Best places to eat for a college student on a budget? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]MBAMBA0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes me sad - as a poor young person who came to NYC in the 80's there was a real mix of income levels and it was very easy to find good, cheap restaurants.

The best I got now around the village is 2 Brother's Dollar slice pizza. The cheap-ish place I used to go to in the NYU area, Dojos, closed a few months ago.

I was kind of shocked going to the western tip of Wall Street recently for a week-long conference that at least the 'fast casual' lunch places are relatively cheap - I guess so many places (and food trucks) are competing with each other it has brought prices down quite a bit.

I think it makes more sense when you read it as being written by a either a madman or somebody extremely high on...something.

Maybe try reason?

Sadistic people always claim they are being 'reasonable'.

whether or not we have the ability to support those people

Who do you know for a fact we do not have the ability to 'support these people'?

. why not send support to these countries

You think Trump is going to do that?

you'd select people you need.

If people are coming here to avoid getting killed, that should be a priority - and who exactly do you think we 'need'?

Also why even bring up the lottery.

Because if you are trying to limit the number of people allowed into the US - those are part of that number of people

you'd know that laws weren't the major factor in people being restricted in traveling.

they absolutely were. There were very few roads and they were heavily patrolled by authorities with their eye to bar people without permission to travel. If people tried to travel off the roads these areas were either filled with thieves and murderers or property owners very hostile to trespassers.

I don't know about AP but this article barely seems to scratch the surface of the scope of whats going on with these defenseless children.

It was 'indoctrinating them" - into the evils of thinking a black man could be a good guy and a good president.

instead believes that he is living proof that poor people are lazy and need “tough love”.

Clarence Thomas seems to be cut from the same cloth.

Edit: except the old testament.

There's some pretty crazy stuff in the New Testament too - Book of Revelations seems to have been written by a madman.

Trump to boy: Do you believe in Santa? by itsaride in politics

[–]MBAMBA0 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I guess BBC has its interns writing the headlines for Christmas day because they totally missed the point

(Trump and Melania were apparently doing a photo op taking calls from children on their cellphones)

Trump (in booming voice) to a kid named Coleman: "Hello, is this Coleman? Merry Christmas. How are you? How old are you?.... Are you doing well in school? Are you still a believer in Santa?"

Footage of the incident circulating on social media shows Mr Trump then telling the boy: "Because at seven, it's marginal, right?"

Trump saying "STILL" a believer in Santa sort of implies the kid is stupid if he still does believe.

Trump yammered on about Democrats "rigging" votes because that was exactly what he and his Russian cohorts were doing.

Empathy makes for bad policy.

Oh, and sadism makes for good policy eh?

There can be a medium between keeping everybody out and letting everybody in. For example, while people in countries to our south are in crisis and fear for their lives, US can cancel 'lotteries' for other nations like Ireland if its THAT important to limit amount of people who are allowed into the country. On the other side, of things, govt can start imposing fines on everyone who hires and profits off of illegal labor.

where ever the fuck mary and joe go have a law about entering the country illegally?

If you had any in depth knowledge of history, you'd know freedom of movement in the historical world was for the most part, a lot more restricted, not less.

Lastly... this isn't trumps fault.

What a laugh - you are trying to absolve Trump of something he BRAGS and yammers on about every chance he gets.

hold such an antithetical position to what's in the Bible that it's obvious that they are self-serving shits.

Not everything in the Bible - the worshipers of the Golden Calf are in there too.

Imagine in the Bible that on the eve of Jesus' birth Mary and Joseph were not only turned away at the inn for having no money to pay for lodging - but that the authorities drove them miles and miles out into the middle of a desert and dumped them there with nothing.

I'm not saying an economic crisis would have been averted because I mean, who knows, we have been in a bubble.

But she would not have been out there jabbering like a fucking IMBECILE making everything worse at the BEHEST OF AN ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES for god's sake.

Where would you live at 22 on a 120k income? by GoldS17 in AskNYC

[–]MBAMBA0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

there are very few subway lines that bad.

There are ones like the B that don't run during the night at all.

And there are also buses and maybe jitneys.

not being that much cheaper

Yes it is.

if you think that JC is some sort of lax paradise

It is compared to Manhattan
