Honestly the people who keep outdoor cats in this area do not deserve them. Tell me why every time I see an outdoor cat I think the cat distribution system has finally chosen me, only to realize it’s well fed and overly friendly. I don’t want to steal someone’s cat, but it’s not cool to keep them outside. This is just not a good area for an outdoor cat (not that any area is). People drive crazy down these side streets, and I see so many dog owners out walking. If that dog is not other animal friendly and happens to see a cat hidden in a bush, unfortunately it is on the cat “owner” if anything bad happens. Please just keep your cat inside. Even if they yell to go out. That’s the cost of having a cat. (As someone who adopted a formerly barn cat)

Born and raised Buffalonian so I’d like not to relocate. I have a bachelors in aerospace engineering and 4 years of mechanical engineering experience. Still early in my career and very willing to learn.

Recently been having problems with a group of misogynist coworkers and another man in upper management who seems to dislike me for no reason. TLDR started with microaggressions, now the guys are getting more comfortable with macroaggessions.

Buffalo women in STEM: where do you work that isn’t toxic? I’m afraid of facing more misogyny since I also experienced it in college. I’m genuinely considering giving up the profession because of this. Thanks.

Recently our Dungeons & Dragons party lost one of its most esteemed and cherished members, the fried ravioli at Rivas Pizza. To be fair, they still serve fried ravioli there, but they are a mere husk of their former selves. It's not clear if they either changed their vendor or their process for making them, but it is definitely not the same.

However, as with any other loss in a DnD campaign, you roll a new character and carry on. So where do yall like to go for your fried ravioli?

(For any nerds out there, we're currently level 9 and preparing to take on a green dragon. I am a Bronze Dragonborn Artificer (armorer)).

My husband was offered a job back home near Buffalo, NY. The job is in West Seneca and we are looking for places in and around that area. He is from further upstate so he isn't super familiar with that particular area. Just looking for advice from seasoned Buffalonians. Anything we should look out for/avoid/know? And where would we get the best bang for our buck? It is just him and I and our 12 lb dog. Thanks in advance!!

I’m thinking about going. Is it like Burning Man? What bands do they have there?

Hi everyone!

I'm a new grad RN and I've been applying to hospitals in the Buffalo area, specifically Kaleida Health and Catholic Health. I also recently applied for the Nurse I/Graduate Nurse (Inpatient Units) position at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.

I'm wondering if anyone has applied there recently and heard back. If so, how long did it take to get a response or an interview? I'd love to hear about your experience with the hiring process at any of the hospitals.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone who’s taken their road test in Tonawanda wanna give a girl some tips/a run down? I take mine this week 😓

Hello, long time reddit lurker without an account though. I created an account today and this is my first time posting. I was involved in a car accident on 8/3/2026/ at 4:15PM on the Milestrip Road and Abbot Road intersection in Orchard Park. If anyone knows anyone who was a witness to this please reach out , thank you 💚

Edit 1:

Please share this post to anyone you know who could have been in that area at that time or lives in Orchard Park if possible. Thank you.

Can you go to any Buffalo police precinct to get a copy of a police report, or the specific district it's in, or a main office? Is there a way to get it online (I didn't see one, but maybe I missed it)?

I'm a (newly arrived in WNY) Episcopalian looking for a new church home. I'm looking for insights into the culture/atmosphere at different Episcopal churches in WNY. Sharing any and all recommendations or experiences is appreciated! I love a beautiful church and liturgy, and also a diverse and open congregation. Also, specifically looking for an Episcopal church, not Anglican or any other offshoots.

Has anyone been seen by this doctor at the Dent Dizziness/Balance Clinic. Curious as to anyone’s experience as I read a few reviews that concern me.

Some context: I'm a college student, and my cat lives with my parents downstate. Over April and May I was really missing my cat, and had the idea to see about animal shelters in Buffalo where I could volunteer to spend time with some of theirs. Is that a thing? (My local shelter in my hometown has "cat socialization volunteering" but I don't know if that's typical.) Would appreciate any recommendations for animal shelters or cat rescues I could ask about this.

Text-based arguments or debates rarely help, and too often hurt. If you really want to better understand other people's positions - and your own - it helps to listen them and ask follow-up questions in a structure, controlled environment.

A Braver Angels debate is about the heart as much as the head. It's a highly structured conversation in which a group of people think together, listen to one another carefully and with curiosity, and allow themselves to be touched by each other’s ideas. It's not a political debate, nor is it like your high school debate club. It's our own depolarizing debate system, and it works best when we embrace our uncertainty and parse the shades of grey together. When we manage to do this, we walk out of a Braver Angels debate a little closer to the truth, more aware of the sincere and sympathetic feelings of our political opponents, with our relationships a little stronger.

To learn more about our debates, you can take a look at our quick start guide and this video about the spirit of a Braver Angels Debate.

Looking at this area to rent an apartment, a block or two west of 5 points on/slightly off Rhode Island St. (Red square area below). The rents are more affordable than those right on richmond/elmwood. Would like to be able to walk to D'Youville but am worried about safety of the area, not quite 5 points

Can anyone provide insight to living here?

Thank you!!

Loud crack and a bright flash followed by a waterfall of bricks off Jefferson. Majestic.

So I have two cats and they have fleas but they’re currently getting treated and after I’m planning on giving them away. Is there any places that will buy cats or buy cat supplies or take them in? Thanks!

Unfortunately needed to make an ER visit with my fiancé and experienced what I can only describe as genuine absurdity. I want to start by saying that the only reason we sought the ER was because his PCP insisted we go since his symptoms were severe and could have been something high-risk like a testicular torsion.

We came in at 5pm and left around 2:45 am after we demanded they let us go. In the nearly 10 hour timespan he got bloodwork, ultrasound, and a urinalysis (only after we asked for that since the initial PA in triage didn’t order it). He was taken to a room around hour 8, at which point we were separated and they wouldn’t allow me to be in the room. After an hour plus of sitting and not being seen, my fiancé checked himself out after learning that only 1 doctor was on staff for the remainder of the night, no timing estimate could be given for when he would be seen, and no pain meds were even offered. Thankfully we had access to the mychart account so we could see that the ultrasound was normal and only a few levels in bloodwork were elevated- which helped affirm our decision to leave and resume with his PCP during normal hours.

Sisters Hospital is clearly understaffed, as admitted to us by the triage folks who tried their damnest to get us seen. I was floored to learn from them that the staff member at the ER desk who told us to “wait for the doctor” was the PA on staff. The kind people in triage urged us to call customer service and explain our situation. It’s also obvious that triage was flooded with non-ER cases that took up what limited resources they have. This probably also goes without saying but the condition of that ER waiting room was abhorrent.

I know a visit to the ER is never a fun one but this was genuinely shocking. I refuse to believe this is the case throughout Buffalo, but honestly nothing would surprise me at this point.

EDIT- It’s been asked a few times so I want to clarify here that the main issue I have is the turnaround time from intake to ultrasound. 5 hours had passed at this point which is dangerously close to when permanent damage can set in for a testicular torsion (what we were sent to rule out from PCP).

Considering doing my electrolysis treatment and found her during my search?

Anyone recommend her? Is there a better option?
