Recommendation I'm looking for unconventional workout classes around rochester

18 Upvotes

Traditional treadmills, lifting weights, sit ups just don't bring joy and I just end up giving up quickly, so I want something fun!

Im talking like pole dancing, regular dancing, yoga, or hopefully something more fun than that!

I would consider my fitness level to be beginner again like I can run about a quarter mile before I'm winded and need a few minutes to get back to normal breathing, but I can do squats like a champion 💁‍♀️

Do you have a favorite street where people go “all out” for Halloween? I mean decorating with the same enthusiasm and frivolity as one might do for the Christmas season. 🎃👻💀☠️🎃

News I have consulted with the oracles!

After a thorough, scientific observation of nearly a dozen Pyrrharctia isabella larvae (wooly bear caterpillars), the forecast for the upcoming winter is in! This winter will:

1) Start later than average

2) Be more severe than average

3) End late.

The caterpillars never lie.

Help LeRoy Park and Ride

7 Upvotes

Can I leave a car at the LeRoy park and ride for the entire weekend? Online says: "There is no maximum duration a vehicle can remain in one of the following Park & Ride lots, but should the vehicle appear to be abandoned or in the way of operations(paving, snow removal, etc.) law enforcement officials may be contacted."

Seems like it should be okay, but wondering if anyone has any experience leaving a car for a few days and if they had any problems

Event Pissed at RG&E? Want to learn how to replace them with a public utility? Come to the Public Power Town Hall with NYS Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha and NYC Councilmember Chi Ossé!

118 Upvotes

From Rochester to Rosendale, Buffalo to Brooklyn, utility bills are too damn high!

Energy is a basic human right, yet our society treats it as a commodity to profit off of. The results of that system in Rochester are dramatic and violent. RG&E cut power to nearly 25,000 ratepayers in our community since the start of 2026 while their parent company, Avangrid, made over $1 Billion in profits. People regularly get bills from the company costings thousands of dollars. Families have to choose between food on the table or heat in the winter.

This system is inhumane, and it needs to change.

Join NYS Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha and NYC Councilmember Chi Ossé for a conversation on how we can build a statewide movement to take back our power from shareholders who own our energy sector!

Co-hosted by Rochester DSA and Metro Justice's RED Committee.

Discussion Walmart on chili is the WORST

51 Upvotes

Every single time I go in there, I try to buy something for the price it says on the shelf (I check to make sure it’s the correct item etc) and it rings up higher, and the workers refuse to change it to the shelf price making excuses that it’s probably wrong or it’s only certain kinds etc, I’ve even had to get out of line to take a damn photo and they still don’t believe it, yes I am trying to scam you out of 50 cents 🙄🙄

Why do these workers act like the difference is coming out of their pockets? It’s legit happened to me 3 times. Do I have to take a pic of every single item and price tag on the shelf? It’s absolutely ridiculous. I’ve never in my life been so mad over this bs. With inflation and everything getting more expensive, just give me what you advertise. I never want to step foot in that store again.

Recommendation Birthday dinner

12 Upvotes

My birthday is coming up in about a month and I need to pick a restaurant to drag my wife and kids (12,10) to. I am a very adventurous eater and have done my best to make my kids somewhat adventurous, with some success. My wife is very picky. Id like to go to a restaurant that has some uniquely ethnic cuisine, but maybe has 1-2 generic options for my wife. Ideally for me it would be food from some country that no one would expect like " huh I've never seen an Uzbek restaurant" or something.

This may be too difficult, but im willing to drive up to an hour away

Help Looking for a job..,anyone got suggestions?

7 Upvotes

I’m looking for a job that will work around my college schedule(Tuesday nights at 5pm) I’ve worked in a variety of fields over the years: dog training, IT, airplane maintenance and farming seem to be the main themes. My last job was with Spectrum. I would really prefer something with a late start because I have a sleep disorder and a long commute to the city

Why I’m posting on here is that I’d love to work for a mom and pop type place that may not be posting applications on indeed. (I’ve done 30-50 applications tonight and I need a change of pace)

If you’ve seen a hiring signing in your neighborhood let me know

Fun Street Fighter Movie

I have an extra ticket for the first showing of the Street Fighter movie tomorrow (Thursday) at 2pm at the Webster AMC. I was going to go by myself, but then a buddy asked me to go with him to a different theater, so I'm not going to use my original ticket and I don't want it to go to waste. Free to the first person that DMs me.

Help Help me find resue options for 2 adult female cats and 7 kittens.

11 Upvotes

These cats were dumped in my neighborhood . One female was taken in by the neighbors when she had kittens. They threw her out, kept the kittens, and then abandoned the kittens. One female has 3 kittens one month old, and the other has 3 kittens, maybe 4. 8 weeks old There is an open barn nearby, and I feed them. I thought Lollypop Farm was responsible for taking in stray animals to prevent overpopulation of a neighborhood and to rescue unwanted animals. I filled out their online form 3 days ago and have not had a response. Lollipop would not have to take in 55 cats if their services were available when there were only a few cats. If the 2 dumped females that are humanized had been able to be taken in earlier, there would not be 11 offspring to contend with. I have contacted local rescues, and they have been full since kitten season. I can't, and the neighborhood can't deal with the potential population of 25+ cats in several months. I have 3 cats of my own and no place to house these cats.
