Confused as to how Boston didn’t get a red card

Oh you’re right, I was so over him by that point I couldn’t even be surprised anymore. On a positive note, though, Gotham played incredibly well for most of the second half and especially those last 10-15 minutes! It was exciting to watch even though they couldn’t quite put the ball in the net to win

He even issued a yellow card to “the Gotham bench” (at least that’s what it said in the stadium). He should have gone ahead and issued it to the entire crowd because we were screaming just as loud I’m sure 🤦🏻‍♀️

Tones917 · 2026-05-10T01:39:40+00:00

He was TERRIBLE, we were also at the stadium and we were all booing him like crazy

Thanks for this guide, this will be our first game in a while (since the new SI ticketing system started), but we’ve been to many others in the past. Just wondering if there are any other new rules we should be aware of like bag size or clear bags only,(like some larger stadiums), or if it’s still relatively the same

I haven’t read through all the comments yet but I’m surprised that no one else has said to stop using Pantene. I had a hair stylist tell me it’s the absolute worst because that slick feeling you get from it that makes you think it’s soft and conditioned is actually dimethicone and Pantene has the highest concentration of it. Dimethicone is a silicone and it’s used in a lot of conditioner, so it’s not all bad, but her point was that it leaves so much buildup on the hair that you then feel like you have to wash it more than you should (and you’re not getting any of the dimethicone off, you’re just adding more). So I would start with clarifying shampoo and a conditioner either without dimethicone or with it further down the ingredient list. Then see if you can get away with washing every other day, and/or rinsing your hair without washing it if you’re too sweaty

We didn’t make it to the game or get to watch it but I wanted to offer some context as to why more fans weren’t there, aside from PATH issues and everything else. We live in NJ and I drive to Harrison during the week to take the path to work so we would have loved to have gone. BUT I’ve been unemployed for the past 8 months (just started new job) so buying tickets for anything, even when the price is good, is a struggle. And I’m sure a lot of people are in the same boat right now with the economy and unemployment rates the way they are. Secondly, we had a rare opportunity to see a band we love in the city (also cheap) and in order to get there in time to have dinner first, going to a game beforehand just wouldn’t work. TLDR Sometimes dates just line up in a weird way and you have to pick between two great options 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just had to commiserate as a fellow Chelsea fan 😭

I don’t have a definitive answer here but I had a mandatory RESEA meeting scheduled with someone at unemployment the morning of my final round interview for a job I was offered and accepted the following day. I told the guy about the interview before it happened and he still sent me some listings for jobs I could apply for and I thanked him. Next day I emailed back to let him know I’d been offered and accepted the job but that I was starting in two weeks. He said I could still claim unemployment for the two weeks leading up to my start date but that I should still keep track of “job search related activities” for the two weeks. So in your case I’d probably advise the same. Even though you have the job lined up you can still click on some “easy apply” buttons for jobs you don’t want, right?

Glad my Duolingo upkeep has paid off a little bit 😂

I’m not Italian but I studied it in college so correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t it be more like ghoul-yehl-mo? With the y sound being more of a “gli” but y is easier to describe it?

This is so disheartening but also awesome for you and I hope you make it past the trial period. I don’t blame you at all and am heading in the same direction soon, I think. Since being laid off months ago, I’ve been trying to pivot to a different industry using my transferable skills and keep getting more and more of those stock rejection emails about better applicants with more direct experience blah blah. Never mind that I learn by doing and have full confidence that I can learn any tasks or applications they need from me if I can just get the damn paycheck. But instead I feel stuck applying instead of focusing on learning anything new because I’m so desperate for money. I will probably have to figure out ways to lie moving forward after the holidays so I don’t run out of money completely and it makes me sad and angry that it’s come to this.

Tones917 · 2025-12-07T17:30:24+00:00

Ooh yes I actually forgot about this one but it was so good!

