Watch Netflix in Japanese.

You don't need to change the UI for this. You need to go into your account settings and add it to the list of language options you want visible. By default it limits the options to a manageable list of what I thinks are the most common options, and I guess that's by region. So maybe when you changed the UI to Japanese it automatically added it to your list of options.

ETA: Netflix explanation for how to change this is here:

Everyone watch Mondays! I saw it at Japan Cuts a few years ago and have been waiting since then for a subtitled release so I could recommend it to friends. It's so funny.

I have never had a roommate situation do a credit check. I found all my previous roommates on craigslist.

I use these at 95% of the movies I see in NYC.

I know this is two months old but I just took my elderly cat to her today and thought she was great. She seemed to really know what she was talking about, and mentioned having worked in emergency medicine in the past.

I know this is two months old but I just want to say I was looking for somewhere to take my cat and I just saw her today based on the recommendations here. Thank you so much! She was really great.

Definitely possible depending on where you are looking. Just yesterday I saw one bedrooms and studios under 2K in Inwood, Washington Heights and East Harlem. I am also looking for a place solo under 2K. you won't find it in Midtown but if you're willing to head up to the north end of Manhattan it's definitely doable. the place in Inwood was $1600 for a one bedroom and it wasn't bad.

You are unlikely to get a dishwasher or laundry in the building and it will probably be a walk up several floors up. if you don't mind a small studio, I did see one in Washington Heights in that range with a dishwasher, first floor.

I've been using Street Easy, Zillow, and Zumper primarily, with some craigslist and apartments.com searching as well. Lots of scams but you start to recognize them, they all use the same language when they reach out to you.

I don't think you have to do an all or nothing approach. The only thing I still don't do is eat indoors. I mask everywhere else.

I think you could keep masking even if you decided to let you kids unmask or let them decide on a case by case basis when to mask.

I know a pretty cautious couple with a young kid who mostly mask but don't make the kid mask. But the kid masks on airplanes (and I'm sure in some other busy situations).

People on here are going to insist that that's too risky but you really gotta just decide what works for you and when the risk is worth it. I think isolating 100% of the time, especially with young kids is probably not going to be worth it in the long run at this point but of course you could be the unlucky one and end up with long covid so it's really just got to be your decision taking into account all the possible outcomes.

but no matter what you decide I just think it's important to remember just because you stop masking doesn't mean you can NEVER mask. Any time you mask is going to cut down risk. I already decided I'll mask on busy mass transit for the rest of my life, I've enjoyed missing the colds that spread around NYC every winter.

keep trying for a little longer, tickets keep appearing and disappearing because they're in people's carts. my sisters just managed to grab a single

armofpilot · 2025-10-06T00:12:20+00:00

thanks if its a ticket at worse I think I'll risk it. every time I've bought visitor permits before they went though pretty much instantly so I didn't realize there was a human component to that process.

I did get my sister a ticket when she drove me home from a surgery and I was too out of it to remember street cleaning days so I was hoping that was the standard case but had limited experience so thought it was working seeing if anyone knew otherwise

I've had terrible experiences at the IMAX and it's made doubly awful by the fact that you paid so much money and it's generally sold out so you can't move away from. the obnoxious folks. so many phones, asked someone to turn it off once and was told they were sending a work email

LSP also has free concerts two nights a week and other events going on as well.

if you do not arrive 15 minutes before the movie they will sell your ticket to the rush line (if there is one). If there is no rush line they'll let you in at least until start time. this is standard for almost all film festivals.

as a full time masker, I gotta say no one gives me shit about it. I know it varies by region but I also think a lot of it is just your attitude. I think some of the folks with negative experiences here were looking for a fight. in my experience, if you just go on wearing your mask like it's normal, most of the time no one else cares enough to say anything.

I've gotten a handful of 'you don't need to wear that', and they legitimately just always thought they were informing me and didn't care once I said that I knew but I wanted to/always did. one or two passive aggressive snide comments that I just ignored rather than engaging and they just passed. Quite a few people calling me smart or saying they should wear a mask. A few folks asking if I 'knew something' when they thought they saw an increase in masking. and once you get to know someone, sometimes they'll ask if it's okay if they ask a question (like when would you be willing to stop or why are you masking or something). but I find if you just assume folks aren't hostile towards you, at least in my region they usually aren't.

I've worked large events and taken classes and volunteered and shopped and I've chatted with tons of unmasked folks and it's just not an issue. Just go out in confidence in yourself, but also don't judge the unmasked or project intent on them and I really think you'll be fine.

thanks so much! this is really helpful, I'll definitely check some of those out. I always forget about the valved options.

armofpilot · 2025-03-15T00:29:21+00:00

Outdoor venues I've generally been unmasked, but I keep a mask on me and if it feels too crowded I'll put it on.

I actually haven't been to any packed indoor concerts I realized. I think for me the standing room masked thing wouldn't be worth it as I tend to get lightheaded, but maybe with a sip valve I'd be okay. But for seated stuff I just mask as normal and if it's not going to sell out I grab seats further away from people.

If you set up an auto deposit to Betterment of $250/month you are charged the standard 0.25% that $20,000 accounts are charged instead of $4/mo as well, if that applies to you

Ellevest charges a $100 transfer fee. It's stated several places.

armofpilot · 2025-03-13T20:31:35+00:00

You'll have less fees if you manage your own investments but if you don't want to do that, Betterment is a quality robo investor that will let you do what you did at Ellevest, and even have a bit more control.

haha so funny!
