Howdy from Boston

Super-nerd and polisci major here. Absolutely love this stuff and looking forward to getting my hands dirty with you guys. Also hoping to learn a lot--I'm a little stunted from the Cambridge, MA bubble and I'm looking forward to some fresh perspectives

Have fun. I wish I were back in Boston- I finished my PhD at BU and am now in Maine. I don't think we have many people from the greater Boston area actually on the forum right now as regulars. (At least if so, I haven't met them.)

Just a warning: the signal to noise ratio here is not always amazing.

Welcome to the Board.

I'm a transplanted Texan stuck in liberal loon Bean Town for the last 10 years.

Cambridge is a zoo. ......

Welcome. I'm also from Massachusetts, southeastern MA. I love old Cambridge. I worked there for a while a few years back.

Brought home a ricotta pie and a half dozen sfogliatelle from Modern pastry on Hanover street.......

Any time anyone wants to be convinced of every outrageous stereotype about liberals, they need only spend a day in Cambridge watching and listening.

I've met plenty of nice people from Cambridge. I tend to not discuss politics with people in RL, except for on the rare occasions.

Thank you

Any thoughts on where to go for the richest discussion?

It's an odd place, yeah

Welcome! I love Boston. Great city but ya'll have awful sports teams. lol

Oof. We take that stuff personally, y'know

Good work--you picked the correct one.

Super-nerd? Okay, cyanogen or vanilla android?

Vanilla. Not all nerds are tech-nerds!

There's definitely a lot of really nice people in Cambridge, yeah. But definitely odd.

I'll just say that it's a special place and not all liberals are nearly as odd as these Cantabridgians (that's the official name!). That's a bit like accusing all Conservatives of being like the Ozark backwaters or such. Not quite representative, I think
