Reply to What are your thoughts on Cambridge Health Alliance? Have you had good experiences with them? by TheTwelveYearOld

i go to atrius for my PCP, but the CHA experiences ive had have been horrid.

i got my mpox vax at a cha in malden. no signage, no tents, no general reception. i had to ask the family health receptionist where to go. when i was sent a link to schedule my second appt thru ‘color’ it said i wasnt in the system, but my boyfriend was. i called medical records and they didnt help me at all. when i got my second mpox vax in cambridge, i walked in, and the receptionist immediately played 20 questions with me about why the front door to the building was unlocked, because i was supposed to ring a bell to be let in. the door was essentially in her line of sight and i was the first appointment of the day. after squaring away the door issue, she mumbled thru my whole check in process, after enunciating perfectly fine about the GOD DAMN DOOR TO THE BUILDING SHE WORKS IN.

if you are leasing a car, you probably have comprehensive insurance. it would cover repairs if its not totaled. you pay your deductible.

leased cars usually get work done at the dealership, and they would often give you a dealership loaner car. insurance may make you use a rental company if its a long repair time.

Reply to Why Are Nissans Not So Popular In Cambridge MA? by MussleGeeYem

harvard sq is v pinkys up. residents in the area would naturally gravitate towards expensive cars. nissan is absolutely popular in massachusetts. my landlord, mom, and SIL all have nissans.

more economical people would get a honda and toyota for the perceived reliability. nissan has a general consumer belief of being a cheap, beater car. you must remember, these people (camb residents) are not car people. they dont car about their car, its for them to get around.

Reply to Were you ever spanked as a child by your parents with any soft object? by [deleted]

  1. a wooden spoon is not soft; nor is a belt. these leave painful welts and bruises. use of these have been constituted as regular ol’ child abuse for a long time

  2. Cambridge is not representative of Massachusetts as a whole. your data will be skewed all sorts of ways.

  3. there is no useful info your pulling from the people voting? no age bracket, where they/their gaurdians grew up, the socioeconomic level they grew up in, etc
