"She told me she doesn't have any free time and every day after work and throughout the weekend she drives her kids to activities. She has 3 kids and her oldest who is 7 does THIRTEEN activities every week. Swimming, rhythmic gymnastic, piano, violin, tennis, painting, and a few others I don't rememb"
"Redditor phenotype; a fat, bald, and bearded soyjak in probably his late 30s (mayyybe early 40s). It was a 5:30 am flight and he consumed content for its entire duration."
"My dad brought up an interesting point last night in a drunken phone call to me. He said that him and my mother wouldn't have gotten divorced if they simply went bowling together more often. Now, he's from boston and I took this as the ramblings of a dude who was upset about his divorce"

"Growing up, all of the media I saw about Boston always portrayed it as this tough blue collar town with a hard edge but after moving here a few years ago, nothing could be further from the truth. Almost everywhere feels like end-stage gentrification. 1BR apartments go for a minimum of $2,50 anywhere"

"In Boston it's notoriously stale and probably more androgynous and granola-core than others (I guess it tends to be more like this as you move northward) & a prominent staple is just throwing a fleece eddie bauer/LL bean vest over whatever else you were wearing."
"Any socially valuable research being done there can literally be done just as well at Florida State and the researchers will ultimately be happier not having to deal with the bullshit that is driving in Boston in the winter."

It comes across as very articulate and quite pleasant to hear. Whether it's media depictions or even in person, a lot of the prominen"
"east coast metropolises need to be knocked down a few pegs. there isn't much to do in the vicinity of boston, NYC, philly. the adirondacks are a decent escape from NYC but they're 4 hours away."
"Now she supports herself entirely through a Patreon where I think she makes like $10k a month from heavily tattooed 40-year-old single women, and she is broke because of her divorce so she just moved back home at 50 with her and Neil Gaiman's son to live with her parents in a rich suburb of Boston."
"Brady a smiling trophy-raising symbol of conservative old money WASPy imperialist privilege and the rigged system, the prettyboy statuesque godhead ubermensch mason of Boston sports (America's 'most racist' city and a symbol of our Colonial American Forefathers)"
"DJ Crazy Times and Biljana Electronica perform "Planet of the Bass" at the Jonas Brothers concert in Boston."
