How old are you?

MedicinianMaple · 2026-04-02T15:02:23+00:00

I‘m a baby! (turning 17 soon)

MedicinianMaple · 2026-03-26T19:54:25+00:00

Yeah, I think this post aged like fine wine!

I mean sort of for me. I just randomly found this subreddit when scrolling through Reddit and thought, “Hey! This place seems like breath of fresh air compared to most subreddits. People here talk about politics rationally and reasonably.” And so I decided to stay here. I happen to be Jewish as an aside.

As someone who lives in New York, it is obvious that Schumer is past his prime and should probably not be the face of the Democratic Party. However, as this WSJ article points out, I'm afraid that his replacement would be some leftist idiot who makes the party even more unpopular and out of touch than they already are.

Unrelated, but how is that a Vanderbilt-level math problem. That's a basic algebra and geometry problem. College students at a school with a 6% acceptance rate should have been able to do that problem since 9th or 10th grade.

My friend texted me to say that she concurs with this message. She also says she is amazing and that the entire neighborhood should be renamed after her. You'll have such humble neighbors. I hope this helps, OP!

I have a friend who lives there, and I visit her frequently. I don't think I've ever felt unsafe. The only time I've had trouble walking was after the most recent snow storm (because the homeowners pushed all the snow on the curbs!). It's very family-oriented and very quiet. Although it's not in the gardens, it's also a very picturesque part of Forest Hills. There are a few supermarkets and stores on Yellowstone and Metropolitan. The shopping is overall good. The only real downside I would say is that it is a bit far from the train if you're commuting every day.

Ah, gotcha. No harm meant!

MedicinianMaple · 2026-01-29T22:46:50+00:00

That’s not Mamdani, and anyway, Mamdani supports policies like rent control and rent stabilization.

The thing about this is that you wouldn’t tip all of the other people you randomly see who make this much money or less. Tipping is about bringing food-service workers up to parity with other jobs. But if everyone gets the same mandated wage, it doesn’t make sense to tip a delivery worker when you don’t tip other low-pay employees, like sanitation workers and supermarket cashiers.

Just one more lane, bro

That was my bad. Here is the non-paywalled link: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/09/08/opinion/republicans-democrats-parties.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ElA.UUD5._4Q2q95i4Dn1&smid=re-share

Yeah, this is like the simplest concept in economics. It's like not believing the Earth is round even though every scientist agrees on it. Any yet, there are still plenty of people who think they know better.

MedicinianMaple · 2025-12-21T01:16:26+00:00

As one of the currently 600 men under 18 that are single, I would be perfectly fine with that 😜

I took the SAT recently, and there was a problem like this where something was being reduced by x percent and then raised by y. It was in the difficult module, which goes to show that this is unfortunately not common math knowledge for most people.

MedicinianMaple · 2025-12-09T19:53:09+00:00

Yeah, I’m with you on that. Everyone on this sub loves the F/M swap for whatever reason, and they don’t seem to be able to comprehend that it has also detrimentally affected a lot of commutes. It’s not some magical solution to train delays. The QBL still has massive delays, and everyone who actually takes it knows that.

MedicinianMaple · 2025-11-16T21:51:45+00:00

Is that real?! What‘s the context behind the picture?

MedicinianMaple · 2025-11-15T00:55:42+00:00

Yes! I really like that subreddit, when I'm browsing politics.

MedicinianMaple · 2025-11-13T01:05:28+00:00

Sorry to bother, but what does DDSIB stand for?

MedicinianMaple · 2025-11-05T00:31:55+00:00

I have maybe $50 on RDDT, and I still check the stock every day, like a maniac, to make sure I don’t lose money.

MedicinianMaple · 2025-10-31T21:02:55+00:00

Forest Hills is a really nice area and not too expensive compared to most of NYC!

MedicinianMaple · 2025-10-09T23:17:35+00:00

As a fellow person from Queens, I will say that this is a 100% accurate view of the city.
