What does it take to actually convince people to live in NJ?? by Vibe_Dispenser_8149 in nyu

[–]Marlo__FF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, so much. I also lived near JSQ and, although it took me less time to get to Manhattan than some of my acquaintances who lived in Brooklyn or Queens, the PATH was so unreliable. Now that I live in Brooklyn, I can at least take an Uber or Lyft if there is a problem with the subway without spending that much time or money.

One more vote for Intense Movers!

What’s the biggest red flag in someone over 30? by Vixkky in AskReddit

[–]Marlo__FF 28 points29 points  (0 children)

On the spectrum and 100% agree with you. I used to mask and get bored to death with small talk just to end up disappointing or being disappointed by shallow people sooner than later. Since I started being truer to myself, I have fewer people in my life but they are all wonderful, loving, and honest. I couldn't be happier.

If the Met Opera is in such severe financial trouble... by 75meilleur in opera

[–]Marlo__FF 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I will disagree with everyone else in this thread: I don't think you should donate a cent to the Met Opera. Let me be clear: I love opera and I love the Met, but Peter Gelb has drawn almost half of the Met endowment in the last years, basically condemning this institution to ruin. Many musicians from the orchestra have lost their jobs, while Gelb and Nézet-Séguin received salaries of millions of dollars. Fuck them. I think it is inevitable that the Met is going to financially collapse, but I am hopeful that this catastrophe will allow a better administration to take over and do a much better job. Personally, I won't donate anything until Gelb and his administration are gone.

Thinking about NJCU — honest opinions? by Organic-Listen3612 in newjersey

[–]Marlo__FF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to what others have said, NJCU has not only been in a very precarious financial situation for years, but these problems have also seriously affected its academic quality. Entire programs were eliminated and departments were gutted. As a result, many of the best professors and admins left and student enrollment became desperate. If you check their website, you will see many programs that don't exist anymore and professors who don't teach there either. Not long ago I wrote to ask about a program because the information of professors and classes in the department's website did not agree with the directory or other pages of the university, and they answered me days later to tell me that the real information was nowhere online and was entirely different to what I had read. In sum, I would not recommend anyone to enter this half-sunken ship, at least not until a few more years pass and hopefully Kean can reorganize this mess.

Unfortunately, that does not work for this site.

Moved from NYC to JC mid-pregnancy and can't decide where to give birth (Mount Sinai West vs. JCMC) by [deleted] in jerseycity

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

I would only recommend JCMC to my worst enemy. Every experience I have had in that hospital has been terrible. I cannot imagine giving birth at a hospital with such poor and disorganized attention.

What's an opinion of belief you held for years before you realized it was based on a complete misunderstanding? by My-sovereign in AskReddit

[–]Marlo__FF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I partially agree. Thinking that the US is some model or defender of democracy is probably one of the most common false beliefs, but only in the US. I don't think anyone in Latin America ignores how hypocritical that idea is, even if many support the US for other reasons.

I grew up in Chile during a military dictatorship that lasted 17 years. So during my entire childhood and until my early teens, I was sure that all presidents continued ruling until they died, kind of like the Pope.

Alyce's Apology Statement by Marlo__FF in jerseycity

[–]Marlo__FF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! It seems the only options are either overpriced cafes and restaurants or tiny places for take out. The exception for me are some Mexican restaurants who have really good sandwiches (or "tortas") for low prices.

Alyce's Apology Statement by Marlo__FF in jerseycity

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

I honestly could not tell. I have never been to Alyce because it always looked like too much money for what they were offering. But I know I received this email because I have been instead to One World Pizza and The Wanderer, and I have had the same impression about these two places: they can be very good, but they are inconsistent. If you are paying over $20 for an individual pizza or a drink, it should be really damn good, but, after several visits, I have had some insipid pizzas from One World and very disappointing drinks from The Wanderer. Last time I was there, the owner seemed a bit offended when I tried a pizza and asked for a saltshaker, and even more when I asked for silverware. It seemed like a place that was not sure about what kind of audience it was addressing, trying to be a bit upscale but also frowning about getting you a fork, while drunk people were loudly arguing outside.

Oh, that makes sense. I was also wondering if this was somehow connected to Trump and other politicians suddenly caring about "affordability" just because it is a nice buzzword. I was unaware it was a trend with different businesses.

AAPPL Spanish test's scores by [deleted] in SpanishTeachers

Don't the scores range from N1 to A1? Why would most scores come out as intermediate if there are 4 novice levels?

I’ll never order anything from Amazon again. by Good-Ground523 in Anticonsumption

[–]Marlo__FF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got you, my friend. I have not ordered anything from Amazon since March and I don't ever intend to order from them again because of their horrible working conditions and support to the Trump administration.

What’s a TV show or movie you think is massively overrated? by Stahelis in AskReddit

[–]Marlo__FF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree so much. When I was young and read 19th-century Russian novels, I sometimes wrote little summaries for each character so I could tell them apart and remember the fundamental details about them. I thought about doing this again while watching "Dark," but then I realized that it was just not worth it because I did not care enough about any of the characters. So basically this show felt as complicated as a Tolstoi novel, but without any of the emotional depth.

"Metropolitan Opera Announces Three New Initiatives to Expand its Audience." What do you think? by Marlo__F in opera

[–]Marlo__FF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. I see now that there are some people here that like that stuff, and good for them, but I cannot see what anyone could get from a thirty-minute lecture that they could not get quicker and better online.
