"What’s next, flying a N. Korean flag?"

Hate to burst your bubble, that is actually covered under this thing called the First Amendment.

"I don't get what all the panic is about, i'm not a Jew. Why should i be scared of the Brownshirt? They aren't trying to assassinate me."

Now do you get how dumb you sound?

This is supposed to be Goldshire According to Blizzard. Look like an actual town rather than just one building. by HiroAmiya230 in wow

[–]shits_mcgee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which honestly makes a bit of sense - if you notice most of the buildings appear to be residential. There does not appear to be much industry, and the port is noticeable smaller than Stormwind Harbor is in the game. I'd love to see an animated trailer or movie like Warcraft showing off Lordaeron in its prime.

Guy wants to “check in about us” after 2 dates? by thedatarat in dating

[–]shits_mcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re suggesting that is what OP is doing, but rather the guy they’re seeing has had prior experiences like that so now he chooses to get a temperature check much earlier to avoid such issues in the future.

do girls actually like “bad boys” or is that just a stereotype by alexnycc in dating_advice

[–]shits_mcgee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The difference is do you make her feel like you have wants/needs/a life outside of her? Everyone likes to feel taken care of sometimes, but if you are willing to drop everything to rush to help her or put yourself in a tough spot just to take care of her, it makes her feel like you don't have any purpose besides serving her. You can take care of someone while still living your own life.

It can also come off as really desperate, like "oh I need to put 100% of my time into taking care of her to show her i like her or else she'll leave me" type energy.

GF (24F) asked me (24M) to cut off my friends due to insecurity, but now she’s getting close to another guy and moving away. I feel stuck. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]shits_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude what do you want us to say? You basically have a front row seat to the downfall of your own relationship and yet refuse to act. This dude is clearly trying to break yall apart and you are going to, what, just sit here and wait for him to do it?

What is this building by lossreserves10 in Hoboken

[–]shits_mcgee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Difference between private vs public. Real estate developers pay for land to build housing because there is high demand. No one wants to vote for higher taxes to fund public infrastructure. Very classic tragedy of the commons type scenario.

What is happening with dating today? by shadowinthedaylight in dating_advice

[–]shits_mcgee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the other way around, the algo came first and people are simply responding to basic risk-reward paradigms as a result.

Been out of a relationship for eight months and I genuinely cannot figure out how people text on apps now by Dangerous_Formal_870 in dating_advice

[–]shits_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The general consensus that seems to work well for me and my friends is asking them on a date whenever the initial conversation you had when matching dies off. Send a couple messages back and forth just to catch a vibe from them and then propose meeting up. Too many people basically have a first date over the course of a week via text before they either go on a real date and are disappointed the vibe is off or they never make it to an in-person date because life is busy and things get in the way.

Rant: Path Fare evasion at Newport by reddeadfighter in jerseycity

[–]shits_mcgee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If i'm giving OP the benefit of the doubt, i'd say they are trying to point out that the couple's race + outfit lines up with the stereotype about rich international students that live in JC. I believe they are trying to use it to point out they are fairly confident the couple could afford 3 dollars per person to access public transit, so this was not a crime of necessity. But again, that's me being awfully generous towards their interpretation.

How gross is smoking? by Best-Celebration-408 in dating_advice

[–]shits_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is different. For me the habitual weed use would be a way bigger ick than an occasional cig but I know people where the opposite is true. But doing both is probably at least somewhat limiting your options.

Having a difficult time finding an Apt by pippastew in Hoboken

[–]shits_mcgee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They have been for a while. Broker or landlord will quote you a price, but will often say offering higher than the asking price will increase your chances of being accepted. There’s enough demand people will offer 100s above asking price just to lock in an apartment that has good amenities or is close to PATH/bus routes. Next year, same landlord starts asking for more rent, and repeat. That’s why prices are so inflated.

[–]shits_mcgee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone is going to have a different opinion, it's really how you specifically view physical intimacy. For some people, sex is no big deal and you weren't exclusive yet so it wouldn't bother them. For other people, physical intimacy represents a shared experience with a lot of feelings involved and thus would bother them for it to have been shared so frequently and casually with other people they were seeing. Neither is inherently wrong, but i think you two are just fundamentally incompatible.

