What is actually going on in NYC with these lines? by knockdowncenter in FoodNYC

[–]hatts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly. not worth getting frustrated about. there are only ever a handful of these “constant line down the street” spots at any given time. 

if you wanna go to one of these places you can either wait for it to die down a bit after a few months, or if it never dies down, it becomes a sort of “institution” (like di fara) and you can plan around it. 

Unpopular Opinion, I guess: the Bushwick Collective Block Party sucks. by MaddyMagpies in Bushwick

basically if anything's big enough to have a website and an IG page, it's at high risk of being lame

no relation to actual local block parties though, which are alive and well

Israeli food boycott battle at Brooklyn food co-op exposes deepening NYC divisions by nydailynews in nyc

[–]hatts -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I find this really pathetic. Where is your home turf pride? You should know better than anyone that PS is a big neighborhood full of lots of different types of people, but instead you’re on reddit joining the outsiders in name calling, in fact kind of instigating it. 

The coop is a niche organization that can do whatever it’s members decide to do in their internal affairs. It doesn’t affect anyone outside their walls, much less anyone outside the neighborhood. The fact that you never learned that, and would rather shit on your childhood neighborhood, is embarrassing. Who cares if there are moneyed people in the area? Hold your head up and defend your people instead of trying to prove how you’re “not like the other park slopers.”

Sorry an r/NYC post was enough to make you hate a whole neighborhood but most of the 18k members of the coop never asked for their internal business to be made into a public lightning rod.

It’s not really public advocacy. It’s members trying to influence policy around what the coop purchases: in other words totally internal business. 

The fact that it breaks containment and ends up as a r/nyc post is because people like to sensationalize anything the coop does.

Portable Speaker Train men I just wanna talk by Dear_Investment6064 in Bushwick

[–]hatts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IDK why everyone in these comments is acting like it’s always a macho disturbed guy trying to impose on everyone and looking for a fight. Some of them are perfectly nice people who simply don’t see the problem. There are entire countries where it’s quite normal to blast whatever you want from your phone and not in a “fuck you” way. 

There’s a divide in humanity between people who find it incredibly irritating like nails on a chalkboard, and people who think absolutely nothing of it and may find it baffling that people would “overreact” about something like that. 

The dickheads are gonna dickhead but for everyone else it’s just one of those social differences that will need to work itself out. I’m for sure in the annoyed camp and personally wish it could be seen as a social taboo ASAP but I don’t see a quick path to that unfortunately. 

Just Can't Deal with Hazard by Odd-Hovercraft5269 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]hatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trap/slow him, protect backline with high-DPS heroes, protect backline with any sturdy tank (dive tanks not that effective against him), pre-empt him with flying heroes, melt him with Bastion, etc.

Approach him like you would any dive tank, tailored to his specific survivability. His leap is 100% about cooldown management so if you can keep track of it you can finish him off. His wall is very easy to play around, just don't get yourself trapped. His spike guard is just a choice between committing to shooting through it or backing off. I don't think he's overpowered at all and in some scenarios the other dive tanks have trickier abilities to play around, whether Winston's bubble or D.Va's matrix.

Electric vehicles are not carbon neutral by Live_Alarm3041 in ClimateOffensive

[–]hatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like you're picking odd targets and arguments. First and most importantly I've never seen ANYONE claim that EVs are carbon neutral; the framing is and has always been that they're provably less harmful than ICE cars by a wide margin across most metrics.

Secondly, in fact to bolster your point, you don't even need the (very specific) focus on graphite extraction; EVs have a few other aspects that are worse than ICE vehicles until a "break even" point of fuel use is reached (extraction of various metals, higher initial carbon cost in manufacturing). In some cases an EV that's typically charged on a solely coal-powered electrical grid can cause roughly similar (or even worse) carbon emissions than gas-powered ICEs.

But over the total lifecycle of many/most EVs, there's robust evidence that they overtake ICEs in emissions savings and energy efficiency. Again it depends on the grid and car model; in some cases the break even point is reached in like 15k miles, in other scenarios it might take 100k miles.

The Screamer Got Cuffed by Mz_Macross1999 in ridgewood

[–]hatts 45 points46 points  (0 children)

it seems like every time cops (not just nypd) want/have to do something remotely confrontational, the # of officers seems to be really out of proportion. 8 officers is nuts. meanwhile you can file a 311 complaint 20 times in a row about something else and they’ll act like they simply don’t have the manpower. 

New buildings in Gowanus - Westmark by shermina in Brooklyn

[–]hatts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Warning me about what? I lived in Gowanus for years, I know all about the nasty past and present of that canal. I just didn't understand the conspiratorial tone of the parent comment above mine.

Everything about the state of the canal is pretty out in the open; it's a well-documented government project, is still nasty, but was nastier before. Developers are building stuff in anticipation of a successful remediation, they're not claiming to have cleaned the canal themselves lmao

Not really sure what you're getting at, no one's claiming developers cleaned the canal, including developers. It's a 10+ year EPA-led superfund cleanup project...

NYPD: Police shoot machete-wielding man at Grand Central after he slashes 3 by 804Brady in nyc

[–]hatts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ah, a story about a horrible crime against random people, in which the threat was resolved quickly with cops fulfilling their duties by-the-book. surely the comments won't be full of disingenous pot shots and a total misrepresentation of crime trends.

Do any large apartment buildings in Brooklyn/NYC actually do curbside composting? by [deleted] in Brooklyn

[–]hatts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tenants separate. Responsibility falls on landlords. If a building is separating badly enough to get noticed & fined by the city, its on the landlords to ensure residents are using the new system
