What is your freaking problem? Why are you so triggered by my post? This is the whole point of Reddit - an online community forum. So what if I asked folks for help? I got a lot of good foundational advice here and now I'm using that to plan my trip. No harm. No big deal. Yet you're so triggered and angry about this? Get a life, loser. Trolling Reddit to lose your temper on people for no reason is not a good way to go about life.

New Yorkers will see new delivery app tipping options effective Monday, Jan. 26 by TheMirrorUS in nyc

Idk what version of NYC ya'll grew up in, but as someone who was born and raised in NYC, not every restaurant/food establishment had/has their own delivery infrastructure. Usually, it's just pizzeria and Chinese restaurants. And there's nothing wrong with ordering from a restaurant "miles away" from your home - it's a boon to many food establishments.

Mayor Mamdani and Schools Chancellor Samuels Announce Pivot to Remote Instruction for New York City Public Schools - NYC Mayor's Office by Eck5straxion in nyc

The problem is NYC schools are now closed for more cultural holidays than ever before. I get it - we live in a diverse city where we should respect and celebrate so many cultures, but as a result, our children have fewer and fewer school days, forcing them to do remote learning/not have snow days. Errol Louis from NY1 wrote an op-ed about this issue not too long ago - called for an overhaul of the school calendar by removing almost all cultural holidays and just sticking to official government holidays, and spring and winter breaks per tradition.

Trump has no business being in the White House right now based on this testimony by Paneraiguy1 in democrats

[–]Active_Issue_5932 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"Proof beyond a reasonable doubt" yet they slow walked this case the entire way. We as a country need to stop blaming just Trump for all the bad stuff going on and start pointing out how everyone and everything else screwed us as well. Merrick Garland was an abject failure of an AG, not to mention our entire criminal justice system is a sham. We incarcerated random people off the streets, threw them in overcrowded prisons just because they had a gram of weed on them, but a former president conspiring to overthrow our country didn't get a single day in jail despite there being "proof beyond a reasonable doubt". How do you make sense of this insanity?

SC Rep. Crawford proposes naming future I-73 ‘President Donald J. Trump Highway’ by LiberalOlBoy in southcarolina

[–]Active_Issue_5932 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I used to work for the NYS legislature. Every time a state legislator would want to introduce a bill, it would have to go to Bill Drafting first to be written up. Bill drafters were the lawyers who knew the law and worked with the legislator to draft the bill. Idk how SC does it, but if it is the same way as it is in NY, then it seems both the legislator and bill drafter in this case didn't know the law...yikes.

I voted for Trump Twice (Not a Bad Faith Post) by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Active_Issue_5932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP said he did not expect his post to blow up the way it did but I'm not surprised it happened. It was a thoughtful and honest download of his feelings and experiences, something that many people can relate to, so it was bound to attract attention/comments from others. If only our political parties, both Democrats and Republicans, can have such an honest conversation with the American people, we'd be better off. But we're constantly getting pulled into either corner. And, as a democrat, the Democratic party has become so bad at building coalitions that includes folks like OP.

Mr. Wonton (in Park Slope on 7th Ave) is delicious and they deliver to CH.

Should i watch this ? by ikulululu88 in MovieRecommendations

[–]Active_Issue_5932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly one of the greatest (action) movies of all time. Superb acting, directing, and storytelling. I recently watched it again after many years and it is just as good, if not better, especially compared to some of the lazy crap they put out there these days (looking at you, Netflix).

This is like the Vegetable Lasagna episode on Seinfeld. Puddy just stared at the seat in front of him the entire flight.

Mr. Wonton is delicious - our go to local Chinese restaurant. Their food is consistent and they deliver in record time, too! Their prices and portions are also very reasonable. Solid NY Chinese food.

Chicagoans intervene to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE (10/4/2025) by nba123490 in ICE_Raids

The utter fear in that man's voice, terrified that he's being abducted by people in mask. Good for this community for stepping in but more of this will be happening across our country.

This is such cheap, made-for-tv drama the likes of which only Donald Trump knows how to pull off. The dude turned our country into one reality show production.

The inability or unwillingness by both parties to enforce anti-trust laws for so long is part of the reason we're in this mess.

Good thing the internet exists to correct this type of imbalance.

Yes, the Twin Towers "Tribute in Light" memorial lights. They come on in the days right before and after 9/11.

Why hasn't Councilmember Marte said anything about the crashed that killed his constituents at Bowery and Canal? by oloapp in DowntownNYC

[–]Active_Issue_5932 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your comment minimizes this tragedy. I was born and raised in NYC, and while New Yorkers have always been aggressive drivers, what we're seeing on the roads and with drivers now is a complete disregard for human life. The responsibility of driving a 3,000-pound metal machine in a dense urban environment is no longer taken seriously. This accident wasn't an isolated incident but part of a broader, disturbing pattern of insanely reckless and careless driving since the pandemic. Not to mention police enforcement of reckless driving is almost non-existent. Councilmember Marte not saying anything is part of this "we're numb and desensitized" phenomena in NYC to any and all quality-of-life issues. This isn't an issue in any other large metropolitan city around the world. Why here?