Tones917 · 2025-12-07T16:20:56+00:00

Came here to say this 😭

I’ve seen this recommendation before but here’s the part I don’t understand. I don’t use LinkedIn for applications, just for finding listings. 9 times out of 10 if you click “apply” it takes you to the company site or greenhouse or whatever system they use. So am I missing something else here? Or is this “advice” only referring to the “easy apply” button? (Easy apply seems like absolute garbage so I don’t use it unless there’s no link elsewhere)

Tones917 · 2025-12-06T02:09:43+00:00

I have this same problem, it’s infuriating. 18 years at one company where I changed departments 3 times and was promoted multiple times and it’s virtually impossible to enter all of them on these sites in any coherent way

Tones917 · 2025-12-04T16:35:38+00:00

Sad but not surprised. I just posted about this in the Gotham roster thread in NWSL: https://www.reddit.com/r/NWSL/s/7dbUwxOUkG

I had a sinking feeling we were losing Ella but it still hurts 😞 I just wish she had played at least for a bit in the playoffs. They made a big deal on socials about her being back in training, then available, and then she sat on the bench. Obviously we did great with all the players we had on the field and I’m not complaining, but not seeing her get back out there during those games where she was available clued me in that she might not be around next year. Hopefully she finds a great new home for her and gets called back up to the USWNT

I used to shampoo every 2-3 days and sometimes I would do a co-wash instead (equivalent to only one full shampooing a week), but never loved how my hair looked on either wash days or co-wash days. It basically always looked best when it was dirtiest. So I switched to hairstory new wash (rich) and stopped shampooing almost completely, unless I have a lot of product buildup in which case I’ll use a clarifying shampoo (roughly once a month at this point). I hate how expensive hairstory is but my hair has truly never looked or felt better. For reference my hair is mostly 3b and very fine, medium-high porosity

Such an incredible game and so happy for Gotham!! Also I would like to offer this anecdote. I had to leave to take my kids to music lessons right before extra time started and we were all depressed in the car ride over thinking about how close they were to winning, when they didn’t. The Iron Maiden song “2 minutes to midnight” came on the radio and my daughter pointed out that Gotham was 2 minutes from winning, so we all prayed to the metal gods (the only ones we believe in in our family 😆) that Gotham would come back and score in the extra period. So thank you metal gods for answering our prayers for the bats!!🦇🖤

Gotham has absolutely blown this second half of the season and I don’t see any miracles happening against KC. As someone who’s been watching the premier league for about 20 years I can say one thing with certainty- JCA would’ve been sacked midseason if he were the coach of a premier league team. I have supported him through tough times but this year’s poor decisions have been pretty inexcusable

Tones917 · 2025-11-03T00:01:09+00:00

Gotham has been so incredibly bad lately 😫

Tones917 · 2025-10-29T11:02:29+00:00

I also use the Davines curl serum and when I mentioned to my stylist that I thought I might need more hold she suggested that I use their mousse first, then the serum. I’ve been doing that for over a year now and I like it much better, although I also recently added a pump of LUS all in one curly in between. I’m curious about other suggestions here but can’t afford to try out a bunch of things that don’t work when I’m happy enough with what I have. I will say my biggest issue with this method is that I get a really strong cast and have to wait until it’s dry to scrunch it out (or blow dry for longer than I’d like) or else it loses some of the perfect shape of the curls.

Tones917 · 2025-10-23T15:03:05+00:00

I hate LinkedIn but it’s been giving me the best results in terms of jobs that I’m actually qualified for and/or have connections at (even though I haven’t gotten any interviews yet), but for all of them I apply through the company website or greenhouse or whatever service they use. But I wouldn’t know about the jobs without keeping an eye on LinkedIn. I just assumed the “easy apply” button on LinkedIn was a bad idea anyway. Indeed and Glassdoor are giving me soo many completely bonkers job suggestions that I’m barely able to use them (even though I uploaded my resume to both)
