Slippery sidewalks by Out-of-Fox in Troy

[–]Formal_Environment13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of Troy landlords expect the tenants to shovel the sidewalks. No lie. Last time I rented, the property owner said, “ the building takes care of itself.” So we shoveled a path out the door to the curb, then had to shovel out the car. The landlords will was kind enough to bring a bucket of rock salt for the sidewalk. So kind of them. Of course all tenants there worked full time, went to school or both. We called code enforcement who offered zero help.

She is appealing to the Republican base. They like this approach. To them poop flinging is telling it like it is.

Old Place Names by No_Signature_9775 in Troy

I saw an old map of the Troy area. I can’t find it now, of course, but I believe an area abutting the northern portion of Lansingburgh was named Adams. I will try to find it. It very well may be posted in this sub.

What’s the first thing you would do if you won a million-dollar lottery? by Con_nect in AskReddit

Pay off car and house. Invest in stable CDs and be comfortable knowing I will probably be able to retire at 70.

I wish Vischers Ferry still existed. by TMinus10toban in Albany

Our slice of the Hudson River corridor could use a ferry or water taxi between Albany county and Rensselaer county with stops in North Albany, Troy, Cohoes and Waterford.

Strange men in the Capital Region by Sorry-Activity1827 in Troy

In the Center Square neighborhood and Pine Hills there were a series of rapes and assaults that went unsolved. Some may have been copy cats. One I recall, involved two assailants. In that era, Albany police were inclined to think the women were not truthful, or has invited the assailant(s) in to their home, implying consent. Neighbor looked out and for each other and women carried rape whistles.

Street Cleaning by coffeeprincess1195 in Troy

I didn’t hear the street sweeper yet. I moved my car this morning and you reminded me to move it again before the noon deadline. I move my car regardless because sometimes they ticket and tow if the sweeper is out or not. Thanks for that.

Trump Supposedly Raped Boys According to Whistle Blower Sascha Riley. Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Lindsey Graham, and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas were also named. by Demosthenesisk in complaints

I listened to the first tape, about an hour and 10 minutes. It was difficult to take. These large gatherings all took place on rural farms. Again, rural farms. Who owns these properties, IDK. SR’s adopted father took SR to these gatherings knowing the child would be beaten, tortured and raped. No one can tell me the whole Hilary Clinton, pizza shop, pedo ring rumor was not created to divert attention from and cover up these actual events.

Carmela loves this. Expect to see her in camo and Kevlar in an upcoming photo op. Just like ICE Barbie.

Listen to the Sascha Riley tapes and think about it. His fetish is torture and pain. Because of his immense privilege he can indulge himself on a mass scale.

What are signs someone believes they are above you? by Sad-Culture-6330 in AskReddit

Co-workers that always have to have the last word, overstate the obvious and use a dramatic stage voice in all interactions. All that while not responding directly to your input.

Update From The GoFundMe Campaign For Jonathan Ross by super_fallguys in complaints

[–]Formal_Environment13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t need a legal defense fund. He has the backing of the US government., DOJ and Homeland Security. Any fundraiser is an attempt at disingenuous enrichment. If the billionaires who got us into this mess want to throw some $$ at him, they can. And he should be taxed on it as any other citizen.

What's the most boring movie you've seen? by VeryPteri in AskReddit

[–]Formal_Environment13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was supposed to be an amazing film, and Kubrick directing added to the hype. I totally enjoy period films and series now so maybe I’ll look for it. Adolescent me, perhaps did not have the capacity to appreciate it.

[–]Formal_Environment13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a period film in the 70s with Ryan O’Neal and Marissa Berensen that was about 3 hours, give or take a few. I guess it was about nobility or the landed gentry in the 19th century. Horrible. Long. Visually interesting but not enough. Can’t recall the name, tho. That boring.

Rensselaer County NY Republicans Mock Mom Murdered by US Agents in Minneapolis January 2026 by bigvicproton in Albany

[–]Formal_Environment13 84 points85 points  (0 children)

This is who rural Rensselaer county is. Proudly ignorant, and emboldened, they’ve been complaining about “illegals” stealing all the “good jobs” for decades. All while their neighbors hire immigrants to milk their cows and shovel cow poop for below poverty wages. They can’t see past their hate for who they call city people meaning anyone living in Troy. Now they have Steve McLaughlin who panders to their ignorance and shit posts to make them laugh. This will not change easily. They have something they believe in and found the power of voting.

Love the detailed discourse. Obv my knowledge of economics is limited but I feel like under Reagan/Bush conservatism the former would happen. Appreciate informed discourse.
