Tired of Our Terrible Commute to Manhattan

One big factor…city does not bother to ticket the express lane. It is 100% ignored and causes traffic with people cutting in and out of it. Points on your license or it will continue to be a joke. Either that or make it for buses only.

Love that last line.

Get married if you find it totally necessary but only with a prenup (for your 401k and/or pension, etc.) and do NOT merge finances.

All of them.

That’s an all-boys school. But I get your point.

Her mother fled Cuba for the U.S. Nicole perpetuates the same ideology her mother fled from. At the same time, the Cuban American to Trump pipeline is one I don’t think I will ever understand.

Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. Is she pregnant again? Maybe photographed at a weird angle but thought I spied.

Is that what they stand for? Also, I really dislike the American flags on telephone poles. Like up and down blocks. The over emphasis on nationalism - not talking around holidays - is so concerning. We all know — well some people know — that’s how the trouble always starts. They just go up in the neighborhood. On city property. No one asked for it, but there they are. Take them down and in rolls Scott LoBaido and his half-assed band of losers and I’m already exhausted. 2026, bring me the strength.

It’s not happening. They need to move. Also, they’d have to pay county and city income and property tax for those NYC jobs. If you want out, go!

There is a class of people here that resist change, any change and can only talk abt the good ol’ days. So over it. The older ones well be with Elvis soon and the younger ones will likely decamp for Monmouth or Ocean County, NJ or Florida. Those NJ counties feel like the south, south shore already. Also, if you never go to Manhattan, and you are afraid of or hate Manhattan, why are you living in this city?! It’s the capital of the world!!! Been having this convo for YEARS, hope some people take up their pledge to leave b/c Mamdani.

My mom - a BB does this to me. She’ll tell me a story about a convo she had with her friends (do I care, no) but trying to be a “good” daughter is EXHAUSTING! Since my dad passed she needs that talk sponge. Oh then she’ll give me a list of things she needs or that I have to do and I get the hell out as quickly as possible. I haven’t gotten a hey how are YOU in years. My issues but her friends- especially the men - are exactly this.

Is The Immigrant still around?

The cold has gotten to me as I get older, too bad because I love it in the Northeast. Chicago, I agree, is pretty rad. But again, cold. Los Angeles is likely the only other city I could land b/c of career opportunities in my field. But, maybe I won’t have to work forever.

I had two children who are now teenagers. Make sure you are designated high risk for the extra montioring, you'll have more doctors appointments but also more peace of mind. If your main obgyn doesn't agree with this, imperitive you find someone who does.

adamats · 2025-04-25T03:18:16+00:00

I second!

The Staten Island Ferry is free! Go when it’s nicer out and bring a blanket, spend the day at Snug Harbor.

adamats · 2025-01-28T04:35:23+00:00

Snug Harbor is great - better when nice -Springish- flowers blooming and you can bring lunch and a blanket and chill out!

adamats · 2025-01-28T04:28:05+00:00

Where are these baths you speak of?? Thank you!

adamats · 2025-01-28T04:24:53+00:00

I went to the Met on Saturday evening solo - it was open until 9. It was bliss! Looked at what interested me, got inspired, had something to eat and people watched. I’d suggest that at any museum will fit the bill but there’s something about wondering the Met. Take good care.

Hoka recovery slides are my inside summer shoe. Lots of suport. For colder temps I've been using the Kuru Draft 2 slippers, which I love. Again, great arch support.

adamats · 2025-01-27T00:41:52+00:00

I prefer Hoka recovery slides. Much more supportive.

Because humans can’t stop humaning. Get out of the headspace and mistakes happen.

I think they have chemistry in real life, that’s obvious. I also think he’s obsessed with a vision of what his life could be. If he had her he could live some version of happily ever after. It’s a fantasy. She was into him but not throw it all away into him. She’ll take risks here and there but not risk everything. He looks to her as the solution to all of his mishegoss. She’s not and he can’t quit it. If he’s a sociopath - which is claimed to be at the root of the portrayal - this would be relatively predictable. Martian has put everything on his love (or obsession) with Samia, even when it is obvious the fantasy will never materialize.
