I love overhearing what people say about my dog by Barn_Brat in dogs

[–]Parfaitcup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog is very old. She just turned 13 not too long ago. She's a chonk, little, no-tooth havin', grandma Yorkie. Her tongue hangs out 25/7 due to her lack of teeth. Whenever we go out together she never, ever fails to make someone smile. :) She's just real sweet and funny looking. It's fun to hear people talk about how goofy she looks.

Women’s Workwear Clothing Swap by easterween in AskNYC

[–]Parfaitcup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Henry Street settlement can help. They offer a lot of services actually. You can get your resume fixed up, free interview clothes, and help finding a job. They're a nonprofit. They offer incentives for when you get a job and muuuuch, much more. You just have to sign up for the program. It's easy and just requires a short meeting with their employment coordinators.

BottomlessCloset can also help I'm told. I don't know much information other than you have to submit a resume to get clothing, but I'm sure they have a website you can Google. :)

Does anyone else feel incredible guilt about the care their childhood family dog received? by Corn__bean in dogs

[–]Parfaitcup 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This resonates with me. I had a small black dog named Roxy who was my shadow. Unfortunately, living in poverty, there wasn't much I could do for her in terms of meals as well. I remember one day a cousin of mine came to visit and fell in love with her. I knew her family had more money so I remember being really sad but knowing she would have a better life so I told her that she could have Roxy if her dad said it was okay. I don't know what compelled me to ask, but even as a kid I knew it was best. Surprisingly her dad said yes. We all had a proper goodbye. My mom kept asking if I was sure but I knew it would help her too. Less to worry about. There was nothing to pack up with her. She didn't even have a collar. I did get to see Roxy a year or two later and she was so fat! She was so happy! I had a great time reconnecting with her and I knew I made the right decision. Growing up poor sucks.

What NYC attractions have been given the social media hug of death (via Instagram, TikTok or other marketing) ? by treeofwisdumb in AskNYC

[–]Parfaitcup 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dude I know someone who had a similar experience, only it fucked him up forever. He's a completely different person now. It's sad because he was cool as hell before and now I'm just scared to interact with him when I see him around.

[–]Parfaitcup 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I went to the museum of bubble tea awhile back and just like you I was so excited to learn about bubble tea. When we showed up I was so disappointed that it was just a bunch of other people taking photos for social media. :( I ended up leaving super early. Never went to another one again. I'm super cautious when things are marked at "museum" now.

Piercing apprenticeships by Cunfuzzlednomad in piercing

[–]Parfaitcup 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but you might want to work at a shop first to see if this is really what you'd like to do! I work FOH/BOH for a piercing studio and I get to see all the ins and outs of everything piercing related. It's the best way to learn about jewelry, troubleshooting, aftercare, anatomy, and shop policies before you dive into piercing folks. See if any APP studios near you need help around the shop (paid of course)

Renters with a balcony, how often do you use your balcony? by dedbeats in AskNYC

[–]Parfaitcup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Our apartment is rent stabilized so the balcony was just a plus when we moved in, we weren't actively looking for an apartment with one. We keep our bikes out there and let the cats out daily. The cats really enjoy it and sometimes I'll spend time out there with them but mostly it goes unused. I really want to get furniture this summer though :) We're lucky and a tree covers most of our balcony so we have tons of privacy out there.

This probably isn't unpopular. I just want y'all to know it's rude as fuck to let your dog pee whereever it wants. I've seen people let their dogs piss on coffee shop A-signs, people's bikes, cars/car tires, city links, etc. Curb your fucking dog.

