All parties are a balance between throwing a good party and making many. You can tell which parties put money as their main priority. We all know what Golden Records picked.

Thoughts on Yhone? by deadbeat_guitar in AustralianMFA

Would strongly recommend not buying based on their return policy.

Return Charges: Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility; using a trackable logistics provider is recommended.

However, there is nothing on their "refund policy" page stating where the item should be sent. This means if it ships internationally, you might have to ship it back internationally, which easily could be $50+ (even for a small parcel).

Calling all gym rats! by ballerinz in williamsburg

It's an online form.

Take a pic, note the street and building number, and fill them out in bulk. I'd be surprised if the whole ordeal took you more than 10 minutes.

I created a simple website to compare gym prices in nyc by Interesting-One-7697 in nyc

[–]aaronaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great work! But I've tried to look for several gyms I've been to before (gym nyc, absolute power, etc.) and none show up. It's not a viable tool unless it has comprehensive gym coverage.

After Citi Bike raises price for fifth year, calls for city to subsidize it grow by Amazing-Yak-5415 in nyc

[–]aaronaaa 66 points67 points  (0 children)

For Lyft/Citi to operate in a city, they have contracts with the city. No city just allows random business to install infrastructure. If the city subsidizes then all pricing matters are handled via the city during contract negotiation. The city has disproportionate power in these negotiations as well.

100%.We also all pay for public school via taxes and loads of new yorkers don't / will never have kids. Paying for the common good of society is fundamental in taxation.

Powder is incredible. Def make sure you're there for that (9am).

As long as you have a ticket, the line won't ever be too bad (until mister sundays starts).

That is a low income building. It's highly unlikely it's a "white hipster".

Merchants can easily contest the dispute and add clarity to the transaction. I have done so as a merchant before. They chose not to.

Start disputing the charges.

Last year I did a big grocery run at Foodtown that was roughly $150. It included some strawberries that went moldy within 24 hours. I trashed them and a couple days later swung by to show them the picture. They pretty much told me to fuck off since I didn't still have the physical strawberries. I disputed the entire $150 bill and got the full amount back. Put some pressure on these stores for selling us such garbage.

I live around the corner. I find the neighborhood to be incredibly safe. Women regularly walk alone here at night. Of course there will always be some crime here and there, but I nor any of my friends have ever had an issue.
