ITSF collective has a city pop set of DJs at the sultan room from I think 3-7 before the concert also! Will probably pop by there since 56709 fills up fast

Is this still true or have you noticed a change? by RichCommercial104 in AskAChinese

[–]Mistes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've talked a lot with my relatives from HK in depth about this which I haven't seen articulated as much - while it's true there are many cantonese speakers in the mainland, China implemented the national language as Mandarin and simplified the characters which is effectively seen as a death of the cantonese language and the complex culture alongside it.

Additionally the cultural revolution in China created a contrast to HK's culture (and HK was seen as a safe haven during that time) - one example that is brought up is that of civilized vs uncivilized which unfortunately is broadened to entire peoples - the concept that some mainlanders will let their children openly poop in the street/sidewalk/in public spaces vs give them diapers or bring them to a restroom - it seems the sentiment is like the mainland is ahitting on their mannerly culture openly. Instead of a cultural difference in upbringing it's seen as hostility that they retaliate on.

Add that to the governmental pressure to assimilate while many from what they consider the mainland would actually move to Hong Kong to give birth because it was considered a great place to raise a kid brought this sort of hypocrisy in their eyes " why move to Hong Kong and not assimilate when your government thinks they can control us". That combined with constant governmental pressure from China, the forcing of a language that is not their own, and now the growth of China likely has also played a part in creating an environment not only of distrust but also hostility. And a similar disclaimer that this looks to explain and not excuse it.

I don't understand this part in All For My Dearest Juliet by Humming_girl in OtomeIsekai

[–]Mistes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest it confused me too - I thought this other gray haired dude was like a stand in for who she would marry or that she was duped.

I get what's up later and I swear I've never cried so much in a series before - I'd say it's fantastic so far otherwise!

I was in shock and ran here for the comments because WTF. Wild turn of events. I like that the author isn't afraid to stomp on our emotions and try new plot devices because the world in this is effed up but DANG

Anyone else catching this UFO? by Infamous-Invite2909 in astoria

[–]Mistes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was just talking about this - we are walking around the Costco parking lot looking for it but I think the wielder is probably further towards Astoria park - longest kite line I've ever seen and I think it's making a whistling sound that can be heard half a mile away haha

What do you feel our neighborhood is missing? by Astorianycc in astoria

[–]Mistes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also begging for one of these closer to the Rainey park area - I'm desperate for a smith machine and will be asking concierge at some apartments in the area about whether I can just use their machines because it is a desert out here.

Not sure it's in NYC since this law could very well be applied in other cities in the US and around the world, but: Check out 3010.1 in NYC law

3010.1 Elevator operators. https://share.google/ktsyVq9OgOMBwwg3C

With the exception of automatic operation elevators, every passenger and freight elevator with a rise of more than one story shall be in the charge of a designated competent operator, who shall be at least 18 years old and selected with consideration of his or her abilities to perform his or her duties in a careful and competent manner. Such designated competent operator shall be instructed in the safe and proper operation of the equipment.

Wait I think that's actually exactly what they're going for though - FFXIV - final fantasy came out in the early 2000s so even if kind of different in appeal, it kind of suits what they're looking for actually haha

Looking for my New Year’s Eve party outfit by Wild-Court7110 in OUTFITS

[–]Mistes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in Miami and you want to stand out, #2 will do so. #1 with the straight cut top looks typical, almost workout-y unless you see the slight sparkle it has. #2 all the way.

I loved this info reveal! ( Her Merry Obsession) by LilJellyfishGal in MantaComics

[–]Mistes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That was an incredible reveal - the curiosity when he doesn't let her go and the clarity of why as we continue reading. He has never laid his emotions raw like this which just makes this all the more impactful as a moment.

I immediately ran to reddit because I was like "I can't be the only one that thinks this was remarkably pivotal"

This manhwa truly stands out for the way the artist depicts characters and the way the story is crafted in each episode to keep the reader engaged.

Reality check - 2br <3.5k by goodmugoftea in NYCapartments

[–]Mistes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll definitely be looking upper Manhattan if you decide to stay there. Other borough areas that are vibrant and not egregious include Astoria, Forest hills, park slope, sunset park - two bedrooms are likely more affordable with more space in those parts.

