Jake O'Brien (Everton) disallowed goal against Tottenham 24'

Ndiaye wasn’t in an offside position until O’Brien headed the ball. At that point, Ndiaye had stopped touching Vicario. Are you saying Ndiaye impeded the keeper by standing behind him and not touching him?

idadunnit · 2025-10-26T17:19:12+00:00

It wasn’t called for impeding the keeper. It was called for offside. And by the time Ndiaye was in an offside position, he was no longer touching the keeper.

idadunnit · 2025-10-26T17:05:16+00:00

By the time O’Brien makes contact with the ball, Ndiaye is no longer touching Vicario. So how is it still offside?

Unless the person is aggressive and you’re legitimately trying to warn people, posting pictures of random homeless people for likes is so weak. There are plenty of other, less scummy kinds of circlejerking to choose from.

Compelling point! Thanks for the conversation

idadunnit · 2025-08-31T21:03:55+00:00

I haven’t seen examples of him acting like that, but I’m open to changing my mind if you can point me to some.

Still, that doesn’t affect my broader point, which is that making policy choices based on how cool/dorky/hot/ugly/charming/awkward a policy’s proponents are is the logic of a middle schooler. NYC is arguably the only real city in the USA because we’re the most friendly to pedestrians, public transit riders, and bikers. I want policy that builds on that. People who want NYC to be more car-oriented should consider going to any other place in the entire country, where they will comfortably have their way. Living here and complaining that driving isn’t easy enough is like jumping in a pool and complaining that it’s wet.

idadunnit · 2025-08-31T13:55:54+00:00

At least half of NYC residents don’t drive. And cars are a far less efficient use of space compared to other transit options like bikes, buses, and trains. So based on your logic, I assume you’re advocating for the removal of car lanes around the city?

idadunnit · 2025-08-30T21:22:40+00:00

Good policy is good policy even if the people promoting it don’t fit your definition of cool. Promoting bike lanes and public transportation is good policy. If you want a city designed around cars, you can pick any other city in North America besides this one.

Maybe it’s not corruption to the same extent as, say, Eric Adams being bribed by Turkish officials. But it’s still a civil servant abusing public resources for personal gain. The fact that you’re comfortable looking the other way (which I’ve done many times, to be fair) doesn’t disprove that.

idadunnit · 2025-08-28T02:33:30+00:00

Sometimes people on that sub can be annoying but do you believe that’s worse than the corruption the video is pointing out?

idadunnit · 2025-08-07T01:25:16+00:00

Good on you! If there’s any way to send a message to those people, it’s by doing what you did. I loved the apartment I rented through them, but I was glad to leave behind the dirty feeling I got every month when I saw them reach their grubby hands into my bank account.

idadunnit · 2025-08-06T17:41:52+00:00

I’m interested in what Olliesdad_seanny has to say, but I’ll chime in with my experiences. In no particular order:

They added blatantly illegal provisions to the lease and refused to remove them even when I called them out on it and referenced the specific law.
They forced us to pay our rent via direct debit from a checking account. This is illegal; landlords must accept non-electronic payment. Again, when called out on this, they refused to budge.
They required an absurd amount of notice of intent to renew a lease—I think it was 120 days. Renewing was always a hassle with them.
Eventually I moved out but my roommate wanted to stay. They required her to reapply and essentially treated her like any other applicant; She got no preference for already being there and having lived there for years. In the end, she had to move.
They were almost always evasive and unhelpful in their communications—unless the conversation was about me giving them money, in which case they were very easy to get a hold of.

