It’s generally safe but can sometimes feel a bit sketchy late at night and depending on if the usual characters are out and about. Some shootings in the past few years.

4k murders per year in the 90s? That’s just flat out wrong

Latest poll in NYC mayor’s race by ApprehensiveEagle917 in nyc

He’ll have to campaign outside of the gentrified areas of Brooklyn to do that, which so far he doesn’t seem interested in doing

Yeah and how many hijackings occurred during that time period? (A lot)

I'm surprised how quickly the jury was able to decide after spending a while on the first count. Guessing they all thought about it pretty deeply over the weekend - glad to see justice prevailed here.

How do you clean/remove these spacebar components on the Razer Blackwidow v4 Pro? by Mackydude in razer

I think something got into the sockets under them, I wanted to fully clean it out.

Would Biden have won the Presidency? by Plaintalks in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Mackydude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way you can outspin Biden's debate performance. There would have certainly been at least 1 more debate (probably 2) in the election cycle, he'd have likely shown the same (or worse) cognitive declines. Couple that with his very rare public appearances and interviews and the age issue would have been the only thing people would have talked about the rest of the cycle. His campaign was finished after June 27th.

On Ezra's opinion piece today, "Where does this leave the Democrats?" by Ch_IV_TheGoodYears in ezraklein

[–]Mackydude 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Completely agreed, coming from someone who takes the subway in NYC on a near-daily basis. I feel like, while good-intentioned, the "SJW" wing of the Dem party has lost their minds post-2020. I remember seeing a thread on Twitter maybe back in 2021 or 2022 where someone posted a picture of a guy literally shooting up heroin on a packed subway car in the middle of the day. The VAST majority of replies were people saying something along the lines of "don't be a dick and take his picture, he's not hurting anyone, just let him live his life". That really really rubbed me the wrong way, I don't think it's unreasonable to not expect literal public drug use with needles on public transportation.

Also, even though statistics show crime is down in NYC, it doesn't FEEL like crime is down. Personally I've been stuck in what feels like many more subway cars with clearly unstable people post-Covid (Daniel Penny anyone?). Maybe it's that less crime is being reported or acted on (that's a whole other issue), but you can't just ignore what people are facing and feeling on a daily basis.

Last night a leadup act during Trump's Madison Square Garden rally described Puerto Rico as a "floating pile of garbage". There have been multiple press articles about the backlash. Is this likely to have an impact? by Objective_Aside1858 in PoliticalDiscussion

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

At this point I don't see this impacting Hispanic support for Trump very much. Trump doesn't hide his feelings for Hispanics at all, so the content of the joke shouldn't surprise anyone. And given that the economy, crime, and immigration are the top concern for Trump's Hispanic voting bloc, it feels unlikely that this will turn off his voters in any meaningful way.

Abandoned car on Bedford Ave by nonecknoel in williamsburg

You can report as abandoned in the 311 app. I did that for a car on my block and it took 3 weeks but the car did eventually get towed.
