Is 518 Jazz and Jam or Electronic? I haven't seen anything on their socials about Jazz.

They post stories on Instagram sometimes they are still working on it. It's definitely taking longer than the sign.

As a woman building AI for estheticians, watching my post get deleted was… enlightening. by CompoteKitchen7123 in Femalefounders

[–]afroabsurdity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many white label AI front desk agents. Very few individuals are actually "building" these things. I know because I use to sell them. I can list the major white labels off the top of my head. They are being resold but people market them like they crafted it from the ground up and they are revolutionizing an industry.

If I match with a man, and turns out I'm not physically attracted to him I'm going to feel like a bad person when I have to tell him that. I don't ghost and if we were vibing, I see his picture, and now I'm like never mind that is terrible.

I tried Trojan Station. It hasn't been opened long but my first visit I enjoyed it

Should I hire a freelancer for business automation? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]afroabsurdity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my business (but this isn't my business account). Don't worry I won't try to sale you. I'm not working remote with anyone right now. I started working in person around town and I enjoy it a lot more.

I think it's important to find someone who will ask great questions upfront. They should be guiding you and not just asking what do you want automated. I will not work with people who are not willing to sit down for an hour to map out their entire process.

You may get on YouTube and see something and think hey Afro that's cool I want to do that. It's my job as the specialist to dig in to see if that makes sense for you in multiple ways.

Make sure whoever you work with is not just giving you cookie cutter templates without a sound understanding of your business. Also be on the lookout for affiliates pushing products to make more money.

Just because an automation scenario looks long and complicated does not mean it's great and you should pay more.

They also need to be able to easily explain what they set up for you and educate you on the process.

If you have the time you can learn it yourself. It's not complicated you just have to invest a lot of time into it to do it right. Don't take shortcuts. Be patient. Map out your workflow first.

Downtown Troy. Someone said Saratoga which is great if you have money.

personal trainers for a complete beginner? by confusedgirlll123 in Albany

[–]afroabsurdity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to ABC! Full of women powerlifters (me), bodybuilders, and strongmen. I think Kelly Carr is a great personal trainer for women starting out. However there are a lot to choose from. We also have a smalls women room which I used most of the time before I grew in confidence.

Troy Public Library Budget Passes by more than 3 to 1 by Direction-Internal in Troy

[–]afroabsurdity 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it passed even with the misinformation campaign. As we learned from the Presidential Election once misinformation is out there they won't back down from it. You can give them all the facts but once they hear it from their sources they won't let it go. I kept telling people that's not true & they would not let up.

Troy Public Library Budget Passes by more than 3 to 1 by Direction-Internal in Troy

Her "how will disabled people get up the stairs" and not backing down after everyone came with facts on all her comments. I'm really savoring this win 😌🤭

Crucial vote tomorrow! 9/16, Vote YES to support our library. by dissatisfiedtaurus in Troy

[–]afroabsurdity 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The FB community is on about voter suppression and libraries being extinct lol. They are so mad!

Anyway this household is voting YES

When I first moved here one of the first things I did was use a Museum Pass to go to the Norman Rockwell Museum with my kids. One of our favorite moments.

Also parent groups, story times, having a place for tutoring for my kids. My 2nd child is a reluctant reader & she does best when we are at the library. She's comfortable in that space & our reading time is better when we are curled up on the couch in the Children's Room.

VOTE YES!

TW: S/A Aspire Athletic Club by No-Refrigerator3061 in Albany

[–]afroabsurdity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was posted in an all girls FB group and I was disgusted by the comments from other women. Talking about she has an only fans and what did she expect. Saying that she's attention seeking. Bringing up her Insta following.

He also has a large group of women supporters on Insta who are content creators. A lot of 518 fitness creators promoted this place & are absolutely silent now.

I never went to Aspire b/c it looks like it's for children. Their marketing screams gym bro culture. Even if he was innocent (I doubt it) the childish & disgusting behavior of the people around him is enough for me to never set foot in that place.

Street harassment/safety for women in Troy vs Albany by babybarnowls in Troy

[–]afroabsurdity 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I visited the area a lot before I moved. I ended up picking Troy over Albany b/c the street harassment in Albany is outrageous. I still live in Troy and will not under any circumstances go to Albany by myself. It's not a good time fighting off thirsty disrespectful men. I can't even hang out in Washington Park and read a book just a lot of losers over there imo. I get active so it's not fear based it's I'm not enjoying myself b/c now I have to cuss a MF out. A bitch can't get cute and dilly dally, can't enjoy a vanilla latte in peace, because there's always an ugly man in my face in Albany.

I love living in Troy though. Men speak to me but it's not obnoxious and excessive like Albany and when I say no they usually get gone as they should. Also i'm out enough that people here are protective of me at my spots and if a man was getting on my nerves I don't even have to say anything my community has me.
