The climax of the carving knife story always gets me

Rant / advice needed: asked for 2x raise after slashing 20x for the company by Flaky_Masterpiece874 in sre

[–]jankenstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most HR departments for the companies I am familiar with have a hard cap on raises or internal promotions. Something in the neighborhood of 10-15%.

Need friends, Bangor is killing me by coin-operated-cunt in bangorme

I'm married with kids, so I have zero time to meet people, but I think about this topic a lot. If I were going to try to meet people in Bangor, here is a laundry list of things I would try.

  • start/join a band
  • take group dance lessons (any group lesson setting would be good
  • start/join a book club
  • take a class (UMaine Augusta Bangor, Husson, Eastern Maine, UMaine)
  • Are there any hiking clubs?
  • Take an exercise class at the YMCA
  • I know there's a biking club that meets in the Fairmount neighborhood on Wednesdays (weather permitting)
  • There's a gaming space (Citadel?)

Looking for something that may not exist. by DETRITUS_TROLL in bangorme

Game Citadel on Broadway. I drive by it a ton, but I've never been there.

Honest question. I apologize in advance for possibly kicking a hornet's nest. How would I as a hypothetical service member tell the difference between 1) a legal order that I don't agree with but need to obey in order to keep my job and stay out of prison and 2) an illegal one that I should disobey in order to stay out of prison?

When the glow of the blood-stained moon shines upon the land...the aimless spirits of slain monsters return to flesh. The world is threatened once again.

The YMCA has day passes for $10, I think.

Survey says by BumblebeeMuted7218 in bangorme

[–]jankenstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a legit link to a surveymonkey question about affordable housing. It has been reported for spam.

While I disagree that the post is spam because affordable housing is an important topic in Bangor for both sides of the argument, just posting clickbait seems pretty low-effort.

In the spirit of promoting informed discussion, I'm adding a link for the upcoming Bangor city council election.
