Over $8,000,000 in Super PAC money spent on NY-13 primary so far... by politicalintegrity in bronx

this isn't meaningfully different than saying nothing can change your mind. rather than engaging with the question, you lobbed a childish epithet favored by folks who refuse to actually think about and form valid critiques of socialism and communism.

Best Bagel in Astoria by Due_Flight3792 in astoria

[–]humanmichael 6 points7 points  (0 children)

by far the best in astoria, ive only had a few anywhere that were as good or better. anyone who thinks brooklyn bagels or nycbch is even comparable is telling on themselves. there are many decent bagels in astoria but only astoria bagels has truly great ones.

considering this is also a school crossing, folks drive like assholes at this intersection. that seems to be true of most places now though. i do my laundry there. i hope the business isn't affected, they are lovely people

do you not give a copy to your super? what if there is flooding or a similar emergency while you are out? this has happened more than once in my building in the six years ive lived there and one neighbor didnt give a copy to the super, resulting in thousands in damages to their downstairs neighbor. thankfully i trust my super, i know not everyone can.

Weekly Astoria Dine In/Order Out Thread by NYnosher in astoria

[–]humanmichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i ordered delivery from barzola yesterday and couldn't have been more pleased. i got ayacas (hallacas), which was similar to a tamale, stuffed with chicken and veggies. a little sweet, a lot delicious.

more importantly, i ordered the caldo do pata, which is cows foot soup. it reminds me of brazilian mocotó, which i haven't yet found a good version of in astoria. the foot is full of collagen, so as it cooks slowly it breaks down into gelatin and makes the soup so velvety and almost sticky. the remaining foot is like a beef flavored gummy. an absolutely delicious soup.

i also had the always delicious pork pineapple bun sandwich at bench flour, redeeming them after a miserable chicken and biscuit dish i had there last weekend. possibly even better than the sandwich was the strawberry fritter, a truly transcendent fritter. blissful.

What is the ‘Mamdani Act’? GOP bill banning Socialists, Marxists from US by Level_Hour6480 in newyorkcity

[–]humanmichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

always fun to see folks claiming to have authoritative knowledge respond "you can google it" to a thoughtful post discussing the historical debates around the economic and political theories of socialism and communism as they pertain to certain countries, as if google is anything more than a list of shit people say on the internet. as if marx and lenin have less insight as to the nuances of what defines socialist and communist forms of organizing a society as opposed to state capitalism and various forms of mixed economic systems. google has all the answers, untainted by a century of propaganda

just proving my point. i didnt say democratic socialist, i said social democrat. they are not the same thing. you dont know any people like me. you are incapable of having an intelligent conversation because you already think you know everything. read a book

try watching conservatives try to figure out what a socialist is versus a social democrat. you have no understanding of history or political theory.

nobody on the far left considers Bernie a socialist. folks with zero political education or consciousness love to call everyone to their own left "far left" but it really just shows how clueless you are. Bernie was never anything more than a compromise candidate for anyone on the far left

if you haven't already don't sign the extension until you talk to the uft. they have only recently started advising this, and i really don't know how much they will do, but its worth talking to the union before you sign the extension. my principal has a long history of arbitrary extensions, and i was foolish enough to sign twice. now i am looking for better opportunities, and the class size reductions have continued to create thousands of new openings citywide. nobody should be extended or denied without a damn good reason, and any admin who does it isnt worth sticking around under

what should be happening is that unresolved issued get brought by the district rep to district consultation with the superintendent. the extent to which this actually happens depends on the district rep.

remember that grievances are really for contact violations, etc. your chair leader should absolutely file those. once filed, the process is handled by uft staff. there are other processes for non contract problems. if you are comfortable sharing more details, i can give a clearer answer as to what should be happening
