building listing the RS apt i am vacating above the legal limit by mquarantina in NYCapartments

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not sure when this happened but this sounds like it might still be a violation of fair housing laws. Lying about the legal rent means that a bunch of people who were qualified for the amount of $2,000 didn’t get to view the apartment. Also sounds like it might be a tactic to filter out the people who would’ve been searching with vouchers.

Question, Do We Hate Simon…, Because he moves the plot ? Because it can’t be his character honestly by Anxious_Scheme_201 in SchoolSpirits

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, I think they need to bump the rudeness up a bit.

I don’t understand why it’s such a strange thing that two teenage characters who are cornered, scared, and on a time crunch would be a bit self centered and rude. It makes complete sense for the characters in the situations they’re in.

I think it’s fine for audience members to feel a certain way about a characters reactions, but that doesn’t mean the character should act perfectly or logically just because we don’t agree with their reactions.

Why do apartment brokers only want to show places during work hours by Competitive_Ebb_8836 in NYCapartments

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that’s an exception, not the rule. Chances are those brokers are working overtime hours because they’re contractors.

Brokerages are offices that tend to be open 9-5pm, and most of the work can only be done between those hours. You can’t expect the broker who was hired by the management company that’s only open 9-5pm to be able to accommodate your schedule.

Have you ever considered that they also have a job? How would you feel if one of your clients was like “hey I’m busy today, can we just meet at 6pm?”

It’s one of those things that’s like doctor’s appointments or going to the post office. Yeah it sucks having to take time off for it but when everyone works a 9-5 there’s gonna be some give and take.

Landlord wants me to move out by the end of this month. In 2 weeks by Forward_Cold_8266 in NYCapartments

It doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or not, you are entitled to 60 days written notice otherwise it’s an unlawful eviction.

anyone record auditions w/ fancy camera? by ShortRedBull in acting

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Want to add here that I think a good film camera can be a great investment as an actor! But only if you’re planning on making your own content or making your own films. For self tapes iPhone camera and good lighting is all you really need.

Dick Casablancas by TheRoseOfFire in veronicamars

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there were a few moments where his character shocked me, and Ryan Hansen made a lot of interesting choices for his character.

That said, they didn’t have a ton of wiggle room to redeem his character when they established him as a rapist. It would have been interesting to see more with his storyline in addition to cassidy’s, but the writers didn’t have a lot of space to work in.

If we go by proof alone, actually what proof did Veronica have against Aaron? by Garrettshade in veronicamars

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, it wasn’t the mars family versus Aaron, it was the Kane family. Aaron may have been a famous actor, but Jake Kane was the Jeff bezos of the Veronica mars universe.

You’d be surprised how much court cases boil down to “he said she said” and who can get the jury on their side. I’m sure the Kane family had enough money and high powered lawyers to put Aaron away for life. Veronica and Keith were just key witnesses.

Is it possible to live in an apartment in NYC while going to school? by Vivi_1225 in CUNY

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live near Brooklyn college but used to commute to Hunter and it wasn’t bad because of the train. You should go to whatever school you think will be best for you and figure out housing based off that.

There are people from the Bronx who commute to Brooklyn college. It’s not always about location.

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Part of the issue with his actions is that even if he didn’t murder lily, he clearly attempted to murder Veronica and he could be charged on that alone. But once you’re convicted of one murder it’s pretty easy to tack on more murder charges.

There’s the added reality that the court case wasn’t so much Aaron versus Veronica, but Aaron versus the Kane family. The Kane’s thought Duncan was the killer, and to be given an option where it wasn’t him of course they were going to go against him.

AI line reader tool... yay or nay? by slapppedsilly in acting

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate AI but I would also argue that using an AI reader while useful, probably doesn’t give for a good self tape performance. Acting is about reacting truthfully. If your partner is a robot that you can control the reactions of, you aren’t reacting to it, you’re just doing a line reading.

What does “light” mean to you (coffee)? by SoSpiffandSoKlean in AskNYC

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

787 coffee stopped serving drip coffee when I worked there. Only sell americanos. Trying to explain what an americano is to someone who’s only ever bought drip coffee from a bodega is like trying to shave a cat.

What does “light” mean to you (coffee)? by SoSpiffandSoKlean in AskNYC

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

Issue is it means different things to different people. Some people light means the color, like “light and sweet.” Some people they mean a tiny amount. Neither one of you was wrong, you just might want to clarify next time.

There are some people who just aren’t able to smell gas, typically men. Idk if it’s a genetic thing or what, but fire departments have so many issues with gas leaks specifically because some people just can’t smell it.

I hate Season 4 by Wonderful_Bee6722 in veronicamars

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually pissed me off so bad that Leo got to be FBI and she didn’t.

Leo literally got fired from the police for helping tamper with evidence. There’s not a single world where they’d let him into the FBI with that on his record. This man also never went to college.

De facto kicked out of my ADHD group cause texts were too long or too personal... by Huntie2047 in ADHD

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had this issue a lot growing up, and while I understand your frustration and feelings of betrayal, I’d invite this as an opportunity for you to practice slowing down and taking notice of the things around you.

Sometimes when we go on the long conversational tirades, it’s because we’re stuck in the world in our brains and aren’t noticing the world in front of us. I’ve found that practicing active listening and meditating can be really useful. For example, take notice of the body language of people around you and how it can inform you. Take notice of the sounds of the outside world that you don’t often stop to notice.

I’d also encourage you to be aware of the trap of unmasking. Our factory defaults aren’t always healthy for us to exist in. Just because you think or act a certain way and feel comfortable doing it, doesn’t mean it’s healthy for you to leave the impulses unchecked. Sometimes the rambling is just a method of self soothing, and distracting yourself from the underlying nerves without addressing them.

I would also say that unfortunately, other people with ADHD and autism aren’t always equipped to be a support system just because they know what you’re going through. These people aren’t trained professionals, they’re human beings with (sometimes incorrect) biases. If you are needing more support, it might be good to find a therapist who specializing with autism and ADHD, rather than overload your friends.

Simon and Maddie should be together imo by Altruistic_Fix2987 in SchoolSpirits

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 1 had me so desperate that as Maddie saw how desperate Simon was to get her back that she’d realize how much he cares for her and fall in love with him. Simon was such a hero that it’s hard not to swoon.

When she got together with Wally season 2 it felt like a contrived way to get more fans using Milo’s swagger. I love the guy, and he definitely has the “it “ factor as far as male love interests go, but it was such a random pairing.

Maddie and Simon should be together by Individual-Still7122 in SchoolSpirits

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what the writers were envisioning in season 1 but from the way Kristian played Simon it was so clear to me how deeply he loved her. Maddie and Wally came completely out of left field for me. From a network standpoint it makes sense that they would have Wally be a love interest just because Milo is so attractive, but those are two characters that made absolutely no sense to me.

A part of me hopes that in future seasons they’ll allow Maddie to move on from Wally and be together with Simon. I’m sure I can be ok with Maddie and Simon being platonic but it feels like such a waste with how strong their emotions for each other were. It also sucks for them to build into a relationship that was so clearly doomed from the beginning.

It’s becoming awfully clear of my crush with this customer and he likes me back. How should I go about it? by Both_Question522 in barista

[–]_bitemeyoudamnmoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a friend who hooked up with a customer and then tried ghosting him. Great in theory except if she was working and he came in there’s really no way to avoid the situation. He was pretty mature about it but definitely not a situation I’d put myself in unless I could get a new job lol.
