Also looks more like a champagne bottle to me. (Which would also be easier to pop open without an opener than a wine bottle, I still remember trying to open a wine bottle with a stick)
Not been to NY sfter COVID, but I'd a dample size of 4 people not wearing a mask that indicative? It feels like now, most people don't wear masks in public transit
I want to believe this story, but looks like they are just cheers-ing with their own smuggled booze. One has Hennessey and the other has champaign. Maybe on the train home on new years? Still pretty wholesome.
I know this will sound severely alcoholic but for years I carried around a corkscrew just in case. I was kind of traumatized by how I managed to buy a bottle of wine when I was 15 (in Germany wine is legal from age 16) but I had no opener so we tried for hours to push the cork inside with a stick and I did not want to repeat that. It worked but the cork broke and we had very crumbly wine. Don't recommend it.
Because it is comfortable and conveys emotions. If you are not uncomfortable and push those emotions down till you reach the point of critical hear failure, you are not acting masculine.
Not sure why you brought up masculinity, though — I'd argue that getting your balls cut off doesn't make you any less of a man. It certainly does expand your repertoire of safe and comfortable seating positions, though.
No, I meant crossing your legs won't thin your masculinity like I said. I brought masculinity into this because the person I responded to had already interjected it with the castration statement.
Fun fact, the NYC metro moves more people daily than ALL flights in the entire continental US by a wide margin, I think it is close to twice the amount of people.
Yeah, vegans aren't known for their sense of humor and that goes double for the ones here on Lemmy lol.
I'll have you know, though, that while I'm a hippie in the "far left anti-authoritarian pacifist" way, I am not nor would I ever abstain from meat and cheese, so my farts remain glorious! 😁
Does that include the people who don’t pay? Because that number might still be way bigger than it already is. A not insignificant amount of people jump the turnstile. Almost no one pays for the busses. The “emergency door” opens when someone walks out with shit in their hand? Probably ten people slip in lol
Gotta love that one of the most powerful cities on earth with empty luxury apartments rising into a speculative sky above homeless and the precariously homed (one rent raise away from eviction) is so full of rich miserly conservatives that the everybody has to pay to use one of the most efficient collective forms of transport on the planet. It is like charging people to use an escalator, but even dumber because making mass transit free supercharges commerce by putting a couple extra bucks in the pocket of everyone who uses it (to inevitably spend at the coffee shop, or grocery store, or restaurant… economy go brrrr).
Jump those turnstiles fam, the rich are stealing so much from you that you could jump turnstiles all day like an Olympic hurtle jumper and it wouldn’t even begin to settle the score, at this point no amount of money can.
Nope. Dirty outdated train cars that show up every 7-15 min. If you’re lucky. This is New York. It wouldn’t be NYC without rampant corruption in local politics. So every update to the MTA comes with an absurd price tag so some front of the mayor gets filthy rich.
$2.9/trip? What are you spending it on? Luxury golden cars with solid gold toilet that arrive every 30 seconds?
Not solid gold no, just crummy normal urinals dressed up in blue and full of prejudice, looking to do violence preferably with their gun, and coasting on that sweeeet overtime.
NYC is so fucked with conservative money and austerity politics, it makes me sad given how many progressive people live there.
