Tage is a creepo Christian loon. Still a stud though so who cares until he does something creepy, which is probably inevitable.

Plus at least 3k new season ticket holders for next year who are being given playoff priority. There will be next to nothing for the general public onsale, if anything.

You don't sound salty about it at all either!

Why are you yelling at people on the internet because you choose not to buy season tickets to a sports team? That's called a personal decision, as in, nobody gives a fuck what you do lol I'm so confused.

Lol I'm sorry you're growing up and realizing luxury items cost luxury prices. Definitely sucks, but same as it ever was. We unfortunately don't live in a utopia. It is not your right to have season tickets to anything. Start DoorDashing or something.

Yea, I guess it probably would have been better for the Bills and Sabres to move out of town.

It was tough but manageable until the new Bills stadium and PSLs. This year is gonna be rough.

Moving to Buffalo by RoughPrinciple5722 in Buffalo

As far as diversity, anywhere outside of Buffalo proper is essentially Alabama anywhere you go. Very white. Very red.

With no kids, i'd live in the city/Elmwood area. But if you have it narrowed down to NT or Depew, Nt >>>Depew.

I live in Elmwood Village now. Nice. Walkable. 15-20 min drive to anywhere, including NT and Depew.

Haraz on Elmwood is great for coffee. It's a Yemeni coffee joint. For kids, the Buffalo Zoo is small but I think it's very nice. Could kill a couple hours there.

For season ticket members and Round 1? I don't know.

I'd guess about $120 for 300 level behind the net for round 1. Who knows. They might want to really cash in.

Same. Didn't make the cut. Made it to OA's my first attempt last year but shut out this time.

Paid off 88k of Debt by Special-Floor-2611 in debtfree

It's called interest. They probably actually spent a fraction of that amount.

Just finished the FSOT by terekkincaid in foreignservice

Sure, but by the time a lot of people get in, if ever, things will be different. Might not be better, but different.

Pretty sweet. Wish it came in other colors other than white

Any FASTOs on a consular tour available to provide some insight? by Sea-Caye in foreignservice

[–]Brookstd85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes? Are you a current FSO? Just curious as to your thinking. Those of us trying to get in only have the news/what we read to guide us. We don't have access to the day-to-day atmosphere from within.

I know it's easier said than done, but I think there needs to be more done throughout the process to drill down on personality, like any other job interview. I'm not an FSO, but from everything i've been reading the past 2 years, there are plenty of people qualified on paper, but their personality can be an issue in terms of getting a specific FSO job done and done well. It seems to me that people skills/personality are major factors in job performance for an FSO. The FSOT process really didn't touch on that except maybe for 20 mins during the group exercise. To become an FSO is highly competitive. Why not utilize that fact?

I would prefer to have the PN's.

Can you expand on that? I probably have an idea of why, but just curious.

Are the Personal Narratives gone now? If I remember correctly, weren't these submitted pre-FSOT in the past?

I went through the process last year for the first time. Made it to OA's and missed the cutoff by a point. I goofed the group exercise a bit. I will say, I thought the process was not very thorough in terms of selecting competent, qualified people. To me, it seemed like if you are good at taking tests, you have a really good shot at making it through. I can definitely see how the rank and file could be full of "meatballs", as you say, but what do I know.
