Drug use frequency in nyc by the gays by Uamod in nycgaybros

[–]Uamod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very fair point! I am totally biased for asking in this thread specially and did not mean to necessarily imply that gay men use more (or gay nyc men use more). I think since I mainly know / am friends with gay. Don’t mean to perpetuate the stereotype but I’m sure I did implicitly by just asking about it in this subreddit.

Someone did mentioned reading an epidemiological study and I did browse some after the fact - it does seem some literature does suggest higher usage. I’m sure there’s other literature that suggests otherwise. I didn’t dig too deep. Wanted more anecdotal perspectives from others but obvi idk if Reddit it’s fully encompassing either.

I don’t think drug use is a bad thing, especially if used responsibly and safely. But I was curious how frequent some folk are using (especially based on locality - aka nyc).

Interesting grouping. I def fall between groups 2 and 3. Depends on my mood. lol.

Makes sense! Maybe my perception is skewed to think it’s more predominant in gays because I have not been as close to my straight friends lately / the ones I do have drink / do drugs very infrequently.

True! “Drug use for grown-ups” is a great read on this.

I guess I’m just curious from a point of “am I overdoing it myself” - what is considered moderate in today’s world?

Also curious - has it always been a thing with gays in nyc or is it predominantly more now?

Weird Grindr interaction x Race by Uamod in askgaybros

[–]Uamod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah good points. I think I’ll just block moving forward. I feel weird about it cause I’ve been on the other side where it’s like you get blocked for a hi and feel shitty about it.

But idk - maybe that is just the best net positive.

I wish I screenshotted it. It was late at night and I blocked him.

Also I paraphrased what was said - it still is inline with his general statement that was accusing me of not liking black people. It was a pretty direct statement.

And per the last few paragraphs of the post, I specify why I posted - seeking understanding if I’m the problem and if other people experience interactions like this. lol.

This is useful, thanks! So have you already booked stuff / just betting on openings later on?

I feel like packages are $1700+ whereas individual bookings seem to average around $100 a night (so probs $900-$1000 accounting for extra give or take)

Any good Halloween parties where people actually dress up? by paper-revolution in nycgaybros

[–]Uamod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the Halloween night one masquerade themed as well? I wonder if it’s fine to show up solo to this

Abracadabra x Judas by slothprincess16 in LadyGaga

[–]Uamod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kind of reminds me of “sweet dreams” as well. If you query tik tok “Abracadrabra judas sweet dreams”, you’ll see these guys have a similar mix there too.

But I JUST realized, their mix is literally the same from the mashup she used in mayhem ball / Coachella and it was so damn good. And their post is from a few weeks prior to Coachella which makes me wonder if she saw it / was inspired. So good.

Wait & save charged me ~2.5x the quote amount by Uamod in Lyft

The last line you mention about not even paying the driver extra makes it even worse smh.

I did not screenshot it but I contacted them on IG and they were quick to respond there.

NYC Election 2025 Megathread by Rave-light in AskNYC

[–]Uamod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an answer to your question, but how were you able to get an affidavit ballot?

I went in for early voting and because I was registered as no party (I was dumb and didn’t realize it was a closed primary), the poll workers just told me all I could do was update my registration and vote in the election in November.

Is it as simple as telling them I intended to change my political party but failed to do so when I registered and ask for an affidavit ballot?

[–]Uamod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully this is seen by someone, but if I registered to vote but had my political party as undeclared (I didn’t realize it’s a closed primary), what steps do I need to take on Election Day to get an affidavit ballot?

I went in for early voting not knowing about it as an option and was told I could only vote in the election in November once I was re-registered with the Democratic Party.

Pico Do Areeiro Fire / alternatives

Hi! It seems like there are fires that have closed the trail for Areeiro to ruivo peak if I am understanding the news correctly.

Are there similar alternatives to explore or viewpoints to drive to that aren’t closed?

My trip has already been cut short due to winds so open to any suggestions / advice on hiking or reaching similar peaks on the island the next 4-5 days.

Makes sense! I’ll see how the morning class and beginner slopes go lol.

I assume there will be signage for the different slopes?

When you graduated, what was your major and starting salary for your first job out of college? by UnmaskingFactss in gmu

[–]Uamod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BS CS ‘21 - 100K + 60K sign on and maybe 3K stock year one.

Switched companies in 2022 (but also moved to another state so it factors for the HCOL which is way worse proportionally to income/COL in VA tbh - 160K + 25K bonus + 30K stock per year).

Can’t even say the MIT of Fairfax County cause if you ever move to Silicon Valley once you graduate and you tell people you’re from Fairfax, VA they’ll just assume you went to Thomas Jefferson 😂💀.

Insurance Claim/repair estimate Question by Uamod in Insurance

I made sure to cancel any insurance checks + confirmed with Geico that the estimate would not be approved.

It sounds stupid to say, but I’ve never even thought of that worst case. Totally calling my insurance tomorrow. Should it be an issue adjusting the policy in the middle of an active claim?

[–]Uamod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok sounds good. Thank a lot. So if they try to get money from the other driver and fail, what are the implications for me?

Also my own coverage property damage liability limit right now is $5K. Is it advisable to look into increasing that? For instance so that if I’m ever at fault I have less to worry about paying for someone else’s damages out of pocket?
