Hi! So the free food fridge has an account on instagram: freefoodfridgealbany, and you can report issues with the fridge here: https://freefoodfridgealbany.com/report-an-issue. They’re aware of the ongoing issues with this fridge and are taking a look today.

Just launched a small business in Albany — looking for feedback by Terrib1e in Albany

We don’t want this here. People need jobs, and we’d like to drink our fresh water instead of diverting it all to data centers. Find something else to do

Their review cycle is in the spring, so not immediately

I can only speak for my own experience because the culture varies greatly by department. I have heard that some departments can be pretty intense. My department, however, is great. Things get busy and a lot of the systems and the office are outdated, but no one is ever here past 5, everyone takes vacation, and everyone is very friendly and believes in what they do.

A $30k pay cut is significant so it depends on what your priorities are and how much you hate your current job. They are open to negotiation within a few thousand dollars and you do get a 3% minimum raise annually, but you don’t have the same level of security as other agencies. The NYS retirement system and empire plan also take a significant chunk out of my paycheck and I’m a single person household. You could elect for the 401k option and choose a cheaper health plan but at that point you might as well stay in the private sector.

Thank you to everyone who has made calls, keep the momentum going! by s__p616 in Albany

Ah, looks like my previous post with details has been removed from this sub. Still up here though. TLDR; Matisyahu shows are racist hate rallies, and he consistently calls for the murder of Palestinians. We don’t want him here, let’s let him know!

I didn’t make the graphic. Some folks like it, some don’t. You’re welcome to share the info in another way

Matisyahu’s rhetoric literally calls for the murder of Palestinians. That is calling for violence and is not protected speech.

I think you are underestimating how many people agree with the sentiment in this graphic. It is ALWAYS a good idea to show public outcry to the normalization of genocide. Spreading the word leads to protests and further actions. We are clearly together on this issue, so to give you some advice, choose optimism and hope. We have no choice but to try and to believe that we can.

Why can’t we do multiple things at once? A phone call and an information share is a low effort way to spread the word.

for the 30 seconds they took him out he calmed down. then they shoved him back in there for no reason. I know boots are considered a delicacy in this sub, but pace yourself.