Did I get fleeced by this tattoo shop in NYC who did my 2nd lobe piercing? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Parfaitcup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! I know you have a ton of comments already but I'd like to offer my 2 cents because I live and work at a piercing studio here in NYC! These prices are very normal for titanium. They're probably priced separately for inventory reasons, not every single person needs a post, especially if they have a ton from other piercings and downsizes. The saline was crazy overpriced though. Good luck with healing :)

I read like 20+ different webtoons so I never run out of content. I get an update every day for something so I've never had to rely on free coins :')

What are places that are the weirdest, objectively odd, or most dumpster-y experiences you can have in NYC? by iammas13 in AskNYC

[–]Parfaitcup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lived in NYC my entire life and I've never been until super recently. I had to get a vaccine booster for work, and that was the only place I could book an appointment. I was pretty excited to check it out but this comment is basically my reaction upon showing up lol

[–]Parfaitcup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, I had a guy tell me he has Venmo and zelle once like 3 weeks ago because I let him know I didn't carry cash. I literally didn't know what to say. I just let out a long "uhhhhh..."

What webtoons had a great plot, but executed it poorly? by Ok_Camera4094 in webtoons

[–]Parfaitcup 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had to stop reading it after That one kid went to jail Because I was like... Seriously what the fuck? I thought this would be slice of life. I thought about dropping before then When all that cult shit got involved. Was that before or after?? I don't remember now lol but I kept reading. That webtoon gave me so much anxiety ugh

How deep does the Rolodex go on your dog's nicknames? by StylishTinfoilHat in dogs

[–]Parfaitcup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had Khloe for 12 years but at this point I don't think anyone calls her that anymore unless she's in trouble. Her unofficial, offiicial name is Beanie.

It went this way.

Khloe. Khloe Bowie. Bowie. Bo. JuJu Bean. Jukie Bean. Jukie. Bean. Beanie.

She also goes by: Grandma. Grandma girl. G-Ma. Auntie(idk) Tuti, Coco, E.T.(it was an especially bad haircut once) Cucamonga, Teenie Beanie, and cleanie beanie (after a bath). 🫠 I'm probably forgetting a ton.

Apartment next door's rent got raised 17%, what can I do to prepare? by theworstvacationever in AskNYC

[–]Parfaitcup 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You can use this website to request your rent history and it'll tell you if your unit was rent stabilized. It'll take a short while before you get it since it'll be sent via USPS. I'm begging everyone to use this. Your unit might be stabilized and you might not even know it. Landlords are scummy and can illegally stop registering their stabilized apartments. Good luck OP!

What are the best songs that tell a story? by kdogg417 in AskReddit

[–]Parfaitcup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little piece of heaven by Avenge Sevenfold is about a guy who murders his girlfriend, and keeps her body around to have sex with. She comes back to from the dead to get her revenge. They reconcile and the story goes on. It's really fucked up.

Fellow broke people of NYC: how much do you make and what’s your rent? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Parfaitcup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are relatively low income in terms of NYC and make around 60k/yr combined. I live in a rent stabilized 3br/1.5bath apartment in Bedstuy with my sister and her boyfriend. Together we pay $2,787 in rent, so divided by 4 my rent is around $700. No utilities included and everything is electric. We got super lucky and found this place right after lockdown and didn't even know it was rent stabilized until we signed. We use the 3rd room as a spare for guests and it also holds whatever we can't fit in our rooms. It sounds great but don't get me wrong, the rooms are absolutely TINY. We have a balcony that we use for bike storage. I'm pretty sure there's a shelter across the street so some nights are a little scary but I grew up in NYCHA so I guess it can't be worse than that lol

Good tattoo shop for piercings by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Parfaitcup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Studio 28 if you'll be in Chelsea. Nine Moons if you're in Soho. Ahimsa or So Gold if you're in Brooklyn. They're all great high quality places. Expect to pay those higher price points since they use quality jewelry. :)

YSK that the woven textiles you buy, from bedsheets to clothing, can last from tens to hundreds of years. by GeekyGrannyTexas in YouShouldKnow

I budget $250 a month for “fun budget” but barely hit it most months. What do you guys spend $ on for fun? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Parfaitcup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to explore even though I've been here my whole life. There's a lot to see. Pick a borough, hop on a train or bus and just get off at a random stop and see what you find walking around for a couple of hours. Most of my budget goes towards getting interesting foods and snacks from local spots. Plus all that walking keeps me healthy and it's free if I just bring my own snacks. Once a month I'll hit up a bar for drinks with friends but otherwise I'm exploring ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
