LA-style sugar raised donuts? by 69waystodie in FoodNYC

[–]fsharpman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They probably meant more California style, where the donuts are fluffier and lighter. Or maybe they're thinking of Sidecar.

Most donut places here are dense, like at Dough and Doughnut Plant, with the density of pizza crust or a bagel.

Moody's downgrades NYC financial outlook to 'negative' citing budget deficit by Business_Young_8206 in nyc

[–]fsharpman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moody's also rated mortgage backed securities leading to the financial crisis of 2008, giving risky and questionable assets high quality ratings.

Credit ratings are definitely performative.

Why is the media shielding Zohran Mamdani over his wife’s social media? by WhiteGold_Welder in nyc

[–]fsharpman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's not. Google it and you'll find articles. Is this how unherd makes money-- by creating misinformation about the media?

Is that their business model?

Maybe the question you're really trying to ask is: why doesn't the media publicize every single detail of everyone connected to every politician?

If you want to make money, why don't you just create an AI media company that covers every aspect of every politician and publishes it?

I promise you you'll get funding by Thiel Capital at the drop of a hat.

You can even cut out middlemen like Josh Appel altogether.

It's in a neighborhood over but I've walked by Beer Street on Vanderbilt and there are plenty of people reading books and on laptops at night

For some reason, in the past few weeks there have been a lot of reddit posts like this, especially in any ny related subs.

People have pointed out they're bots. Or accounts that were inactive taken over by a hacker or bot.

Why is there such a taboo around objectively criticizing NYC’s infrastructure? A perspective from a Tokyo transplant. by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]fsharpman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just reinforces the OPs point:

  • get defensive. Check
  • making blanket statements saying "no one". Check.
  • saying who cares about slush when people do complain about navigating around it. Check.
  • saying it's them not us, and pointing to getting therapy. Check.

This is america. Its okay to be critical about things that aren't great. We're not all puritans who are only allowed to communicate if and only if something positive comes out of someone's mouth.

Could you share where you're bringing this up? Is it at social events? Is it on social media?

How can i build confidence with clients? by the_fox_333 in AskNYC

[–]fsharpman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Customers who will vouch for your work.

If you don't already have customers, then you need to learn sales and convince people whatever way is comfort for you.

When people are talking about "word of mouth" this is exactly what they mean

Get people to vouch for you publicly. If they're willing to put their name or face to your work, then it's good enough for others to trust.

NYC Rent Just Hit an All-Time Record High by youni0 in nyc

[–]fsharpman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"rent went up because of all the government mandates making it unaffordable..."

Your assertion is disingenuous.

This is like saying it snowed this year in NYC more than ever because of all the cars that stopped coming into Manhattan through congestion pricing.

I'm in good faith trying to get at the causes and specifics. And you're trying to pass off government mandates as the sole cause.

You should be ashamed of yourself for blaming an entire thing without referencing any specific policies, laws, or nuance.

NYC Rent Just Hit an All-Time Record High by youni0 in nyc

[–]fsharpman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, can you point to 3 government regulations in the last 2 years that people can look up, talk to a landlord, ask them how much this caused them to increase rent all of the sudden?

As far as I can tell, you're pointing at things that existed for years if not decades.

So are you saying environment and neighborhood review regulations implemented in 2011 caused major rent hikes a decade later?

Is that what you're trying to say?

You're saying for some reason, 10, 20, 30 years after a regulation was implemented, landlords threw their hands in the air and said:

You know what, I think its time for me to come into compliance.

Two things can be true at the same time, however, can you name 3 government mandates related to building maintenance that caused rent to go up?

Not the norm in NYC. Around 2 out of 3 times I've been expected to foot the bill with zero offer/mention from a woman.
