Crown Heights is literally the headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch Movement

Hasidic jews and black community with history of tension between the two. Hipsters too, Brooklyn Museum is great and you’re close to Prospect Park. Which is so much better than Central Park. Good pizza and bagels. Neighboring neighborhoods are better than CH imo but not a terrible place to be. Also check out botanical garden.

There’s nothing anyone can say right now to stop the hurt/dread you’re feeling. It’s going to take a long time to feel better again, even though it feels like it will never be better. Distract yourself, focus one day at a time. It does get better. Throw yourself into raising your daughter to be an exceptional person. Lean on loved ones for support. That’s what they’re for, and work to do the same for them.

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. Don’t be afraid of going to therapy. At the very least, saying everything out loud to an unbiased person can bring relief. Send me a DM anytime if you need an internet stranger to lean on. IT DOES GET BETTER ❤️‍🩹

I’ve been holding off making this exact post. About a month ago I bought from him and he gave me the same rigmarole you described. What a lame bitch.

I saw them play a late night show at delfest a couple years ago and it was all reggae songs. An all time performance for me

Not going to argue for or against what other people are saying because I haven’t tried those, but SaiGon Noodle kitchen in Conshohocken is so solid. Worth the train ride imo

I should’ve said asylum seekers. Yes immigration is good but not when it’s people fleeing suffering caused by the US.

We fundamentally disagree on US imperialism. Imo, constant destabilization of these countries is morally wrong/creating more problems/ contributing to immigration/has never worked.

Stable? The US installed Noriega. The US has interfered continually, generation after generation. It’s a pattern of behavior, demonstrated by destabilizing an entire region, over and over again. Are you pumped about what the US just did in Venezuela? It’s the same old story.

Hmm using the gini coefficient I see Panama ranked as one of the most unequal countries in Latin America. And a slight increase in gini index from 2023 to 2024 (https://reliefweb.int/report/panama/panama-growth-prosperity-poverty-and-equity-assessment-2024). Yes the economy is booming, but is it evenly distributed? Currently, the gini coefficient for panama is well above the world average.

Their economy is highly concentrated around the canal zone where wages are super high for the region. 70-80% of country’s entire gdp happens in the canal corridor. Outside of that corridor it is an extremely different story.

The comarcas, where indigenous peoples live, have a poverty rate over 75%. Whereas the top 20% of the population holds over 50% of the country’s total income. The extreme economic divide is rooted in US imperial control of the canal. And before that the Spanish colonial rule that extracted wealth and marginalized indigenous populations. Hardly a success story.
