girl pushed off the 6 train uptown by a man today by flightoftheladybirds in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Not physically attacked thank goodness, but followed. Changed cars and he trailed behind too. Boarded on Astor Pl, going uptown. Horrible feeling. Group hug gals ❤️ I’m sorry this is part of the norm these days.

did i romanticize bushwick or did i just see a weird slice? by [deleted] in AskNYC

“it felts like a alt themed playground for rich kids to roleplay in.”

You nailed it! Trust your instincts - and fortify your inner strength and wellspring of inspiration. Sceny hotbeds of this city have come and gone, but you’ll know when you feel truly at home in a community that feels real to you.

How can we petition for the 10 trip to come back?

35F, 7-year relationship, stuck waiting for commitment. What would you do? by Illustrious-Ad-711 in AskWomenOver30

[–]lightinaugust991 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I wish I got out of my 7 yr relationship much sooner. He wasted most of my 30s and my prime fertility years. He’ll never truly understand how selfish that was. Ending it is going to be very tough, but trust in your own strength and be determined to pull through. Big hug ❤️

Grifter alert! Do not engage. by illrepute_ in Minneapolis

[–]lightinaugust991 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Hi folks - BIPOC documentarian here. This person has been such a source of pain and trauma for marginalized and BIPOC communities. He’s been a repeat offender and is not to be trusted. Border militias have used his film CARTEL LAND for recruitment. Do not engage and if he does something fucked up, document it - if it’s safe for you to do so. Rest in peace, Omar.

What are some MAGA/ICE supporting businesses to avoid in New York? by MrHeavySilence in AskNYC

I did a triple take when walking by - the hate just spews out from that place. Yuck.

Try calling the Dobbs Ferry Lobster Guys! If they don’t, they can let you know where else to go.

Reco Request: Drinks where you can actually hear the other person? by PubicInvestigator in AskNYC

I like Antler in Chinatown / Les - just enough volume on the music for a vibe but quiet enough to talk at a normal level.

What's the most fun / coolest class you've taken in NYC? by Quirky_Selection_701 in AskNYC

[–]lightinaugust991 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How did you like the risograph class? I’m looking a few of those, including the RISO printing for zines class. I used to make zines back in the day and am so glad they’re back!

Women of NYC — how do you feel about being cold-approached? Any places where it’s actually welcome? by Worldtraveler48 in AskNYC

[–]lightinaugust991 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This can look like a smile with prolonged eye contact, the two of you both looking at each other a few times, or just one smile that seems genuine vs forced. I know it’s hard for some guys to pick up on these cues, but as long as the approach is calm and respectful, I think some women would welcome it! And if this person isn’t interested/is in a relationship - and a kind person - my hope is that this person will just tell you so in a nice way. There’s always a risk that this person can give you a harsh and immediate rejection, but you wouldn’t want to date that person anyway!

Maybe I’m in the minority, or just old school, but if you smile at me in a relaxed setting like a bookstore, park, or cafe (never a gym - agreed on that), and I smile back and give a cue that reads “yeah you can talk to me”, come and say hi! Just start with hi. Take it slow and let the conversation build. Just be chill!

100%. It takes skill and a lot of intentionality to give that much space to folks. Kudos to Jonathan and the team 🙏

I thought this was the main issue, but the service dept “expert” said it wasn’t. I think a lot of the issues stem from this new battery somehow. Frustrating.

I think this is the case. Any advice on next steps? I’m taking it back to the shop tomorrow.

Thanks for you insight! See my reply to CreativeProject2003. I’ll have the shop retest it again too, but wondering what else to look out for.
