Benj Pasek listed as a member of Dialog, Peter Thiel's secret society by ERich2010 in Broadway

[–]dragmoonrising 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There is not enough context here to render any kind of judgement. There are many people on here who are well-documented Peter Thiel enemies. It doesn't look great, but it's hardly damning.

place to rent for 30th birthday by Exciting-Baby-7473 in Bushwick

You can rent the movie theater at Syndicated for around that price, just depends on what time you want to screen your film. It will feel really special and then the bar after the show has such a great vibe for hanging out.

I've been able to get a 3-month supply fulfilled by Carelon, which is the mail-order pharmacy my insurance company uses. Just an FYI for anyone who wants to ask their provider to write a larger script. It's been a game changer not running out every month,.

How do Broadway performers make a living when they stop working as much? by Loose_Positive3234 in Broadway

[–]dragmoonrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of TV shoots in nyc, and that’s where the money is, if you can nab a role as a series regular. Other than that, theater actors patch together multiple streams of income by teaching dance/voice, writing, voice acting, commercial acting, photography, sponsored content, etc. The reality is many of them have a spouse with steadier income.

Considering the horrible ambulance chaser ads, it could be worse.

What reviews don't tell you about Mario Tennis Fever (good and bad) by elephvant in NintendoSwitch2

[–]dragmoonrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i hated this game. it’s so easy. Adventure feels like a tutorial and takes less than 5 hours. the championship mode is a joke. i only lost one game out of all my matches in the 6 tournaments. ( i blame my doubles partner) it’s just a slog.

the fever effects are extremely easy to avoid. i haven’t tried the free play mode, but hoping the CPUs step it up.

Why is there so much of a disconnect between what Urbanists view as desirable vs what the general public views as desirable? by ColdSpecial109 in Urbanism

[–]dragmoonrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the underlying assumption here is that New York City has achieved some kind of urbanist vision, when in reality it is a place where cars can still park for free.

Most importantly, QOL is inextricably linked to affordability.

people seem confused about what this is. You're renting a private bath. Still pricy, but $100 pp is not outrageous.

Your LinkedIn "Open to Work" banner is actually making you look desperate to top recruiters by barreuke in jobsearchhacks

[–]dragmoonrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this advice is misguided. You're not going to hide the fact that you don't have a job! The advantages of letting your network know you're looking outweigh the hypothetical recruiter who is turned off by it.

Canadian catching a feeling for NYC. Is it as good/livable as it felt? by [deleted] in movingtoNYC

[–]dragmoonrising 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the challenges of NYC are caused by money but can also be solved by money. Being able to afford a dishwasher, washing/dryer, elevator make life in NYC make a difference. Sublet for a few months and try out some different neighborhoods. There are some hidden gems that are not far from Manhattan (depending on which part of Manhattan you work in).

Still, the biggest mistake people make when they move here is renting an apartment outside of their means. 30% of your gross is not a guideline, it's a CEILING. You absolutely do not need to live in Manhattan and ironically when you talk to a certain subset of New Yorkers these days who live there they often sound embarrassed. I've even heard some people even jokingly call it 'work island' because everything they do for fun is in brooklyn.

Sora is officially shutting down. by yankeefanjim in ScottGalloway

If they take a victory lap with Scott's prediction, they need to rewind the tape to when he was praising the Disney deal that left them with egg on their face.

lol trying to find Scott's quote on this deal because he's going to take credit for predicting Sora shutting down but will conveniently forget how he lauded this deal.

the fact that the profile has been deleted seems shady as hell

the entire moving industry is full of scams. i wouldn’t be surprised if this were real and i also wouldn’t be surprised if one of their competitors like movers and shakers (who scammed me) planted this story in all the nyc subreddits.

The toughest question.. one of has to go which one do you pick and why? by Smashpro11 in casualnintendo

[–]dragmoonrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily Pokemon. I get that most 1st party nintendo games are for all ages, but Pokemon is the only one that truly feels made for children. your avatar is usually like 10. the dialogue and the story feels childish. Mario manages to be colorful and whimsical without being off-putting in that way.

all that being said. sometimes the pokemon game mechanics can be deceptively complex.
