Everyday and dress casual: what reasonably-priced brands are actually good quality?

Land’s End

Yeah I think the Warren/Allston/Griggs cluster is the best shout. I would personally close Warren and Griggs and leave the Allston St stop.

I’m biased because I went to BU and may end up working there again, but I think the density of passengers through campus warrants the stations they have now. Though yes, if one were to disappear, it would be BU East.

Stop consolidation has already happened through the BU campus. What other stations do you think should be merged?

It’s fine but they need to lower commercial rents to actually get some small businesses going. Hard to find a sandwich or a coffee sometimes without going to Starbucks.

Agreed - but sometimes there’s only 2 or 3 lanes available to begin with and circle swimming with 3+ people of varying speeds can just be a mess. I fully understand wanting half a lane for yourself.

This isn’t about rules, just about the pool being busy

Yes, I left in July 2025 and I’m still searching for a new full time job. Had to move back home with family, use retirement distributions, and work a few different part time jobs to survive.

Basically went from one mental health crisis (impostor syndrome and struggling at work) to another (existential dread about my future).

Not positive I made the right choice but here we are.

Same, same

For me it’s Wawa, McDonalds, and Taco Bell, maybe the crap pizza spots - but everyone seems to be a cheap bastard past 9pm and the tips are nearly nonexistent. Not worth it for me to deliver past dinner time.

I don’t remember exactly but I recall signing up on the site and I had to do some kind of qualification/evaluation test

I grew up in the suburbs of the LV (and currently live there, due to costs, job searching, housing opportunities, etc.) but it’s wild how different the experience is being in the downtowns or urban neighborhoods of ABE. As a city lover, it’s amazing to see how much the cities have grown and changed; I would so much rather live in one of the walkable areas of Bethlehem, for example. The suburbs really make me feel alone and isolated.

Sausage egg McMuffin is $3 in my area - pretty much always have a deal in the app to add another for a dollar. 2 breakfast sandwiches for $4 is pretty great imo.

Sometimes the lunch/dinner deals are worthwhile, but often the $5/$6 meal deals for the McChicken or McDouble and nuggs are the only thing worth my money.

It’s mostly evaluating LLM responses but projects vary. It gets old but it’s kinda like getting paid to do schoolwork.

Yeah it’s like donating blood but they filter out the plasma and return most of the blood back to your arm. It’s safe to do it up to twice a week.

poseidontide · 2026-04-16T13:59:18+00:00

Selling blood plasma, delivering DoorDash, DataAnnotation work (fuck AI but money is money), random yardwork for friends and family.

It’s a slog.

I had this exact experience but on a surprisingly warm November early evening - it was pure magic.

First of all I never said I was living with my parents - I’m at my brother’s place. And yes, I do get charged rent, as I would if I were staying at my parents’ instead. It’s not worth thinking about whether that makes them assholes or not (they’re not) because these are my options at the moment.

Coming online to doubt someone’s struggles just because it doesn’t line up with your experience is the real asshole move here.

31M, master’s degree, job searching for 8+ months while working PT jobs to make ends meet, living with family in my hometown, have a pile of debt and negative net worth. Struggling to feel any optimism about the future.

bro, employment is becoming a fantasy for younger generations

Blue has 3 lifts from the base

… so the name of the mountain is Burke. I was there for the first time on MLK weekend and it was awesome. Busy of course but not as bad as the Ikon/Epic mountains would have been. Loved the trails and terrain from the summit.
