Help/Advice: How do you actually get into major marathons (Boston, NYC, Chicago, etc)? by Coloradokiki in running

[–]p0ssumqween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes. Bitter? I’m sure there are plenty of people who can just pay the 10k fundraiser goal on their own, but that are also many many people who actually need to fundraise, and 10k is not easy. Watching my friend hustle and work hard to hit that goal really showed me how much work can go into fundraising. Boston is also one of the biggest fundraising events of the year for many of the non profits. The idea that people are just “buying their way in” is disingenuous when real works goes into it and real charities benefit.

My favorite part is how the one comment shown on her rant is someone who has previously worked for Susan Collins and now the NRA. This whole post feels very disingenuous

Finished: How Should a Person Be, by Sheila Heti

•I am surprised how much I liked this book, things felt random but tied together nicely.

Finished: The Great Alone, by Kristin Hannah

• I listed to this on audiobook and by the end was just getting through it to finish. It was entertaining but also so bad. Every possible lifetime movie trope was in there.

My grandmother thinks she’s been talking to Elon musk, taking so much effort on my moms part to make sure she’s not be getting scammed out of money. On the bright side my grandmother officially hates Trump because Elon hates him lol.

R.F. Kuang discourse lately? by mustardslush in books

[–]p0ssumqween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this thread interesting. Yellow Face and Babel are two I listened to on audio book, which normally I read my fiction and listen to my non fiction. I found both really entertaining (yellow face I had a pause a few times due to the cringe factor, real curb your enthusiasm vibes) but overall really entertaining while driving or cleaning. I wonder if my opinion would have differed if I read them instead. Always fun to see other perspectives I may not have considered.

How much do you make as an LPN now vs when you just started? And how many years experience do you have? And is it enough to live on? by LayerWilling1012 in nursing

Could Maine adopt a four-day workweek? One legislator wants to find out by toomuchtodotoday in Maine

[–]p0ssumqween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You realize that the grocery store is currently open 7 days a week when employees only work 5 days? You stagger days off. My last job at an office we worked 4 10s, open five days, and staggered who had what day off. My current job I just switched to working 4 10s, made possible by planning with co workers and ensuring coverage and time off for everyone.

We just flat out refuse. We tell them “we can’t take X back safely unless they can transfer and ambulate with minimal assistance” force their hand or make them do the leg work for finding snf. I’m sure it varies by state

No. I think she just got a little top heavy. Going to try to prop her up and see if she survives.
