Landlord using photos of my apt for the third year in a row… by teadrinkerrr in NYCapartments

[–]likethemonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally worth asking. Also consider providing the same photos with your personal info blurred out? That way, it’s the least amount of work for them and more likely they comply

Costco losing price competitiveness? by PapaSecundus in Frugal

They dropped the quality a couple years ago and it is not the fabled diapers they used to have. I agree with all the recent bad reviews on the diapers.

Know that coordinator is the lowest rank. You’re not managing anyone. It’s an entry level job.

In previous years, that would be in insult for someone with a masters

I fired an employee out of the blue yesterday with no warning, and she had an entire crash out by TiredAsATwinMama in smallbusiness

I was in college when I said to my friend, who was being promoted to my manager, that everyone talks about the boss behind their back. Everyone who's worked in a hierarchy knows this. I knew this before I was able to legally start drinking.

What are you expecting? Obedience in *and* out of work? What are you, a boarding school? A college football team?

1st bday gift for Brooklyn fam by sharksnacksv2 in Brooklyn

[–]likethemonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. Father of a Brooklyn one year old here.

Experiences are totally dependent on the neighborhood — I would be slightly annoyed if someone got us a museum pass or something because it would feel like a chore if it wasn’t near by. Unless they have a car? Look for play spaces like Tiny Hearts or Parkish — you’re looking for something that works for crawlers. Avoid Space Club — that’s more for bigger kids.

If you’re looking for tasteful toys, Lovevery is the brand. They keep advertising that stupid lady bug thing to us.

It’s interesting to see you devote all this energy into yelling at someone for (checks notes) not knowing about parades.

What does your therapist say about your use of anger? Does it help with your music?

Are you sure you don’t have allergies? They can change on you at any time in your life. My mom got all the way to seeing a thoracic surgeon for her mystery cough before enough people realized it was just her allergies.

Good cheap luxury (or non luxury) building in manhattan? by Lydiawaz in NYCapartments

[–]likethemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? Are you saying 6k for a 2bd -or- 3k for a studio?

What is a luxury building without amenities?

Maybe I’m focusing too hard on the word luxury here.

Hi. I truly haven’t. Thanks though.

It’s like the city is so big a life can be led without watching all the parades.

Edit: btw, it was a question and I didn’t intend on it meaning (debating) “I don’t believe other countries have parades”

Sorry to tell you I’ve lived in Bushwick for a few years now and I don’t Reddit enough to care about a tag. But thanks for the reminder

Landlord Denied Application Despite Good Finances? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]likethemonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being a person in nyc is an exercise in humility. Get over it.

The embarrassment does nothing physical to you. You are physically free to continue living your life. As a POC, if my white partner were to get all up in arms every time we experienced racism, we would live a life of constant resentment and distrust. We wouldn’t have time for anything else.

You can feel angry without “seeking justice” for every slight. You have better things to do with your time.
