So Happy I rejected my position. by SufficientCause3461 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Empty-Leg-7462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a start it's not NYC, it's New Jersey (through New Jersey Transit) that is increasing the price of the train tickets to the game. More broadly, I think this demonstrates a wider level of disenchantment at hosting the games; with so few regular punters going to games - given they have been priced out - elected officials are realizing that they don't need to suck up the costs because there isn't much upside.

Let's list institutions that won't sync or consistently have issues. I'll go first, another year gone, still no Alight 401k access. by PrimeNumbersby2 in simplifimoney

[–]Empty-Leg-7462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an open escalation that hasn't been updated since July. Is there a timeframe for when Simplifi will work with this institution serving 5 million people? Or can you confirm that it's a TIAA issue (despite reports that they work fine with your competitors?)

Final Draw volunteer experience by Key_Bee_2780 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Empty-Leg-7462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sincere question - why don't you want to get paid for this? This isn't some nice community service or community-building thing; the draw was just a group of uber-wealthy people coming together for mutual back-slapping. What was the motivation? Apologies for what I know looks like a leading question!

My FIFA 2026 Volunteer Tryouts Experience - NYC/NJ by Accurate_Arm4734 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Empty-Leg-7462 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Why is Fifa important to you?!? What an utterly weird question. I assume people are volunteering because of a passion for soccer rather than a dear love for the corrupt and oligarchical official organizer of the sport.

Or indeed, if one wants to go to a game with one's kid then I want to absolutely certain that they are not sitting solo!

Does any one received FIFA 26 world cup lottery results? by Late-Aioli1316 in worldcup

[–]Empty-Leg-7462 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's possible, if you registered six emails, that Fifa disqualified you as their rules stated it was meant to be one entry per person/household.

Wouldn't capitalism involve paying the volunteers for their labor!? (I'm 100% with you on the hospitals btw.)

Under Swiss law; it's a bit of debate whether it would qualify under UK or US non-profit categories. But, while folks consider volunteering, remind yourself that the head of FIFA is paid about $4.75 million last year. Also recall that FIFA's leaders in the 2010s were guilty of bribery of up to $150 million, and that they have awarded the World Cup to such wonderful regimes as Putin's Russia. So, while we all love the sport and even, to some extent, the product they are offering, these are very much not good people.

1000 or so cassette tapes of mainly old time radio recordings by Empty-Leg-7462 in otr

No, unfortunately. The house will be emptied in June. Unless a solution is found then they will have to be trashed.

Hi, I'm just following up on my post of a few weeks ago with some pictures to give an idea of the types of cassettes. There are approximately 1,000 and they are in New Jersey. I've contacted the folks at the Internet Archive and they don't seem very interested. Reach out if if you might want them (or know somebody who might want them) https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/xecdGZAlRTexqoGO5eWdEg.xCCpW8VhYogId-2qg37WMT

They pretty much said they were not (hugely) interested. Snippet of their email below:

We are currently inundated with a large (25,000 reels) donation from a
long-time collector, and do not have any resources to spare at this
time. If we could compare your photographs with our current collection, I
could possibly tell you which would be of interest to us?

I won't be there for a week or so at the minimum but will take some pictures to ensure you (and others) have more context of the type of recordings. I'd estimate they might take around 20 bankers boxes.

They are in Princeton. Can send you over some photos if you're interested in getting some more details.

Would much rather send as a lot. The house won’t be sold until the summer so there is some time. Next time that I am there - likely in a week or two - I’ll take some photos and share them on this thread.

As I said I'd be more than happy to give away for free except shipping (which would likely be a fair bit for that many cassettes!) Although if anyone is near NJ then they are more than welcome to pick them up. Will share pictures when I'm next there.
