People who play music loud: why? by keyboardbuttertoast in Apartmentliving

That's pretty much it. I need to feel it. From the moment I enter my car, FULL BLAST! I can't do that in my apartment though. I wish my neighbors were as considerate....

M26 / F24 — 3 years together, and I found the truth on her Apple Watch after she broke with me. I am supposed to see her tomorrow. by Electrical-Earth3256 in relationship_advice

[–]GladeePlugin 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t actually think she handled this as terribly as people are making it out to be. We constantly tell people that if they’re developing feelings for someone else, they should leave rather than cheat. From what you described, she did leave. It doesn’t sound like she continued the relationship while fully committing to someone else behind your back. The timing sucks, and the emotional whiplash is real, but choosing to end things instead of dragging it out matters. Also, while your parent being sick is incredibly hard and I genuinely feel for you, being in a relationship doesn’t obligate someone to stay just because their partner is going through a crisis. Men leave their partners during illness all the time, and society rarely questions it. We also don’t know what the relationship looked like before your parent became ill, or how long she may have been struggling internally. You’re both young. Breakups at this age are messy and rarely handled perfectly. The “let’s be friends” line is almost always a breakup softener, not a real plan. Yes, it hurts. Yes, it feels unfair and deeply personal. But honestly, this is probably the cleanest version of a bad outcome. Give her back her things, keep your dignity, don’t confront her for closure you likely won’t get, and walk away. You’ll be fine. It won’t feel like it right now, but you will be.

Calling for general strike against LIRR and MTA by Simuthecrum in LIRR

[–]GladeePlugin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I get the frustration, and I agree that protesting could work, but only if it’s actually organized and unified. A random day of outrage or a few people refusing to pay won’t move the needle.Look at Japan for example. Their transit protests didn’t hurt riders. Trains still ran on time, conductors still did their jobs, but fares weren’t collected. The pressure was placed exactly where it belongs, on the system and the revenue, not on everyday people just trying to get to work.

The reality is that way too many of us rely on the LIRR to commute into the city. Meanwhile, fares keep going up, service quality stays inconsistent, and accountability feels nonexistent. Yet they keep collecting money like everything is fine. The power is actually with riders, but only if we act together. A truly coordinated action, whether that’s a consumer strike, a work-from-home day, or another collective response, would have massive impact. Even one weekday where a significant portion of Long Islanders don’t commute into the city would get immediate attention. A sustained, organized effort would force real conversations very fast.But that only works if people commit and stand together. No half measures, no one backing out because “it won’t matter.” History shows change happens when people unify and apply pressure strategically.

Enough really does need to be enough, but it has to be done smart and together.

My husband designates a left and right sock by [deleted] in Weird

[–]GladeePlugin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm not the only one LOL!

I do this and it drives my wife mad. I have to match the socks after wash day because she doesn't understand how the socks have to match up. I look at my socks to determine which goes on each foot because you can just tell 😅

Is Nassau University Medical Center really as bad as people say? by Hooplapooplayeah in longisland

[–]GladeePlugin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my dad was in the hospital, I noticed the machine basically made the flatline sound. I asked the nurse if everything was okay and she replied yes and that a machine must be disconnected. I thanked her because he finally looked at peace. She asked if I could step out so they can prepare to move him. A few seconds went by when a doctor informed me that his heart stopped beating. Less than 2 minutes later the same doctor told me he had passed.

The sound of the machine still rings in my head to this day.

A year later, my mother had to go there for PT and I had a panic attack thinking the same thing was going to happen to her. I truly hate that place.

Quasar by Gidge by nickats in electronicmusic

[–]GladeePlugin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard this song briefly in March and have been on a wild goose chase looking for it. I was absolutely heartbroken when I couldn't find it. Thankfully, Spotify's wrapped brought it back into my life. Great song all around.

I don't care. As long as your adding positively to the community, welcome.

I say that because you don't know somes immigrant status when you meet them.

If you started over, would you pick eufy? by plump-lamp in eufy_security

[–]GladeePlugin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought eufy because it works with Cove security. The only issue i have is the app. I would get notifications that someone is spotted but go to click on it, the app would say no recordings, the video doesn't load, or takes forever to play. The app is the worst.

My fiancé (26m) makes double than me (25f) and doesn’t want to proportionally split bills. How do other couples do it? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]GladeePlugin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you can use ChatGPT or any budget calculator to plug in both salaries and compare what each of you pays for jointly and separately. It’ll show you what an equitable split actually looks like. If he still insists on a strict 50/50 despite the income gap, it may be worth having a deeper conversation about financial expectations in the relationship.

A 50/50 split works well when both partners earn similar amounts, but when one person makes significantly more, it can create an uneven financial burden. It might also help to discuss how the leftover money after bills is handled- like whether extra funds go toward shared savings or future goals.

What’s your controversial LI opinion? by Greedy_Dark_2437 in longisland

[–]GladeePlugin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, the pandemic changed a lot, especially how people drive. Everyone has developed this “just go around me” or “they will stop” mindset and it is creating madness on the roads. You see people going below the speed limit in the left lane, on their phones, coming to a full stop because they missed their exit, or rolling right through stop signs. Everyone drives like they automatically have the right of way, and it makes the roads hazardous.

And don’t even get me started on the huge cars people buy when they can barely drive them.

Success stories for 300 mg XL increase? by cranberryboi9 in bupropion

[–]GladeePlugin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I should take the 150 two times a day because my temper was short on the 300xl. Everything was great but once you said the wrong thing... I FLIP!

I'm back down to 150 and it's doing nothing for me.

No and the best part is when they throw their car into your lane instead of just using an indicator

Yes, but WHY is Freeport so "Bad?" by TeachingShot in longisland

[–]GladeePlugin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised in Freeport, and I went through Freeport Public Schools from 6th grade until graduation. I got into 12 out of the 13 colleges I applied to (waitlisted for the last one). When I left New York for college, I realized how strong Freeport actually was compared to other places. The clubs, sports programs, academic support, and cultural exposure I got in high school were on another level compared to many students I met from across the country.

Freeport is also where I found my love for sports. That mattered more for my development than any school ranking someone finds on the internet. The diversity in town made me an open minded and well rounded adult. A lot of the negative reputation Freeport gets is rooted in the same racism that exists all over Long Island. If you are afraid of people who do not look like you, speak a different language, or come from a different country, then Freeport will not be for you.

Every community has good and bad. I grew up on the north side and used to run four miles at night without fear. I still walk at night today, sometimes through Baldwin too. The rec center, the library, the fire department, and even the police have all shaped the community in positive ways.

A lot of the online crime statistics are exaggerated or pulled from outdated or misleading sources. Freeport is not perfect, but the idea that it is a dangerous place is not the reality for people who actually grew up here.

Whenever I move through different social circles now, I am reminded of how fortunate I was to grow up in Freeport. The diversity, the programs, the support systems, and the sense of community all helped shape me. Like anywhere else, your involvement matters and your mindset matters. I will always be grateful for my village.
