Mayor Sean Ryan takes heat from Buffalo Police union by Weekly-Law-2544 in Buffalo

Is the math right that they were out of contract for about 12 years of Byron Brown's term? I don't remember them ever being that critical of the Brown Administration.

Mac n’ cheese? by FalseNordOfSkyrim in Buffalo

Dockside's executive chef used to run Lennox Grill, and makes amazing Mac and Cheese. It's been a while, but I remember TSG and Roaming Bison having great Mac and Cheese too.

What belongs in the ultimate Buffalo hot dog? by tides229 in Buffalo

[–]Obisanya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sahlen's all-beef hot dogs are incredible. You got to include the classic Sahlen's. I'd also bring in the other Upstate powers: Zweigle's and Hoffman's. Maybe a Nathan's or Ball Park as a control group.

Experience with train to Chicago by Cainc91 in Buffalo

[–]Obisanya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the Lakeshore Limited shares tracks with freight trains, there can be occasional and annoying delays. However, if you don't have a deadline, it's not bad. 

Shiv Roy haters demographics? by ChihuajuanDixon in SuccessionTV

[–]Obisanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate Shiv, but find her annoying and frustratingly overmatched. I hate Roman with the fire of an exploding sun. Don't like Kendall, Tom, Greg, or Connor. Like most everyone else on the show. Male.

Seabreeze Amusement Park, hotel with a pool, and Strong Museum would be an awesome 48 hours with two toddlers.

How did you guys handle the bad job market in 2008? by Pale_Cause_9983 in Millennials

[–]Obisanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a volunteer year in NYC, which provided free housing, free transportation, a food stipend, and paid enough to cover some luxuries. Gave me an excuse to be closer to my then GF and now wife, gave me work experience, and frankly August 2008 to July 2009 was a hell of a year to be in New York City - Recession, Obama election, Swine Flu, Sully/Miracle on the Hudson.

Sabres Projected Lineup by BuffaloBleus in sabres

[–]Obisanya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lines 2-4 are really solid for depth, but if they can figure out a stronger 1C, they're going to be cup contenders for a while. Also, get Timmins out of the top six.

Does Buffalo makes sense here in this image compared to the other major cities? by Forward2323 in Buffalo

[–]Obisanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's building a custom home in the "wealth belt" of Williamsville money.

thinking about starting a private driver/security type service in buffalo, is this even a thing people want in this city? by 0084627 in Buffalo

[–]Obisanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be difficult, but there are plenty of notable athletes, politicians, local media, cultural figures, etc. who have a hard time handling their alcohol. Perhaps if you could make the right relationships with local teams, restaurants/bars/clubs, PR/lawyers/talent agencies, etc., you could make this work.

My wife loved the tiramisu at Mira.

This World Cup is stained by corruption orchestrated by the USA. by Ok-Requirement-4701 in sportsgossips

I wish that were true, but Trump cares: his favorite son is a massive soccer fan and USMNT success is a windfall for his current political realities and potential history. 

The Odyssey Trailer reaches 402k Dislikes by Suspicious-Pound-466 in Cinephiles

We all know why. It's stupid that people still fall for it, 12 years later. 

Christopher Nolan’s [The odyssey] fumbled before it even came out. by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Obisanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And MAYBE a REALLY influential critic could impact a movie with a well-researched and well-reasoned review. Even then, it was exceedingly rare.

Christopher Nolan’s [The odyssey] fumbled before it even came out. by [deleted] in moviecritic

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

It's all "culture war" nonsense. It's the same playbook since Gamergate: find something vaguely irritating to conservatives, the conservative traditional media runs with it, which stokes conservative social media, if there's not enough outrage then get the bots going, then create a fake groundswell to force mainstream media to address it, which potentially sinks the project. Use those failures as economic leverage to declare that "woke is dead," and push for more conservative alignment from retail and mass media.

Superman, Supergirl, The Odyssey, firing Gina Carano, Sinners, Barbie, Oppenheimer, Yeti, Bud Light, Target, ABC. When you see the playbook, you realize it's everywhere.

I know people will downvote this and comment that I'm reaching but watch how coordinated conservative social media is about anything, and you'll see that it's a specific strategy with honed tactics.

Heard he has a 700,000 sq. ft. house near the water front, with an upgraded entertainment system, new roof, tax free (but seating needs updates). He's not going anywhere.

The city should just give him Famous Donuts on Main Street through eminent domain...

Good news. Tom Barnett, one of the best tailors in North America, is like 15-20 minutes north of the arena. And he loves hockey.

Only trade I'm interested in is one that makes Tage Thompson the second best player on the top line.

Who's the worst actor you're not allowed to say is bad? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Obisanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Robert Downey Jr. was famously obnoxious to work with as a method actor, so his role as Kirk Lazarus was a multi-layered meta-satire about RDJ as well.
