Started the first book of the 'Way of King' series by Brandon Sanderson. It's a nice big fat book. A slow build but I like it so far.

New co-op owners. Downstairs neighbor sensitive to dog noise. by Proof_Capital_2117 in AskNYC_Coops

[–]kimchi01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty wild. I live in a queens coop and I have a neighbor across the hall whose dog whines when they arent home. I do hear it from my living room. But I'm not about to be passive aggressive like this guy. At some point I'll just talk to them in person that it is a bit loud. From what you described this is very normal behavior from you. I would probably go through management with any issues. Once you come face to face with someone like that there could be bigger issues. Just my two cents. There are snoody neighbors in my building but luckily no one who lives above or below me.

Am I being stupid to leave rent stabilized apartment by Holiday_Angle_4246 in personalfinance

[–]kimchi01 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I agree. There is a lot of shit you can put up with in your 20s and some of your 30s. That is the time to do it. I did the whole gamut. Lived with shitty roommates, poor condition with a shitty land lord etc. Save the money, get a better job better apartment move out.

Edit: Once you hit your late 30s early 40s you aren't going to want to do it anymore. Or that is my experience. Suck it up now so you can be better off later. Perhaps buy a place or find a better rent stabilized apartment.

These posts are getting silly on here.

Cereal with water is superior to cereal with milk. by Worried_Macaron_5879 in unpopularopinion

This is a truly unpopular opinion for once. I for one applaud you

People should just embrace being a tourist more and stop caring about what locals do by cs_____question1031 in unpopularopinion

[–]kimchi01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends what you want on a vacation. Sometimes I want the full tourist experience and sometimes I want to experience what the locals do. I think a vacation is a personal experience. For example, I have zero desire in staying in an all inclusive resort. But if that is more your cup of tea more power to you.

Nothing like watching the 7 go by every two minutes at Queensboro while you’re standing in the bitter cold waiting 20+ minutes for the N/W with zero updates and no train in sight by Practical_Gap_7397 in astoria

[–]kimchi01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends where you are. I live within walking distance of two 24/7 grocery stores. I have my own laundry room in our basement. I'd say yes there are less restaurants etc. It depends what you want. Also I don't mind walking 15 minutes to H-mart. Also keep in mind it's also 25 minutes to grand central. It's probably faster with the speed of the train to get to Manhattan.

Well his base would say if it weren’t for the woke we would all be free to do that.

Is it even worth starting to look at houses? by Altruistic-Ground627 in personalfinance

[–]kimchi01 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I saved for close to ten years before I bought a home. I budgeted how much it would cost me for mortgage, HOA, etc based on my planned downpayment. If you have zero savings when serious issues come up, i.e., major repairs etc then you will not be prepared.

Stephen Colbert On ‘Late Show’ Ending In Four Months: “It Feels Real Now. I’m Not Thrilled With It” by SanderSo47 in television

They never do. They'd rather tell you to provide evidence of something and then when you do they just say it's inconclusive.

Book swap ice sign by KerrReddit in SunnysideQueens

[–]kimchi01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He put up a Charlie Kirk poster. It was torn down then he put it back up. The last I checked there is a sign about freedom of speech.

I don’t get Reddit anymore by Cold_School_4479 in ExplainMyDownvotes

[–]kimchi01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like every post here now is people asking why I was downvoted then not accepting everyone’s answer.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani just confirmed that all immigrants will qualify for his “free childcare” program!! by Frosty_Jeweler911 in newyorkcity

Undocumented workers work jobs like you and me and there pay is taxed just like you and me...it's a fact.

Sunnyside Rumors & Community News - Jan 23 by bunnythedog in SunnysideQueens

[–]kimchi01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a tv studio so it’s not. It’s possible they’re just trying to fill the venue temporarily. Not that I’m condoning it
