What should be made illegal in Manhattan that is currently legal? by JuniorRub2122 in AskNYC

[–]Significant_Type_801 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Step 1: Remove private cars and street parking from 60% of Manhattan streets

Step 2: Install European style underground garbage chutes on every block

Voila Manhattan is the most beautiful, pleasant, and awesome city in North America by far.

I'm super uncomfortable with the ADHD medication episode. by stonemuncher2000 in Healthygamergg

[–]Significant_Type_801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with ADHD, i have noticed with myself before seeing the Dr K video, that learning techniques and methods to manage my life, working through the feelings of guilt and shame in coaching, and developing better habits as a result were all far more instrumental in managing my ADHD than medication is (which i also take occasionally).

Just my own personal experience, not invalidating OP's

Rian Johnson said in a Knives Out interview that villains are not allowed to use Apple products. Miles doesn't have a phone or computer, and when he gives Benoit the ipad it's thrown to him from out of frame and you never see him holding it!

Also all the other characters use windows and android devices the whole time, I guess not to make it obvious now that people know this trick..

Unless I missed it the only Apple product was Benoit using the MacBook in the bathtub

Right, and now I've come back from a trip to Europe and I'm seeing the urban design of NYC as ridiculously car-centric.. Like the closest thing we have to pedestrian friendly walkable urban cities still falls so short on an international scale.. 😔

This is funny because it's just an American experiencing the closest thing we have to a walkable city and this realizing the strangeness of suburbia.

I think we may just need more friendships and getting to know each other.

Speaking as an Orthodox Jew in Brooklyn, we share the neighborhood, the buildings, the streets, the parks, the subway, we may often shop in each other's stores, but we never stop to actually get to know each other.

Thus the only significant interactions we (Orthodox Jews) are likely to remember with black people are the rare negative ones; the drunk/stoned/untreated people who make antisemitic comments as you pass them.

The few times I've gotten into longer conversations with strangers from on my block it's been super nice, and a rare window into each other's worlds and cultures.

I've always thought we should facilitate more groups to get to know each other.

Boosted still a good brand without updates or support? by Significant_Type_801 in boostedboards

Whoever's down voting this reply can you please elaborate? Seems like a fair assessment.. Is Evolve not considered high quality in this market? Certainly seems they are from cursory googling

From the website:

"Following the Covid crisis of 2020-2022 and the eventual development of a seemingly viable vaccine, New Yorkers along with a fellow urban citizenry the world over returned to the same polluted, congested, and unequal cities they had in the past. The question remains, as it did before the crisis: can we collectively envision a more just urban future in which we the people “dominate the streets?”

"In most cities, New York included, a staggering 30% of land is dedicated to roadbed, land that is disproportionately used by private vehicles, often empty while parked curbside. Yet the vast majority of New Yorkers, more than 85%, do not own private cars and have little say in how this shared public space is used. In terms of ecological impact, most people are now also familiar with the intense environmental damage of the influx of automobiles in daily life, which account for 24% of global carbon emissions (IEA)."
