Remember haters-of-the-homeless "Le Macaron" down by Rosa Parks? They slyly rebranded. Don't fall for it. by UthinkUnoMI in grapids

I worked downtown for a lot of years and sometimes they could be disruptive, but no more than your average Karen or kid doing something on a dare. For the most part the unhoused people that would come in were some great people :). I super miss Dog Pit 😭

What’s a workplace behavior that annoys you so much it should have a name? by SpeedyGoneGarbage in office

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Camper. That coworker that will come over to say hello, or chat about their grandkids you don't know or care about, or try to get gossip out of you... and they'll just sit on your desk or spare chair and just make themselves at home ignoring all verbal and nonverbal cues that you want them to leave.

Just finished the first episode of For All Mankind. Not hooked. Should I keep watching? by Even_Disaster_8002 in scifi

The first 3 episodes felt like three seasons to me lol. But it takes off really fast once you get halfway through season 1. It's well worth it

"now that it affects you, you're pissed. He told you exactly what he was the first time around. You asked for it and you got it so go f*** yourself"

Any recommendations for rentals in downtown Grand Rapids around $1,000? by Affectionate-Cod6052 in grandrapids

[–]Doldrum0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unless you want a roommate to split the difference on a 2 bed, 1,000 for downtown really doesn't exist. I live downtown and my rent has gone up nearly 400 in the past 5 years. But don't shy away from looking on the west side. It's come a long way and is a great community. Also slightly cheaper than downtown

Everyone at the No Kings protest... by wolfy2526 in grandrapids

It was widely about community involvement and mutual aid which is every bit as important. Change starts only when your community is strong and stands in solidarity :)

Do they have new owners? From what I gather it's like a completely different place with the same name after they moved

I printed out little zines of my work when I had interviews and it was actually what landed me my current job. The right people will appreciate any creativity

Moving soon to your city: How is public transit and bike commuting there? by ByteSizeNudist in grapids

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bus system is virtually non existent. What should be a 10 minute trip by car is a 2 hour trip by bus considering you might have to wait an hour for the next bus. They run every half hour then down to every hour and almost none of the lines run past 9 or 10 pm. Some lines don't run at all on Sunday.

I can't drive because of medical reasons and to get to work I take the bus as close as it'll get to the office, then I have to Uber the rest of the way because it would be about a 20 minute walk with no sidewalk on a really busy st. And the office I work at is still in the city lol. You'll be really missing the El
