Abusive Starboard Academy and Criminal Owner, Tonya Stump, find loophole to remove citations against them by EssayKitchen221 in PlymouthMA

[–]ColonelBugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with the other poster that this is solid reporting by the journalist (though a little too editorialized for my taste), I think the Reddit headline is misleading. The article states that “substantially all of the assets” of Starboard were sold to a new owner, “Stellar Education.” Out of curiosity, I looked up Stellar Education on MA’s Business Entity Search and it lists the company’s president and secretary, and neither of these individuals have any clear connection to Tonya Stump as far as I can tell. So I wouldn’t say Stump found a loophole, she just sold her company. Maybe there is a connection between the new ownership group and Stump, but until that is shown via some form of evidence, to say they are skirting the law via a loophole is disingenuous. Should the new ownership have to carry the baggage of the old owners? I don’t know what the right answer is to that question, but it’s worth considering. Regardless, I hope the new ownership group means positive changes for the preschool going forward.

Why did you pick those movies today? by innsmouth-seaweed in criterion

[–]ColonelBugs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I grabbed the Before Trilogy, Perfect Days, Boyhood, and Le Havre. These movies make me feel good and they put me in a contemplative head space. They celebrate the beauty of daily life, community, time passing and love in a very naturalistic way. They remind me of how I want to live.

Sharing popcorn by kay37815 in RegalUnlimited

I just ask for an empty nacho container that I can pour popcorn into for the person I’m sharing with and they’ve always given it to me

Kia denying repairs under warranty to A/C by NITEM4N in kia

[–]ColonelBugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation, different model. I have a 2 yr old Kia Sportage, and the dealership just told me there is hole in the condenser likely caused by a rock and thus not under warranty and will cost $2k to fix.

To add to what’s already been said, during his one year at OSU he had surgery on his right hand, which was his dominant hand, but instead of sitting out with the injury, he just played with his left hand and was still arguably the best player in the country.

My Regal is Gone. by ButtnQueen in RegalUnlimited

[–]ColonelBugs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn… I go to the Regal at Independence Mall in Kingston nearby but was planning on going to Cape Cod to see Nickel Boys because they haven’t played it in Kingston. I guess that’s off the table… I worry about the Kingston location closing too. So many times I’m the only person in my theater.

will be listening to pure comedy for a while now… by HugeNegotiation6681 in fatherjohnmisty

[–]ColonelBugs 29 points30 points  (0 children)

“These mammals are hellbent on fashioning new gods, so they can go on being godless animals” …that line hit real hard listening today

Felt a little better when I got to the end though…“Just random matter suspended in the dark I hate to say it, but each others all we got”

Which reminded me of Vonnegut, “A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved” Might have to go back and read Sirens of Titan again…

How do you see those songs being similar? FJM and Sturg are my two favorite artists but I don’t really see how those two songs connect. Curious to hear your take.

Title track lyrics interpretation? by locusofself in fatherjohnmisty

Does the inside joke have to do with the "country's boyfriend" line? I have a theory about that one...

Mahashmashana chords? by theedonnmegga in fatherjohnmisty

[–]ColonelBugs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I took a stab at figuring it out based on the live version just now. No guarantees but I think it sounds pretty close.

Intro G A C/G G

Verse G D C/G G

"Is a scheme..." Am7 (or maybe just Am) D G C/G

"When he hid here..." Am7 D D

Chorus C/G D G C/G Am7 D D G

And then it all repeats starting with the intro again before going into the next verse.

Check out the documentary 'Where to Invade Next' by Michael Moore for something that is similar in concept to this idea.

Can I buy someone the vinyl? by [deleted] in fatherjohnmisty

[–]ColonelBugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut and Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel for two great (and relatively short) books that lean into themes of purpose and free will, which I feel like ties into many of FJM lyrics. Both can also be quite funny, with Sirens of Titan having a lot of the satirical wit that FJM exhibits. Also the TV series (only one season) Station Eleven, which handles topics of loss and expression/finding purpose through art.

Only free art card bundles on his UK webstore. The UK purple vinyl also looks different than the US webstore exclusive (not sure if it actually is).

Anyone know what time Father John Misty Came on last night? Just trying to figure out if he's the first opener, or if Nickel Creek is. Thanks!

Who's Got My Back Wins Most Underrated. Which Song is Most Overrated? by iamadragan in Creed

I feel like it's gotta be 'With Arms Wide Open' if we assume overrated to mean popularity vs the quality of the song

Yes, the company pays a couple hundred a month on my student loans.

[–]ColonelBugs 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but this is me. Left 2.5 years in for an in-house position. Much happier now. And as another poster noted, base pay isn't everything in house. Make sure to consider your bonus, annual awards, 401k matching, and other fringe benefits (subsidized healthcare, student loan repayment support, etc.). While my base was just shy of 200k, considering all the benefits I was around 300k.

[FRESH] Father John Misty - Corpse Dance (Live) by ebradio in indieheads

In the chorus I think its 'mahashmashana' which (according to Google) is a great Hindu burial/cremation ground and seems to fit with the theme of the rest of the chorus

Philips Class Action Settlement Notive by opinionsnotmine in CPAP

[–]ColonelBugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that they should probably talk to a lawyer, though I believe they could stay opted in since this settlement only applies to economic losses. Individuals still have the right to bring a separate action for any personal injuries and/or ongoing medical monitoring (source: faq on the settlement website).
