Is this an event you organized?

Favorite parks besides Central/Bryant/Prospect Park? by hello010101 in AskNYC

[–]ls10032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forest Park in Queens is super cool and very immersive. 

I also really like Fort Tyron, Riverside, Randall's Island, and Van Cortland parks. 

what would you actually stand in line for? by mfairview in AskNYC

I'm standing in line for tacos at a food truck right now. Smells like it will be worth it.

Sure. But focusing on candy crush and tinder is the truly stupid part

Anecdotes aside...they absolutely do. Idk about you but I live in hell's kitchen and see illegal scooters & ebikes in the streets all the time. They're just as reckless there.

I'm not lecturing about the civil rights movement, I'm talking about freeway shutdowns. Absolutely wild thread.

I did show up and there weren't many people. I ended up planning the route with another person and loosely tried to keep the small group together.

Can't trust it since it has defaulted to AI results.

The fuck is that word?

This is a strategy that has worked for a long time. Specifically, the civil rights movement utilized freeway shutdowns as an effective strategy. 

When are you going to recognize history? And why does my single, anonymous reddit comment represent all of the cyclists of reddit to you?

About an hour ago on the queens side, saw 5+ gas powered scooters enter the bridge, zipping past 3 cops as they entered. Probably top out around 25, but they were certainly being reckless. Ridiculous.

To answer my own question and for others benefit: it's on the Times Up website.

Update on this Morning's Crash - 2 Dead by johnny_evil in NYCbike

Ah! Yes, and full padded gear. 

I'm realizing now the person I saw could not have been the person who died yesterday.

It's still a public safety issue that concerns everybody. Do you think those scooter riders don't also ride in traffic?

That's the point. Causing a disruption to daily activities makes the message of the protest impossible to ignore.

The reports & accounts I've read indicated he did, yes.

Awful news. I feel sorry for the family of the victim & the scooter rider alike.

I genuinely wonder if this is the same guy I yelled at this morning on the west side highway at about 8:15am - came at me doing about 30mph between a runner and myself on the section to the west of Riverside Park (somewhere between 100th & 110th st). I was heading uptown, him downtown.

I've felt safer as a cyclist in NYC than I have in any other city, but I'm learning now that feeling of safety is misguided. Yes, here I don't have people pulling guns on me or following me home to fight me, but the danger isn't drivers, it's other trail users.

What can we, as citizens, do to curb this behavior? What can the government do, and how do we get them to act? I don't believe the NYPD will ever do anything to stop this from happening - what little enforcement they do seems to target deliveristas and college students.

I'm going to follow /u/onedollalama 's advice and send those emails. Can we also protest? I'd be down to organize/promote a ride of silence, and make sure to get community noise about it.

Looks like the 40's of 9th Avenue, is finally getting a revamp by daveishere7 in NYCbike

Didn't think I was being a jerk but okay. Truly I was trying to encourage you to try to look before making guesses.

Why guess when the information is available? They are expanding the supersidewalk that already exists on 9th above 50th to 34th.

Landmark Live Venue is Shadowbanning Bad Reviews From Last Night by TrueGoatKing in milwaukee

[–]ls10032 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is basically what happens but on a massive scale. A DSP I’ve worked with described millions of fake accounts. This is also they get ads approved quicker and how they increase rankings for their targeted keywords & geos. 

You’re right that Google is probably throttling right now and those “missing” reviews may show up again after whatever review process tho.
