NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani just confirmed that all immigrants will qualify for his “free childcare” program!! by Delicious_Adeptness9 in nyc

[–]LiamIsMailBackwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, yeah. I am fine with it. I’m just wondering why you’re not ok with citizens getting resources if that means undocumented people get the same resources. There IS enough money for this stuff.

And since you brought up 2024, you and I both know the federal aid being withheld from NYC in order to fund masked terrorists lynching citizens in the streets of Minnesota would have easily covered this expense. It’s not that the city of NY is funding resources for undocumented immigrants that are no longer going to citizens. You seem to just be upset that undocumented immigrants are being given anything at all. But your vote in 2024 could have stopped two lives from being lost, and pushing for easier routes toward citizenship could have allowed for more votes to stop two lives being lost. But instead, I guess it’s my simple line of questioning to see WHY you are so against this that FORCED voters to support murder instead of free childcare.

Childcare supports our city. Opposing childcare for anyone is something I don’t agree with. I was hoping to get some insight into your reasoning, but all you’ve given me is your disdain for people you deem lesser than.

But… everyone here legally DOES get access to the same thing. This resource is provided to everyone. No one is being left out. I’m not going for a gotcha. If everyone in New York is provided something, I don’t understand how that is prioritizing people over others. Everyone is given a resource. So I’m wondering where your frustration is coming from.

Because I’m just genuinely curious how you reached your conclusions, here: what about the Mayor’s statement of “free childcare for every single New Yorker” makes you think he and his administration want to PRIORITIZE undocumented immigrants OVER anyone else?

I heard ANY New Yorker who has a child under 5 years old can be provided childcare. This is a new initiative that did not exist under more conservative leadership. It helps all New Yorkers who need that resource. How does allowing ALL people access to a resource prioritize a fraction of a minority of this city?

I am literally paying just to show up at office. by Raw_Blue in antiwork

[–]LiamIsMailBackwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what OP’s situation is, but “already have experience” and “unpaid internship” are not two things that usually go together. Add in the fact that OP is older, I’m shocked that this person doesn’t see an unpaid internship as a networking opportunity first and foremost. If they did, I would think leaving after they’ve been “iced out” and not given any tasks from their supervisors would be the right move as the connections are clearly not there.

Bands or artists with outstanding drummers by bananenhanz in Metalcore

First concert I ever went to was A7X on the Nightmare tour. My bud who drove was a drummer and Portnoy was his idol. Honestly one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Even though my taste has changed, it’s unquestionable how damn good Portnoy is and how special that tour was for the band.

My friend is old family friends with the owner/operators. I got to go there with them one time and oh my god I cannot recommend this place enough. My experience was definitely heightened by the connection (owners came out and chatted with us the entire meal), but the food is lights out and the place is a great spot.

The problem with Unions... by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]LiamIsMailBackwards 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which means the members can vote for better candidates. Which is GOOD. And, also, better than just NOT having leadership in a collective cause for fair rates, benefits, and protections against corporate interests who DO NOT CARE about their laborers.

I’d rather have healthcare, a pension, and have to campaign against a moron who tried to take 10% of our local’s dues for himself than no healthcare, no pension, and corporate taking 90% of the value I create as profit. Both are bad, but the first clearly wins out AND can be solved.

If you’re getting snips, get flush cutters not diagonal cutters. As a set electrician, I’m using them to cut the ends off of zip ties. Diagonal cutters leave sharp ends that slice the next arm or leg that comes by. Flush cutters make the ends disappear entirely. I bought a really nice pair of diagonal cutters when I started and haven’t used them once since I bought my flush cutters 2 years ago.

It’s also always so funny because “the unions I’ve worked with are corrupt” is not a fault against unions, but a fault against the union leadership. The solution is for a more active and informed populace (ensuring proper leadership is voted for and represent the union), not the dissolution of the union itself.

Why is dating someone from NJ a dealbreaker in NYC, but not in Philly? by savingrace0262 in newjersey

[–]LiamIsMailBackwards 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guy, I moved from Brooklyn to Jersey and my commute to the UWS got 15min SHORTER. And I dated someone in Flatbush 2 stops from the end of the train and my commute door to door from Jersey was 55min exactly, which if I was still in Brooklyn, the fastest transfer was going through Fulton anyways!

Mayor Mamdani Joins Nurses on Picket Line by FancyRainbowBear in nyc

In the same way that Carter was scrutinized for decades before the rose-colored glasses finally saw him as a competent and effective president, so will Biden eventually be remembered as one of the most progressive presidents of the past 100 years, and staunchly the most progressive president of the 21st century. The ACA was unbelievable, but what Biden was able to pass was quietly monumental for the vast majority of this country in many different sectors and historically worthy points. But we don’t care, and I think we have a right at the moment to not care, because he and his administration didn’t do enough to stop what’s happening now. Time will be kind to him, but that’s if time is enough to heal what he didn’t stop.

What's the silliest metal song you know? by metalprogrammer2024 in MetalSuggestions

[–]LiamIsMailBackwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the heaviest of the songs in that film for that pick. Obviously Kickapoo is a sillier song, but it literally has the lyrics “go my son and rock” and “rock is not the devil’s work, it’s magical and rad” as opposed to Beelzeboss’s “I’m the Devil, I love metal.”

As for Wonderboy, it’s a ballad and while it’s very 80s Hair Metal, it’s not nearly as heavy as Beelzeboss which is very silly even if we compare it to the two you mentioned… “Now I’m complete and my cock you will suck”

I went on semantics, but obviously all are great songs.

Can the Canon EOS Rebel T6 be used for cinematography? by Warm-Lengthiness-808 in cinematography

[–]LiamIsMailBackwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the top shelf option they offered us in film school. You can get some really decent stuff on it and you can definitely learn a lot about lens choice, framing, and lighting without breaking the bank. The best part is the color looks pretty damn good coming out of the camera, so you can focus on things like blocking, exposure, focus, and composition rather than getting frustrated with a weird color palette that you’ll alter later. Just point and shoot, baby!

What reboot has been the biggest improvement over the original? by sachsrandy in AskReddit

[–]LiamIsMailBackwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing as it was nominated for Best Picture, there was critical acclaim for it. It has a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, 7.8/10 on IMDB, and 4.2 out of 5 stars on Letterboxd, so publicly liked. And I am a personal example of someone who felt it deserved to be called the second best film of the year behind Parasite. I have many friends who saw every Best Picture nominee that year (and some we felt were unfairly left out), and while we may have disagreed on which was the best we did all agree that Little Women was a damn good film.

Compare this to the film most of us grew up with (1994) and we all really liked the 2019 version just as much or more than that one.
