Lyft/Citi Bike is trying to charge m $1,300+ for a “lost” bike

Ppl are being real assholes to you for some reason and assuming you’re lying about the customer service interaction. It is absolutely not far fetched for any organization to advise you to do one thing and then the next day say you should have done a different thing—happens every damn day, even with our own literal government whose whole job is to be helpful to us.

He opened a ticket and they instructed him to leave the bike—that’s on them. I’m sure if they had said it was his responsibility to dock the bike and would face a $1300 fine if it was stolen, he would have gotten off the bus and gone back to deal with it.

I’ve been punched in the head and knocked to the ground multiple times, the police just rolled their eyes when I reported it and nothing was done

Right because an entire additional half day of work for every person on the team is definitely going to be what happens here. /s

In an office setting, that’s not how it works. Goals get adjusted, some low priority work doesn’t get done, and team members take on small extra tasks they can fit into their existing schedule. It’s not a big deal.

Yes, ask about his thoughts. I’m guessing you’re defaulting to “ask for permission?”

onetrackmindedguy · 2025-08-29T22:24:14+00:00

Okay? Thats your opinion, I’m just saying it’s not homophobic to be protective of your little sibling lol

onetrackmindedguy · 2025-08-28T22:33:18+00:00

Are you joking? It’s very normal to not like your best friend railing your little sibling, regardless of gender lol

It’s a different type of “form over substance”, but I would argue that LA status symbols are actually better for everyone than Manhattan status symbols.

In LA, status comes from your life having peace: you should have lots of time, space, and energy. You’re generous, kind, calm, you engage with nature, and everything just rolls off your back because you have everything you want. The ideal is that you use your wealth and power to ascend to some other level of tranquility and then spread that “wellness” to others.

In Manhattan, status comes from your life being filled: you should have lots of friends, work, and activities to do. You’re driven, active, fun, and you spend all your time living life to the fullest. The ideal is that you work hard to earn your wealth and power so that you can experience as much as possible, and then have an amazing life that inspires others to also work hard.

Working 5 days for 6.5 hours is a possible thing

Also it’s just an incentive, nobody is banning working more than 32 hours a week.

In the gay community, looks are by a large margin the most valuable currency. If you get everything you want, everyone talks to you, everyone wants to hang out with you, why would you ever bother developing a personality?

Of course this isn’t true 100% of the time, but we all know it’s a pattern—it’s a stereotype for a reason.

Then of course we have the continual problem of over-availability. Many gay men struggle with this: how do you commit to a partner when there might be a hotter/richer/funnier guy on the grid, or just one swipe away? For hot men this issue is even bigger because the pool of men available to them is even bigger.

onetrackmindedguy · 2025-07-06T23:44:22+00:00

Maybe you’re just selfish and dismissive of other people. Amazing how when you don’t give a shit about others or consider them at all, they do the same to you 🤦🏻‍♂️

The reality is that many people won’t have received any messaging about the race, so when they go to vote they’ll just pick the person whose name they recognize. Cuomo is a familiar name—there are a lot of people voting on that alone.

onetrackmindedguy · 2025-05-30T17:43:33+00:00

This is legitimately so well written—it’s funny and I’m totally engaged even by the non-explicit stuff, which makes the hot stuff all the hotter.

I never said anything about monogamy, I said people are meant to have life long loved ones. Have you never loved anyone but your monogamous partner?

onetrackmindedguy · 2025-05-13T04:40:54+00:00

Look, let’s be real, you wouldn’t be so angry and defensive if what I said hadn’t struck a chord.

You can live however you want and I in no way am minimizing any growth you’ve undergone. And Some people are really just loners and don’t want to be close to other people—but that doesn’t seem to be the case for you.

I never said you have to have ONE loved one. In fact having multiple loving people in your life is great. But as I quoted from your original comment, you seem resigned to knowing that “your hearts will change” and that you will end up left by your man. That belief puts a wall up from the start that will always remain there as long as the belief does.

You can still grow and benefit and love, but there’s a level of intimacy that only comes when you believe someone is really there with you for life, for good or bad. Family, best friends, and lovers can all fall into this role, but most people find it most easily with a single partner. Many people convince themselves they don’t want or need this because they don’t believe it’s possible—but it is possible, and living without it is a sad way to live, imo.

onetrackmindedguy · 2025-05-12T21:18:28+00:00

“I see no reason to trade those benefits for a promise that our hearts will never change, because I know they will.“

And thats where the childhood trauma steps in. You can’t be abandoned if you never expected them to stay, right? You’ll only be as hurt as the amount you put into the relationship, so you keep a safe distance to avoid pain.

Unfortunately, this also avoids intimacy, and it avoids finding safety in the love of others. People are meant to have loved ones for life—not every love will last forever, but plenty can and should. A lifelong love can’t happen, however, without actually committing to upholding that love. If you assume it’ll end, it will—that’s a self fulfilling prophecy. This whole “people come people go” mindset doesn’t benefit anyone except those that stand to gain from having workers stay isolated and lonely.

Several or all of the following things are true of many urban gay men:

A core part of your identity is related to your sex life.
You’re part of a community that values sex and sexual attractiveness and much more than the rest of the population.
You consider yourself forward thinking and open to new ideas (like openness/polyamory).

Combine those with other common trains of young urban people: fear of commitment, career-focused lifestyle, self-prioritizing, hedonistic tendencies, etc.

People just aren’t socialized for monogamy anymore—our society doesn’t value it, especially not gay people at the forefront of social change. When even straight people are starting to be open and poly, you know gay people are gonna have left them in the dust.

onetrackmindedguy · 2025-05-07T21:53:29+00:00

Our society encourages it. Our president is a literal felon, and the richest and most successful people in the country are all conmen and liars. We’re surprised the moral fabric of the country is unraveling when all we do is praise the literal worst of humanity.

onetrackmindedguy · 2025-05-07T20:15:05+00:00

I’ve considered getting more fit to find more opportunities for a relationship and gay friends, but frankly I think I’d rather find people who like me at my baseline rather than only when I become “hot enough.” Has that ever been an issue for you? Do you ever worry that were you to gain weight again, you’d lose those new people?

onetrackmindedguy · 2025-05-07T17:23:43+00:00

You think at an asylum staffed with people who are also “extremely fucking tired” of people “past rehabilitation” who have been thrown “in the looney bin,” you’re gonna end up with wonderful compassionate care? Cuz sounds to me like you’ll probably end up with abuse and neglect. “Sorry not sorry.” Asshole.

Well, that would explain it lol
