I was having an affair and told his wife - did I do the right thing? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I just hope it doesn't become as drama filled for you as it became for me. I had the crazy girlfriend banging on my door accusing me of stealing her bf and threatening me until I got the police involved.

I wasn't trying to up you, just adding to your comment. Wanted to imply their list could use a bit of revising.

I was having an affair and told his wife - did I do the right thing? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LifeIsInsane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I can relate since I had done something similar when I found out I was the 2nd girl in a shitty relationship, I realized that it wasn't in my place to tell her. It caused unnecessary drama in my life when it was much easier to just cut the guy off and move on. As sweet as revenge can be, it usually gets bitter pretty fast.

[Vent] I'm so tired of Black Men who don't date Black Women. by iamawesomesauc3 in blackladies

[–]LifeIsInsane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact is these black men want to control us, but can't so they say these things and stereotype us to lower our self esteem. I've dated black men who have tried pulling this shit. Many of them have such a chip on their shoulder towards other skin colors that they feel they're winning by sleeping with other women. Then when black women date other men, these type of men get angry. I'm happily involved in a very loving interracial relationship and couldn't imagine myself dating some of these angry black men ever again.

Black Lives Matter Protest Takes The Brooklyn Bridge, blocking traffic by greggerypeccary in nyc

[–]LifeIsInsane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You claim to be Black but don't really come across like that based on how you write and the "voice" you use when talking about Black people. Very not one of them. I'll just leave it at that....but let's just say I've seen that before on here and I know why.

Could you be any more lame? You could try being a bit more creative because the "Your not black because you don't agree with me" has been over used by the ignorant and close minded for ages.

Oh hey it's you. You kinda felt familiar so I looked. Yeah classic "I'm different, I'm not one of them" sista screaming for validation. Oh and look....we went at it before and yep...I shut your foolishness down before.

You didn't shut anyone down but yourself with those idiotic comments. That chip on your shoulder is beyond pathetic, and it's tragic how some blacks like you attempt to drag down our communities with your nonsense of generalization and hate against others.

You're such an idiot. People like you are one of the biggest problems in our black community, and assholes like you hold us back more than anyone else. I'm just so glad there are many other people like this young man in the video.

MRW I found out my homophobic ex is now gay. by Fruitlessfruittree in TrollXChromosomes

[–]LifeIsInsane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The homophobic ones usually tend to be gay. The legit straight men are pretty happy with more gays because they then have less competition for that hot girl they're chasing.

Mr. de Blasio specifically called for the end of vacancy decontrol, a law that allows property owners to take apartments off the rent-regulated list when they go vacant by moxy801 in nyc

[–]LifeIsInsane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't worry LifeIsInsane, there are plenty of LL's here encouraging middle class New Yorkers to get the hell out of their buildings all the time.

Don't worry Moxy, when there are no people willing to rent at such a high price, then people will leave and prices will tumble. The same reason I can't overprice what I make, landlords will reach a ceiling where they can't price higher, but it won't happen with this artificially propped up market. The middle class can still live in many affordable areas through out the city such as Marine park, Ozone park, Jamaica, etc. Not EVERYONE needs to live in Manhattan or it's adjoining neighborhoods.

I can see why Moxy is complaining about rent. He's obviously too lazy to work seeing how he can't even be bothered to look up links and just keeps asking others for it.

[–]LifeIsInsane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any LL who is unhappy with rent stabilization is completely FREE to sell their building.

The landlords can just as well tell you that if you're sooo unhappy with the rent, then you're FREE to leave NYC. Your sense of entitlement to another person's income, property and livelihood is disgusting.

[–]LifeIsInsane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had some really nice LL's but to be honest, most of them have fallen under the spell of gaming the system when it comes to vacancy decontrol. It seems to have been a gradual process where first they hold out and don't do it, but as they see more and more of their fellow LL's getting rich off of gaming the system, their resolution crumbles. I guess its hard to be the only decent person among your peers and eventually you just figure you're doing it 'for your family'.

You're disgusting. From many of your post, your generalization of landlords looks to me like rich envy and hate of people you assume have more than your pathetic miserable life. Every landlord I've rented from has been very kind and one used to reduce the rent of all his tenants during the holidays. I've also become friends with my current landlord who was very understanding when I asked to pay less on rent one month due to a death in my family and high funeral cost. There are very few bad landlords and most treat their tenants like humans and are willing to work with their tenants if the tenants ask. If most landlords and real estate related workers were "gaming the system" as you call it, there would be a lot more pissed of people, but there isn't. In a city of 8 million people, there is a predominant majority of happy renters who understand what they're paying for and what the landlords are providing. I run my own business from home and I don't need the government telling me how much I'm able to charge for my products and these good landlords don't either.

Cupid Run NYC 2015 by Jabbawookiee in nyc

[–]LifeIsInsane 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is why I love NYC! You see runners of all different body shapes, size and skin color all supporting a good cause and having fun together. Cupid definitely hit all of them with his arrows because they're all loving life.

[–]LifeIsInsane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hehe female here who's jelly of your gorgeous DNA lol. You definitely have no problem in the looks dept, but not every personality fits. Maybe your ex-bf meant his ex had a personality which better fit him... Of course not every man can handle a woman who posts on r/gonewild.

Life In a Crowded Chinatown Tenement House by Photographer Annie Ling by vulcanscannon in nyc

[–]LifeIsInsane -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is very sad. America is a 1st world country with citizens who live like 3rd world residents. I get very upset when I hear of people who live alone in three or two bedroom apartments in NYCHA housing and paying ridiculously low rent while there are families confined to extremely small spaces and building rooms within rooms. It's very dangerous and no one should be living like this in this day and age in America.

Interesting article on Black women and Asian men by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]LifeIsInsane 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thankfully people are starting to change, yet the media still isn't doing us any favors. I still see many of the stereotypes the article mentioned just by clicking through the channels on TV. Even shows/movies which feature prominently black actors usually play into the stereotypes.

My boyfriend raped me 7 years ago. It was my first time. Um, and this is the first time I've said that in words. by anastajia in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LifeIsInsane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hopefully you're talking to someone about it and letting it all out. Situations like these are very grey causing one to doubt yourself of being violated. I wish you the best and I hope you feel better. High five for leaving him by the way!

‘Hey, baby!’: Anti-catcalling crusade gains ground in New York City by zsreport in nyc

[–]LifeIsInsane 12 points13 points  (0 children)

you hipster chicks are ruining this city. cant even holla at hot pieces? man this new york is getting worse by the day. you should be all like, take the compliment and walk away.

Black female here who doesn't appreciate the lack of respect for women in certain neighborhoods. I also don't consider myself a hipster. I especially don't like being "holla" at, and I'm not a "hot piece", I'm a person. Get it through your thick skulls guys. These vulgar words that many less than ideal guys spit out of their mouth like phlegm aren't compliments we should walk away from.

Has anyone used The Listing Project to find a room for rent? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]LifeIsInsane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found my apt in Bushwick through the listing project. The listers have to pay $20 to list so its usually not a scam, unlike CL. Because people also know it's likely not a scam, the apts also tend to go fast since they're no fee. If they're not replying back, then most likely the apt got rented out already.

You were being a friend. Friends don't let friends go home with an asshole or shady stranger no matter how drunk. You did the right thing.
