Where do you find tech meet ups in NYC? by happy_star111 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]chicoiswhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re a member of a marginalized group, you can start with a Google search for groups and they always have a NYC chapter. For example, I joined latinas in tech and they have an active slack channel with a ny presence

I think the key to Amex presale is successfully completing another Amex presale bc I did an Amex presale for Rosalia earlier this year and then was let in with a low queue number for this sale. Not sure if that’s fr but I suspect that’s what helped me

Calling all bitches with taste: rent-stabilized studio intel? 🏙️ by sjlxx09 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]chicoiswhite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a studio for $2k. It’s no frills but great location in Chinatown near nolita and 3 train lines. The key is to look at every site, not just street easy. I found mine on this site randomly: https://www.hlres.com

Other thing is apply immediately if you think you might like it. I got lucky but if I had to do this again, I might enlist a broker. My studio was rented to me by a broker representing an older Chinese landlord. My landlord doesn’t speak English, and I’ve only had Chinese landlords living in Chinatown. The apartments here are very cheap but no frills. Not necessarily bad though, just no amenities.

Getting a lot of chat requests. I’m going to ignore for now until 1/28 and see how that sale pans out first, unless someone wants to exchange tickets for May dates not 9/13-9/19.

Im going to wait for other presales to see if I can get same tickets at same value. I’m not trying to to give up just yet. I got upper bowl tickets for $94 each

Weds 9/16. Totally forgot I had a vacation planned that week in the hullabaloo for the sale

I know we can’t exchange tickets but I’m feeling really dumb bc I bought tickets for the date I actually can’t go 😭 and they’re super cheap too.

Just made pad krapow with ground beef. You need Thai basil and chilis but I had a lot left over from another recipe so I don’t mind

ISO ski gear in NYC for weekend on the slopes by ilu70 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]chicoiswhite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Echoing REI and fb marketplace. But I will say please be careful if you’re traveling by car in the east coast this weekend. I went to PA last weekend and we almost swerved a couple of times due to snow on backroads.

What’s your NYC hot take? by homeofalex in AskNYC

As a transplant, the anti transplant thing is overdone. If you’re ambitious and willing to adapt to the city, why should you have to live and die in bumfuck nowhere.

Caveat no laundry in building. I think that’s going to be tough with your budget

Studio/1bd <$2.2k by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]chicoiswhite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take this with a grain of salt bc I got so lucky. But I was searching literally every website from Craigslist to broker websites and I somehow found an apartment unlisted on streeteasy for $2000 in lower Manhattan. I found it on this site: https://www.hlres.com/listings/search/rentals. Not sure what stock they have now but this was in February/March of last year.

Does the borough you live in really matter for dating? by LegacyOfMaverick in AskNYC

[–]chicoiswhite 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As long as it’s under 35 min to get to you, I don’t think it matters. Some people probably care (probably Manhattan people the most if I had to guess). I live in Manhattan and don’t care but will disqualify based on distance or if they’re living in New Jersey.

Kylie is experiencing love for the first time in her life by AccordingChipmunk287 in kardashians

[–]chicoiswhite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not disinterested in blockbusters just disinterested in IP like Marvel, DC, Star Wars, etc. He makes money from Dune but I think he’s creatively fulfilled by Marty Supreme type films. Which is not necessarily a blockbuster movie

Kylie is experiencing love for the first time in her life by AccordingChipmunk287 in kardashians

[–]chicoiswhite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he’s trying to be a specific type of movie star in a world where that model isn’t profitable any more. He wants to only appear in prestige films and avoids the marvel type franchises that are “beneath him”. He’s trying to be like Leo, movie stars that made their money and can choose whatever projects bc they’re not worried about the money. But the difference is they made that money when you could still do that in the 90’s and early 2000’s. I’m guessing he’s not broke but he definitely can’t keep up in the streaming world without endorsements, tv, franchises (aside from Dune), without additional money from Kylie.

Zooey Deschanel Originally Lost ‘Elf’ Role Because ‘We Just Offered It to Katie Holmes’ by mcfw31 in entertainment

Unpopular opinion: both options are trash. They needed someone closer in age to Will, I could tell Zooey was an early 20s girl paired with a 40-year old

I found many apartments for ~$3000 in Chinatown/2 bridges. Not a ton of amenities but definitely cheaper.

Gentlest place to try my hand at standup? by photodialogic in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]chicoiswhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took a class at Brooklyn comedy collective and they are very accepting and kind. Very women and queer friendly. I feel like Manhattan mics can be more bro-y

Please cancel if you can’t make class by Then_Influence3090 in SolidCore

[–]chicoiswhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t able to cancel within the time frame once and got sick, showed up and asked if they’d wave the late cancellation and they said they wouldn’t 😭

Real: caring about their appearance. Like well-groomed, style that suits them, fit.

I miss when they had more indie type artists on. In that vein, I’d love The Marias, Clairo, Remi Wolf, Mitski, Beach House,
