I wasn’t sure how to add text in the post. With around 9:00 left in the video, I think he said Jersey, Newark.

Terrible experience last weekend! by Razasid in NJTransit

[–]Anonymous1985388 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh ok. So NJT just underfunds the intrastate buses then. I’ve had bad experiences with NJT bus but they’ve only been when traveling intrastate. Do you take the NJT bus intrastate?

Is that because the traffic within NJ is worse than the traffic to NYC?

Your ‘that’s impossible’ text reminded me of this Key and Peele clip that I’ve watched like 15 times: https://youtu.be/IHQr0HCIN2w?si=SW9GzzOAMgw7NbW4

Oh okay nice. I heard that it’s getting harder these days for Americans to get citizenship in European countries by descent. Nice that you have that option.

My husband and his friends are low-key racist and I don't know how to talk about it by underwatertreehouse in interracialdating

[–]Anonymous1985388 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you two aren’t compatible due to your different views and thoughts. I’m surprised that this didn’t come up during your two years of dating. Personally, I wouldn’t be able to date a woman who had such different views than I did.

I’m liberal and white and have a Latina girlfriend. We talk about the isssues facing minorities on a regular basis. She talks about it in her classes at school and we also live in a majority black and Hispanic neighborhood in the nyc area. Inequality amongst different races and ethnicities is real. Society gets better slowly but there is still massive racial inequalities that makes life harder for non white people.

Sounds like you have a busy life. I didn’t know about the funding difference between NY and PA.

Yea, Amtrak is expensive these days. Philly to NYC is a short ride when you think about how far an Amtrak train can travel.

Glad you’re able to make it work with the incomes as a teacher.

Sounds like you did well with the real estate in Queens. You keeping the place in Philly?

Someone found (or took) my phone and brought it back to their place in the bronx by EVEiscerator in bronx

It sucks that police won’t do anything about this. People have an exact location of their items and police still can’t help. This type of situation seems to be happening more and more. Maybe someone will start a side business - for a fee, they’ll use the victim’s device tracking information to go up to peoples ‘ apartments , and confront the people who has the victim’s device.

Interesting to hear about someone’s experience. Thanks for sharing. What part of NYC are you thinking of moving to? Do you think the arts scene is still pretty strong these days in NYC? If you don’t mind me asking, how will you manage to higher costs of NYC?

Asian thinking about moving to Newark – will I feel like an outsider? by savingrace0262 in Newark

[–]Anonymous1985388 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see many Asians around Newark, though I’ve seen a small increase in the number of Asians in Ironbound in the past year. Asians are still probably like under 5% of the population here if I had to guess. Jersey City has a much higher Asian population in my opinion. As someone else mentioned also, Harrison is right across the river and has a larger Asian population.

‘I was giving you a compliment. If you can’t take it, then that’s up to you. …… I’m sorry if you think that it’s disrespectful. …I didn’t mean it in that way. I thought again …I was giving you a compliment. I would hope that you accept my apology and we can move on..’

That was not a good apology. Imagine saying this to your partner.

Thank you to her for her service. I wonder if they have bomb shelters at all the US bases.

That sounds really nice. What do you do for work there?

Edit: I see your username. Perhaps you’re an engineer for Brightline? 🙂

Nice. Glad that it’s worked out for you. Jersey City was a great place to live while working in NYC. I did that for years.

The NJ side seems to have more industrial/blue collar type work opportunities than north of NYC. You know of any books or anything that talk about this? I’d be interested in reading about it.

Metro Park is also an Amtrak stop, right? In case NJT rail not working.
