No- sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.

If you can’t argue than you’re fucking dumb and don’t belong in civilized society because you’re so stupid you can’t see past your anger.

Human beings have self control.

There’s also trashy people who were raised by trashy people who think violence is ok. Throw the parents in jail too

Nah I know myself- I’m a petite woman- who the fuck am I gonna fight? I’m running after I curse someone out.

Lol!! You funny

Not in civilized society. Only people who immediately resort to violence are the ones too dumb to fight with words and that lack self control-

Actually we do know. They come from homes where a parent will abuse (physical and verbal) and neglect them. This has a direct impact on brain development and the ability to self regulate. When you hit a two year old, you’re putting them in stress mode. Not healthy for a developing brain. This isn’t rocket science. It’s really not their fault but at the same time it’s not fair for them to be disrupting other peoples education. In reality those parents need to be educated and those patterns of abuse need to be broken but saying you’re a shit parent has a condescending tone- not sure what program would address this.

It’s not that hard to get a social security number. There are multiple ways to do it- some of them illegal.

Not a misconception. https://www.nyc.gov/site/hra/about/immigration-faqs.page there are people abusing the welfare system in NY. Not many but a pocket of people

Can someone please come in and write out the meaning of sanctuary city again? Cause last I heard everything negative is just Republican talking points.

Meanwhile that’s money that could have gone to the homeless here

I was just there and had the best time. Venue was super chill too. This sucks

call 311 or contact the DOB. Make sure you have the smoke policy of your building to reference. Any residential building with more than three units needs to have one. There’s prob a line in your lease stating the building is smoke free and there should be signs in your building too. Chances are the landlord would get fined for allowing them to do that, which may finally cause him/her to spring into action.

Have you had the chance to speak with your super about this? He or she might know the people and can prob speak to them if you’re not comfortable.

No leave ‘‘em the fuck alone.

I remember the train ride after my dad died. If someone hugged me, I think I’d curse their ass out. Your shitty hug isn’t gonna bring back my dad. I don’t want strangers hugging me.

I missed this :(. The moon was beautiful on my walk yesterday.

That’s a tough situation. Things will work out. Good luck.

I grew up here. It’s hard to leave family- it’s why I don’t see myself leaving anytime soon.

Are you planning on having kids? I feel like that could be a good reason to leave. I can’t imagine having kids and worrying about their safety. I wouldn’t be ok with them seeing open drug use.

And yeah you can always come back if you don’t like it.

I hope you find your new home and are happy. No sarcasm.

I’m sticking it out in hopes it will get better.

It’s because they can’t. This is exactly what the DiBlasio administration wanted…https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/dy8k97/how-new-york-quietly-ended-its-street-drug-war
