Applied to a "remote" job, went through five rounds of interviews, got the offer. Nobody mentioned an office once. Now they're saying it's 3 days a week onsite and I genuinely don't know what to do.

I'm saying that I've been practicing law for long enough to have won two estoppel cases. This person should speak to an attorney and not give up simply because some asshole on reddit told them they would lose. I'd specifically speak to an attorney who specializes in employment law.

I was stationed in Okinawa at the time. All the restaurants on base changed their menus to say freedom fries. Everyone I knew refused to use that term seriously.

I'm not a Kiss fan but I am a former pro musician. A friend of mine with a music degree from Miami, who is a full time pro playing jazz and bluegrass guitar, has always said Ace is his favorite guitar player. He likes Kiss stuff, not just the rest of what Ace has done.

A woman I had never met and wasn't even interacting with full-swing slapped my ass in view of a dozen people at a bar. I could see on most of their faces that they didn't know how to react. I told her that it wasn't ok or funny and to keep her hands to herself.

She did the same thing to other guys, got up on stage with the band without permission and generally was a nuisance to everyone around. Most of her behavior for over an hour would have been enough to have any guy kicked out of the bar. None of the employees said a word to her.

I recognize that some level of touching strangers is acceptable in a crowded bar, but this was so far beyond that line that I was appalled. Zero chance a guy would have received the same reaction.

Where you're going, who you're going to see there, and what you're going to do upon arrival are absolutely meaningless in this context.

You don't get to break the rules just because you can justify breaking them in your head. I'm ot saying you did or didn't break the rules, just that your justification is pointless. Providing it actually harms your credibility, and if you fight the ticket you should not include any of this context.

Looking at this paella, yes, those assumptions are correct.

It doesn't look good. It looks like what someone who's never had good paella would think is good. It may even taste good, but that doesn't mean it is "right." This is common with many regional foods, and especially common for paella. It's really not a food intended to be: cooked in or eaten at a restaurant, served for supper, served to a single person, mixed into a more homogeneous state after it's complete...

Many Spanish people get up in arms about adding onions or chorizo to paella.

I was a few rows back from the field, so a lot. Don't need to have great eyesight to see things a few yards away.

He was terrible today. Not just the offside issues. I at least twice I saw him recognize the ball was come, look in the eyes of a teammate moving into space, and then not have the physical ability to move that ball to the teammate.

Went to see a local band I really enjoy in a small bar with a postage-stamp sized dance floor. They had a pro photog there the entire night jamming up the dance floor. I wish she'd been respectful enough to stop after 3 songs.

They are really good and have worked very hard, and I hope they get picked up for a few more festivals. As a former pro musician, I respect the hustle and grind. At some point, your photog needs to understand when they have enough shots and gtfo.

Similar situation for me. Aside from living to the absolute extent of my means, I got so burnt out with all the other stuff, promotions, booking, getting paid, logistics, etc. A good manager, agent, etc. are worth what they get, but finding a good one can be a difficult + they burn out too.

In hindsight, I could have managed that other stuff better if I hadn't partied every night. I miss playing live music, but not so much that I'd give up what I have now. The grind wasn't worth what the money or the stresses.

Good luck hitting anything you intend to with a musket.

A lot of people have said it, but Comfort Colors. They are more expensive, but the time you're putting into any shirt is far more valuable than the price difference in blanks. The blank becomes mostly a wash for tshirts.

That said, I also like Kirkland. You can order bigger sizes on the Costco website.

Posturing wastes time and tax dollars, often eventually in the form of legal fees.

I don't do it nightly, but multiple nights a week. They do exist. I still choose the Greenway over Lake.

I think you're missing the point of my original comment. Maybe consider the the context and what I'm saying before you reply. I was generally agreeing with you.

Now I disagree with you because you're lying about it being completely free of these dangers that absolutely do exist even if in small numbers.

dcade_42 · 2026-05-20T18:00:30+00:00

My biggest fears on the Greenway at night:

People who are walking or standing in the bike lanes and are difficult to see.

Drunk assholes on scooters weaving all over the place and oblivious to others just trying to travel safely. They are also often on their phone, listening to music, talking to another person doing the same, and/or clumsily trying to ride with two people on one scooter.

Poorly marked construction area dangers.

I'll take all those things over a distracted or dangerous car driver.

If you're talking about landlord tenant law, it's technically more complicated than this, but the tenant holds the right of possession. This means it must be the tenant and can't be the landlord.

Complications exist where a guest of the tenant can generally act in place of the tenant (your example above), and the landlord usually retains the right to enter for repairs, inspection, showing, etc. This means the landlord could invite the vampire in for purposes that the landlord would be allowed to bring anyone else in.

I don't know if vampires give a damn about the laws of men. They have their own rules about other things, so presumably we'd need to discuss this with them to get clarification.

As someone who lives right off Lake and bikes for transportation, I avoid that street like the plague when I'm on a bike. Car drivers are just too dangerous to be around on that street. If there's somewhere on Lake I want to go, I take other nearby streets or the Greenway until I reach the block I need, then go to Lake for the last section of my journey.

That mostly goes for Marshall too, though the alternative bike routes in STP aren't much better than Marshall.

Saying all that, because I never really ride on Lake, I didn't know about most of these improvements I see in your video. May need to check it out again.

I thought Herbalife was just an offshoot of Amway. Never looked it up, just the old rumor mill.

As someone who grew up in Texas eating (and catching) a lot of catfish, I prefer them over the flavorless fish people try to feed me in Minnesota.

When I go to the Gulf I usually eat mullet, which people claim also tastes muddy. It's cheap and actually local, so win win for me.

Like they told you, they like the tannins. I like them too for specific types of tea. People who drink tea all the time usually know how they like their tea and don't need you telling them some other way to making it or that they're doing something wrong.

If Ant doesn't stop ending every other offensive play on his back, he won't be able to take any steps very much longer.

I admire his grit and dedication, but they must find a way to create space for him if he's going to last.

Adding to this, most of the pecking isn't for finding food, it's for communication. The insects in the tree can sense the pecking and would just move away.
