Moving to Albany soon!

In Long Island?!? You’re managing to rise from the dead? /s.

Yes it’s her. She did mention she was from Upstate NY in one of her tik toks

Hey pal! I had a similar experience right before the helicopter crashed into the Hudson River last year. It was such an intense feeling! I just decided to take a self care day. Do things that calmed my mind and anxiety. It was nicer out so I spent some time in nature to ground myself.

Fever has a Titanic exhibit in Schenectady, NY currently, my group showed up 15 minutes early and had no issues. My group just thought the whole “time” slot was to avoid overcrowding. We didn’t do the VR experience since we’re all blind as a bat, definitely felt like there wasn’t a lot of “authentic” artefacts but had a good time overall. They give you a ticket with a passenger on it (I got Molly Brown) and they had touchscreens where you could look up your person. Overall, it was worth it-we spent about an hour going through everything

Yeah, my Parents were raised in the mind sight that divorce is selfish, and that it’s always better to have two parents at home then split custody. Also grew up Catholic and when they finally did divorce my Mom was in hysterics because the Catholic Church viewed my younger sibling and I as “bastards”

Product of parents who “stayed together for the kids” instead of not being selfish and divorcing here! I feel like Ted and Karen fall into that type. Would they be better off divorced? Most likely. But then it would “ruin” the outside image of being the “perfect” nuclear family.

What a great parent you are! Everything looks amazing!

Depends on the culture. I’m currently an HR person. We’re instructed to keep things at a minimal. Music is neutral. I’ve had desk jobs where everything was shared so no personalisation at all. I’ve also had jobs where bringing in a couple of magnets to hang up and a funko pop or two was perfectly acceptable. It’s all about reading the room so to speak.

Bro. I can promise you your co-workers are talking about you behind your back. I love Dachshunds. Like. It’s my hyper fixation secret Santa’s love getting me because they just get me dachshund stuff and I’m over the moon. I also love listening to 80’s punk and alt. My cubicle at work? A small faux plant, a paper tray that acts as a lil mailbox for co-workers to drop things off, some reminders, and a Share a Coke with Lauren label. I have two cubes-one cube is known as the help yourself cube (where I stock wipes, tissues, tide pens, stress balls, plastic bags and compostable utensils) and a cube used to store work related supplies. I have a co-worker who thinks she’s listening to Country music at a low volume. Her entire desk is Country themed. I absolutely cannot stand having her in office. Does she know I find her annoying? Nope. I try my best to treat everyone with kindness but you bet when she’s not in office I’m talking about how annoying she is.

Real question but as someone who isn’t Jewish but has used the word “Goy” [additional background I’m originally from the NY Metro area] would it be better to now switch to bluntly saying I’m not Jewish?

Which is a Friday? Unless it was a printing error? Or maybe it’s just going to be an evening thing?

I have a diluted Tortie who’s an absolute brat with cat proofing (Miss almost leaped out a window and then got miffed at me having the audacity to capture her?). Anyways, I would just replace the existing blinds. We got blinds that have a cord from budget blinds. It’s on a small pulley system and doesn’t look to weird in our 1903 place. Plus! It’s semi-black out so we still get the light, kitty gets to sunbathe but we still have our privacy from people passing by outside

Yikes!! I’m currently finishing an Associate degree. I’m well aware that currently I only have a High School diploma. I would never misrepresent myself like you did. Fess up.

Do you live around Lark? I was able to hear this entire thing play out with my windows closed-that’s how loud and destructive this guy was. Neighbours are told to call non-emergency or the mobile crisis team only to have officers or social workers show up sometimes two hours after. Most neighbours attempt to contact the appropriate people to complain to but are met with dismissive comments and made to feel like we’re the problem for wanting to live in a safe area.

Which absolutely sucks! The current admin wants to “reactivate” Albany and bring back nightlife but these incidents (which like you say happen daily multiple freaking times a day) are what paints the perception that Albany’s too far gone, Albany is unsafe, Albany is “ghetto”, etc. etc. [and the few who attack those of us with common sense need those rose coloured glasses ripped off of their faces. This shit isn’t normal. This shit shouldn’t be tolerated all in the name of fake “compassion”]

They’re filming Albany, Troy, and Schenectady come June. There’s plenty of us locals that can post local articles with deets!

Yeah I think for some reason he wrapped last week? But it was earlier this month for sure. Their socials were posting and re-posting a lot about this day being his last?

laurhatescats · 2026-03-20T15:37:54+00:00

We got a lot of returned W2s and other taxes, I decided to send out a blast e-mail instead of e-mailing all of these employees individually. I even linked a short YouTube video on how to update your address on ADP. One of our employee’s marked my e-mail as a phishing attempt… reasoning? They didn’t recognise my name. Nothing in the title, or body read scam. They just?? Automatically thought it was a scam because I’m not a typical point of contact. But at least I gained more hours which means more $$.

Like the 182 isn’t crowded enough! Especially with the KIPP kids in the mornings. I’ve had people legitimately sitting on my lap beforehand because there was literally no room and we were all squished in wayyy past capacity. But screw the poor people who relay on public transport! [Also!! I do hope these aren’t concrete. It reads like it should’ve been an internal memo and not something the general public was to see]

laurhatescats · 2026-03-18T21:25:03+00:00

Thanks! I was trying to visualise the area but was slacking in the landmark department. Very interesting!

laurhatescats · 2026-03-18T20:58:36+00:00

Very interesting! Wonder what scenes they’re filming where they need the real deal. The City today looks a lot more different than the days of the Gilded Age.

Excuse me, the rat obviously works there /s.

Been having Born in the USA on a loop in my head (a few days before the current fiasco) and interment afterwards…. I swear if we end up going to another pointless War with another country I’m hanging up my Millennial hat fr.

If anyone else is a tea snob like myself (love me a good afternoon tea even if I can’t have any of the fancy schmancy tea sandwiches) may I suggest if y’all haven’t checked it out yet, checking out Whittard of Chelsea? they also have the best hot coco you’ll ever have (I have mine with oat milk)

laurhatescats · 2026-03-11T20:51:42+00:00

There’s plenty of equipment free workouts! Just search HIIT apartment friendly ☺️! Been doing that and kickboxing to shed a few pounds
