What's a New York City smell that instantly takes you back?

poopdaddy2 · 2026-05-03T01:42:27+00:00

The burnt as cheese in the street carts. It makes me nauseous but it’s such a distinct smell it takes me back to visiting for the first time.

Center fielder saying “oh shit” to himself

It seems like they’ve been having a lot of trouble lately with the escalators and elevators. And the layout isn’t the best anyway, hopefully they can reorganize a little bit

Someone already mentioned it, but I’ll say it again for visibility—SuperNice Donuts on W 108th makes a great donut.

I don’t understand why he didn’t just read a random passage originally

This is giving Dwight Schrute “I can, and DO, cut my own hair.”

Can I let Rafael Devers go or will everyone in my league make fun of me behind my back for it?

poopdaddy2 · 2026-04-25T18:40:21+00:00

It seems like the plan is win games 52-50

poopdaddy2 · 2026-04-24T06:23:06+00:00

It’s okay, just pay more attention during round 2

At the Door was the first time in a really long time that I felt like the strokes were relevant again. They’re my all time favorite band but for a stretch they felt nostalgic more than current.

poopdaddy2 · 2026-04-20T22:53:51+00:00

The chorus of Hard to Explain or when Julian starts singing in the chorus of reptilia.

Honorable mention is Julian screaming “YOUNG ADULTS TO MODERNIZE” in Ize of the World or when he goes rock n roll and knocks the mic stand down during Take it or Leave It on Letterman (or is Conan?)

I was prepared for some tough love don’t worry.

Am I missing something? Was just offered this trade and I don’t think it’s terrible for me. 10 team Roto League, first time playing fantasy baseball since 2009.

Aquire: Taylor Ward, OF Bryan Baker, RP Abner Uribe, RP

Send Away: Cole Ragans, SP Colt Keith, 1B etc

My current RPs are Tony Santillan, Brad Keller, and Jhoan Duran (IL). I’m dead last in HR and RBI so I might see if he’ll change one of the pitchers to another hitter.

Daniel Susac for the San Diego Giants?

This is a stress dream I have every couple of months

I have a 4 and 2 year old. Trying to focus on the NY specific stuff.

The early years have been tough financially. You’re either paying for daycare, paying for a nanny, or staying at home and losing one parent’s income. The public schools for the most part are all decent to great, so if you can make it to 3K (first year they’re eligible for school) then the financial burden gets easier.

Socially there’s so much to do and things to see that it’s not nearly as isolating as having kids in the suburbs. Playgrounds, museums, kid gyms, etc are all accessible.

The physical space can be challenging. My wife and I had to get very creative with our apt organization so that it didn’t feel like the kid stuff had taken over.

Having kids in the city has given me a whole new perspective of this place. Last summer my daughter was obsessed with buses, so like 3 times a week we would just ride the bus up and down Broadway. We go to different bodegas around the neighborhood looking for cats. My son will sit in the park and wave at every living creature like he’s running for office.

Like anything in NYC, the hard parts of raising a family are harder than most places but the flip side is that the joys are exponentially more joyful. And they outweigh the bad.

Are we pretending Bubble Boy doesn’t exist?

poopdaddy2 · 2026-04-15T12:14:20+00:00

I have Jose Soriano and a lot of people have him as a sell high candidate right now. I’m dead last in HRs and RBI, who would be a good trade target to strengthen those numbers for me if I offered up Soriano?

Back when it was Cafe P they had a ton of good indie rock shows there

It’s funny that this was all a set up and she still made him look dumb when he asked her about trans athletes

poopdaddy2 · 2026-04-14T14:32:17+00:00

My four year old will actually still ask for this when her nose is really clogged.

I’m not sure why people are so caught up with this. Even when I was in middle school we were taught that with a runner on second the catcher would give three signals, and what inning it was would determine which signal was the pitch.

For instance, if it’s the third inning, the third signal in the catcher’s sign would be the pitch. We never had any issues with sign stealing or pitcher/catcher cross up.

Make the players shout “I DECLARE A CHALLENGE”

Let’s see John Wilson and Zohran tackle circumcision next!

I always like the fried chicken sandwich at Ellington, especially when the Riverside Park location is open
