PRC seemed to somehow ignore the oblitrization/commercialization of the square. Not unlike Faneuil Hall, which became all "Mall Stores" before Malls became extinct.

Used to have small independent shops and restaurants and was a draw even though it was impossible to park...

Now it's barely worth visiting.

MA is liberal nirvana, but it's also expensive. Strange riff on people being "nice not friendly" but most are fairly well educated (public schools are generally good) and progressive.

Still problems with racism, discrimination, and crime but trying to get better.

New progressive gov and Boston mayor are shaking things up (for the good).

Nice town, Donna's Donuts, Waffle Place, Bowling Alley (and new treehouse place) are all draws. Rt 38 is a depressing drag but has a lot of stuff on it.

I think they closed the airport that went over the arcade?

The punchline is, if you need solid results, you can't generally risk the newer frameworks as you end-up debugging and/or not trusting the results (so you validate on other stacks....).

It's sort of close to a meritocracy + most people aren't using the capabilities of the existing stuff...

I think this is a trope now - there is a real push for reform and while I believe the system needs an overhaul, I do believe that progress is being made and new recruits are not "constantly looking the other way"...

Said anther way, if you don't see change then you are not fucking paying attention. A lot of this change is forced (body cameras) but is it making a change? Yes...

While I don't mind people throwing around ACAB - if you really believe it is more than a slogan than you too are part of the problem...

EDIT: If you actually, literally think ACAB than you're a <28 year old male or carry some type of deep trauma that blinds you to the good side of people (and basic logic).

ACAB is just a slogan, if you take it seriously you're both damaged and part of the problem. Domestic violence, gang violence, missing and exploited children are all stuff they have to deal with and if think that cops that work those cases are "bastards" than you lack most of the skills you critique cops for...

Ooof, so an electrician, who knows wiring and code, is more of an expert than someone who actually got a degree in EE? Sort of like a nurse is smarter than a doctor?

Who do you think wrote the code and designed the parts?

Who do you think designed the power grid?

Did you even think about this?

Perhaps demonstrating that you don't now what an EE does while claiming to not trust folks "outside their realms of expertise" is not the flex you think it is?
