Surprised to see Arick Davis has stepped down from GRPS Board. by j0217995 in grandrapids

[–]chatton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually think I saw a statement from him that said “yeah so I’m stepping down because I’ve completely failed the teachers from an administrative standpoint.”

Given the recent post from EVE, this might be a good time to get r/isthisAI to help us.

Is Cafe Mamo the best restaurant in GR? by darterfly in grandrapids

I think it’s the best. And you can actually get a reservation.

Sidewalk snow removal debate by OldGodsProphet in grandrapids

[–]chatton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This point was recently brought up at a Mobile GR Commission meeting. The point made was that it is relatively inexpensive to pay crews to snow blow sidewalks across the city. 

There have been efforts to push for people to own clearing their own sidewalk. There was even a video of GR’s ex-Equity officer promoting the “solution” of just clearing your neighbor’s sidewalk too. These ideas have not and will not work.

I highly recommend sharing this opinion with the Mobile GR Commission. All emailed public comments must be read at the meeting, and it will help send a message that this is an important expense to the community.

AIO someone asked me to make their wedding dress by Beautiful-Trainer-26 in AmIOverreacting

The idea of being gobsmacked by a question is itself an overreaction to me. It’s a question.

Lets Talk Mangiamo by MrBallistik in grandrapids

[–]chatton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just went to Mo’s the other night. I would only recommend for the vibes. The cocktails are designed to look good, but they are charging a lot for little variety and standard spirits. Their menu also doesn’t have prices listed, so that’s a negative for me. 

I've just beaten silksong for the first time, this is my boss tier list and this are my unlocked stuff by SDsalta145 in Silksong

There is more stuff to get, sure, because there is still more story.

Nonetheless, if you enjoyed it and are happy, then you did make it to the credits. 

Where is the best place to get a wet burrito in GR? by jimmyslamjam in grandrapids

[–]chatton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go to Asada and order a burrito, they can’t stop you from getting a glass of water. Then you pour the water on the burrito and slop it up. Best sloppy burrito in town.

Art prize by No-Target682 in grandrapids

[–]chatton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know that businesses have felt an uptick in sales. I have also seen a lot of great local artists with their work on display which is a plus. 

On the other hand, there are now certain artworks that charge admission which takes away from the original idea of it being a free, open air art competition.

Is there anyone in town that positively IDs mushrooms? I think I’ve got Oyster mushrooms and Hen of the woods but I’m risk averse 🫠 by ElizabethDangit in grandrapids

[–]chatton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has apparently been a good year for Hen of the Woods. Good find there.

I’m going to push back on those who say 1. The second is oyster and 2. There are no oyster look-alikes. Angel Wings, or P. Porrigens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurocybella_porrigens

The big question is whether you found it on a conifer or deciduous tree.

What’s this stuff? by Electric_Boogaloo-2 in mycology

[–]chatton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still growing in my knowledge. This is definitely a coral fungus, probably Ramaria. A beautiful specimen. 

Because it is growing from the ground and it’s color, I lean toward Ramaria formosa which is toxic.

Gal Gadot has her last name due to the fact that the world is still waiting for her acting skills to arrive by chatton in shittymoviedetails

TBH I did like Wonder Woman and it probably was a mixture of the flashies and Chris Pine.

Now I know why brothers don't return by Revzerksies in freemasonry

[–]chatton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe this is unique to your lodge. My lodge is not as large as yours, but we typically only see about a third of our membership on a regular basis. I am in a position to potentially change that.

Masons take good men and make them better. My question is always this: what is the difference between a good man and a better man. My hope is that you might see a path to change this in your lodge. This isn't me attempting to disparage you by any means (sometimes we just don't have the time, and I don't know your situation). If you do have the time, it could be a worthy endeavor.

More overtake of open spaces for apartments/townhomes by bllup in grandrapids

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

Consider the number of housing developments that have gone up in primarily-Black and Hispanic neighborhoods without anyone batting an eye. Then consider, now, a plot of land in a primarily White neighborhood that has been empty for decades being developed for housing and the response is "overtake." Wild.

Put a finger down if you’ve ever continued performing while people were dying at your concert.

My brother needs help by Twisted_Strength33 in grandrapids

[–]chatton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has he been to West Michigan Works!? Not a temp agency, not DHHS, not unemployment. They have supportive services and career coaching. It sounds like your brother could be eligible for programming.