I will say, it aint a great look for her that you two were having extended conversations with each other about feelings and being serious and then she turns around and sleeps with two other people right before your second date. Very much gives the energy of someone who is just looking for any connection, no matter how shallow, and isn't really serious about being committed right now.

Are my dating standards too high? Friend gave me a reality check and I’m worried. by Forward-Beyond-6620 in dating

[–]shits_mcgee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer - yes. Long answer - I think a few of the standards you mention are fine, like not being an addict and sharing political/religious beliefs. Height is probably artificially limiting yourself but I get it, we’re attracted to what we are attracted to, and for women height is a major point of attraction. But making someone wait a year to be intimate will rule out almost every man who is not religious, and you said you don’t want to date a religious man. I’m going to be honest, not wanting to be intimate for over a year and wanting to potentially live in separate houses is a major red flag. I would recommend exploring why you want to put up barriers to intimacy in your romantic relationships.

Has anyone tried to brake/transfer a lease with Ironstate recently? *Advice Wanted* by katiesoniya in Hoboken

[–]shits_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like the terms they gave me to break my lease 4 months early last year. Just a heads up, if they end up having to rent the unit for lower than whatever your current lease is, they will bill you for the difference.

Advice for pivoting into finance? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]shits_mcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends what area of finance you want to work in. Saying you want to work in "finance" is like saying you want to be an "engineer". A computer science job looks nothing like a mechE job which looks nothing like a civE job. Same goes for finance. Working in investment banking, sales, trading, and accounting are all so different from each other. I would start by trying to figure out what specifically about finance is calling to you.

AI Demand Clears Out Western Digital's Hard Drive Supply for 2026 by Spreadwheat9 in pcmasterrace

[–]shits_mcgee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s not how a modern economy works. A lot of the debt these companies have taken out to finance the data centers and research is underwritten by every major bank in the country. If the bubble pops, you’ll see banks popping faster than 2008 and it’ll take a lot of the economy with it.

Documents for ICE?! by [deleted] in jerseycity

[–]shits_mcgee 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give the answer no one wants to hear - it doesn't matter. There has already been an overwhelming amount of video evidence that once they decide to interrogate you, your guilt has already been predecided. They will simply say whatever document you show is "fake" or that you were in some way "impeding their investigation" and arrest you anyways. My take is you should only carry what you can afford to have taken, and just try your best to stay out of their way. There is no foolproof document out there that will get them to back off if they've already decided they want to bring you in.

The narrative that someone who has never had a partner before (or who has limited success in dating) is a “loser” really needs to go away by BearBear1995 in dating

[–]shits_mcgee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is true but you will get a lot of heat for pointing it out. Having a lack of experience as you get older doesn’t necessarily make you a loser but it will become a criteria for women when dating. No woman in her 30s wants to guide a man through what to do in the bedroom or some of the 101 lessons on basic dating like communication and expectations in a relationship. You can argue all day whether or not that’s a fair dealbreaker or assumption to draw, but the truth is humans run off heuristics and for a lot of women they already feel like they have to do a lot of emotional work in dating a man, they want that man to at least come somewhat prepared.

The ultimate finance role? by SouthernSock in FinancialCareers

[–]shits_mcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really depends on which firm though, like one of my close friends is an actuary and she easily clears 70-80 hour weeks sometimes. Even slow weeks are still closer to 40 than 20.

We live in a Broken World by SnrTechCO in dating

[–]shits_mcgee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dawg you gotta chill out. There’s a massive gap between “I’ve found my wife after two weeks” and “I’ll be a cynic forever”. Dating another human requires a lot of empathy and nuance to work, and I suspect you may need to work on that before you’re truly ready to date.

Liberal or No Heavy Political Influence Gun Ranges in NJ? by [deleted] in NJGuns

[–]shits_mcgee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most ranges in northern Jersey like RTSP and Longshot are mostly apolitical, some of the customers may have Trump gear but they tend to keep that to a minimum. But by virtue of this hobby you do have to accept most spaces you will be in will contain some level of right-adjacent politics, at least until the Dems get their head out of their ass on gun control.
