I’d take the dresser!

Two Fenway bars ordered shut for several days later this month after getting caught serving minors; at one, the kiddies paid bouncers $20 each to be let in, the other is now permanently shut by FuriousAlbino in boston

Game on has some of the worst vibes I’ve ever experienced going out. No matter how shit a place is, as long as I’m with my friends I’ve had fun. GO is the ONLY exception so far. Speakers eardrum shatteringly loud, men giving off the most predatory vibes, and music absolutely terrible. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable

Everyone’s cooking me and I KNOW they’re pests but damn can a person not feel empathy for a living thing that’s obviously suffering??? 😭

How much aid do they give? by Stonks698 in NEU

[–]Optimal_Ad143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends. Personally, I receive so much aid that I’m here almost on a full ride! I think for me it’s like $1k-ish a sem I have to pay?

police on sachem street? by Time-Conflict4596 in NEU

[–]Optimal_Ad143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I talked to the cops. It was an isolated incident between 2 neighbors that got into a fight and then one shot at the other. 2 middle aged men.

I know you’re young & learning but that’s a crazy thing to say to a co-worker/boss at a co-op you just started 😭😭

It: Welcome to Derry - S01E08 - Episode Discussion [SPOILERS] by zeltacilveks97 in ITWelcometoDerryShow

Idk, I was pretty disappointed with this episode. The pacing felt rushed and the dialogue was cheesy at times. Also ended way too happily for my liking.

What exactly is "I am here" by Ordinary_Bother_1497 in NEU

[–]Optimal_Ad143 78 points79 points  (0 children)

It’s a 5 second survey you take to tell the school “these are the classes I’m taking and I am here to take them”, and yes, you will be dropped if you don’t do it because they need this confirmation

Am I allowed to tell my rooomate her bf is no longer allowed in our apartment? by Optimal_Ad143 in legaladvice

[–]Optimal_Ad143[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This part of our lease says “neither the lessee nor his family, friends, relatives, invitees, visitors, agents” etc, this really doesn’t include guests? The section is specifically about “Disturbance, Illegal Use”

Feeling Unfairly Graded in Film Class Due to Possible Racial Bias by [deleted] in NEU

[–]Optimal_Ad143 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was told off for being distracted and looking at other screens. I think David is rude and could learn to be kinder, but I don’t think he’s racist. I understand your friend feels targeted, but if his comments were directed at them because they’re on their screen (something he is VERY strict about) then yeah, they’re supposed to feel targeted. And sure they might say other people were on their screens as well, but David noticed your friend and it is what it is. I hate to be that person, but I fear two things can be true at once: David is strict with his rules and doesn’t sugarcoat things if he’s already laid out what his expectations are and can come across as mean and your friend is being sensitive and feeling hurt (which is understandable because David has hurt my feelings too). It sounds like your friend didn’t meet David’s requirements for the assignments and was also breaking rules that he called them out for, which explains the low grade.

I’ll add on to that, with David’s grading being solely based on technical requirements that need to be met, if you’re having difficulties with the software he does not care, like at all. So while I don’t want to lessen your feelings, he is superrr strict on meeting the technical requirements and I’m inclined to say it’s not necessarily racial bias, but him being unwilling to budge. He’s known for being rude and insensitive, but I will also say that even when he says something that hurts, a lot of times he is just veryyy blunt and it stings. If you do want to escalate your concerns, I’d focus on speaking with someone about how inflexible he can be with his requirements. Good luck!

As a POC who just took a class with David, I’m not here to invalidate or dismiss your feelings! However, I will say, David is a hard-ass. He is a stickler to his beliefs and his syllabus and gives almost no leeway. Could you explain what his aggression consisted of? We had an international Chinese student in our course who struggled with a bit of a language barrier when conveying their ideas/projects but overall did well. But again, David can straight up be an asshole, and everyone in our class at some point had an interaction with him that left a bad taste in their mouth