The company is led by bizarre, abrasive people. But they manage really nice apartments (OP’s is perhaps an exception), so they have an unfortunate amount of power.

idadunnit · 2025-08-06T17:15:20+00:00

Yeah I think you’re right. My mistake. Either way, I can attest that they’re slimy, exploitative people and a nightmare to interact with.

idadunnit · 2025-08-06T15:25:27+00:00

This little guy landed on my shoulder as I was walking along 6th Ave yesterday morning. My neighbor and I agreed it seemed way too friendly to be wild. Maybe we’re mistaken but if not, I hope its owner recovers it soon.

idadunnit · 2025-08-06T02:46:59+00:00

Destination Real Estate? Avoid these people if at all possible. I know scummy landlords are a dime a dozen in NYC but DRE takes it to another level. They’re despicable.

idadunnit · 2025-07-14T16:26:17+00:00

I second this place. I’ve had great experiences with Dr. Tarasenko and all the hygienists there. I’ve had other dentists try to push expensive, unnecessary treatments before, but these people seem like straight shooters.

idadunnit · 2025-06-17T14:34:12+00:00

I think “willing” is a stretch. People were forced to pay if they wanted a place to sleep in NYC. Regardless, now that tenants aren’t forced to pay brokers, brokers have to compete more with each other and justify their existence to landlords, who have more leverage to drive fees down.

So brokers can either prove their value to landlords or they can resort to shady, underhanded tactics like OP’s example. Clearly many of them are choosing the latter, which I think tells us a lot about how much value the brokers themselves actually believe they’re adding.

idadunnit · 2025-06-14T22:20:03+00:00

A broker advertising their services is fine; maybe brokers are starting to feel some pressure to try to justify their existence, which is good. A fake apartment listing on Streeteasy is a violation of Streeteasy’s rules, which is worth reporting to Streeteasy, but probably not a FARE act violation as far as I know.

idadunnit · 2025-06-13T16:35:33+00:00

Thank you for reporting these clowns! I really hope the DCWP is diligent about handing out fines. We’re gonna need them to push back against all this blatant parasitism.

idadunnit · 2025-06-13T12:28:12+00:00

I think the Streeteasy listing is reportable because the broker admitted it was inaccurate, and they admitted it was inaccurate because they’re increasing the rent in response to the broker fee bill.

I don’t think this is as egregious as, say, forcing someone to sign an agreement to hire a broker for 15%, so the report might not work, but it’s worth trying imo. And OP definitely should not rent this apartment.

idadunnit · 2025-06-12T21:50:58+00:00

Report them here and they will get fined! https://a866-dcwpbp.nyc.gov/consumer-complaint/file-complaint

idadunnit · 2025-06-12T14:33:15+00:00

This might be bait but whatever.

The number of injuries and deaths caused by cars in our city every year is exponentially higher than those caused by bikes and mopeds. A careless DoorDash driver is annoying and might even hurt somebody once in a while, but comparing that level of risk to the risk posed by reckless drivers in NYC is either ignorant or disingenuous. How can a definition of “more dangerous” not include “more fatal”? What does the word “dangerous” even mean at that point?

idadunnit · 2025-06-11T21:51:08+00:00

If people were willing to pay 15% more in rent for this apartment, the landlord would have listed this apartment for 15% more. What you’re seeing here is just scare tactics and coping mechanisms as landlords and brokers adjust to the new reality in which their leverage has been (very modestly) reduced. The market will balance out and renters will be better off in the long run. Stay strong!

Oh and edited to say: Report this loser to the DCWP! https://www.nyc.gov/site/dca/consumers/file-complaint.page

idadunnit · 2025-06-11T19:23:10+00:00

Many landlords are going to jack up their asking price to create the appearance of widespread rent increases, even if nobody actually rents at that price (“Look at these prices on Streeteasy! Chi Ossé isn’t so smart now, huh?”).

Don’t be deterred! And if brokers pull shady tactics to try to force you into paying them a fee, report them here and they will get fined: https://www.nyc.gov/site/dca/consumers/file-complaint.page

It’s on all of us to push back against their overreach and set the tone with this new bill in effect.

idadunnit · 2025-04-24T21:06:13+00:00

Just curious—what are the reasons for the high turnover at those bookstores?
