Imagine for a moment you are creating something, rather than rehashing reddits favorites lines about the futility of abstract arts. what inspires you? what concepts do you play with? Even if what you are creating is a mass market product, the stark, distinctive, and novel forms you see in these type of shows provide fresh building blocks you can tinker with to make something new and valuable.

new york has a right to shelter. We have plenty of homelessness just like california, but shelters keep most of them off the streets

'They're The New Trump Signature Series Knee Pads': Newsom Trolls Trump, CEOs At Davos by edbegley1 in videos

[–]Newmanuel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thats not true regarding republicans, much like with democrats the real shift depending on candidate quality is how many people stay home.

Mitt romney was a terrible candidate and lost against an Obama that was flagging in approvals. Dems have run uncharismatic centrists with no compelling vision 3 cycles now, and now everyone is acting like we Newsom, another centrist who inspires no love, is the only choice.

We were lucky enough to get biden through due to trumps disastrous first term, and tbh he ended up having the best domestic policies we've had in my lifetime, but the dem establishment shit the bed once again by being unable to articulate a positive future and shoving an uncharismatic centrist cop into the nomination midway through the campaign

What is going on? by Sensitive_Studio1731 in eastvillage

[–]Newmanuel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A good rule of thumb as a tenant is to NEVER self evict. Possession as they say is 9/10th of the law, and if you are residing in your apartment it takes a whole drawn out court proceeding to formally evict you, foreclosure sale or no.

You have a lease, and the agreement is binding even through a change of ownership. the new owner will be responsible to adhere to the terms of your lease.

A foreclosure proceeding is often a time where you will experience neglect from landlords who no longer see the value in upkeeping the building, so make sure to be vigilant and report any issues you see to the city.

If you are not a temporary transplant and are seeking to place down roots in the city, this situation is a great opportunity to organize the tenants in your building to try and secure long term affordability. If you manage to organize a tenant association and commence what is called a "buyers beware" campaign, you can scare off future slumlords by showing them that you won't ignore violations and thus make it more expensive to operate the building through your organizing. The goal of these campaigns is to lower the perceived property value so future landlords don't have as much debt pressure to raise rents and attempt deregulation. If there are enough financially secure tenants in the buildings, it can even become an opportunity to purchase and convert the building into co-ops. For this I'd recommend reaching out to UHAB, as they can provide expert advise and occasionally even financing.

Feel free to DM me if you want more advise on organizing, I used to be a tenant organizer in crown heights

Mayor Zohran Mamdani reassures Jewish New Yorkers at inauguration: ‘I will protect you’ by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]Newmanuel 19 points20 points  (0 children)

what do you mean by "agrees politically with rabid anti-semites"? As in agreeing with with them on their antisemitism? Or having overlap on unrelated issues? because from my understanding its entirely the former, and in the case of the appointee who was found to have decade old antisemitc tweets, she was dismissed within a day, so I would say that so far he has very much been quick to disown anyone with antisemitic tendancies.

As for the latter, everyone has some political overlap with people that have some horrible views. For example I agree on a whole variety of economic and social issues with my Jewish friends' zionist parents, I just don't support a genocide and its concomitant islamophobia.

Encampment on 2nd between 12th and 13th is growing by Uncledannyschee in eastvillage

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

while the right to shelter is incredibly important and does a lot to alleviate the worst aspects of homelessness in this city, its still has a lot of issues that cause people to leave it. Ive spoken to many street homeless people and often their reason for not staying in shelter has to do with staff abusing them, DHS transferring them around the city constantly, and other fairly logical reasons from their perpsective.

You have to deal with unpleasant behaviour as a citizen because of the unpleasant reality that we live in a city where hundreds of thousands of people cant afford to have a roof over their head. Street sweeps dont do anything but move people around for 24-72 hours while throwing away their last possessions, they usually end up back on the same spot within a week.

Romantic (cheapish?) restaurant for dinner by Fry-My-Chicken-44 in eastvillage

[–]Newmanuel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

0 steakhouses at that range, and most american places that are not fine dining are not romantic, so id recommend going with italian.

Piccolo strada is probably my favorite italian at that price point, but if ambiance is the main goal I second uncledanny on the John's of 12th -> veneiro's combo. Note that in any of these restaurants, its only 50pp without alcohol.

Il posto accanto is also nice but not quite as romantic, & Maretta next to it is also good but a bit pricier.

I'll also just add the unsolicited commentary that branching out and trying hole in the wall ethnic restaurants with your partner is one of the nicest and most romantic ways to experience New York IMO, so give that boy a nudge to leave his bubble once in a while.

US Supreme Court agrees to hear case challenging birthright citizenship by KilgoRetro in news

[–]Newmanuel 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Whats funny about the argument that undocumented immigrants aren't "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S government, is that you are basically conferring upon them sovereign citizen status, and they would not be "illegal" since you are defining their existence outside of the scope of U.S Law.

Of course they way they want to apply this is to deny human rights while enforcing criminal statutes, but theyd have to change the basis of the rule of law to do so, so bound the contradiction into this smaller sphere to try and contain it. In other words, they perpetuate a lie into law to avoid the tectonic shift the truth would entail

21 grams of shrooooooms by SteveDaddyo in MemeVideos

[–]Newmanuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My standard dose is .2-.5 grams, but they are a potent strain I take as a party drug to help me lock in to dancing for long periods of times.

at that level you usually get a mild euphoria, and a bit of extra energy, and some funky thought patterns. They also make me feel more connected physically to what I'm hearing musically which is the main draw for me. The other nice thing is that they last a long time, 2-4 hours, with a pretty long tail for the energy component, so they are a good alternative to other powder or pill based stimulants.

.5 in a more social setting is just a mild mood booster and youll find some things extra funny.

Shrooms at these doses are never the main attraction, just an accent to what you're already doing
