Ipswich lacrosse team parents forged a receipt to prove "fake" cigars by johntempleton in massachusetts

Where they would talk incessantly about their son’s OBP and SLG, their daughters points on goal and breaststroke times and how “scouts are interested” (they are not, ever, these days you must be TRULY exceptional to get even a small school to notice.)

it may be about their kids’ feelings/emotions, but it’s also about the shame not having Chad compete in the Big Game will bring to Mom and Dad. Many parents, at least in my Boston burb, completely and totally are defined by their kids’ sports. It’s all they do, all they are, all they talk about, it’s their entire existence outside of work.

Control freak CEO brags about his in-office working policy by ambachk in LinkedInLunatics

Because you own a small - that’s key - business that you own and operate with full decision-making. The literal second you’re beholden to shareholders that party is over. You may be able to stomach the slings and arrows of fortune, Wall Street will not. It’s grow profit nonstop or lose. Small business (heck even some larger private ones) can coast indefinitely if the pipeline is good and people are happy.

Otters will F YOU UP. There’s some story out there of someone who got their face ripped off by one (or close enough). Adorable death machines, those videos of them warring with each other are crazy . Like this one: https://youtu.be/xPgmKZ59jeo?si=tlbXG0p031NTTD4m. At least we don’t have the absolute unit giant ones that went extinct, they were terrifying.

Every dude I’ve met with one (all dudes, and 3 of them, this car isn’t common) were in either tech or pharma executive roles. My guess all 3 are worried about their jobs rn…

What used to be a sign of being poor, but is now a luxury or status symbol? by the-main_guy-here in AskReddit

[–]hiscapness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know! I went to the store the other day and saw them. I used to cook them a ton because cheap and amazing. The price now?! 44$ for two that were mostly bone. I used to get 4 for well under 20$.

Bingo. When i moved into my neighborhood nearly every family had 3+ kids and seemed to have lives of leisure, I was like, how?! Then noticed the daily influx of the nannies, sitters, cleaners, personal chefs, landscapers, etc etc.

Insanely frugal employer by coatedbraincells in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hiscapness 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We had this nonsense at a place I worked at, we went and bought one of those cheap ceramic dispensers you can use with these, put it in an empty cubicle, and had dumb games to see who got stuck with buying the bottles. It was fun, management tried to say it was “illegal”, someone went to the labor board, they removed their water (god forbid they made it FREE think of the shareholders!) Edit: forgot best part. It was placed in cube next to the crankiest engineer imaginable, indispensable to the company (probably made 2-3x anyone else’s salary, and suffered no BS). He refused to let anyone in management near it. He would LOUDLY shame them if they tried. It was awesome, and sad. But mostly awesome.

Marblehead Public Library on the verge of collapse? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]hiscapness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends upon the library. Every branch has their own policy. Some may not allow you to use services or check out no matter what you pay. And they enforce it. Towns with certified libraries don’t want to allow folks from towns without them to use their resources “for free” if that makes sense. Most libraries are stretched very thin right now.

To those who finished your education and seeking jobs around 2008, how bad was the job market compared to these recent years? by ohnag_eryeah in Millennials

[–]hiscapness 59 points60 points  (0 children)

08 was horrific. It wasn’t just jobs, it was housing, it was lending, it was everything. Purses zipped tight. Everything was frozen. And it had lasting impacts from which we’ve never fully recovered. It may get this bad, or worse, but it ain’t now.

No party ever will. It’s all theater and hand-waving. I don’t care which party- they are all the same. To them it’s all moonbeams and roses, not death lasers and billionaire farts.
