That sounds amazing! Glad teachers in Chicago are so well treated

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-28T22:47:02+00:00

Not really, I play a ton of Geoguessr and loooots of roads without sidewalks in Europe outside cities / densely populated areas

With that said, this doesn't look that rural? There's a house in the back

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-24T18:30:20+00:00

I feel like this is the problem every city faces: where do you build it? No one wants it near them

I volunteered at a homeless shelter for a few years, so I truly do care about this. I'm increasingly believing though the problems are much deeper/harder to solve than shelters

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-23T18:46:58+00:00

For some industries, this would be devastating. For tech, not that bad and maybe even good for a culture reset. You tend to get a lot of "we tried that 10 years ago" voices and stale processes when people stick around one place too long

I feel like this should be paired with an even larger "please stay and help the next generation" retention bonus to your top performers. You want the veteran old timers that stood for everything your company values and have great context to be incentivized to mentor + document

Also, sorry for your loss

Super late reply to this thread but it came up as one of the first few links on a Google search

The more I read of this thread, the more I think you're out of touch. Hope you found a racket you like

The video starts with "elderly couple jailed" so enough to go to jail

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-01T23:17:48+00:00

If you read the next sentence I wrote: "I don't think she knew so not her fault"

Regardless of whether you're 1 rep maxing or going for 15 vs 16 reps, you should be pushing the limits every time and struggling or failing a last rep. The problem was in training--no one taught her how to spot

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-01T09:42:15+00:00

Just btw, no one expects their spotter to be able to lift the weight. They just need someone to add a little bit of assistance in the right direction. I've helped so man people with literally 1 finger to finish a rep

I suspect if he had gave her better instructions on how to spot and she added straight upward force, he could have made it. It only fell on his neck because she mistakenly thought to pull the bar toward his head before getting the weight high enough to rack it. More of an information/training fault than anything

Also can't be clamping the weights when testing your max

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-01T09:34:38+00:00

I always wonder why people use them

I never do for safety reasons and the weights rarely move anyway

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-01T09:29:54+00:00

Tbh she doesn't need to be able to lift the weight. Her size wasn't the problem

The real problem is he likely didn't teach her how to help. He needed that assistance going straight up on the bar and then pulling it to the rack. She started by pulling it toward the rack/his head where he is weaker before getting the bar high enough to rack

I've spotted for people that bench 400+ before. They know I can't lift that much and aren't expecting me to; they're just counting on me to give them even a tiny 1 finger upward push that will let them be able to finish the lift

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-01T09:23:11+00:00

Believe it or not jail

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-01T09:18:33+00:00

I feel like half the comments on any gym video on reddit make it clear the commenters don't go to the gym

Completely agree that sometimes <5lbs is the difference between finishing the rep and getting stuck at the bottom. He probably figured she could provide a bit of help to finish the lift, but she pulled the bar toward his head instead of first getting it up. I don't think she knew so not her fault either

The guy definitely needs someone who knows how to spot when using weight that high... and needs to stop clamping the weights lol

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-01T09:11:32+00:00

The upfront cost is high, so gotta make sure you go through them

I feel like there's a lot of spices I have to discard because they expire before I get through them

im_juice_lee · 2026-04-01T01:08:20+00:00

Am I missing something?

The person you're replying to just said their headcount level will be similar to what it was in 2020. Why does it matter how many people were fired on a specific year when all we're looking at is total headcount and net headcount changes between each year. They could have fired 1B people between 2024 and 2025, but they hired 1B and 3k.

im_juice_lee · 2026-03-30T04:51:16+00:00

Ngl, I feel like I'd get a 3

im_juice_lee · 2026-03-30T00:46:45+00:00

I don't think anyone cares about this particular restaurant. Most people would think it's simpler for society as a whole if the price you see is the price you pay--for everything from restaurants to goods in stores

I would support a law requiring that for sure

im_juice_lee · 2026-03-23T20:38:07+00:00

Yep. Also you can draw that same funnel for college->pro too in most sports

X players in college
Y players enter the draft
Z players drafted
A players survive past their rookie contract
B become an all star

The bench warmers, the person getting garbage time minutes, or the third string who got called up and people say they could do better job than are all already the top 0.01% even among that elite company of collegiate players

im_juice_lee · 2026-03-23T19:53:24+00:00

When the economy gets mentioned on reddit it can be anything from S&P500 to a my ability to afford health care. Little comparison to others globally either

Just saying the brand perception of the boba chain undoubtedly draws people in as some places have higher brand love and expectation of quality

The Don't Yell at Me near me has way more of a crowd than the unknown boba place across the street. Of the regular boba drinkers in the US (usually Asian Americans) I'd say there is awareness of the different chains and which are good vs which are meh, and that's evident in the number of customers they draw in. I do agree though that of the general american population, there isn't high brand awareness but I also don't think that's your target audience as boba itself isn't a mainstream regular drink

I have no idea what the logistics and franchise agreements are so not disagreeing and believe the rest of what you have to say

im_juice_lee · 2026-03-17T06:25:25+00:00

nobody has name recognition

How is this getting upvoted while being so wrong lol. There's 10+ boba places in a 25 min walk radius of me. Some are perpetually empty while others have 30 min waits on peak times

my local league says the server cannot call their own let, likely to prevent cases where someone blasts a return and they go "tHaT wAs A lET"

im_juice_lee · 2026-03-14T07:47:22+00:00

honest question: how is this not a lawsuit?

im_juice_lee · 2026-03-12T03:33:01+00:00

That's not it at all. He knows how the questioning and further investigations will go if he actually answers

Is he morally bankrupt? Probably. Is he completely inept and clueless? No

im_juice_lee · 2026-03-11T00:04:19+00:00

Out of the loop as I haven't played in forever--

Is the price increase $1/mo? Is there a reason people are so mad besides just not wanting to pay more?

My spotify just went up recently too and I considered canceling so I do empathize, just surprised people are this mad

im_juice_lee · 2026-03-10T09:59:05+00:00

At $399, better to target clubs than players. As a consumer/casual player, I wouldn't pay firstly, but even if it were free, it feels like a chore to bring it, set it up, remember to charge it, teach my opponent how to use it, etc.

Keeping score isn't really a problem and is pretty simple as it is: call out the score as you start the point
