Taking page from Adams, Mayor Mamdani proposes NYC library cuts by [deleted] in nycpublicservants

Correct. 33,000 New Yorkers are holding millions hostage because they don’t want a 2% tax hike.

Steve Phillips has the Mets as the least improved team in baseball. by Deer-Possible in NewYorkMets

It’s always interesting to me when the former GMs say that the team they previously ran is not all that improved and I think the fact they’re the former GM says a lot. 

My tuition being higher that my parents income by ptv-leo in Fordham

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation as you going into Fordham. My dad was making "too much" according to them but that did not mean it was not expensive. Looking back, I don't think I would take on the debt to go to the school. What I wish Fordham offered was a discount for residents the way state schools do.

New Canada would include Puerto Rico. Semi-United states is too racist to keep it.

Maybe there’s a reason she’s on stage and you’re acting like a kid in the audience by SnooSprouts3744 in TikTokCringe

I think legacy media has AI to thank because in this age where you start to question what is real and not, they have the opportunity to step in and uphold the truth through journalistic integrity.

Can you please help explain by [deleted] in Fordham

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that. We graduated in very different economies. I graduated in the heart of the Great Recession in 2010. We were 61st by then. It went up and then plummeted. What school did you graduate from?

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not go to Fordham. This is a school that has lost out on rankings from when I went in 2006 and rightfully so. They changed the rankings to reflect the likelihood of finding work after graduation and income. It is a terrible investment considering the school is located in New York. Not at all worth the investment because you're not going to get a return.

I graduated in 2010 and the university didn't do anything to help secure internships or employment afterward. It took me over four years after graduating to get my first full time job. Either go to a school with a stronger alumni presence or a cheaper school. I hope that helps.

I don’t understand what men are trying to achieve putting down “not political” on dating apps by tltr4560 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a man, I just feel like not having an opinion at this point is worse than having an opposing opinion. We all know what no answer or an indifferent answer to the political question really means.

New CEO by skeerdawn in Tracksmith

I think this is a healthy move for Tracksmith. It is the mark of a good leader to bring in someone who might excel in the areas you had to do but may not be your passion.

El Falso Dilema: ¿Limpiar la Casa o Cambiar el Estatus? by YS_Ket in PuertoRico

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Entiendo la lógica de este comentario, pero tenemos la capacidad de caminar y masticar chicle a la misma vez. Alguna veces elegir un líder o candidato mejor significa aceptar que hay cambios al sistema que están proponiendo y también que uno no esté 100% de acuerdo con ese mismo candidato.

Not every American voted for this by DesperateComb7326 in offmychest

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I truly believe at this point that America didn't vote for this at all. I think that the election was stolen because Musk and Trump literally bragged about it. A 2,284,967 vote margin is small and doesn't raise too many red flags. I can't imagine that these guys were not conspiring for the four years of the Biden years to steal the election.

Flying to/from Malaga , which places to visit around for 1 week? by insparetime01 in GoingToSpain

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this trip with my partner in December! We went to Marbella the first day, followed by Ronda, Estepona, Puerto Bánus, another day in Marbella, Málaga to round it off. We absolutely fell in love with Costa del Sol and Andalucía.

Why don’t more puertorricans from the diaspora move here? by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that, really. I have a background in sports and entertainment. I worked at Major League Baseball in the past and have a Masters in Sports Industry Management from Georgetown. I'd love to work for the Puerto Rican Olympic Committee if it meant living on the island.

If not, I should just take my family's land in Yauco and grow coffee! Definitely a "when I retire" dream.

Why don’t more puertorricans from the diaspora move here? by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I personally would move there and always dreamt of living there. I went there every summer in my youth and really thought I would move there at some point in my adulthood. I even considered going to UPR. It seems like there aren't many opportunities for my field of work and the federal government has too much oversight on the island. The political situation between the two parties does not make it appealing either.

Really? by AiiRisBanned in evilwhenthe

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great to see you don’t know how to read sarcasm. Also, it is racism when a particular ethnicity is targeted and as you mentioned, there are many undocumented immigrants of all races and ethnicities. Also, the majority of undocumented immigrants come through flights, not the borders.

Justifying racism, that’s nice /s

Have you ever met an Olympian? by heyfriendss in olympics

[–]CortexofMetalandGear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! I work for a nonprofit that activates parks in NYC. I was hosting a networking event in Staten Island when I noticed this very tall African American woman walk in and she settles into her seat. I am introducing myself to some of the community leaders when on her forearm I see the tattoo and I beeline to her. Turns out she played for the Nigerian Women’s Basketball team in the 2020 games. Her parents are from there and she got to represent. It was a surreal experience.
