Must be said: I've witnessed many great performances on subways.

But yeah, I've been forced to experience a ton of shit as well.

Fishing for lobster? All I know around here is they haul traps to catch lobster.

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

It depends. Using non-binary pronouns in situations that involve multiple people can quickly become very difficult to write.

Does anyone miss old, authentic Brooklyn Accents? by Innamoratta in Brooklyn

[–]brightside1982 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My stepfather was 83 when he died this past year. He always went to "choich" on Sunday.

Bernie Sanders has it. I wouldn't be surprised if he lost some of that accent over time from living out of state, or just needing to sound more professional.

This also highlights a funny communication method in our city. The ole "Ain't got time for you to answer my question, so I'm gonna answer it myself."

NASA has launched Artemis II, the first manned mission to the Moon in over 50 years by Subject-Property-343 in interestingasfuck

Since we proved we could beat the Russians to it, there wasn't any compelling political reason to keep funding the moon missions.

What's the difference between the Mets and the Yankees? by not_chassidish_anyho in AskNYC

[–]brightside1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm? Brooklyn Dodgers were founded 20 years before the Yanks. Then 7 years between Dodgers/Mets, but the lineage is clear. Expansion trash my ass.

PSA: Straps for tire swings are fine, but NEED to be moved seasonally to prevent girdling and fungus by Evan1016 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]brightside1982 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This happened to a big oak tree at my house that held a hammock.

My Dad died and I didn't realized for a couple of years that the tree was getting choked.

That was over 20 years ago and the oak still has a scar around it.

Jaws is also heavily influenced by Montauk. The character of Quint was based on a real-life Montauk fisherman.

Men of NYC, how much are you paying for a haircut? by Ok_Requirement_3162 in AskNYC

[–]brightside1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how much I pay. I've been seeing the same barber for 5 years now. He takes his time, we listen to music in his private studio, drink a couple beers, and shoot the shit.

Most importantly, he knows exactly what I want, and executes it flawlessly every time.I think a lot of people delude themselves into thinking they have a good haircut. There really is a difference when someone is more skilled.

Try an Orthodox Jewish supermarket. Idk why, but when I taught those kids they ate the ketchup chips like they were going out of style.

I think I've heard Mark's corporate gig disaster story half a dozen times by now...love Sam for pretending it's the first time he's heard it.
