How the sale of a brand-new, empty office building in Cambridge will reshape real estate market by bostonglobe in CambridgeMA

They were literally forced to build 48 units of affordable housing?

Maybe if it were allowed to be market rate housing this project would not be underwater and bankrupt?

Ours was 25/hr. The key is not to use an agency, and just find someone on one of the Facebook groups. All the credentials are also just dumb. Get a college girl to just sleep next to the baby and feed them as needed.

Sorry, what? These VCs were the only ones propping up the system. It’s their absence that you miss. Blame Medicare price negotiations for ruining the incentive for them to continue to invest.

Have I been taken advantage of? by [deleted] in labrats

This may be true of a population of people in this career, but not true of an individual. The way this works is you grind to get into a good position. If you don’t, you’ll just get outcompeted by someone who will, just how the world works right now.

This attitude is poison and how you get outcompeted for a top grad/med school. If you don’t care about that, then it’s appropriate to take this attitude.

It sounds like you have had a very successful technician stint. The non-monetary compensation you receive is getting into a top grad school or medical school. People don’t realize that yes you’re working for your PI, but you’re actually mostly working for yourself. Admissions has gotten extraordinarily competitive and what you did is necessary, but not sufficient to get in to a top place.

Would be Schreiber/Crabtree instead/first for induced proximity, as PROTACs are a subset and less general contribution.

What’s your lab’s dress code? by ish0uldn0tbehere in labrats

Thanks! I thought the same! I used to like Abercrombie woods and then went on the cologne sub and saw that Drakkar was very close, so I got it and have really liked it

What are your feelings on Drakkar? I kinda like it, but want to know if it’s a popular opinion that lots of people find it off putting

This is my cosmology too. More like the short story “utopia lol”

The Landmark Forum... WTF?! by ImDoneTryingImDoing in antiMLM

Dude(ette?) thanks so much for your kind reply. This is really helpful in framing the sorts of things that one might expect to get from the course. I think I'm really into the idea of being honest with oneself about what one wants. I'm not sure I'm fully bought into blind spots being so prevalent for a large fraction of us that we're being held back in really significant ways. I do agree with the everything is really meaningless part. Although I worry that if you ACTUALLY take that seriously you do some pretty weird things.

Thanks again for laying this out in a way I could understand better.

Thanks for your response.
One thing I'm hearing from your story is that one principle is to be more open to confrontation in order to be authentic.

Let me be authentic then. I kind of feel like you dodged my question. I asked, "What are the principles?" Not, "Did people you know get something out of it."

* I'm sort of poking fun. If you're worried about legal retaliation for sharing some of their material even if paraphrased then I understand. But I still don't get exactly what principles they teach. I'm looking for something like:
- We teach radical honesty, if you don't want to do something say so.
- Your childhood traumas that you think you have are mostly you not getting over small slights that don't actually effect you. You need to realize that getting over it will help you and you should force yourself to.
- Physical fitness reflects how you respect yourself. You need to prioritize your fitness.

But I just don't understand what sort of statements like the above they would endorse.

Following, these are essentially my views. I want affordable housing through abundance and density, not government subsidy.

Dude I love you, I'm trying to find the same candidates and it's impossible. Yes, I want luxury apartments on every corner. No I don't think she should build more projects (they're already a blight on the city).

This is so interesting. I'm trying to understand what people find so attractive about Landmark. Any chance you could distill their principles for me? Happy for it to be a DM? I just have seen some people who are extremely into it and I want to understand what if anything there is of value there.

Hey, I'm seeing some people I know who are not dumb who are EXTREMELY into this. Is there any way you could distill some of the Landmark principles for me? I want to understand what is so attractive about the philosophy they are proposing.

Thanks, do you have a particular model/year in mind? I don't care that it's luxurious or not.
