So now they stop you trying to get out of the station.

Then maybe better quality buildings that don't look like they've been caked in filth for 100 years might at least make it seem nicer.

I'm just not a believer that a street that looks like a cacophony of filth has much that's sacrosanct. If people have great memories of eating hot dogs on a corner, then they'll have those memories forever.

I don't know what they mean by blighted but I do know that if I'm exiting Penn Station I try to get myself out of that press of bodies, fast food dumps, guys selling crap from a table and cheap suitcases vomiting out of narrow stores before someone tells me I'm looking at them the wrong way or a taxi hits me.

Reply to Is there a name for the TV trope when a character is stupid/silly but they become the straight man in episodes alongside a stupider character? by 3kool5you
I find the perfect idiot straight man the character who is utterly earnest about themselves. They're just being who they are 24/7 without a hint of humor.

Reply to Rep.-elect George Santos lied about attending prestigious NYC prep school Horace Mann: report by PichuLovy
This clown is the epitome of a pathological liar. He lies about everything because he so hates his life that he needs to feed his ego with a fantasy story about how great he is. Sounds like someone named Trump.

Reply to It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) is a great comedy classic. Any others similar to it? by gulgotcj
This is a movie I've seen a dozen times and it still makes me bust out laughing. Jonathan Winters steals every scene he's in. Ethel Merman is incredible. The one sequence with Jim Backus is just top notch. Not to forget that Spencer Tracy is just great from beginning to end.

What would happen if like six people walked up to the pro and said, "You're done. Get the f*ck off the court." Is he going to volley them all tough or something?

I'm sure there are rules which can be altered to accommodate a new paradigm.

Office buildings to residential would be a good way to go.

People come to the US and work lousy jobs to survive and perhaps do a little better and some worthless lowlife does this. I'd put him away for eternity.

Reply to Adams says mental illness leads to crime by DrogDrill
Then he needs to define "mental illness" because I don't think someone suffering from anxiety or depression is committing any crimes.

Someone really needs to explain to me the mentality that people who can do their jobs fine from home must come into an office. I don't want some nonsensical corporate speak that sounds like it came from Scientology - I mean the real reason.

Reply to Father, son shot with BB gun outside NYC Kosher supermarket; police investigating as hate crime by arrogant_ambassador
This antisemitic garbage getting ramped up by a society of morons is bad enough - but shooting a 7 year old? No. Anyone who knows this guy and doesn't call the police is just as guilty and should go to jail too. I don't care if the person thinks he was always a good boy. Drop a dime and get this piece of trash off the street.

Right. And that culture is where the story is being told by an artist in a business that's goal is making money. It's the shortcut. When culture changes, that'll change along with it. So far, it works.

Also because women are better sympathetic characters than men. Women empathize with them and men want to protect them. It's the basest connection they can create without having to say anything.

Reply to The Kraken is powering New York COVID hospitalizations to their highest level in nearly a year. Is it a sign of what’s coming for the rest of the country? by DrogDrill
Hopefully a good number of people have gotten the bivalent booster which according to studies seems to prevent people from getting extremely ill from this new variant.
