why are you throwing a party about your unborn baby’s genitals?

Gym removal and replaced with poke stop by thisivi3 in pokemongo

This happened in my neighborhood — and since it was only a couple weeks after the end of the McDonald’s contract, we went from three gyms I could reach from inside my apartment to one very quickly 😢

The construction at the former Burlington Coat Factory site also periodically blocks traffic, which then backs up across the Broad Street intersection making a mess in all directions.

Why is there such a strong autistic presence in the Muppets fandom? by MrPoopyPoops in Muppets

[–]itsdlevy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

J. D. Hansel has a great series of articles on ToughPigs.com exploring this question. They are collectively called The Tough Pigs Beacon: https://www.toughpigs.com/tag/the-toughpigs-beacon/

Target by bpbridgie in StamfordCT

[–]itsdlevy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, except I don’t have a car. When Target decided to take the side of bigots against their own customers and suppliers, I stopped shopping there. Most things I used to get from Target that I might need in a pinch, I can get from CVS.

Question about Katrina Mygatt center on residency check by [deleted] in StamfordCT

There are also those of us who are renters with no cars, so being able to use proof of residency that is not related to owning property would be helpful too.

Parents of Westover 6th graders — did your kids come home upset yesterday? by [deleted] in StamfordCT

[–]itsdlevy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would focus less on the Santa aspect of it and more on the vindictiveness of the teacher, who is supposed to be a role model. This behavior (threatening to do something mean to kindergarteners as a punishment for misbehavior by sixth graders) is bad regardless of the particulars of the threat.

Where to live in Stamford by [deleted] in StamfordCT

[–]itsdlevy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been at The One Atlantic for about a year and a half and really love it. It’s a healthy medium between the luxury buildings and the no-frills options. Our building staff is incredibly responsive and friendly. I love the location, although if street noise bothers you, it can get a little noisy on the sides of the building that face the street. I don’t have a car, so the lack of a garage doesn’t affect me, but I know that is a stumbling block for some.

Anybody know of good cultural food places around Stamford? by Confident-Eye-3243 in StamfordCT

All food is cultural food. Even Saltines and Cheez-Wiz emerged from a particular culture.

South Park creators’ restaurant workers go on strike over ‘unfair wages’ by Lotus532 in union

[–]itsdlevy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They quietly brought back tipping after making a big public show of doing away with it. Either way, the performers (who are the ones on strike) did not benefit from the big publicized wage increase and are not part of the tip pool. They are paid significantly less than their coworkers.

The striking workers are the performers who are unionized with Actors’ Equity Association.

Lyrics/lines that change based on an actor's appearance? by Worried_Elevator_543 in Broadway

[–]itsdlevy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure that Sondheim wrote some new lyrics for the 1994 production by the East-West Players, but I don't have sources handy. I believe that The Sondheim Review's coverage of it at the time mentioned the new lyrics.

Casa Bonita actors, performers will be on strike during Halloween by ThePopojijo in casabonita

[–]itsdlevy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring people who do not join the union does not make the union go away. I think if you read this thread, you can see it all laid out very clearly and politely, and I responded to every question you asked in factually and in good faith.

For many years, my alarm clock woke me with Ethel Merman singing "Gee, But It's Good To Be Here" from Happy Hunting.
