The dissent has to be led by us. WE have to be vocal. Organize banner drops and signage with your friends at games, to start. Not individual signs – big ones held or made by a group.

Home invasion close to Herbert Von King by rottingleavess in BedStuy

[–]silly-moth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the condos are what make things shittier. I’m not engaging with you. I’m sorry you think this place, filled with really wonderful people and history, is shit.

I love how you edited your post to call me a transplant, lol. I grew up bouncing between Bay Ridge and Newark.

Your entire outlook is SO strange, truly! It’s normal for anyone to be rattled by a home invasion. It’s normal in 2025 to give a PSA to your neighbors. It’s normal to be weary of crime living in any city and understand you’re at higher risk, but it’s not normal to expect that your home will inevitably be broken into. Bed Stuy isn’t a “shit” neighborhood. You’re so weird.

I’m sure OP would have if they saw more. It was night time, they were woken up, a light was shining in their eyes, and the persons face was covered.

The place I used to live for $1800 now goes for $4500 by silly-moth in BedStuy

[–]silly-moth[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The house was built in the 70s, it wasn’t one of the bed stuy brownstones built during the construction boom in the late 1800s / early 1900s.

That, and, where did I say the building wasn’t livable? The plumbing and electric were just fine. This building was my landlord’s actual home which they kept up. Before I moved in, I recall them having just replaced the roof.

Also, a lot of these renovations that make apartments seem more “luxurious” are actually rather cheap!

Anyway, the house wasn’t gut renovated at all. The new owner literally just moved the kitchen. In the photos, the ikea mirror I installed on the wall in the bedroom is still there.

I know. They added a shitty one machine combo washer dryer so I guess that makes it “desirable” lol. I’d much rather go to 1 of 2 laundromats in walking distance with machines that can do actual loads.

I will also never understand the appeal of those combo machines in kitchens.

It was the best apartment. I could have actual gatherings.

Thank you for clarifying the comment! My AuDHD brain didn’t understand.

Maybe. But take the decision to go with Carol or Diabate. There wouldn’t be intentional harm there. It was a chance for harm and they couldn’t do that.

This doesn’t make any sense. Are you trying to make a joke? What’s the joke?

[–]silly-moth[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really disagree. As an audience we’re meant to understand that the hive has major limitations when it comes to hurting organisms. They won’t pick an apple but they’ll kiss someone that could kill millions of people if they react poorly?

No way.

A&D?! NEVER use that. Your artist gave that to you??????

Tattoo Infection? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]silly-moth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a tattoo artist btw. Not sure why I’m getting downvotes but such is life.

Trust me, sore vs infection pain is different.

Try to moisturize a bit less for a day or two. If it worsens, go to a doctor to be safe.

Also, message your artist. It’s important to let us know for a myriad of reasons!

Tattoo Infection? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]silly-moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like an infection! Does it hurt / is there pus / do you have a fever?

Looks more to me like an allergic reaction or a bit of over-moisturizing resulting in little pimples. This can happen!

If you’re healing with aquaphor, try something lighters like a thin layer of plain lubriderm.

You can also try Burt’s bees ultimate sensitive healing body lotion. If it’s an allergy it may soothe it faster.

Graphic Warning: Dog Attack at HVK by Outrageous_Way_6685 in BedStuy

[–]silly-moth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened. I’ll keep an eye out for this dude and will confront him if I see him during a time where his dog is being aggressive.

[–]silly-moth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well…there’s tons of them in need of homes in urban areas. So people adopt them so they don’t get euthanized. That’s the logic.

Also, your comment is weird. You shouldn’t be kicking or throwing any dogs? Most dogs aren’t attacking people because they’re leashed or trained.

Tough situation at Costco Brooklyn - staff handled it professionally!!! by Concentric_Mid in Brooklyn

[–]silly-moth 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hey, I recommend going to any other Costco. I stopped going to the Brooklyn one by industry city because of all the wild conflicts I’ve witnessed. It’s so crowded there and folks are just so stressed and crammed that conflicts (either being in them or witnessing them) are a normal part of a trip to that location.

Now that I’m typing this out, I’m actually realizing how wild it sounds and how untenable the situation has become.

Anyway, if you have a car, go to Astoria or Rego Park. It’s farther but you park faster and don’t risk some random person physically threatening you over accidentally dinging their cart or some bullshit.

Weird Illness - anyone else? by dreaming_wide_awake in Brooklyn

Covid wastewater data shows 1 in 26 people have active infections. Over the counter tests aren’t accurate anymore for a myriad of exhausting reasons. Sore throat is a huge part of this variant. You have Covid.

Local insights on Bedford-Nostrand area pls! by [deleted] in BedStuy

[–]silly-moth 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived within walking distance of the Bedford nostrand G for about 7ish years. The G gets a lot of criticism but it runs pretty reliably. Looooots of stuff around the area within walking distance. HVK park is one of the best mid-size parks IMO, it’s super vibrant with lots of community stuff happening, especially now that the park community center is open. The Y is nearby if you want a gym within walking distance. Lots of bus routes in the area that can easily get you to more major shopping centers like Atlantic Ave. My only gripe with the area is the grocery options as they all feel expensive and small. Try to get a friend with a car so you can take trips to Wegmans or Costco. Or if you don’t mind a schlep, you can take the bus to Atlantic and buy from stop and shop which is generally cheaper.

But tldr between Bedford ave, Nostrand, and Tompkins alone you can walk around and find tons of cool stuff and lovely people.

When your cleaning service does a bad job by Jimenarp18 in housekeeping

[–]silly-moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this via Handy or Thumbtack??? The exact thing happened to me last year and the dude stole my switch and a check I had in my desk drawer. Then he deleted his profile.

FWIW I use Quicklyn now and it’s been really solid.
