We're having a /lit/ meetup in Boston this Saturday.

Email bostonliterature at gmail if you're interested & I'll give you the place & time.

>Why?

If you've been to university organizations, reading groups, or hung out in a cafe up here, you've noticed the stifling eggshell-walking culture. And also that no one reads /lit/ books.

>What?

Something in the vein of Ben Franklin's Junto, Emerson's Transcendental Club. Discussion, critique, &c.

I’ve been following the F Gardner saga since the beginning and it’s been incredibly interesting.

>/lit/ tries to dox him
>turns out Gardner is an oldfag and doesn’t care
>Gardner’s meme status continues to explode and Call of the Crocodile becomes the most famous to come out of 4chan, by a large margin

I mean look at the pics he used to spam. No one even uses the Anon mask anymore on here. The thought of all these Zoomers trying to dox some hardcore schizophrenic like Gardner is hilarious.

Kek you are not looking in the right place. R*ytheon is from here and you may as well call Or*cle an agnostic MIC company. Boston D*namics is nascent but you know where they are heading.
Its not a MIC manufacturing hub, but design and management is here.
As for Bio-tech / bio-medical there aren't many competitors around the world and only a few places can hold a candle. Those vackseens are basically from people living in greater Boston in collaboration with Germans.

What makes you say that? A big reason for the rise in the price of housing in the US and Canada is due to foreign buyers "investing" in real estate here due to the sanctity with which the governments treat property laws. Why is not knowing who buys what housing not best for all?

I live an hour outside of New York in Jersey and the same shit is happening here. When I grew up there were literally no Asians at all in my elementary school and maybe a couple Indians in high school. Now I drive around and they're fucking everywhere. The center of NJ between Philly and NYC used to be a big belt of farmlands. Developers bought it all up now you drive through there and it's nothing but townhouse filled with these disgusting curry cooking subhumans. They're more disgusting than niggers, more two-faced than Jews, more dishonest than Arabs, and smellier than Mexicans. I cannot express my complete and utter disdain for these horrible shit people in mere words. You talk to a hundred of them and you feel like you've only talked to one person because they all have the same exact values and personality and quirks. They come here and slowly degrade my home neighborhood in a way niggers never could because at least people have the defenses up around niggers.

I am being completely honest here are you guys serious with the racism. I'm fine with edgy humor but you don't actually hate black people right? I understand the fear of crime but would you actually dislike having a black person there? I wanna come but not be a nuisance.

I'm not a racist anon, I judge people by the content of their character. It just so happens that there's a substantial correlation between the quality of a person's character and the color of their skin. That's not my fault. If you're just a regular person who happens to be black then whatever. But most black people aren't.
