The ocean is coming for us. Why we sunk billions and billions into developing Seaport when it’ll just be underwater in a few decades is beyond me.

I’m with you. Nothing beats winter running as long as you invest in cold gear. I trained for Chicago this summer and it was murder—even at 5:30am.

Winter running is so peaceful. Your body heats up quickly while running and you’re not sweating your ass off the entire time.

Cloth masks offer little to no extra protection. If you’re wearing an N95 you’re well protected regardless of whether or not the other party is masked.

Mandates were only meant to be used temporarily when covid was at its worst. These kids have been severely impacted by covid for 2+ years. Enough with the nonsense—let’s use common sense and free will.

You want to send your kid in a mask? Go ahead. Don’t force others to do the same because you’re still paranoid.

Get the drool checked out? Every 2-4 year old drooled on their mask. They’re toddlers.

My son had to wear a mask from 2 to 4—half his life. We were on board when covid was killing people left and right but now we have a vaccine and tools to fight it.

Not to mention, young kids aren’t supposed to wear N95s and we know cloth masks are ineffective so what are we doing?? It’s nonsensical.

Follow the science. The science says cloth masks don’t work so let the young kids be maskless and if older kids make the choice to wear N95 they are well protected regardless of it others are masked. Let these kids have free will and choose for themselves.

Children deserve to have normalcy and see smiling faces. They’ve sacrificed a lot and it’s time to give them their childhoods back. Anyone who doesn’t understand that can fuck off.

Glad I live in the burbs. My kid doesn’t need to be masked up just to drool all over it and bring home viruses anyway.

This subreddit skews young—a lot of non parents who don’t understand what it’s like to mask your young children who bring home every virus despite said mask while they’re trying to learn essential diction and social cues.

Yeah the fact that I got downvoted for telling the truth is wild. There’s a reason people flee to the burbs when their kids hit school age.

Boston Public Schools are in shambles. Check out this Globe article for details.

We lived in Southie until our son was 2 and then moved north shore in search of better school systems.

Best of luck to you.

It’s incredibly ironic you’re calling me pedantic.

Beyond that, don’t you have something better to do than get offended about a Salem news story? Not relevant to you? Don’t read it.

It’s clear by the downvotes nobody agrees with your position.

This sub talks about greater Boston. If we can only discuss Boston then I guess Cambridge and Somerville are off the table too, right?

Get over it. Anything close to the city is relevant to many people on this sub and fair game.
