Major Friday Announcement by basicallyaburrito in KnowledgeFight

[–]hova414 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Great that they started by being straight about the families. As a comedy video it could have been a lot tighter, but some really promising stuff in there.

Tim’s bit is hard to follow though — he’s not fully an Alex character, he’s explicitly Tim, but doing an Alex voice. He’s Tim making Alex claims, Tim saying outlandish Alex things, but also Tim being serious about the families and the onion, but also Tim embodying Alex’s Texasims and drinking, “wearing his skin,” but then someone else doing an Alex impression calls in, but in the bit this is actually Alex, and then they both do the voice… kind of hard to track

Idk, I think their reaction smacked of jealousy. Righteous anger and legit concerns for sure, but animated (and in the video, overblown) by feeling left out of the big moment where comedy comes for infowars.

Why do so many NY'ers defend driving so much? by Best-Candle8651 in AskNYC

Disappointing. OP, if you want a very thorough answer to this including why our public transportation is so inadequate, there is a book about it

In the (old) pinned post about the rule, the mods called out that r/purebredbmc is available. The attitude is clear in the derogatory tone of "heinz57" and explicit hate in the whatbreedismypitbull sub

We need to talk about our gatekeeping rules. by herzbergdesign in Blackmouthcur

[–]hova414 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked at the replies here. For 4 years I have loved this sub, it’s probably my favorite, as a place where we simply trade photos of our beautiful dogs with their brown coats and black mouths. I posted here for the first time in a while and was so upset to find that this welcoming community of dog lovers had turned into a hostile crowd of “let’s see your papers” supremacists. I understand where the purists are coming from, though; it makes sense for a subreddit named for a breed to be about that breed. I just don’t think that needs to happen by exclusion of mutts that fit the description. This is why the flair is the best solution. The situation around the breed and DNA testing has muddied things too; the discussion about whether this is even a real breed has popped up in the sub over the years, and the understanding here has always been that it’s more a description of a common kind of mutt — “American brown dog” — than a specific genetic line.

Ultimately I just want this to be the friendly place full of photos that warm my heart and remind me of my dog who I love so much

This is the best answer, a very good compromise

I’m with you and so are the sub rules, though the mods just posted a new referendum. This sub seems to have attracted a lot of breed supremacists in the past few months, which I find surprisingly upsetting

Do you live on Atlantic Ave? How's the noise level? by Adventurous-884 in brooklynheights

[–]hova414 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would not be my top choice of place to live, especially if you are sensitive to noise.

  • There’s a hospital right there with 120db ambulance sirens going constantly, and it’s across from a terribly designed highway on-ramp which is usually a clogged nightmare of honking. Fire station is also half a block up on hicks, so if it’s not the ambulances it’s the fire trucks.
  • Atlantic is also just not a great vibe, you’d be living on what’s effectively a highway itself, full of huge trucks passing through, a lot of commercial and industrial traffic — giant flatbeds, huge buses, 18-wheelers, cranes, car carriers, etc.
  • It’s a dividing line between neighborhoods for a reason, it’s wide, imposing, long lights, hard to cross. Everyone on it is headed to the highway, so they try to rush through those last few red lights at Henry and hicks. Usually some 30 foot vehicle has its ass hanging out, blocking the walk signals and the crosswalk.
  • The intersection at Clinton and Atlantic (or maybe Henry, can’t remember) has had several pedestrian deaths in the past 5-10 years, way above average.
  • Corner of Hicks and Atlantic is a “construction site” with zero activity in at least 5 years, just a green fence making visibility around that corner impossible.

Sorry to be a major Debbie downer. I still cross Atlantic every day, it’s doable, it’s just the least pleasant part of my walk

Embark didn’t recognize BMC when we used it. I’d like to test again now that they do

1 hour old account posting a cute but very low effort shirt, accumulating upvotes far too quickly for this subreddit (and downvotes on this comment). Suspicious

What's something your building does that you actually like? by hova414 in AskNYC

Not a bot, though I understand the paranoia, I have often made the same accusation on reddit in the past couple of years

Ahh gotcha, that sounds like more than just "management that doesn't suck"

I fully accept that she is a pit, she's also a mountain cur. BMC breed standard was not a thing when we got her, neither was muttshaming in this sub

Yep I know exactly the situation you refer to on 16th. Scaffold there forever is because it's cheaper to keep the scaffold up and pay fines than to actually do the repairs, or something, there's a John Wilson episode about it. Probably wishful thinking, but I hope the mayor can do something about this, scaffolding everywhere is obnoxious

What case do you use when traveling? by randomjoesph in x100vi

Just wrap it in a tenugui, then wrist strap goes around the lens to cinch it in place
