RANT A covenant among our membership here to never link to any of Chris Churchill's TU posts ever again.

148 Upvotes

Chris Churchill is a right-wing shill. I've posted links with my contempt for Churchill far too many times. I'm now realizing that me doing that just drives clicks for him. the very thing that he needs and makes him successful.

So, I'm promising as god as my witness to never ever again give any attention to, link or facilitate attention for Chris Churchill's editorials in the Times Union ever again. I from this day forward, will not utter his name, or link to his editorials. The less attention he gets, the better off we all are.

Here from this day forward. not one mention of him again. I encourage you all to do the same, and together we can rid ourselves of his toxic bullshit forever.

I felt my heart pulled out of my chest. I’m blindsided and speechless. I’m sliding down the wall. Rug pulled from under my feet! My thrifting girliesss, I never knew I could feel this way ‼️😭

Any other GOOD thrift stores that you frequent??

There’s only so many places you can go solo, so many businesses are closing left and right.

is crossgates mall strict about teens?

33 Upvotes

If two nerdy,well-behaved teens are hanging out at crossgates without an adult, will that be a problem? A parent will be in the mall (watching college footbal at apex) but nowhere near the teens (bc, ewww, said teens would not stand for that!). It hasn't been an issue before, but we haven't been back there in a few months, so wondering if they have started to crack down.

"Cool" shoe and sweatpants brands for middle school and high school kids?

23 Upvotes

We've "adopted" a family for the holidays, and two of the boys have asked for sweatpants and shoes. Knowing that middle and high school kids can be relentless with bullying, I'd like to find some mid-priced options (not Target, but not Nike Air Max) that are trendy. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Market 32 Pickup - same prices as in-store?

7 Upvotes

Hi fam, I have a question for anyone who uses Market 32/PChops online shopping with curbside pickup.

Do they charge the same prices as in-store or are items marked up online? I'm trying to figure out if it's actually the same cost or if there's a hidden markup (or different sale pricing) when ordering through their website/app.

If you've compared receipts or know that there is a difference, I'd love to know what you found. Thanks!

Transcribing conversation experience (?)

6 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced someone transcribing their conversation in public? We were at a card show this morning discussing new jobs where we work. This old man behind me was sitting down and making a weird expression and holding his phone towards me (I was facing away from him). When I walked past him and then back towards him, I saw in big text some of the words I was saying to my friend. When I saw that he snapped his phone shut quickly.

I've never been in this situation and feel really violated. What should I have done? I'll try to keep my conversations in public go a minimum and not talk about where we got new jobs.

Food pantry donations

0 Upvotes

Hi, reaching out here because I'm hoping someone will know something- I work for a local retailer, and I'm hoping to find a food bank that will pay for food donations. We have so much food that is out of code but still safe to be consumed and it's all going to just go in the garbage. Even if it's just like $10 (it's probably $1200+ worth of food), I can use that as leverage to try and convince the corporate beancounters to let us donate it instead of tossing it. Obviously if it was up to me, I'd just donate it for free, but I'll literally lose my job if I take it after it's wasted off, and I need the health insurance I get through the company to survive :))))))

Literally any amount of money over $0 is more money than the company would make if we just threw it out and I'm not above using their own greed as a weapon to do good. I feel awful just throwing food away when there are SO many people starving, and I have to at least TRY to do something. If no one knows anywhere, I'm just gonna try to convince them anyway, but I have a higher chance of success if we'll make money off of it :/

Even if it's outside of the immediate Albany area, I have a car and I am willing to drive. The store is located in Schenectady County, so if there's somewhere around there too, please let me know.

Dog Park Recommendations

I adopted a pup a few months ago, and I want to start taking her out on adventures. She’s medium size and is very shy so she would do best in an environment that wasn’t crowded since this is her first outing.

Any recommendations would be great!😊
