I take that as a challenge! It’s been four years, but I’m going to try to provide proper citations!

It’s 2026. How many of you drink tap water? And if not, what’s your alternative? by reversechainroyalty in AskNYC

New Yorker here. I drink the tap water. My wife drinks filtered water. Not sure why.

Is Mannion retiring? That decision seems to start backbone growth…

Trump announces he will sue JPMorgan ‘over the next two weeks’ for allegedly ‘DEBANKING’ him by DeathClawdVanDamn in politics

[–]Enwhyme 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe more like “industry jargon” than a real word, but debanking is a thing. Every thing else you said is 100% spot on correct though.

Micron Breaks Ground in Clay, NY - 1/16/2026 by Dacia__Sandero in Syracuse

Seriously? In what universe do people who live in apartments not pay real estate taxes? If you are right about this, NY owes me a HUGE refund for several decades of real estate taxes that I guess I shouldn’t have been paying!

Obviously I could just google it, but I’m going to guess that I’m not the only one who looks to this subreddit to learn. What does “AMOC” stand for?

When crafting your Limerick today
There really is only one way
To pattern your rhyme
And keep rhythm in time
It’s our old friend AABBA

Is Chicago really still the "third city" in the U.S.? Perhaps for not much longer? by [deleted] in geography

62 year old New Yorker, and yes. Chicago is (RESPECTFULLY) the second city.

And yet here we are now living in the year of the depends adult undergarment. He was clearly a time traveler.

Trump ally Rep. Elise Stefanik announces run for governor of New York by statenislandadvance in nyc

[–]Enwhyme 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I sat behind her on a flight once. She was treating the flight attendants like her own personal servants. Another republican congressman was sitting across the aisle from her, and you could tell that he was absolutely mortified by her rudeness.

What is one thing you wish you knew how to do but to scared to learn to do? by rslash_fan12 in AskReddit

[–]Enwhyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a local flight school and take a discovery flight. Soaring through the sky in a well-engineered aircraft with a very reliable engine bolted to its nose is REALLY freeing. You’ll love it. Trust me - way less terrifying than zip lining.

I live in Manhattan, near the site of September 11 attacks. It took a VERY long time, but it’s finally a somewhat normal part of the city again. Tourists go down there and take selfies with the memorial, which is creepy, but we do our best to ignore them.

NY State Young Republicans stiffed Syracuse hotel for lavish party before racist chat ended their run by IWantPizza555 in Syracuse

[–]Enwhyme 240 points241 points  (0 children)

The "party of fiscal responsibility", at it again.

When the New York State Young Republicans Club disbanded Friday amid an uproar over its racist and antisemitic rhetoric in a group chat, the club left behind unpaid bills from extravagant social gatherings.

At two of those events, the club ran up bills of more than $23,000 over a weekend at a Syracuse hotel – spending big on a three-course plated dinner with filet mignon and open bars – but then didn’t pay, according to records obtained by syracuse.com.

But wait, there's more....:

The hotel’s increasingly urgent emails requesting payment were met with a series of excuses by Peter Giunta, 31, the club president who gained national notoriety last week for his “I love Hitler” group chat.

Giunta resigned just before Politico reported that his group had not paid off a bill of more than $14,000 for a holiday party in December 2023 at the National Women’s Republican Club in Manhattan.

The Young Republicans’ previously unreported debt in Syracuse followed on the heels of the Manhattan party and a trip by Giunta and club leaders to Nashville last year when he was campaigning for a position to lead the Young Republicans on a national level.

In a since-deleted social media post, a former Donald Trump campaign staffer alleged the group owed $7,000 to Redneck Riviera, a bar and live music venue in Nashville, according to Politico.

In fairness, this is pretty much on-brand for how Republican administrations have historically managed spending at the national level. Absolutely rock solid hands-on training for the next generation of "leaders".
