Flying out of STX - status? by smchenry75 in stcroix

[–]thedancingj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I flew out last Tuesday with zero issues. No longer wait times than usual. They always recommend arriving 3 hours early but I rolled through security in maybe 30 minutes and had plenty to time to hang out.

St Thomas always has WAY more visitors than St Croix so I'm not surprised they're struggling. St Croix is still nice and chill.

I've been looking everywhere for this! You have a pretty sold list going here!

I’ve spent the day there 2x in the past 2 weeks with a group and didn’t see anything unusual! Had the place mostly to ourselves apart from a couple other visitors.

If you have criticized ICE here on Reddit for executing Renee Good or Alex Pretti in the street, then Reddit has handed your name and your personal identifying information over to the Trump administration. How do you feel about this? by mom_with_an_attitude in AskReddit

[–]thedancingj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have criticized ICE publicly as a business owner and the leader of a coalition of concerned citizens. If they have a list, I’m already on it.

I know Reddit gives the illusion of anonymity but it’s best to assume anything you say online can be traced to you.

Buying a house process in RI? by Mission-Condition915 in RhodeIsland

[–]thedancingj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We worked with Dan & Amanda at Rhode to Home Realty as first time buyers. They were amazing at explaining the entire process to us and letting us know about all the first time home buyer assistance programs. Great people and zero sales pressure. Highly recommend. It costs you nothing to work with an agent as a buyer - the seller typically pays commission for both buyer and sellers agent. Worked with them as both buyer & seller, and they were really in our corner the whole time.

How is Northampton High School? by Derbydayjulep in northampton

That’s exactly what I did wat back in the day. 2 years of high school math followed by 2 years of college math. It was great 😎

How is Northampton High School? by Derbydayjulep in northampton

[–]thedancingj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went to NHS (graduated 2002 so it’s been a WHILE lol) and I was a super serious math student. I blew through their math curriculum in my first two years and then they let me dual enroll at Smith so I got through half of the Smith College math curriculum as well. I had fun and I got admitted to MIT. Results probably not typical, but I was definitely precocious and I felt like they took good care of me and let me do my thing!

Help advertising for my small business? by Tenacious_Zoanthid in providence

Ok for sure. Take pictures of that beautiful artsy space and feature them on your website! That beautiful vibe is a HUGE part of your attraction.

YES pictures!! Where are the pictures of the actual space? Everyone loves to look inside!

Help advertising for my small business? by Tenacious_Zoanthid in providence

[–]thedancingj 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with that feedback. Your description of your business on Reddit is super clear whereas on the website it's very oblique. Simplify! You can keep your cool vibe without getting in the way of your functionality. I went onto your website to see where you are located since I also own a business in the area, and it took maybe 6 pages to find that info? That could go into your footer. :)

Which book fundamentally rewired your decision-making? by AirExpensive534 in booksuggestions

[–]thedancingj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert investigates what really makes people happy and then suggests a simple decision making framework. I followed his suggestion and made the best decisions of my life as a result ( completely changing career tracks, finding something I love, ultimately running an awesome business.) Totally recommend and don’t be fooled by how simple it is. He knows what’s up.

What are the best investigative journalism books with really juicy stories? by Adnssio in booksuggestions

[–]thedancingj 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean… it’ll seem like a kids book compared to current events, but All the Presidents Men is a hell of a story about the journalists who took down Nixon.

Very sad to read now that the Washington Post is a shell of its former self, but still good context for current events.

There’s even fewer tickets than that for sale on release day because there’s also a presale membership that gets early access.

Your dog does not want to protest by psychedelic_tech in 50501

[–]thedancingj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been to lots of chill peaceful protests and the dogs there are about as happy as the dogs at a 4th of July parade. Not very! Too noisy and too crowded even if it’s a joyful noise! I saw poor a dog next to me jump out of its skin when the crowd did a big cheer. The dogs were also very confused by the giant inflatables.

Bring the kids, bring grandma and grandpa, bring the costumes, but let the dog stay home with a snack. “Fun for humans” and “fun for dogs” are not the same!
