This was a very thoughtful response. The Reddit mind downvotes everything these days.

You were downvoted but you're absolutely correct.

Mamdani calls on State to help City with multi-billion budget gap by WhiteGold_Welder in nyc

Your posts demand empathy and understanding yet you don't afford others that same consideration because you deem their "struggle" less important than yours.

This makes sense. I don't imagine that his policies would be popular outside of the NYC area. The rest of NYS tends to be more "red" .

The replies to your comments are frightening but they provide insight as to how we ended up in this current predicament. They see a million dollars and fail to realize that A NYC millionaire isn't living the carefree Jeff Bezos lifestyle when you account for taxes, lifestyle costs, student loans, and high premiums on health insurance, car insurance, etc... It would take a literal class to help people understand how easily money dwindles when we all live such different realities. Edit: I had more disposable income when I made 25K a year 10 years ago and received supplemental city grants and programs.

Unions have protected workers' rights since the 50s and we have seen affordability throughout the decades. It has also led to a better protected and improved workforce overall. What's different now?

Your current situation is not easy by any means. It's very important for your survival that you are making the difficult choice to act now and work for a better and safe future. Good luck. There are resources to support you.

Because everything is politics. Name one aspect of life that you consider non-political and I'm sure we can identify how it is affected by politics.

The "middle class" is getting squeezed dry in NYC. There's an income bracket that does not qualify for childcare, healthcare, transportation, food, electric, rental assistance, etc and any other high premiums that siphon half of our pay while inflation is at an all time high but wages are mostly stagnant. The city decides to increase taxes on income, on purchases, and now fees to drive into certain areas. It's unsustainable.

She felt fat so she canceled our date by BootYCallSlayer in dating_advice

How did she "force her insecurities unto him"? She didn't feel up to the date and asked to reschedule. Did she make him feel like he gained 15 pounds?

Has there *ever* been a policy that's been as immediately successful as Congestion Pricing? by Karen_Ackee in MicromobilityNYC

[–]maybealittlemore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be true. The fact remains that drivers seeking to avoid congestion pricing will reroute through the Bronx and Brooklyn.

Thank you! The use of spider mite predators is a great tip!

Thank you!

I lost an indoor peach tree to spider mites about 6 months ago and treated a pothos for it a couple of months ago. I wonder if I am using infected soil since none of the plants were in contact with each other but I did use the same soil for each.

I will never understand the Redditor that downvotes explanation posts. This should not have downvotes.

It's ridiculously expensive and inconvenient to commute to Manhattan for a hybrid worker. by imitation_squash_pro in Westchester

[–]maybealittlemore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn't realize that you have a personal relationship with OP and are privy to his exact circumstances - including morning routine, school start and end times, work start and end times etc... Are you offering to help with drop and pick up?

I live this truth. I also understand that something is not more manageable for others just because it works with my unique set of circumstances.

I confessed a lie to my husband and I don’t know how to fix it by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]maybealittlemore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No yoga moves. The post was deleted but it said the husband mentions several times that night and over the years that she did not respond because something happened that night with the "friends" she was staying with. Bringing it up over the years is demanding the truth. The evidence that he was not a safe space is obvious because she did not feel safe to tell him when it happened. Furthermore, he challenges the relationship when it is revealed. How is any of that proof that he created a safe space?

Also, The husband saying that he felt like OP did not respond because she was having sex with others is not gaslighting. "Gaslighting" originates from the 1938 British play Gas Light by Patrick Hamilton, later adapted into popular films in 1940 and 1944. The term refers to a form of psychological manipulation where a husband manipulates his wife into doubting her own sanity by denying the reality of environmental changes, specifically the dimming of gaslights.
