This is one of the reasons I don't ride the R46, R62 or R68 trains. These are the older model subways that look like the Long Island Railroad. Granted, this was one of the newer models, but it makes me shutter to think that it could have been on one of those trains where the doors in between cars lock. Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured.
Personally, I try to limit my time on the subways. Too many incidents.
As a little boy I was taught to respect the police. Not necessarily to like them, but to respect them. As I got older I learned to add some fear in that behavior. Not that every cop in the street will brutalize you but they have the power to kill you. So this snowball fight incident puzzles me. But then, a lot of things puzzle me. Some of the same people who claim to hate the police will make videos mocking or teasing them.
The snowball fight looked like fun, but should never had involved any snow touching a New York City Officer. That was disrespectful. It also promotes a boldness in some in the future that you can throw objects at them. Whether I like them or not, I need the police to command respect. I am glad the situation didn't get worse.
So, even though this incident was just a snowball fight and not a riot, people engaged in assaulting cops need to addressed, whether it be a fine or summons. If an officer was injured, then the assailant needs to be held accountable.
A LONG time ago, I used to review movies. I don't think I was ever close to being as good as Cuss Creep. Granted, he does give a few spoilers here and there , but he is interesting and unique and fun to listen to. Ahd if you don't like what he likes, he doesn't give a f**k.
I prefer documentaries and docuseries over biopics. Generally, documentaries offer facts and interview actual witnesses. Biopics water down information with good acting.
I prefer to be educated over being entertained
This is why I am a weirdo. Nicki Minaj recently joined Trump and fans lost their mind. This is why I one wrote that I follow nobody. I may like people and their ideas but I am not a fan of anyone to the extent that their political choices have me bugging out. Snoop Dogg supposedly performed last year for Donald Trump, creating a controversy.
There are plenty of celebrities , sports figures, etc., that I like but that's as far as it goes. Your records may have e singing a tune, but in my mind, you could be a dirtbag. I am not disillusioned.
Years ago McDonald's would have good deals going during the first few months of the year. Granted, these deals weren't necessary when Big Macs were less than $2, but over the past few years, I have grown accustomed to "buy one get one $1 Big Macs" or 2 for $6 deals. Today, I went to McDonald's for the first time this year and thought I was going to buy a fish sandwich for over $10. Come to find out that this was the value meal price. NO ala carte price was listed.
So to ME, McDonald's isn't interested in selling food at affordable prices. They want to gouge every cent from the customers. Probably why they insist on asking if you want the meal.
I paid a little more than $6 for my fish sandwich.
From Merriam Webster:
cabin fever
noun:
extreme irritability and restlessness from living in isolation or a confined indoor area for a prolonged time
There is truth to this. From mid-November, I have been confined to my apartment, mostly because of weather conditions. It started out being too cold, then recently, we had the snow. Normally, I would go to the Mid-Manhattan Library about twice a week. Since November, I have only been there twice. So I have been in the apartment most of the time. It finally caught up with me and I thought I was going stir crazy. I made it to my local library.
Yes, I could have come here weeks ago, but I don't like how the library is run here in the Bronx. A lot of noise and a lack of space. Still, it helped to get out.
I wish someone would have told me about the unpleasant parts of reaching 60. I have neuropathy, dry-eye and suspected sciatica.
