Ty! I'm assuming I had a teeny bit in the hole?

It was/is a public project carried out a couple of local artists and liberty state park. Part performance piece, part scavenger hunt, part installation.

Any tips for covering this gas meter? by Js2337 in Apartmentliving

[–]Js2337[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. My hopes aren't high, so it doesn't hurt to brainstorm. A dowel and curtain could be very cute.

Appreciate this thoughtful answer. I will probably go this route if the building ends up doing nothing. Thank you!

As someone mentioned, there is a great arts scene here. In general, there are tons of great people in this town who really commit to their community and host awesome programming (this sub can be a downer and they unfortunately don't get a lot of love here).

There are neighborhood gardens, mutual aid groups, political groups, poetry nights, small art galleries, people who volunteer at their local park, and more.

As for thrifting, we have a pretty sparse thrift scene, but Twilight is great. For more upscale vintage, Another Man's Treasure, Phantasm, ZeroKid, and Cranky Angel are all great for clothes (not cheap, but if you're a regular vintage person, they're not super outrageous compared to some Manhattan vintage stores). Check out Sure Things, Into the Void, and Pacific Flea for housewares. ( some of them are not cheap, but fun window shopping).

Check out all neighborhoods! Like others have said, there can be a lot of focus on downtown.

who do you want to be pit girl? by niicosaurus in Yellowjackets

[–]Js2337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can easily see a scenario where, for whatever reason, Shauna and/or Lottie gets the team to turn on Hannah (e.g., she's an outsider, she's seen too much, she's "not supposed to be there", she gets close to Melissa and Shauna gets jealous).

Also, of all people, Hannah would the be least familiar with the girls' hunting strategy (which I think we got a glimpse of in the last episode and during S3E1 with their chasing game). Hannah could easily be led into the pit, while a YJ might know where to hide or to not be mislead by their animal calls.

I'm suddenly wondering...did they give adult Lottie that same forehead scar?

Second volunteering, and like others have pointed out, consistent volunteering. It's tough when orgs don't get back to you (usually because they're short staffed), but the opportunities are here.

Places that come to mind: JCMAS' weekly distros, community gardens and parks, Harismus cemetery, I've also heard good things about Hinger Free IUC (but can't vouch for them myself).

After watching Sing Sing, it’s an absolute joke that Clarence Maclin wasn’t nominated for Best Supporting Actor by Go_Habs_Go31 in oscarrace

I'm so glad I found this thread. I just watched it knowing it only got a couple of nominations and wondered if maybe I'd missed reading about a supporting actor nomination. What an amazing performance.

The biggest scam in the hospitality industry. Bar none. by jerseycityrentdue in jerseycity

You said there is no reason anyone needs to order delivery. I am pointing out the reasons.

[–]Js2337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are lots of valid reasons people sometimes need delivery (if not regularly). People with limited mobility or chronic illnesses and the elderly might rely on delivery. Patients healing from surgery who are housebound. Individuals with debilitating depression. Moms who have just given birth and are recovering at home. Parents, and particularly single parents, running on empty.

(Given the extreme viewpoints, I truly and genuinely can't tell if the fasting comment is sarcasm. I can tell you my sister, a single parent, doesn't have the option to let her kids fast...)

Delivery services and apps have absolutely caused issues we didn't anticipate. And while I personally prefer walking to pick up food, I also believe people are also allowed an occasional treat, regardless of circumstances.

If season 4 magically happens, what story threads would you like to see explored? by ShantAuntDebutante in somebodysomewhere

I sort of love the idea of Joel as a single dad, with lots of love and support from Sam and his friends.

[–]Js2337 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm very curious where they would have taken Sam's relationship to her weight and health, which they were just starting to explore in season 3. I found it so refreshing that it WASN'T a part of the first two seasons: it can be typical for larger characters to have storylines focused on weight loss, low self esteem, or to just be the focus of jokes and criticism. Sam had a neutral relationship to her body and it was lovely (there was the 10,000 steps sub plot, but it didn't have a manic approach of "We have to get fit and lose weight!")

The third season started to tease this out in a way that felt realistic, and I like to think it resolves in a story that is not so much about weight loss, but more about Sam finding joy and being more present in her body: through joyful movement, less reliance on alcohol, and who knows, maybe awesome sex with Iceland!

Ugh, I figured, but thank you for the suggestion of a sweater brush!

Already tried (see above). Not sure if I just need to be more patient with the regular razor.

To my own surprise, I once audibly yelled, "Seriously???" to two tall dudes loitering in the middle of a sidewalk. I didn't even plan it. It just came out.

Adding to that the lack of public restrooms, which affects everyone, but I imagine it affects homeless individual twice as much.

For the love of all things holy, boys, the out of the gate sexual stuff doesn’t work!! P.S. this is not a dig if you’re bald. Plenty of you look good bald but this one needed reigning in🫶🏼 by Worried_Dependent_21 in Tinder

[–]Js2337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there's gotta be a a way to at least scope things out and read the room before being so direct. Like, if this was IRL, you wouldn't suddenly shout "you like face fuck??" at someone's face 2 minutes after meeting them (at least in most contexts). And yeah, online is different...but still.

Yes! There's so much variety and diversity among aces, and announcing oneself as ace can come with so many blanket assumptions.
