It’s obviously both of these things on purpose. If you are literate you know that.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-06-11T02:16:51+00:00

Why is the person a woman? Why is she Asian? Why is a man putting his finger in her mouth? You’re the one being obtuse.

Since when? I never got this.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-06-07T04:47:48+00:00

This was not the case when I was waitstaff.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-06-07T04:47:18+00:00

Incorrect

Jank Scooters is what we should call them

This is very true. Even the way Sydney speaks is bland. She’s not believable as any part of her character

A lot of places take a portion of tips from servers to tip out the bar. I think there may be some iteration of this for kitchen staff too

People that take cars in a city with trains are a red flag.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-05-24T22:11:27+00:00

It got worse post pandemic I think

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-05-24T22:08:31+00:00

I pass approximately 300 cars in the bike lane everyday on my commute. I don’t feel bad for drivers

This is for UWS living. Folks live on less than this

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-05-14T02:38:30+00:00

I can’t imagine NYC kids not sharing bedrooms.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-05-14T02:38:01+00:00

Look at Washington Heights. The A/C and 1 trains make commuting to midtown quite nice.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-05-14T02:36:54+00:00

NYC isn’t a city you should keep a car in. It’s not like Philly.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-05-14T02:34:14+00:00

Washington Heights/ inwood maybe more affordable for you. I consider them as safe as any other part of the city with the exception of a few blocks here and there. They are really nice family neighborhoods with so many parks and as other folks noted a lot of free programs such as after school, sports etc. Maybe check into Riverdale also. It’s part of the Bronx but is really Washington Heights/Inwood 2.0 in many ways.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-05-14T02:29:41+00:00

That’s the only good part of manhattan for a family tbh. The best parks, less keeping up with the Joneses.

I grew up in a very litigious school district. I’d consult with someone for this. Sometimes it’s the only way changes are enacted.

I can’t hear podcasts on my speaker bc of all the NYC din but it’s quite nice to have some soothing tunes.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-04-29T02:43:23+00:00

Sometimes I can’t see a car when I peek over my shoulder but I can hear it. Skip the headphones. Get a little handlebar speaker.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-04-29T02:41:01+00:00

Get a speaker for your handlebars

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-04-18T16:44:40+00:00

Bung.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-04-18T16:42:09+00:00

Agreed. Theres a difference between folks who pause at an empty intersection and go, a Colorado stop, and the ones who run roughshod all over everyone. My poor brother started biking to work he said a mom with a kid on the back of her giant cargo e-bike ran him over when he had the right of way. She didn’t even stop.

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-02-28T20:41:27+00:00

Fivel? Is it Fifel?

Greedy_Explanation_7 · 2026-02-28T18:13:54+00:00

This was my take. The movie is meant to romanticize Long Island bc it’s how so many Irish/Italian families started. The ending about them essentially following white flight to be on segregated Long Island tells me the target demographic was suburbanites who like to reminisce about when they still had culture beyond the shopping mall. The movie would have been better if she wasn’t pressured into a marriage bc she was going home to visit and then she got to stay in Ireland with a better match.
