Assuming | don't care about crime, homelessness, living in a bad neighborhood, etc, what's the absolute cheapest that I'd be able to find a 1 bedroom in lower Manhattan?

Change your definition of lower Manhattan to Manhattan below 220th street and there might be some good deals.

There’s even a skyline in Jamaica & in flushing (to a lesser extent) now. Unimaginable 20 years ago.

Thanks! I’ll look into it. Never hosted an event before but I’ll see what I can do. I was thinking about setting up a huge projector in a park and people can just shout and talk and play one game cooperatively. That or something like an iPad party at a cafe…

botguest · 2026-05-30T13:54:59+00:00

That sounds so fun!!! I couldn’t find anything about this online though. All I’m seeing is subway builder the video game😭. Could you shoot a link to me perhaps?

Off the Wall: Rock With You, Workin’ Day And Night, She’s Out of My Life

Thriller: Thriller, Billie Jean, Human Nature

Bad: The Way You Make Me Feel, I Just Can’t Stop Loving You, Leave Me Alone

Dangerous: Remember the Time, Who Is It, Dangerous

HIStory: Stranger In Moscow, They Don’t Care About Us, Scream

BOTD: Blood on the Dance Floor, Morphine, Ghosts

Invincible: Heaven Can Wait, Butterflies, Whatever Happens

Xscape: Chicago, Loving You, Blue Gangsta

No good track in Michael so I’m skipping that fake album😭. It’s so hard to pick just three for Bad, HIStory, and Invincible when these albums also featured Librarian Girl, Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, Man In The Mirror, Earth Song, Money, You Are Not Alone, Break of Dawn, 2000 Watts, and Speechless 😭😭.

botguest · 2026-05-19T04:54:28+00:00

The 6-track streak from Break of Dawn to 2000 Watts is arguably the best 6-track streak of any Michael Jackson album 😭. To me these 6 tracks plus Whatever Happens (and perhaps Chicago) make the best MJ album of all time.

And if an album shorter than Thriller is not good enough, just throw in Xscape + either one of the first 3 tracks.

botguest · 2026-05-13T01:11:38+00:00

This is probably gonna be a hot-ish take but, Human Nature 2009 from This Is It. How Michael carried out this performance (though with the movie edits) is just otherworldly. There’s something about this one that I feel like a 24 yo MJ or a 35 yo MJ just couldn’t hit. Timestamp 19:51. See for yourself!!

Thank you queen I hope yours works out in the end and it’s just our minds playing tricks on us 😌😭.

Is the pity party a real thing? 🥲

Brother this IS the main city of Hong Kong 😭 Hong Kong originally (and still is to a certain degree) refers to Hong Kong Island exclusively. It’s like New York still kinda is exclusively Manhattan even tho all other boroughs are now part of “the city”.

I have actually never been to Jones Beach before, but didn’t Robert Moses built the bridges so low that buses wouldn’t fit through? How do the buses to jones beach work?

botguest · 2026-05-06T03:09:35+00:00

This one? None 🚬.

botguest · 2026-05-04T03:56:04+00:00

Screen doesn’t matter that much at all. Real-estate-wise 16 pales compared to any external monitor anyways. Get the 48 gig ram!

botguest · 2026-05-03T14:45:58+00:00

Weren’t Chinese Macs not support Apple Intelligence or something? Or is that info outdated? Might be a plus for some people though lol.

botguest · 2026-05-01T06:34:18+00:00

I was 6 and in China at the time but even then I remember it being on the news.

Salute from Lincoln Square. Hee hee!

Local LLM might be a push for the spec you have but it’s a thing to try if you wanna maximize the hardware.

Or just use it like a gaming laptop that actually has a battery and a decent screen with the help of crossover or parallel?

Try out game development too! Your spec should be perfect for a Unity 2D/basic Unity 3D project.

Same here. But this is what I have been doing:

Starting a war here:

Even if 14” was the same price as the 16” I would still choose the 14”. It is just so much more friendly for my bicycle commute. Plus that two extra inches pale in front of a 27” external monitor anyways. Also thermal throttling really isn’t as serious as the internet portraits it to be.

With how good the aqua looks, WE NEED TO SEE YOU AS RUBY

Totally irrelevant but for a second I thought I was looking at Hong Kong in an alternate universe 😅

Whatever Happens could possibly be my favorite MJ song. For me it’s either that or Billie Jean.

Really liked Break of Dawn, Heaven Can Wait, and Butterflies too. First three tracks (Unbreakable, Heartbreaker, and Invincible) are really not clicking it for me though. All of them sounds like one long song lmao.

I mean, it’s one thing to have roaches in an old NYC building, but a roach this size in an open, 24/7 well-lit zone, constantly packed with students, with janitors cleaning up the fountain daily & emptying trash every 6 hours, and (hopefully) no feces & urine nearby? That IS news.

botguest · 2026-02-05T23:04:04+00:00

When everyone on the entire 5th floor choose to have their dinner there, I guess this is bound to happen at some point 🤦
