    Never had an issue from Newport in the 7 months I lived there, albeit, not as many trains on the weekend. Even walk through the mall to get to the train, which is a bonus this time of year. I would stay in Manhattan, but, am just giving an alternative to save $. Brooklyn bridge is just as expensive and LIC is too sketchy.

    The Path is down right now. It is supposed to come back online on Feb 25th, but who knows if it will finish up in time. Too much can go wrong once you are in New Jersey. Stay in Manhattan. FIDI is fine.

    I’ll try again with a TL;DR version. Also, apologies if these have been answered 10+ pages ago; I keep up with the thread and don’t remember them being asked.

     

    The easiest way I see to get some margin on hotel costs is to stay in a non-standard area like UWS or downtown/Wall St/FiDi. Any hotel recs in that regard?

    Any guidance or “do not do that” for taking public transport from LGA? I’m assuming it takes longer than Uber/car service obviously but always appreciate the insights here. I saw the rec to stop at White Bear to crush some Szechuan wontons, but probably can’t do that this trip with an 11 yr old who thinks ketchup is exotic.

    Apologies.  I live on the East Side, so a car is the absolutely quickest way to get from LGA.  From my apartment, even with traffic, it is about 25-30 minutes. On hotels, Hotel 57 on Lex and 57th (Used to be a Renaissance) is a hotel with a great location as subway lines and buses are all right there.  I have found hotels in FIDI to also be easy to get around from.  I have stayed at Gild Hall and the Moxy Downtown before I moved back up here (RIP W Downtown).  Rates for all of these are around $200 a night at the moment, which is damned cheap. March is generally up and down on the weather front, so decent deals might still be had.

    Welcome back!

    Holy shit, musks crotch goblin told trump "you are not the president and you need to go away"

     

    Truly, fucking, insane. 

    If a little kid is saying something like that, he heard it somewhere else and is repeating it.

    Edit: here's a timestamped YouTube link too, in case you think it's an edit

    I asked on another thread if this was legit.  Good to know it is.  Fuck both of these losers.

  4. So did Elon's shitbag in training really say to Trump in that Oval Office shitshow that Trump wasn't the President and he should leave? Or are people doing some fun editing to get clicks? I will not post anything, but I saw and listened to a video in Instagram or Threads where it sure seemed like it.  But then again, I know how people are fond of manipilating things, thus the reason I take anything on any form of social media with a massive grain of salt.

    That being said, I hope it is fucking true. Fuck both of these massive losers.

    I gather that. I'm not an apologist for the woman. I address what I hilighted from her speech. Her claims are not to be dismissed. She still might be fodder for an industrial grinder if she's bringing down the republic.

    Another speculation about her sexual assault history could be the Citadel. The rape of women at other academies has been documented and are horrible. Somebody wrote that Mace's father is a general, so maybe that helped, but I wouldn't count on it.

    I'll dive even further into writing about something I don't know about: Maybe her Maga hate roots go back to being often assaulted. Who knows?

    I'm interested in seeing how this turns out. She works for and sucks up to a rapist. What is that about?

    Stockholm Syndrome?

    I know very little about Nancy Mace. I find the below compelling. It articulates my own woke sensibilities about how women are objectified in any context where a name or image appears. And let me be clear, I'm not offended in the name of someone else; I'm offended as a civilized man. I don't care about what someone says or does in privacy. As a public voice this shit is no good. 

    Hey, it's Surly won't do. It's a very simple level of decorum to limit the instant comments of "would" followed by dissection of the woman (from any field) and related tales of past sexual exploits. The pat phrase of "Yep, she's batshit crazy but the crazy ones are usually great in the sack," screams incel.

    The language described promotes the juvenile insecurity that is relieved by "boys being boys." Grow up.

    Lastly, there have been fun exchanges occasionally about something unavoidably sexy. I'm not a prude. Bawdiness is often fun as long as doesn't sound like you're discussing a slab of meat.

    There are many guys on here who are so smart and good who do this shit. Please consider before writing some knee jerk banal comment. It's beneath you.

    Neg me to oblivion if you must. But as someone trying to be woke without shame, I cannot silently let this stuff pass. It makes me complicit. 

    Just think.

    The two observations could be related. If the experience is true, what impact might that have had on her mental health? It's chicken or the egg. Is she crazy and dreamed this up or did it happen and drive her crazy?

    Again, I don't know anything about this woman other than she's Maga. I'd like to have her accusations investigated which they seem to be.

     

    What a horrible thing this would. She steps up for something important and worthwhile then diminishes the whole because it's just a ploy for something else. That would be fittingly wicked for a Trumpist, but I can't tell if that's what she's doing. She should be trebucheted into the see if it's all a lie to gain power.

    Thanks for reading.

    I do not disagree with you.  That is why I saw her allegations might actually be true.  But, she is still completely fucking crazy, and I do not care what the origin of her crazy is. Her crazy is actually harmful given the power she wields.

    not to be needlessly pedantic but that's not true as proven in the 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis matter. it just depends on how badly they want to rule and if alito and thomas want to implement their vision for the country, they will take on cases with completely made up facts and a appellant with no standing.

    This.

    Este. The paid FD isn't gonna be much more Trumpy than the general population. Probably less so in Texas which, of course, is Trumpy af. 

    But hey, some surlers knew some asshole Trumpy firefighters once, so they're probably all like that, right?  I've probably known more asshole Trumpster FF than everyone on this board combined, but painting us all with that brush is idiotic.

    Eh, FDNY and NYPD are both much Trumpier than the city. A lot of them live on Staten Island....

    Yep, but I and tell the difference in good and bad lyrics and music. HH and Crap does not even rise to the level of bad. It is pandering at its cynical worst.   

    No, you really cannot.  What you are telling us is you don't know shit about anything.  But carry on in your ignorance.

    Please take me back to the 60's 70's etc. and rock and roll. Still popular and will be forever. HH and Crap a passing impaction.  

    Tell me you are an old fuck without telling me you are an old fuck.
