HEY, META! NO I actually DON'T want to use your AI "enhancements" on my advertisements & I would appreciate it if you stop suggesting it OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Thanks.

It’s aggravating as hell. 80% of my screen is taken up by them begging me to turn on their buggy and incoherent AI enhancements to add meaningless “points” to my ad campaign. Is there no option to turn these infuriating suggestions off??

East Village: Special Flairs

#East Village: Special Flairs

You can check your standing in r/eastvillage at evsub.info.


Government Official

A few of our members are local government officials, including our City Council representative, who occasionally engages with residents here. The Government Official flair, which includes a blue gov-mark, is given to elected officials who represent the East Village. Before assigning this flair, moderators confirm identity through an official email address and a photo that verifies the individual actually controls the account, rather than a staff member or campaign representative.


Verified Business

This flair identifies local businesses that have completed our verification process. Each one includes the business name and a blue check mark. If you own a business and would like to post or comment here under your business name, you’ll need to be verified first. To begin that process, send a message to modmail. Unverified business accounts are not permitted to post as their business.


Luminary

The Luminary flair is unique. It is held by one person at a time and is awarded to the community member with the highest amount of community karma in the previous six months.


Trusted Neighbor

This flair is reserved for community members who have consistently shown they can be relied on. They tend to have high community karma and a history of contributing in ways that are informative, respectful, and helpful to others. It’s a recognition of long-term engagement and positive participation.

TRUSTED NEIGHBOR RANKS:

RANK COMMUNITY KARMA
SILVER I 100
SILVER II 150
SILVER III 200
SILVER IV 250
SILVER V 300

Why not allow more than one post flair?

The amount of granular sorting that could be done..

"if only, if only" the Reddit mod sighs, "post flairs were allowed to be more pluralized."

Think about it.

For example, I am a mod at r/NYCapartments. If the available flairs for the sub were "Apartment Listing" "Room Listing" "Market Rate" "Rent-Stabilized" "Manhattan" "Brooklyn" "No Fee" "Fee"..

We could then sort to see apartment listings that are in Brooklyn, rent-stabilized & have no fee.

Instead, the amount of unique flairs that would be necessary to achieve this would be crazy (a flair specifically for Brooklyn Rent Stabilized Apartment Listings w No Fee??), and even then would hide perfectly relevant results for someone searching for Brooklyn rent-stabilized apartment listings with no preference on the fee.

Know what I am saying? It’s just such a silly thing to restrict it to one flair. Almost sort of defeats the intended mechanics of “tagging” a post.

Idk.

Insomniac birds

Does anyone else hear these birds? 😂 Why are they all chirping at 2am? They’ve been doing this the past couple of nights. I live on St Marks.

Tenant Harassment: Attempting to Induce a Self-Eviction

Since the passing of Good Cause, there has been a meteoric rise in a specific, illegal tactic used by property managers and owners to clear out buildings known as Induced Self-Eviction.

Good Cause has made it much harder for landlords to simply not renew a lease. In many buildings, there now needs to be a valid legal reason. To get around this, some landlords are claiming "imminent demolition" or "major renovations" to trick tenants into leaving voluntarily even though the landlord hasn’t filed an application for a work permit.

It comes in many forms, but at its core, Induced Self-Eviction is a form of tenant harassment. One where a landlord creates an environment to make you believe you must leave, even though you do not need to.

Stay vigilant.

Do you live in a building owned by West Lake / Keystone / Summit & managed by RYCO NYC LLC? Being denied your right to renew? Told your unit is being demolished? (Contact link in post)

➡️ rycotenant@renthistory.org

REMEMBER: If your building was built before 2009 & has 11 or more units, you are protected by Good Cause.

Simultaneous monopsychism (n.) — The metaphysical view that reality consists of a single conscious subject which is, at this very moment, undergoing every sentient experience in existence concurrently. The apparent multiplicity of minds is not ontological but perspectival. Each individual life is a fractured vantage point through which the one subject perceives itself, unable from within any given perspective to access the others it is simultaneously living.

- Version A: The subject is fully aware.

- Version B: The subject is not aware.

—— Version B1: Awareness is a structural impossibility.

—— Version B2: Awareness was intentionally suppressed (lonely god theory).

- Version C: The subject is partially aware (i.e. you reading this right now).

Just wanna say hello to the Gesaffelstein homies. My name is John, and I would die for Lady Gaga. So, I guess you could call me her fan.

I’m happy she collaborated with Gesaffelstein. He is an incredible talent that I might’ve otherwise missed the chance to experience.

This is sort of random, but just wanted to officially merge myself into this community, because I think I will be here a while.

Was curious if anyone had recommendations. I need to get filled in on the quintessential tracks he has produced. Even if you are willing to share which is your favorite, I would be extremely grateful!

Merci, les amis !

EDIT: Wow. His discography is extensive. Holy shit.
