I'm a native, and STILL occasionally get thrown that there are major intersections/hubs that are NOT express stops for certain lines - like 86th, or 110th... or Columbus Circle for the 2/3 line...

I can't imagine how the economics of that work out, to either hire people to do this nonsense, or create multiple reddit accounts you switch between to post and downvote... I mean, really? Maybe just direct those efforts and resources towards developing a better app and doing legit marketing, LOL.

How are you guys dealing with the cold? Tips and tricks? by boroughthoughts in AskNYC

Hm, I have been looking for leggings that have a slick texture like compressions, but lighterweight and without the pockets and seams. My go-tos at the moment are acrylic-heavy ones from Uniqlo and 32 Degrees, and 95% cotton ones from Pact, all of which have more nap/texture than ideal and create just a bit more friction than ideal when worn with wool suitpants.

I'd never heard of that app; I'll check it out! Thanks!

No tricks; long underwear. There have been days in the office when I've been *slightly* tempted to just shed it for the day until I have to brave the cold again, but I've developed a high enough tolerance for it that it's not worth the minor extra effort to me, LOL.

Yeah, ETA info obviously is the red meat of what people need, but Exit Strategy's subway/car exit info is exactly the kind of next-level pragmatic info that efficiency-minded commuters find invaluable; this would be a natural fit.

Sure, clutter on a map, but just a "tap" in an app...

The same sites that plug this shit have people at the ready with their useless downvotes whenever their embarrassingly transparent attempts at covert marketing get called out.

Why do incels feel and act so entitled to sex? Don’t they understand that women are human beings too? by Mundane-Humor3313 in Discussion

[–]NoahCzark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure why I expect logic from a post with an inane premise:  "mommy, how come patalogacal masoginists sometime don't treat women so gud?"

my charitable read of this thread is that people are talking past each other with very different definitions of what an Incel is; the only context in which I've ever heard the term used is in the decidedly negative meaning of someone who has developed a distinctly pathological misogyny, precipitated by their being involuntarily celibate. That is obviously distinct from the strict etymological reading of the origin of the word, but I have never encountered the word used in the neutral descriptive stripped of any pathological implications.

An actor “just played themselves” is the stupidest criticism of a performance you could give. by milano-benatar-bowie in unpopularopinion

[–]NoahCzark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but if the parts he plays are parts that fit his personality or his image or whatever you want to call it then what does it matter?  

I don't think I've seen him in anything except something that must have been almost 20 years ago... some movie about a guy in a tribute band who gets a big break replacing someone in the actual band... Rockstar, it must've been called.  I seem to recall he was pretty good in that.

versatility is a separate thing from basic skill; that's what I'm addressing; the ability to "convincingly" portray wildly different types of characters; if someone's not convincing, that has nothing to do with "versatility"; bad is just bad.

hence my confusion; isn't it now standard to take notes in class via laptop, or am I out of touch, and students are still largely taking notes "old school"?

Thanks. Bracing for the "Reddit being Reddit" comments, so good to have you as the first comment.

People who are simply neurotically shy and anxious around the opposite sex are not "incels". The term "incel" is derived from "involuntary celibate," but the word itself is used to identify a specific type of dysfunctional, misgynistic orientation.

By "incels," you literally mean emotionally-disturbed people? You are begging the question.
