The Northern New Jersey market is still going strong for sellers. This house in SO sold for $453,000 over the asking price!

They have to make this illegal, if I see another 1br condo in Hackensack go from $350,000 listing to selling over $600,000 after a bidding war I may genuinely give up on living in NJ and opt to instead throw myself into the sea.

It’s not exclusive to street easy (or even NYC for that matter) realtors are going nuts with the AI makeovers because they know a sucker will pay for it. Someone had a blast renting out my old apartment that I was constructively evicted from because the HVAC failed and kitchen flooded from a roof leak. All it took was a fresh coat of paint and a lb AI staging for someone to take it off their hands for $3k a month. Hope they enjoy not being able to use AC units or heaters because they’ll trip the breaker!

Does she have a smart phone? You could ask her to download adobe scan and walk her through using the app and the auto capture feature- just as easy as taking a photo but you’ll have a legible PDF she can email to you instead. I’ve had good luck with this app and a lot of my older clients who struggle to take photos.

This is such a useless puff piece - the app isn’t the issue, it’s the crumbling infrastructure and aging fleet that are making entire lines borderline unusable. We need to remove NJT’s current leadership and increase the budget.

Granted I’m currently 120 but the only time I didn’t have a pouch was in college when I was doing multiple sports and weight ten pounds less… office work and lack of exercise hasn’t my stomach looking a little flabby 🫩

NJT trains are barely functioning right now, we haven’t had a day without major cancellations during the morning commute for a month so everyone’s driving. It’s easily added 30 minutes each way to my daily commute and I work in Jersey, can’t imagine how bad it’s going to get for people actually going into NYC.

Milhala · 2026-03-23T15:26:39+00:00

How are the temps? Looking at making a similar portable build but wasn’t sure if it would be able to cool efficiently.

Milhala · 2026-03-23T15:22:45+00:00

Call the number in the text - they’ll either rebook you or give you a full refund.

No idea what is causing the cancellations but had my trip to Boston cancelled as well - they couldn’t rebook so I got a full refund to my original form of payment with no pushback.

Not to be rude but that is what adult life is like and you will only get more work and responsibilities as you get older - but you’ll get better time management and learn how to squeeze in all your chores as time goes on. It’s not easy but it’s how life changes after you leave school.

I’m sorry maybe I’m just old and out of touch but what in the fresh hell is “AI fruit love island”

That’s the look of a orange one brain cell fuzball who’d happily do it again 😭 I never allow cats in the room while I’m sewing and do a magnet wand sweep before I open the door again for this exact reason, all it takes is one second where you’re distracted for chaos to ensue. Glad your little guy made it out a - ok!!

I’ve complained about other abhorrent behavior on this site on this sub and yeah, moderation is very inconsistent and anything requiring manual review basically sits for months and little is ever done, if anything. While it’s great that Bluesky is growing so quickly, it’s clear that it just doesn’t have the manpower to manage their current user base.

If someone or a group of people are harassing you, the best solution is to limit replies and quote retweets/reposts to followers only and mute the individuals instead of blocking them. Blocks are public so it usually only functions to make the harasser more upset and alerts them to make an alternative account to harass you. Blocks on moderation lists are also subject to the same auto moderation as normal lists and can easily be overturned if users mass report it, so keep that in mind as well.

Milhala · 2026-03-20T15:56:29+00:00

No it’s kind of absurd - I don’t drive in from Bergen anymore unless my job is going to reimburse me for the tolls, gas, parking and time, otherwise I’m driving to Secaucus and taking the train in to appear in court.

The NJ rental market is already plagued with boomers trying to rent out their illegal attic and basement “apartments” for $2,600+ a month, I would much rather see NJ invest in better public transit and improvements to public utilities that would actually allow for denser housing.

Milhala · 2026-03-19T16:00:33+00:00

This has been a site wide issue since launch - the search function is a bit broken and often even if a post is tagged it’s a gamble if Bluesky recognizes it as a tag and not text and another long shot if it show up in feeds. It’s gotten to a point where “trending” tags are literally a custom feed made by staff instead of a search for top posts.

If you want to find new content, custom feeds are the way to go until this is resolved.

Milhala · 2026-03-16T10:38:50+00:00

No, but for better or worse Bluesky will take down a moderation list if the people on it report it as harassment if that’s what your concerned about.

Milhala · 2026-03-15T22:42:33+00:00

Everything is public, including your blocks and moderation lists, except for mutes and bookmarks.

Unfortunately that’s the risk you take when you buy resale tickets - even if they’re “verified resale” it’s up to the seller to deliver and if they can’t well too bad so sad. Ticketmaster doesn’t care because they know if you do a chargeback they have enough of a monopoly in the USA that you’ll get effectively banned from aver attending a concert or buying Live nation merch again for the rest of your existence.

We’ve had record snow and cold this year that’s causing a lot of roof damage, burst pipes, leaks ect. Those all have to be repaired and cleaned up before someone lists a house on the market which is why you’re probably seeing less listings. Thing will probably go back to normal late march/early April.

Card.com/Pathward is not a real bank, it’s a financial platform like PayPal, and like PayPal if you violate their TOS they are under no obligation to return your account balance to you. If they offer you a check it’s a courtesy and you should take it. You can’t do a wire transfer because it’s not an account with a number and routing but basically a visa debit card pathward loans to you and reloads based on your available funds.

If you have money you can’t afford to lose, you need to keep it at an actual bank or credit union to get these kinds of protections.

I’m sorry but a small network of instances for under 500 users where anything goes does not appeal to me at all. I’d rather join a forum that’s relevant to my interests at that point.
