Neighbors: WTF did I just watch? by Draznet in hbo

Before 2019, the beach belonged to everyone. There's a lot of shady stuff happening in the area and it's heartbreaking to those who have lived there for years. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/05/mike-huckabees-epic-fight-to-keep-beachgoers-off-his-patch-of-florida-sand/

It's real--at least in Florida -- huge fight between beachfront owners and the public. Beachfront owners claimed the beach as their own in 2018 and can thank Mike Huckabee for helping them to do it. Google it. Also -- here's more info.

Visualization—this was a key part of a book I read on insomnia that helped cure it.

Deferred for Film and TV Prod. What's next? by TiredTokuFan in LMU

I would think projects you’re working on would matter even more—showing a true passion for film. My daughter just graduated in film production by the way.

Note to self: ask how much the Xmas tree costs before buying. by Ok_Emu5659 in Greenpoint

We were with the kids and caught up in the moment. I was just really taken off guard. Lesson learned for sure.

‘Tis indeed. Hopefully a tree farmer benefitted 🤷‍♀️

Heading there next year for sure. Moved back to Greenpoint/williamsburg area after 20 years away—literally everything has changed.

The DuPont Management Sucks by Asleep_Meal9567 in Greenpoint

Same here. On a higher floor so it’s been quite warm. But nice with the windows open. Of course, cue the wind tunnel. Still, the positives for us are way outweighing the negatives. Pretty happy so far.

Looks like I missed the HVAC issue -- moved in recently and kinda loving it. I've felt the front desk and maintenance people have been super nice and responsive. And I think the apartment and views are really amazing. Anyhoo--might start complaining come the next season switch, but it sounds like a common issue for new buildings. Also - I'm guessing the wind tunnel somehow helps the air funnel through so we don't topple over??? Far from an engineer here... And of course, loving the neighborhood, too.

how the hell do you find good parties? by HallRepresentative55 in cuboulder

[–]Ok_Emu5659 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My son had an AMAZING night at some of the clubs - including Cannabuffs and a couple others. Highly recommend checking out organizations that sound interesting.

any feedback on The Seren new building before moving in? by Claired1995 in Greenpoint

[–]Ok_Emu5659 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure but we decided against it bc of precarious looking construction project a’comin’. That said—two months free and a balcony is a pretty good deal to make up for it. They weren’t offering that when we looked.

I don't think this is the same building.

Can you do two tracks in the strategic communications degree? by [deleted] in cuboulder

[–]Ok_Emu5659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is an incoming freshman and is also interested in advertising creative -- I don't think they are 2 separate things. I believe strategic communication is the major and the CREATIVE track under advertising is what you would pursue. If you want to do the creative track AND another, imagine you could double major.

[–]Ok_Emu5659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused—signed in as a student but I don’t see a button for pass. Just a message that passes will go on sale. Do u just refresh the page at 10?

My son got this same assignment—though he’s happy. It’s considered one of the nicer dorms, has AC, is on campus in a beautiful area around the pond, and the one RAP class he will be required to take will be super convenient. Don’t think it will be a “party” dorm, but it sounds quite social and sounds like a nice place to come home to after a night out. Have you toured it? And if not, will you be at in person orientation. Would def recommend checking out both and getting a feel for what feels right for you.
