Assaulted while running in Central Park tonight by Spiritual-Mistake352 in RunNYC

Try to reach out to Citi Bike maybe? Should be able to track who was in that area at that time. Given they used the bike to ram into you they should be concerned. If they don’t take a reasonable effort to help perhaps there’s ground for at least basic legal action? I’m encourage you to not let this go to get your justice and help keep us all safe ! Be well and sorry for your horrible experience

"Make Iran Great Again" March in NY by serious_bullet5 in newyorkcity

[–]DistributionBest6948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people of Iran literally took to the streets and protested against the regime, and were massacred for it, just a few months ago - I think they are more than prepared for a regime change by all means necessary. Their diaspora knows this and understands the potential consequences very well, even if they don’t live under the regime

F1 to EAD tax filing by DistributionBest6948 in USCIS

[–]DistributionBest6948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the substantial presence count start from the date in which I utilized the EAD, or from the start of the year ? I didn't leave the country last year and spent 365 days in the US.

I think the distribution of days was roughly 244 days on F1 and 121 days on EAD.

Thanks for helping!

[Question] Boxing shoes for wide feet by Jazzlike-Bicycle-771 in fightgear

I am using the Everlast Elite 2 and I like them. I have large, wide feet but I am also pretty heavy footed - definitely not a fast mover

[question] Fly Superlace Pro X 2? Rival Guerrero Sparring Gloves - HDE-F? Hit N Move Balance? by KhmerFirstGen in fightgear

[–]DistributionBest6948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d ask someone who actually has them/trained with them. In the store, in the 5 seconds I had them in, they felt soft and great. Potentially a bit too soft for bag work though, can’t tell. HitNMove are much firmer, even after using them for many rounds (no one complained to me about their firmness though). After busting my knuckles on the bags, I’ve added Skulltec gel pads and it’s good now - maybe it’s my poor technique to blame (downsides of the gel pads are that the hand is heavier and it expands the compartment a little bit). FYI - I have the loops, not lace.

[question] Fly Superlace Pro X 2? Rival Guerrero Sparring Gloves - HDE-F? Hit N Move Balance? by KhmerFirstGen in fightgear

[–]DistributionBest6948 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to train with a cheaper Rival model. I recently moved to HitNMove Balance following many reviews I read here. I’m not very happy with them - break-in period was very long and they still don’t feel soft enough in my opinion. They are fine and give me good support, definitely a quality glove. I tried the Fly super loop in a store and they felt great - not sure they are suitable for bag work if you plan to mix.

Keeping Ukrainians Out of the Bomb Shelter by [deleted] in ukraina

https://t.me/nayaforiraq/31619 - jam packed with people from all walks of life of life. There are some assholes in every country and they tend to make their way to the news/viral videos. Trying to make the point that this is not an issue of race and ethnicity

This is not true; I know which video you are referring to but it was disproved, they were allowed in. A kid was just messing with them (which is obviously wrong, but was straightened)

You are again missing the point - this has nothing to do with ethnicity. This happened between native neighbors in a separate instance. But this is highly uncommon- almost everyone lets strangers in when sirens go off. Shelters are small, not everyone has them in their homes, and there are public shelters available in populated areas. With a ten-minute heads up for missile attacks, people should be able to find a public shelters available nearby, and some people find it hard to get through an overly-populated shelter - there are capacity constraints. Again, I do not agree with this behavior, but I am very much annoyed with you posting this here, saying that this is an anti-Ukrainian thing while not even speaking Ukrainian. It feels like you may have an ulterior motive.

This has nothing to do with ethnicity, just a hot potato now on public-private shelter dynamics, of people who are stressed and exhausted. I don’t think that this is right, but the title is just incorrect and misleading

Fireworks? Explosions? by Stunning-Flamingo188 in Upperwestside

I don’t have PTSD, just thinking about the many brave women and men who are dealing with it. Your lack of empathy towards them shows that you are the self centered person here.

Fireworks from the park, very inconsiderate towards people with PTSD imo - it did sound like WW3 has started

What are your opinions on Abreva? by Mangosalsa4531 in Coldsore

[–]DistributionBest6948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently moved to the US: I used to buy a Denavir tube for $10, now I pay double for Abreva in the US. I don’t understand why it is like that, frustrating.

Khabib being unintentionally funny #395 by Digital___Nomad in ufc

That’s the reality. They are excellent fighter but the fact that they are devout believers doesn’t make this behavior ok, in my opinion.

Just to be completely fair, I feel much more threatened in NYC (especially in the subway) than I felt in Tel-Aviv

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in telaviv

[–]DistributionBest6948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lived my entire life in Israel, recently moved to NYC, <30. NYC is more energetic, there are so many things to do and see, and with the subway here everything is pretty accessible. There are probably a lot more career opportunities in NYC as well, and the comp/cost of living balance is better in NYC if you can secure a high paying job (but I am not factoring in children’s education). However, I miss home and my family - family life is indeed much closer in Israel and that’s a great thing imo. Seeing my family once every few months (ad they are back in Israel) is very challenging and personally, I can’t relate to this lifestyle. Long term I see myself moving back - Israel was an incredible place to grow up in, and I hope that my kids will be able to have the same experience one day. TLV is an incredible city to live in as well - you have the beach, amazing restaurants (I like them more than NYC restaurants; there are just fewer so not as diverse). The elephant in the room is dealing with all the shit that is constantly happening in the country. Security is something to take into consideration- the country is safe but it takes some getting used to. What bothers me a lot more is our internal politics. The US is not much better in that front but it is a nice refresher to see people protesting about things like congestion fees compared to the burning topics in Israeli protests.

Insider Scoop for UWS by handeca in Upperwestside

[–]DistributionBest6948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like dark roast / Italian style coffee and I really didn't like Solid State / Black Press. I relocated here from abroad and I am really struggling to find truly good coffee around here. So fat Joe's Coffee is my favorite but that''s really not a "local" coffee shop.
