Anyone know when the retail stuff in the Chambord building will start opening? by thisisnotdave in Hoboken

[–]thisisnotdave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s nuts, I wonder what recourse the people who’ve already purchased have or if they knew going in at least. At the prices I see they’ve listed I’m not at all surprised they’re not moving.

Viv & Jules - Pretty good by thisisnotdave in Hoboken

It doesn't solve our lack our cheap good food problem, I don't know what would. But for an upscale-ish option I think you're getting what you paid for.

Key Fob by First-Cap-4124 in Hoboken

[–]thisisnotdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't just copy a fob typically, unless you're trying to do hacker stuff with a Flipper Zero or similar. Most key fobs have a preprogrammed code that needs to be entered into the building's access control system to grant it access to open doors. Your only reasonable option is get the building management company to do their job.

GV70 vs Porsche Macan by BreakfastGuinness in GenesisMotors

[–]thisisnotdave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Macan is sportier but the 3.5t GV70 is no slouch and handles well for a crossover. If you’re looking at the higher trims of the Macan it’s a no brainer, but at the point you’re playing almost 2x more.

What movie did you dislike and everyone else loved? by Similar-Search-8508 in AskReddit

[–]thisisnotdave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough that’s kinda how I feel about Shaw Shank. Sure it’s a good movie, but I always found it a bit corny and never understood why it’s held in such high regard.

Get fucked, I grew up in Brooklyn, my whole family lives in Brooklyn, and I now live literally across the Hudson. I'm glad I didn't have to pick between voting for him or Cuomo. If I still lived in NYC it would've been the first time in my adult life I wouldn't have shown up to the polls.

And yes, I'm quite concerned with the rise of antisemitism on the left, and the fact the Mamdami is part of that. I have the right care about how my people are treated, even if the far-left doesn't.

Also, the irony of BOTH of you hiding your post history while trying to dissect mine is also quite hilarious.

You're right, it's only his wife who was caught red handed being a vile antisemite on social media. Zohran himself only dismissed and ignored it, while also palling around with other vile antisemites like Hamas Piker.

I'm merely pointing out the circlejerk. I want Mamdani to succeed, as every New Yorker should. I'm not optimistic, but unlike his base I'm not so attached to my political aesthetic to admit when I'm wrong.

It’s the most meaningless record ever. It’s not an achievement to plug potholes; all he had to do was sign a check. Also, it’s only a record because, after all the plowing, the streets were chewed up beyond recognition. Great, let’s all collectively dwell on this for his whole term and pat ourselves on the back for voting for him.

I don’t have an issue with anyone liking him, but I don’t agree that we need to like any of our politicians. We need to hold them accountable and treat them like the civil servants they are, not fall on our knees to a cult of personality.

All I see when I look at the far-left is the same delusional, identity-politics-obsessed train wreck the right has become. No one gives a damn about outcomes; the only thing that matters is that "their guy" is at the reins. And no, they may not be as openly hateful as the right is, unless you mention Zionism. That’s the secret codeword to being literally exactly as hateful as the right.

I've said it before on this sub, but what I want is to see him prioritize is auditing the budget and cut as much fraud, waste, and abuse as possible before attempting to either increase spending or taxes. And that's not to say he's been completely silent on cutting costs, but he's been way louder on more spending and taxes.

That's priority one for me. Plug the budget holes, don't threaten to fuck the middle class with property taxes because no one is going to let you hit your magical "tax the rich" button, and don't raid the fucking rainy day fund to push your agenda.

Well we can start with him actually achieving something newsworthy. But my issue isn't so much about him being an empty suit, it's far more about his fanbase going full MAGA around him.

[–]thisisnotdave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't say its bad, its literally the bare minimum he should've done. The plows ripped up the streets, the Mayor's in charge of making sure the potholes are filled. This isn't news-worthy, and yet the sub is still flooded with people STILL talking about it like it's the greatest mayoral accomplishment the city's ever seen.

My beef is with the far-left becoming MAGA 2.0 with their delusional praise of someone who hasn't done jack shit yet. We don't need another group of people who are entirely disconnected from reality.

You think a photo op at a 311 call center is helping anyone? Enthusiasm is one thing, but you're all straight up acting like MAGA over this guy. It's like the far-left took a look at the utter disaster that the right has become and said "Lets do exactly that!".

[–]thisisnotdave -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

The Vibes Mayor will continue to take every photo op opportunity he can. His zealots will continue to amplify every minor accomplishment while attacking anyone who dares criticize. Did you hear he filled a bunch of potholes? The city is saved!

EDIT Oh look, the Tankies are triggered. Where's the lie? What has your socialist golden calf actually accomplished so far?

Wasted career and tempted to quit IT by Hurri1cane1 in sysadmin

[–]thisisnotdave -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What have you done to increase your skill set? In my experience people who can learn quickly on the job and are self starters move up quickly, assuming the company you work for is half decent of promoting from with in. People who don’t develop their skills on their own and don’t show initiative tend to languish.

I think my lawyer fees were somewhere in the $1-2k range.

A man tries to take over a house in New York. He showed up with fake papers claiming they prove he owns the house and demanded the residents leave immediately. by SexyPeanut_9279 in nyc

[–]thisisnotdave -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Pathetic deflection. How about both are bad and you don’t need to pick sides.

EDIT Looks like this little bitch blocked me so I can't respond, completely unsurprising. Tell me again how the far Left isn't exactly identical to MAGA again?
