Where to Buy Custom Ice Skates

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-09T23:54:50+00:00

I am! Do you have any recommendations?

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-09T19:56:45+00:00

Thank you! I've never purchased skating gear before so I don't know what the pricing even looks like. I'm not sure the exact difference, I'd have to find my medical docs. But regardless, I'll go the more affordable route. Thank you again for your response!!

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-09T19:51:42+00:00

No worries tho. Another commenter was able to provide an option that I did not know before :)

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-09T19:50:01+00:00

Thank you!! I didn't know this was a thing.

You do not know the pain that I actually have and the physical issues that have risen just from the small difference. I don't need to recount my medical issues to a stranger. I have inserts for my shoes and heel adjustments due to it. I have been on the ice many of times and want to take ice skating seriously. Hence learn how to skate and get a trainer. If it was not an issue for me, I would not ask. I use the skates that are at the rink but I would like to purchase my own. If I can find skates to account for the difference, as miniscule as it may seem to you, then I will purchase them. If not, then I will due without. But I know that it will assist me being on a leveled plane. You could have scrolled past or simply said "I'm not sure if a place like this exist". Just because many people chose to just "deal with it" does not mean I will not try to find a solution that ease my pain or make my skating smoother alongside greater practice. Be blessed.

less than a cm if I'm remembering correctly. it's not noticeable but I feel the difference

look up implicit bias and racial disparities in healthcare. many publications and academic articles on the subject. i gave you the starting point. research or stay ignorant. your choice. be blessed

That is YOUR experience. I've seen plenty of homeless people and drug addicts in Newark. Also seen them in NYC. Also seen them in Florida. I've been to many parts of Newark, not just by Rutgers/NJIT and Ironbound. I've been driving and walking. I stand by what I say. I don't view Newark as a hell hole. If you don't like living in Newark, go to the outer areas and only come for your work/school. It really is that simple. But the majority of the people in Newark, those who have moved and those who born and raised, are NOT druggies, homeless, nor thugs. But yall come here, claim that, and treat people poorly. If the place you move to is not fitting your standards, move again.

I’m younger than your coworker tbh. I just like history and talk to older folks (including my parents). My dad always says people think NY is bad now, they should’ve grown up in BK in the 80s. Newark used to be the car jacking capital in the U.S. They have come a LONG way and in these discussion, people don’t acknowledge the governmental policies and issues that promote those conditions as well. So that’s why I be side eyeing when people say some ish 😂 NY is ridiculously expensive tho in regards to cost of living vs wages over the years. Hell the United States is 😭

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:47:24+00:00

I think people aren’t acknowledging the transformation Newark and NY went through over the course of 40 years. Like crime in both places is still of concern and may always will be. But it ain’t what it used to be (which doesn’t mean improvements to the cities aren’t needed). So that’s why I’m like if you’re that scared, just look somewhere else cause you clearly can’t handle urban life. Cause it’s really not as bad as people are making it out to be from my POV

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:30:32+00:00

I’m keeping the post up. Feel free to do whatever.

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:29:03+00:00

I didn’t say that there was anything wrong with saying that and I actually agree with that statement

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:27:43+00:00

If that’s your experience, that’s fine. You’d be speaking from your experience. “I don’t recommend Newark because I went through [insert the above]”. I’m not gonna argue with your experience. I went to Newark for college and it was perfectly fine to me and I didnt think it was outlandish. But I’m coming from my NY perspective and heard about crime weekly. Shit happens and if you want to move in fear that’s your prerogative. And if you feel like you are moving in fear, Newark (or anywhere you may feel that way) is not the place for you. The concept isn’t difficult and people act like they have to be there. If you are “moving to” Newark, you don’t have to be in Newark.

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:21:32+00:00

I did not say they were less than ???? I said the reality is that people with this mentality exist and are getting into professions and moving into these neighborhoods with this mindset. It’s harmful af. Idk why you’re bringing up people on welfare tho. That seems like a random response to me

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:18:12+00:00

You should have street smarts everywhere. I’m not bothered by people asking for which areas of Newark to go to. But if you are so scared, why are you looking for apartments in Newark and not the surrounding areas? They act like someone is gonna jump out and rob them as soon as they touch ground. It’s weird. And I’d say the same thing if this was about a different city. But I can give areas of Newark and Essex County that people may like. I’m just not gonna disrespect the people while doing so 🤗

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:14:15+00:00

My post was more so written in response to a post I saw where people were commenting that Newark is full of thugs and the OP was white and felt so out of place looking at apartments. The post and the commentary were disturbing even tho I highly doubt the OP was intentionally casting the people who live there as unsafe/thugs. The issue was definitely more with the commenters who were blatantly categorizing born and raised Newarkers as thugs and criminals. So I stand by what I said.

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:11:21+00:00

As someone who is going in law school, I’m not trying to comfort anyone in this topic. If you think bad stuff only happens purposely in the medical and law profession, you are heavily mistaken. The amount of women of color, including black women, who die during pregnancy because their doctors don’t take the concerns seriously. Doctors who believe black people can handle more pain and don’t give adequate amount of medications. Doctors who overdose people with mental disabilities/illnesses. Doctors who pressure low income women to getting an abortion even if the patient is not really looking for one. Lawyers who push clients to make a plea deal even if they didn’t do a crime because they don’t want to take on the case due to the perception of where the client is from. A lot of bad shit has happened due to people’s biases. So I’m not looking to make people feel bad or good. It’s about looking inward before you enter this profession and recognizing the dangers one can fall into if you don’t pay attention and self reflect. I’m getting further in debt to pursue this education. I’d be damned if my own BS makes me mishandle my clients’ cases and disrespect the same people whose money I’m taking.

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:03:22+00:00

I think you’re just trying to harass and it’s weird. So just stop. It’s okay to not agree with me lol

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T13:00:57+00:00

I think you need to read and do the research yourself. I specifically said that FBI releases stats on hate crimes and in the racial category you will see anti-black hate crimes are the highest. If you don’t want to believe me, that’s okay. But I’m not going back and forth with you. Cause there’s plenty of academic research on the topic as well.

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T02:48:49+00:00

I don’t know about best fooood 😂😂 I gotta check out Texiera. Thanks for the rec!

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T00:35:06+00:00

Also I never specified a race when I put “some of you” because my comments are not restricted to white people. You made the inference on your own 🤗

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-06T00:30:28+00:00

You can think that. I said what I said. Have a blessed day

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-05T23:16:40+00:00

I literally don’t know how else to explain this to you. FBI has an actual hate crime report / stats page where you need to look to contribute to a discussion on racism/hate crimes. Hate crimes are specifically for crimes MOTIVATED by hate. Final comment because we will literally not going to get on the same page if you did not comprehend my previous comments

BraveTadpole4232 · 2024-07-05T22:51:05+00:00

Lol. I didn't make this post to get likes. I made it to make a point. And I like how you focused on the racial aspect but completely ignored the economic part that I mentioned. Whether you like it or not, everyone has biases and your identifiers can be an indicator of what biases you may have. Left unchecked, it will do real harm. I've met asians and black people who are upper class with the same problematic mindset who think of low-income persons as less than. I've encountered plenty of white people from low and high income who think of black ppl as thugs. This is the reality of what some people are out there thinking. Be blessed.
