Reply to comment by MaddyKet in Mass. GOP in disarray: Party may have $600,000 in debts, misreported hundreds of thousands in spending, memo says - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
I live in a red(er) county too. The most 'extreme' folks mostly just have rude/obnoxious signs on their trucks and houses. I think, seeing that the whole state voted blue in the last 2 presidential elections shows that we deeply oppose everything Trump stands for, and if the whole party is going to cater to him, then they have no place here. I believe people like Baker and Romney offered a healthy balance to the state's politics, but people like them don't seems to represent Republicans anymore.

Do you have a driver's license from your country. If so you can apply for an international driver's license.

Reply to comment by Dajoey120 in Any good recommendations for therapists in the greater Boston area. 30 years old and found out i have ADHD by Dajoey120
My read of it is they're basically like independent contractors, and Thriveworks is just a service to better connect clients with therapists. My therapist and psychiatrist haven't once mentioned Thriveworks in about a year I've been seeing them (anxiety, death in the family).
I would still suggest maybe checking in with your PCP first. That's where I went to first, and my PCP gave me various recommendations for mental health. Could be they have someone they trust they could recommend to you. Good luck!!

Remember when you could just be comfortable in public without people taking pictures of you, and posting it online.

I got significant aid but UMass Boston/Amherst/Lowell/Dartmouth is around 30-32k on campus 16-18k off campus (instate). My cost is around 8-10k on campus after aid not including loans

Pretty much, although they do exist unfortunately. Some of the counties run red, I unfortunately live in one, but day to day you wouldn’t notice and the House rep is always Democrat anyways.

The city just needs to purchase and maintain buildings at below market rent.

Shorts in February is not normal and wasn't a thing until 15-20 years ago. I remember when New Englanders were stoic and pragmatic and not "ooh everyone look how impervious to winter I am" fucktards.

The school wouldn't matter, but connections were made during college and the first "real job" would define OP's life for years to come.

Thank you for your answer.
I don't know who downvote me, but I noticed any time you mention ADHD and medicine in the same sentence here, it's a hot-button topic that'll likely get you downvoted...
Anyhow, I appreciate your response. The decision to medicate weighs heavily on a parent and I appreciate you speaking about it (even in the form of a question) publicly.

A rewrite of the state sanitary code is the maintenance answer. There are updates coming already but they’d have to get more in the weeds with it

Reply to comment by Burnt_broccolini in $122M to build a new bridge for 160 Dorchester Yacht Club members!?! by LivingMemento
I guess what hasn't been explained, why does the yacht club not create the need for the drawbridge. Reading the article, it sounds like the yacht club is the only public space the bridge is connected to. Are there other properties aside from the yacht club that the bridge is connecting to?
Like if the yacht club were 'moved', and the bridge was disassembled and removed, would there be other things that are now disconnected?
Because the article does make it sound like the bridge literally leads to a yacht club and that's it. Like a small island with one property on it or something.
