That's what the bulk of the NYPD's budget is going to; genetically engineering officers to be able to bend and snap together to make MEGA OFFICER

Word. Yeah it can be kind of hit or miss. I just remember they had to close because of a fire+water damage either last year or late 2021.

I've only ever heard hard techno at Jupiter Disco. Maybe give that place a shot.

Talon in Bushwick and Bearded Lady in Prospect Heights come to mind.

Reply to MTA Feds blocking subway doors by Top_Kiwi_6042

Yeah, it sucks. Frankly, I'd be more than happy for some of my income tax to pay for UNLIMITED MTA usage. All of New York, fuck it. You live here, you pay taxes, you get to reap the benefits of public transit.

Fleece the tourists, make a single ride $4. Put my state/city taxes towards a thing I actually use instead of giving cops more remote controlled cars or lazer binoculars or some other bullshit.

My girl used to live right by the Newkirk station. It's a real bummer over there. A lot of good food and the people I interacted with were always suuuuuuper kind. I just don't understand the habit of dropping trash wherever you stand and walking away.

If I want to be in a dry space I'll go to a straightedge show. I'd rather get punched by a sweaty ex-con than hang out in an overpriced yuppie bar.

Reply to New NYC feels dystopian by goobagibba

Friend I don't know where you call home but most major metropolitan areas are filled with non-stop ads and minimalist architecture. Minimalism is the cheapest/quickest way to build upwards, and the non-stop ads in your face are intended to wear you down into buying shit you don't need or even necessarily want.

Also there's more to NYC than just Manhattan. I'd urge you to check out any part of the other boroughs and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised by how "human" everything can be (unless you're in like, Downtown Brooklyn or another shopping/government building district).

Buck up, the world ain't over yet. If you wanna feel better, buy less shit and go for a walk through the park. Forest Park is dope, even little Highland Park is cute as two boots.
