I would say you are projecting your fears onto her, at least as of the time I posted my comment and based on the reply to me. Even if it did, it doesn’t change my response because she is asking about going to bars alone. It is what it is. To go to bars alone, someone has to be willing to actually go to them alone. Let them write their story. We don’t need to do it for them. We also don’t need to assume they aren’t capable or are afraid of those things as a main factor. Boston is very safe and literally every activity in life has some statistical probability of something happening. The likelihood of those things happening are still very low on any given day. It’s up to them to set parameters for how they do activities and what their limits and concerns are.

I’m a woman who goes to bars alone saying it but I think it’s much worse to tell or imply women should be afraid and not participate in society to the degree a man or someone else would. In the grand context of things, Boston is incredibly safe and I standby my comment. It does people no good to make them think they shouldn’t or can’t go to spaces alone. What if they have no one to go with? Are they not supposed to participate in life? They pay taxes and presumably live, work, or go to school here. They are entitled to participate in society to the degree they would like. She is asking about going to bars alone, so she should if she wants to.

Go alone wherever you want. Part of that is a self limitation based on comfort. Almost any bar is just fine to go alone regardless of audience. Don’t let places intimidate you or make you feel weird going alone.

I’ve literally seen it look the same for like months now. Maybe it’s even been a year.

I mean if it wasn’t them, I guarantee you another agency would have went and got them or had jurisdiction. They wouldn’t have been like welp, I guess he outsmarted us. I’d rather gut them, use the money to fund transit, and rely on local police. Another perk would be I wouldn’t have to watch the same one mad mug people going into my local station. I have yet to actually see them do anything useful personally. Just walk around. Once they were clearly looking for someone. Some are plain clothes though too so at least they have to enjoy the stink and suck with us.

New federal employees also have to contribute 4.4% if I remember correctly. It’s important to factor that in. It was a much better deal for the older employees who only have to contribute like 1%.

There is someone on the tracks on average like once a month for the last six months, maybe longer.

I just walked by Dunkin’ here in Barcelona. I’ll go by tomorrow and see how much a donut is. We can price compare. Also Lucerne is crazy expensive, even more than other areas of Switzerland. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is cheaper in Zurich for example.
