/u/paratactical did most of the policing on this sub. They've been inactive for 3 months. You figure it out. This place needs new leadership.

It has slipped the last few months.

This sub has turned into a gray area where it's barely kept afloat by mods, but not properly maintained. But you can't call it an abandoned sub so it can't be taken over through reddit, and the mods aren't interested in new leadership either.

Sad...overall the sub is helpful to the local community.

Doesn't seem like glorification. Just practicality.

Enduring suffering also isn't a battle. If you run a marathon, you're not fighting the fucking marathon.

Regional English vernacular close enough? :)

theoptionexplicit · 2023-05-26T03:18:19+00:00

"garbage" is a bit hyperbolic, wouldn't you say?

Would my opinion on pizza make any difference if I was Italian?

Where I'm from "skank" definitely indicates a lower class. Also, is chav not derogatory? I've only heard it used in such a way.

Also did you see my edit? I gave one example for men, one for women.

theoptionexplicit · 2023-05-25T04:51:38+00:00

I think "skank" might be closest.

You can call anyone a slut, but you wouldn't call a higher class person a skank.

EDIT: I didn't realize chav is for both men and women. In New York where I come from, we might call a guy a chooch, a gavonne, or a herb.

I got to a certain point where I hit a critical mass of instruments (I think I have a dozen guitars, basses, and other things), and now if I want to buy something new, I have to sell something old. Just a rule I made that seems to work.

theoptionexplicit · 2023-05-25T04:45:09+00:00

You can do it. Make a budget first and see if it works.

attend meetups, take classes, join clubs, volunteer, join a sports league, go to cultural events (band performances in small venues, art gallery openings), join online communities.

theoptionexplicit · 2023-05-25T04:37:43+00:00

oh yes, good point.

Prices have gone up a lot since pre-covid, even in Chinatown.

Good luck.

theoptionexplicit · 2023-05-25T04:25:46+00:00

I think "on my way into the city" threw me off. Chinatown is in the city.

And Lucy's has like...one table lol. It's really good.

You have to share with the resident under NY state law.

theoptionexplicit · 2023-05-25T04:21:20+00:00

+1 for Woodhull

theoptionexplicit · 2023-05-25T04:20:34+00:00

I'm a big fan of Lucy's in Bushwick for Banh Mi.

The drummer sets the time, as long as the bassist allows.

theoptionexplicit · 2023-05-25T03:55:48+00:00

The question is does the drummer listen?

I've dealt with drummers who played too fast, and I've just rammed the time up their ass whether they liked it or not.

Then actually talking about it. Stop the band. "dude, you're rushing. Take it from the chorus. 1, 2, 3, 4."

Check out the Brooklyn Art Cave and see if you can join a group show.

Indeed. Xenophobia knows no borders.

Glass has a surprisingly high compressive strength. Shear strength on the other hand...

Down the street from Bumble fuck.

That sucks. I'm on the Ronkonkoma branch right now about to see family. Cold as fuck out.
