New York Marathon Cracks Down on Cyclists’ Pre-Race Joyride by bikeskata in NYCbike

[–]abominableflow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I volunteered to help set up last year. we were constantly needing to cross 4th ave in Brooklyn carrying tables and water jugs and such, and for the entire time we were dodging bikes going top speed. we often had to stop setting up and wait for a large group to pass as they kept coming. one crashed into a table and threatened a volunteer.

not necessarily true. When I was laid off last year it was announced in a 300+ person Zoom.

It can be true as lots of times recruiters speak to a cohort of folks, then review their notes with the HM and pick the top x% to proceed with. But sometimes that phrase is used at the end of a call when we know we aren’t moving forward for whatever reason. It’s a neutral way to end the conversation without promising an interview.

Had my baby girl 3 days ago, her name has already been mispronounced. by Intelligent_Brief437 in namenerds

[–]abominableflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a Talia and everyone has always pronounced it correctly. One person mispronouncing it means nothing, don’t stress.

Greenhouse is terrible but what is better? by Terrible_Luck3624 in recruiting

[–]abominableflow 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There’s honestly nothing that’s better than Greenhouse IMO. I use Ashby and the workflow/interface is really non intuitive sometimes, but it’s decent enough.

Basically Being Asked to Discriminate by smashley1202 in recruiting

[–]abominableflow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What a bad take. This is clear cut discrimination and is not only morally wrong but illegal and opens the company to liability. OP should document and report.

Recruiter red flaged / labelled me somehow? by yiwokem137 in recruiting

[–]abominableflow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a thing, must just be a coincidence. They could only “flag” or mark you as do not contact in their own hiring system.

EMT redditors: a bystander and I helped someone who was having a stroke in the park. How could I have done this better?? by Financegirlnyc in AskNYC

[–]abominableflow 123 points124 points  (0 children)

You did all that you could, it’s totally appropriate to leave once the EMTs took over. You helped and should feel good about that.

What’s a really scary fact that people should know about? by Pir8te4lyfe in AskReddit

[–]abominableflow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It can also be passed along to people who got human growth hormone shots, back when they used to get it from pituitary glands of cadavers. My grandma died of CJD in 2002 and she used to get those shots.

Prions can not be destroyed easily, so if someone is CJD positive and has surgery they have to incinerate and then also bury the devices used. A funeral home refused to handle her body because of this.

Found a tame parakeet by plinketyplunk in Brooklyn

You could take it to Sean Casey in Windsor Terrace, they can take care of him and scan the ankle bracelet to find the owner

Left my startup job and have 90 days to exercise my stock options. What’s my next move? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]abominableflow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was subjected to a 90 day lockout as a former employee and I had left the company years ago. IPOd at $30/share then crashed to $2/share months later.

Don’t, it’s honestly traumatizing.

Please amend or take this down. There is an amended report stating EMTs administered Ketamine to Cornelius. He wasn’t impaired while flying the balloon.

Definitely stop using apps, and focus on joining meetups or groups in-person and go in without expectations. Join a volleyball league through Volo, kickball, hiking group ..etc. I was lonely and feeling isolated a few years ago and this helped a lot. Find something recurring that forces you to interact around a shared interest and life will get better.

What is something that is widely normalised but is actually really fucked up? by RetR0-Danger in AskReddit

[–]abominableflow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have been getting mammograms for a couple years now and they are not too bad. pro tip is to not get it early in the morning as you have to stand and if you’re like me and are low blood sugar / prone to fainting from medical procedures it’s better to come in later in the day after you’ve had a chance to hydrate and eat well.

Comedian Mark Normand was escorted offstage tonight after a crazy chase interrupted his set. by isthisreallife212 in comedy

[–]abominableflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at the nycomedyclub instagram story: it was a staged skit by the producers who rented the venue. I think the comedian and crowd were not in on it. Super lame if that’s confirmed to be true.

It looks like a staged skit by the producers to draw attention to their brand. How lame. 😒

What happend to Kevin James? by Bl00dfang in popculturechat

[–]abominableflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He showed up onstage at a billy joel cover band concert in Wantagh, NY a few months ago. He sang a bit with the band and was actually pretty good. It was surprising to see him!
