart kid from a Boston-area prep school" vs having your own unique story.

If you are bored in school, there are amazing and free online classes you can take - even from MIT and Harvard! Check out MITx and edX and even Coursera. Worcester has terrific colleges where perhaps you could audit or even take a class for-credit if you qualify (WPI could be a great fit!) You also might explore AANE (The Asperger/Autism Network) as a source of community and support.

And consider ways you might be able to contribute to your community. Are there issues you care about? Can you make a difference locally? The world is desperately in need of smart, motivated young people like yourself to create change. Top colleges are eager to enroll students who show initiative and leadership. You can do this in Worcester or Holden. There may be ways to enrich your life and find greater connection and balance without a geographic move. Good luck!

I am pretty sure they are

I met therapist. They are all trash. They love to trash talk about me and my son because they think I am crazy for not sending him to Boston. He dreams of coming to Boston since 2018 when he was 7, but I really hate Boston. I love a big house in countryside so nobody could bother me and no traffic and no fucking shit like this.

My son hated Holden. He wanted to stay in Worcester more, but he prefers to go to school in the city, which meant around Boston and Cambridge. However, I told him that (even though I have a 1500 sqft house in Worcester and pay 1000 a month on the house) that I could not afford to live in Boston because Boston is too expensive for me. He accused me of lying, but I am telling him the truth. Instead, I could afford a 750 thousand dollar 3000 sqft house in Holden, buy a nice BMW X4 and a Hyundai Tucson and send him to Saint Johns
Rather than us staying in Worcester and us sending him to a private school like Boston University Academy in Boston
1000+4500 = 5500 a month (if he went to private school in Boston and we sent him to my uncle and aunt's house)
4000+1000+500+1500 = 7000 a month (if we bought the house in Holden, two new cars, and sent him to Saint Johns)
I think it is better to send him to Saint Johns so that he could meet me every day so I could monitor his computer time and what he does on the internet and not let him watch YouTube videos such as Ali-A, Fornite, MrBeast, PewDiePie or tech destruction videos since I believe they are crazy and they ruin his brain.
Also, I want him to appreciate that I do the best for him.
If he betrays me and gets angry at me, I would tell him:
"When I come home, at least a dog hugs me and welcomes me with open arms. You are human, even a dog knows how to love me. You have to be smarter than a dog."
當我回到家時，至少有一隻狗擁抱了我，張開雙臂迎接我。你是人，連狗都能愛你。你必須比狗聰明。
I want to teach him some life skills and want him to stay home until he turns 18 and goes to college.

Why are you asking people on the internet this over and over? Why not speak to a professional who can help you mitigate your family tensions and teach you better ways to communicate your concerns to your son and in turn listen to his reasoning?

Instead you are telling strangers how much the towns they live in suck and exposing many details about your personal life.

I say this as a person who has been to therapy, you won’t find what you are looking for on Reddit you’ll find it in speaking with a qualified professional psychologist or LCSW.

My son has autism. I don't. My parents are normal people. I am a normal person.
