Shalkore posted:What piece of poo poo just kicks a little kid like that? Deserved that punch for sure I'm sure the kid was saying something about a meat sandwich or chicken cheese. Or an airplane frame chute that works (or doesn't). It was probably about how guns are only for murderers. Or how bike riders are a plague on a modern society.

Data Graham posted:Question, is the city worse now than it was say ten years ago? I've been here by daylight for like three years now and it seems perfectly fine, but a guy I know who's been here since like 1996 says it's like the Warriors now compared to how it was under Giuliani. I don't see it Keep in mind that I don't actually live in the city. Since 2008 I've spent between 5 and 15 days of the year in the city, usually staying in the same hotel in Hell's Kitchen. I'm really familiar with it for a tourist and I love the place, but I'm nothing close to an expert. I don't really see any increase in anything bad, honestly. Scammers and angry drunks fighting have been a part of the city since before I started coming, but that's never going to go away. If anything, there's been a steady increase in police presence and gentrification every time I return. The crime rate took a gigantic drop in the 90s and has floated around the same low level since 2008, so unless the NYPD is loving around with the numbers it's probably no worse than any other time I've come. Here's a chart of murders specifically and you can see how it just plummeted. If anything, the scariest thing you end up encountering is the NYPD. They've got a really awful reputation for racial profiling and random searches, or arresting suspected or known prostitutes who aren't actually doing anything in the name of "getting a hooker off the streets" and using skimpy clothes as probable cause in a city where female toplessness is legal. The increasing paranoia about terrorist attacks has also led to there being a ton of cops decked out like SWAT team with AR-15s standing around anywhere important, like Times Square or subway stations. A lot of them are incredibly fat, which just makes it look worse: they're even giving lovely cops a bunch of tactical gear and rifles and telling them to stand around big crowds where, in the case of an actual terrorist attack, they'd probably just shoot a bunch of civilians.

I don't see it Nah, that dude is crazy if that's what he thinks. Things have been steadily getting cleaner and safer at about the same rate as they were towards the end of Giuliani's tenure as mayor. Places that you never would have been comfortable visiting, let alone living, back in the 90s are slowly being cleaned up and gentrified with no sign of slowing down. Neighborhoods like Washington Heights and Spanish Harlem (just to give two easy examples) are becoming destinations for people who can't afford Brooklyn anymore. It's pretty crazy to see areas that were absolutely to be avoided when I was a kid (I'm a native born New Yorker and remember the late 70s pretty well) now becoming enclaves of gentrification and destinations for middle class folks. Chitoryu's right though, the cops are probably the most dangerous thing you're likely to encounter on the street these days (unless you go to east New York or something stupid like that). There are decent ones of course, just like any group of people, but the lovely ones are more brazen about being lovely than they used to be (or at least it seems like it these days anyway). I get the feeling that the whole post-9/11 hero worship thing went to a lot of their heads, along with the extra power from anti terrorism policies.

I don't see it As a kid who grew up bridge and tunnel in the early 00s, got to do poo poo that a young suburban kid shouldn't have been doing, but skirted a lot of the sketchier poo poo--it is much safer overall especially in the nicer areas, and it seems what exists of the underworld has largely "gotten its poo poo together" so to speak. I can't speak for this year, but that's how it was back when I was going there semi-regularly. The seedier element is definitely still there, but unless you're spectacularly clueless odds are surprisingly low that you'll stumble into a bad situation. Even at 4 a.m. and drugged out of my skull it was shockingly safe to just stumble the gently caress around Manhattan waiting on train platforms and walking the streets, at 16 no less. Compare that to when I was a boy and the city had a much seedier overall vibe in the early 90s it's practically a playground in comparison. There are still bad neighborhoods but they're compressed further and further into the outer boroughs like the Bronx or Queens (gentrification!) so unless you're very poor--at which point I would advise you to turn around from NYC and never look back--odds are you won't ever have to go near them unless you have dedicated business there. chitoryu12 posted:If anything, the scariest thing you end up encountering is the NYPD.

Those that use an upside-down toilet plunger instead of a saddle are the best. They always kick your rear end on any ride. Especially if they're wearing a heavy mammoth wool sweater with a giant coffee pot for a helmet. That's what makes getting my rear end kicked so embarrassing. I shave 3 grams on grip tape and still get passed by a guy using wheels that were carved out of stone while dragging a dead donkey on 10 feet of rope. They're smiling, and I'm crying in my pathetic full kit and bike that weighs less than the dump I took in the morning.

Also, suburbs and rural areas are perfection, if your idea of perfection is a breeding ground for mentally-inflexible conservatives that would still have blacks in chains and gays set on fire if urban areas hadn't dragged them kicking and streaming toward social progress.
