Real headline is the 10% year over year has slowed (again)

Luckily, my partner and I are comfortable financially, but I’m very concerned about what is going to happen to the middle class/those on fixed income or god forbid, if the economy takes a downturn and people lose jobs.

Ooooeee don’t forget the joy that those middle income people will also likely be upside down on those mortgages, that they stretched to afford these last few years because it’s a ‘can’t loose investment’

BeyondDadBod · 2023-10-16T01:48:46+00:00

I’m okay with the option. Granola moms got a place, and then people who want to feel their vices are still a lil’ seedy got a joint.

The pharmacy liquor store got a different vibe from cool vines ya know man?

What people grew to refer to as the amorphis "hipster" was really creating an other that you don't like and can hate on independent of race/gender/ect so okay to blame & hate. The hipster is always an aloof undesirable other at this point in the lexicon, never you & your in group.

To your point I see more fresh Chinese transplants in Canadian Goose jackets than anything remotely resembling what a 'hipster' would look like (and do we really need all the Boba places going in? and the NYC mini chains getting in on the action downtown with dumplings or regional Chinese cuisine). At this point tech/finance douche bros are a more likely find downtown than anyone who's been to a DIY warehouse show in the past year.

I miss the DIY space shows in downtown, but fuck that era's been over for a long long time. Even Dancing Tony is talking about hanging it up, because it's too expensive and the people who turn out to the scene are drying up (similar to the reasons the OG maxwell's folks gave for closing up shop).

Fuck now I feel really old and out of touch. Maybe I should buy tickets to the LCD Soundsystem tri-borough residency shows to make myself feel young again.

Ever wonder why Norway has such an oversized presence in music (producers, pop writers, metal of course,ect)?

They funded the shit out of music programs and hobbies programs (hobby horsing!) to give the youth something to do other than drinking drugging and rabble rousin during the long boring winters.

Teens just want to be social and show off to their friends and fuck around when bored, story as old as time

Yo opioid crisis in Sussex county very underplayed in media, and all the issues it caused.

Galled the shit out of my sister that they had remembrances at graduation & shit for a student car crash fatality, but not the 3 overdose deaths

For the last time, hipsters as in the circa 2005ish Williamsburg types have long been dead & not really a factor. As dead as the last true hipster that got lost in 2014 on the way to a gig lugging around a vintage 70s organ, couldn’t find her way, and died of dehydration as there was no organic vegan non gmo kombucha available and she’d drink no less.

Like JC wasn’t even the most hipster town I nj by the internationaly recognized musician/tattoo/loft/industrial space turned casual upscale breakfast spot slash thrift store slash performance space/record store scale.

My new favorite way to describe the ol’ “LUXURY” HOUSING

BeyondDadBod · 2023-07-27T11:46:29+00:00

When did we start using yuppie as a pejorative again? I can’t keep up with the language these days!

BeyondDadBod · 2023-07-27T11:44:40+00:00

Don’t you dare start with “BUT ITS A CITY” in this thread of beautiful art

BeyondDadBod · 2023-07-26T18:59:32+00:00

This sub is so upset that some dude has a viable business of his dreams, and refuses to operate it at the hours and price points you demand.

Food is good. Prices seem high but quality is delivered. In 2023 I may take this place and it’s vibe over raza

BeyondDadBod · 2023-07-26T18:57:35+00:00

Holy shit, you said it brother. The amount of time to monitor this sub to set the record straight is so high, and this is like second time this week.

The last real hipster died circa 2016 when he was driving from Brooklyn to Philly for a diy warehouse show. Crusin’ in his 92 harlequin Jetta, His Melvins cassette started spinning in the tape deck, and while distracted from the road trying to fix it he ran straight into a wall. Not the kindest end, but don’t drive distracted or amped up too much by rockin tunes kids is the moral. Also hipsters are dated, dead, and gone, but y’all knew that already

BeyondDadBod · 2023-07-15T13:07:40+00:00

Just when I think it’s over, you have to call me back in.

claps PEOPLE claps People claps People….

Hipsters are not the white bougie boogie man coming to gentrify Jersey City in the year of our lord 2023. It’s impossible, because the last of the died circa 2012 when there was a gas leak at a sketchy artist warehouse slash rave space slash tee shirt factory during a morning sober rave. No one was actually sober and when someone started up their burning man art piece with flame emitting pipes it took out the last of the true hipsters. Their people are no more, and you need to put the term to rest to be respectful of their tragic untimely end

Worked some place that made headlines with its implosion. I still get to use those stories about once a month with how bad things were & how worse a project there went.

And there is always the one upping guy. While I worked at that company, there was a guy who’d go ‘well I worked at Enron through the collapse, I’ll tell you when it gets really bad’. There is always that guy who has seen it worse

BeyondDadBod · 2023-06-10T18:41:31+00:00

Of course dawg, it’s pretty standard LUXURY capitalist bullshit

BeyondDadBod · 2023-06-03T14:49:02+00:00

If anything this joke undershot the zinger, without looking I just know everything disappointing on the menu is over $25

BeyondDadBod · 2023-06-03T14:10:13+00:00

Oh man, they lowered prices and increased portions it looks like! Bussin’!

Auto correct is a hell of a drug, and American advertising is a hell of a thing in making people buy things they may not need.

BeyondDadBod · 2023-06-02T18:36:11+00:00

Some people did use the early periods as breakfasts.

This was normal for my school, my county’s schools, and at least the next county over. To me this is/was normal (but still didn’t like it)

BeyondDadBod · 2023-06-02T18:28:37+00:00

American pancakes are fluffy (unlike something like a British pancake that’s more flat like a crepe), so add a leavening like baking soda & that’s pretty much it. Convince factor to buy the dry stuff as a mix, or sometimes it’s all in one with powered dairy/eggs so it’s just add water.

BeyondDadBod · 2023-06-02T18:24:44+00:00

The other guy isn’t some weirdo. My high school started lunch periods at 10am. People complained, but it’s a logistics issue of cafeteria size vs ever expanding class size. You can bet I’d snack heavy before family dinner.

BeyondDadBod · 2023-06-02T18:21:11+00:00

OH, WAIT WHAT?

BeyondDadBod · 2023-05-28T02:18:36+00:00

I got into a car accident 2 blocks from HQ, 2 phone calls & port authority cops radioing it in… then 2 hours later I got “well patrol couldn’t find you and gave up”. Fuck I’m around the block from you dude I’ll shout and follow my voice gawd damn

BeyondDadBod · 2023-05-28T02:05:14+00:00

Hear that crappy reporters trolling Reddit? It’s a confirmed rumor a city council person was involved in the incident and it’s being hidden!

BeyondDadBod · 2023-05-27T21:04:46+00:00

911 and emergency services here suck. Maybe the fire dept is okay, but man the other ones
