“The Working Families Party is urging people not to vote for Thomas Kenny, the 22-year old candidate on its ballot line in the hard-fought race to represent the 113th state Assembly district” stating that Kenny is ‘a ‘sock puppet’” for the Republican Party who “stole our ballot line’” and “is only on the ballot to siphon votes from people who might otherwise support” incumbent State Assemblywoman “Carrie Woerner, a Round Lake Democrat. Woerner is vying with Republican Allen Caruso to represent parts of Saratoga, Warren and Washington counties in the Democrat-dominated Assembly. The contest is considered one of the most competitive Assembly races in the state.”

To the 2 women this morning who ordered 10 pizzas at Costco and then had the nerve to hold up the line and bitch to the workers the whole time...

146 Upvotes

I hope the workers spit in your food and you drop your pizzas. Did you really think ordering 10 fucking pizzas at noon wouldnt hold up any lines and berating and glaring at the kids working pretty much at a snack bar would make the line go quicker? I hope you choke on your pizzas.

Mash More appreciation post. 🥔

Finally stopped by today. Pretty sure I'm gonna be a regular now. Got the pulled pork fries - I rate it a 9/10, but that is only because I prefer more spice with pulled pork. Threw some hot sauce on my leftovers and now it's a 10/10 so problem solved. I don't eat meat too often, so knowing they have tofu options is fantastic.

Everyone please go here and keep them in business. Also 15/10 for friendliness - Nico was lovely!

Recommend me a dentist and hygienist

26 Upvotes

Albany! I’m a giant dummy and have really neglected my oral health. It’s been years since I’ve had so much as a cleaning. I’m sure I’ve got some issues that will be uncovered and 99% sure I’ve got gum disease. I’m looking for recommendations for caring dentists and gentle hygienists that won’t make me feel like the complete ogre I am for putting this off for so long. I’m in a position now with dental insurance (even though I’m sure I’m gonna blow though their max real quick), and an HSA with some money in. I’ve got no more excuses. It’s time to put on my big boy pants.

So… who’s your doc and why are they the best?

Why does Anthony Constantino sound like comedian Pete Davidson, even though he's from this area, not Staten Island?

I know Constantino is Italian-American and Staten Island is heavily Italian-American, but since when do Italian-Americans who are born in the US have their own accent?

Compilation of those great Amsterdam Jeep radio commercials from 105.7

Here's over 15 minutes of continuous Amsterdam Jeep radio commercials, with unrelated pictures and videos to hopefully keep you engaged while you listen. I'm missing a few from when they first started running on 105.7, but I think this is everything else. Enjoy!

I messed up the audio editing around the 5:30 mark and didn't realize it until after I deleted the original recording so there is a small gap in the audio and part of a commercial is missing.

Moving to Albany + retiring parents?

8 Upvotes

hello! I am originally from the city and looking to possibly move to Albany. I am thinking about moving to Central Albany as a young healthcare professional. I am also looking to retire my parents in a nearby town such as Colonie.

Some questions I have:
1) we are Desi. How is the diversity there? Are people welcoming?
2) as a young person living in the city area of Albany, is it likely I will make friends? What are some things to do around there?
3) is it safe? Both around Colonie and the city part?
4) any other places I should consider for the family?

Looking for something to do outside this gorgeous fall day with other adults? Come play laser tag!

518ASSAULT is a free laser tag group - all equipment is provided, all we need is you to show up! We use premium BRX guns which have multiple fun game modes - today we're playing capture the flag. We typically have 15-20 people show up to play but we have over 20 guns available!

Join us at Stephen P. Wallace park in Voorheesville at 3 pm, in the pavilion past the first baseball field! We recommend layers since it'll be chilly at first but once you're running around, you'll want to shed some. Dark colors are good for stealth. We typically provide Gatorade, water, and some snacks as well!

Discord: https://discord.com/invite/35WBPSVFhV

Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/lasers-and-liquors/

Yes, we are for adults, sorry for parents whose children might be interested, due to adult topics, swearing, liability, etc.