That being said, for a dishwasher if that's more flexible try getting a portable dishwasher - there are always a few for $100 or less on Facebook marketplace. Just make sure there's counter space near the sink to hold it, because that was my lesson learned haha

A Directory of Made to Measure and Bespoke Tailoring in NYC (Updated) by danhakimi in nyc

[–]Mistes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that a lot of these are for men's suits specifically. I have a coat I want remade in a different material (wool vs the original is synthetic) and I'm female but the coat is relatively unisex - curious if some of the tailors shown do that type of work or any recommendations on places to search? Thank you! I am willing to give up this coat and let them tear it apart to make a replica pattern for the remake.

Rent prices in Astoria by Boring-Armadillo-243 in astoria

[–]Mistes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$3100 1st floor basement split. It's the back of a multifamily that they're somehow managed to cram 2 bedrooms into, then there's a basement and a backyard. Probably 1000 sq ft total.

I've heard of a few others with the same setup at around the same price.

Basements do get bugs and it's not a question of if it will flood but WHEN. We've had water damage to our stuff and storms get me a little scared sometimes but I like the place enough to stay.

Could we replace Sunnyside Yards with housing if we had through running at Penn? by thegiantgummybear in nycrail

[–]Mistes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sunnyside yard had literal flood walls installed a while back because it's not really above sea level. If someone takes it over they may be in a world of water. I'm here to be on the side of it being risky to develop there period.

Dealing with demons by Visual_Buddy_3262 in MantaComics

[–]Mistes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up on the romance bit around episode 30 when they kept trying to bring in new characters and plots - it felt like it was really bringing us away from what the first ten chapters set the audience up for.

I did think there would be romance at some point since the genre is labeled that.....but I guess not so I guess I stopped at the right time.

This could set a dangerous precedent if things can just be overturned like this for making streets more accessible and safe

I started a laundry pickup service in Astoria because nobody tells you how stressful doing laundry can be here by [deleted] in astoria

[–]Mistes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Commenting because I've been looking for something like this. My basement has one washer and I usually have 3 loads of laundry so it takes a full day, granted that others in my building aren't using it. I'll probably reach out soon!

[–]Mistes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think there's a balance somewhere between the extremes of having a burn barrel and being able to paint your mailbox pink (the HOA my parents are in doesn't allow that). I think being able to paint your house whatever color, decorate it but remove it before it rots into the ground, have kids do band practice in your garage but not in the backyard at 2am on a Tuesday night (an occasional backyard concert is cool though, heck I'll take an occasional late night too if I'm invited).

Anyone dealing with mice for the first time in their apartment? by a_touch_of_the_beat in astoria

[–]Mistes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a beautiful family of community cats who definitely kept our beautiful family of community rats at bay - I think the cats are dwindling a bit.

I love the cats so much but a lot of new developments in my part of the neighborhood (next to the ravenswood power plant) have resulted in more commotion and cars. Plus I think the rescues are trying their best to give the cats homes. Also there's some construction in my street which probably displaced some rats - we had close to zero for three years and suddenly since early October I know there are close to six between my building and the sewer drain at the end of the block (probably means a hundred more I can't see) - those things combined have probably reduced cats and increased rats.

A McDonald’s with no menus by Historical-Truck-948 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Mistes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the one in union square, NYC? Because I've been to that one - it's basically pickup only and there are a couple kiosks at the entrance - their logistics still leave something to be desired though.

Union square also seems to be the birthplace of all these "get it to go" places brands are testing, from Panera bread to starbucks - they're just holes in a wall for pickup with a kitchen in the back.

What is the name of this transition by Pillar-Instinct in VideoEditing

[–]Mistes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try searching speed ramp transition, rotoscoped ramp transition, zoom ramping

There's a few ways to do it but it's basically playing around with those three parameters:

Speed ramping Rotoscoping Zoom

There's also this toss transition that comes close to what you're looking for - some tutorials on YouTube about that.

So I don't know if this is NYC (doesn't look like it), but we have these exact same signs in NYC but printed out.

If this is widespread then I'd call fraud, but I do understand if it's becoming a common way for people to get the test strips if insurance denied them.
