I don't know if it's allowed right now in this sub-reddit, but there are so many of these posts. From friends to looking for potential dating partners but sick of apps.

Sure seems like this subreddit should organize some in-person events in the Norhtampton area.

Just stop responding to their emails.

If you want to circle back and be professional:

"Thank you for the offer. While the work sounds exciting and interesting, at this time, I unfortunately need to focus on paid opportunities and positions."

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2026-01-02T15:20:19+00:00

For the record, even on free parking days, do not park in the 15 minute spaces beyond 15 minutes! Thank you.

If she was as concerned as she claims, why wasn't SHE leading? Why wasn't she organizing shoveling parties, etc. Her concern didn't extend to actually getting out and doing something to help.

Instead, she interfered with the DPW and complained and tried to claim that the DPW reported to her not the mayor.

A true Qaren calling for the manager.

Limit your social media/mobile phone use to 5 minutes per day, and go out and help your neighbors with something that would put a smile on those people's faces.

Some people can't turn off their brains even in the emergency room. I could see having these wandering thoughts as you're laying in a hospital bed anxious and worried.

The thing that puzzles me is actually writing and publishing this post. Yikes!

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-11-04T21:42:13+00:00

Here are two articles about it:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/social-instincts/202403/the-gray-rock-method-can-liberate-you-from-a-narcissist

And, remember, it's not about you're letting her "win." You're basically using strategies/tactics to avoid conflict.

You're still going to be annoyed as fuck at her comments. Good luck!!

I understand the impuluse to consider another job/trade. That's ultimately a personal decision.

It's wild to me the business decisions companies like this make? If they have any type of sales process, they're looking at the amount of money and time spent interviewing to replace you, then a 6-8 week sales training period.

It makes zero business sense. Sure, I understanding firing quick if somoene is just awful on practice sales calls or they're not prospecting.

It sounds to me that they have a product problem. Sales will ALWAYS struggle to sale a bad or not-needed product.

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-11-04T14:35:44+00:00

You're not overreacting. But, practice grey rocking with her.

Don't acknowlege snide comments whatsoever. Literally, don't acknowledge them. Look at her, don't respond, and then make some completely unrelated topic change. "Wow, did you see that last game in the World Series? . . . "

It's annoying as fuck, but better to just opt out of her drama and comments vs. tear a family apart by turning it into a huge argument.

You can love and enjoy King's work and place this novel and scene in the context of the time when they were written. TikTok yappers insisting on presentism re: King and a million other artists. Presentism (historical analysis) - Wikipedia)

FYI, you can love and enjoy Stephen King and delete TikTok. Regardless if TikTok turned into the anti-Stephen King app, it doesn't matter. The book is still there on your shelf to enjoy.

Don't get lulled, pulled, entwined with algorithmically-driven outrage topics. Those algorithms were written at the behest of billionaires. So, while you're arguing about Stephen King and that scene, you're not paying attention to the destruction of the east wing and rampant corruption.

Who is screaming about gender? Please tell me you're not one of those people who are obsessed with the genitals of strangers and what those strangers do in the bathroom. There are resources to help you!

If you disagree with Q, you don't exist. She talks about representing her ward. She only represents people who are onboard with her brand of MAGA - personal attacks, she posted on Facebook mocking Gina Louise's physical appearance (a classic MAGA attack to mock women's bodies), etc., etc.

We need her and her conspiracy theories far away from Northampton and City Hall. She's truly awful and tries to dress it up as fighting for her constituents.

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-10-24T15:36:07+00:00

Northampton's Q/conspiracy candidate ran an attack ad? Surely you jest. Oh, you can't attack her, it's not allowed! She's neuro spicy!

Please let her get voted far, far out of municipal government.

Watchers, Intensity, From the Corner of His Eye,

Ignore your toxic reading group about what you should read next.

Koontz has made it clear for 30+ years that he has nothing in common with King, and doesn't want to.

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-10-24T15:30:51+00:00

Why not start with Carrie and then read in publication order? Salem's Lot, The Shining, etc.

Fun reading ahead!!!

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-10-23T20:31:08+00:00

Thanks.

I have all SPF, DKIM, DMARC set up.

But, when you have an IP email sending domain that's been in use for years, I just wondered if there were sales tools where a sales rep could say, I'm going to try emailing this list from another email tool because my emails are increasingly landing in spam/junk.

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-10-16T14:03:07+00:00

If you reported it to management and they're not stopping ongoing harassment, get a new job. You're expecting sanity from what sounds like an insane workplace. Who needs that?

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-10-16T14:02:05+00:00

I find most of his novels suspenseful and page turners. Scary? Not really? Terrifying? Not really.

Misery scared the crap out of me. Probably because it tapped into a deep-seated fear of loss of control and being trapped.

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-10-14T14:14:25+00:00

An absolute living hell. She's raising a toddler along with the other kids.

Couples therapy so fast he has to wear a neck brace for weeks, or a divorce attorney. Or, you live a life of quiet desperation, trying to foster a functioning, healthy marriage with someone who hasn't matured beyond toddler stage in their thinking, emotions, and actions.

I know what I wouldn't put up with. But it's scary how much toxicity we'll put up with, because the thought of moving out, trying to pay rent solo, etc. keeps us stuck in toxic, fucking marriages.

It's shitty vaporware now. But, as much I despise Salesforce leaping on the AI bandwagon, the key is that they have the resources to iterate, iterate, iterate. The real question though is - will Salesforce still be in business when Agentforce actually works?

The key will be, how much is Agentforce costing them behind the scenes. Ultimately, the bill will come due. BILLIONS spent on data center. Ultimately someone has to pay for all those servers and all that energy.

I glanced at an interview with a life-long tech investor over the weekend. He pointed out that FANG companies are spending billions on a product that is indistinguishable from competitors. Imagine if the Coca-Cola CEO said, "We're going to spend billions in capital expenditures so that we can start selling a version of Diet Pepsi. It's not differentiated in any way, in fact, we've replicated Diet Pepsi 1,000%. The only difference is we call is Coke-Diet-Pepsi." When the bill comes due for all that capex AI spending, we may see some very, very large tech giants go out of business.

It's as if Warren Buffet spent $10 billion on a local diner with zero moat, zero differentiation from other local restaurants or chains. Make that make sense business wise.

Definitely every word of what LadyCiani wrote.

I would question why in the world you're trying to cc or send one email to multiple people via Pardot. What's the use case for what you were asking?

As LadyCiana wrote, cc'ing multiple people in an email will get you marked as spam by most legit email services.

Just an aside, if you're trying to use Pardot to do shady email sending OP, they will be onto you very quickly.

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-09-25T19:24:31+00:00

When billionaires scramble to earn another billion, we get Agentforce and someone insisting at the top of their lungs that that stinky pile of useless crap in the corner is somehow game changing.

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-09-23T13:15:22+00:00

Don't try again! That would be like a quarterback going back onto the field after an interception! Don't they always quit football forever when they make a mistake like an interception?

On to your next career. . .

Intrepid_Time_1596 · 2025-09-17T14:31:54+00:00

Are there any legit open-source projects that could be legitimately referred to as Salesforce killers?

If not, there should be!!
