  1. When you no longer enjoy doing something, it's time to walk away. I thought that joining internet transit forums would enable me to interact with railfans who shared my interest. Instead, over the past 9 years at Straphangers, Subchat, Transitspot, and here, I've encountered cliquish, vindictive, and bigoted people. I regret joining Straphangers back in 2002 since it all led to this. I will always be a railfan but it's time to walk away from an abusive relationship. The internet is full of evil.

  2. Everything on the internet is a facade. You meet the biggest phonies and fake gangsters on the internet. Maybe I should spend more time interacting with real people instead of cowards who hide behind a keyboard.

  3. The Blimpies on Hillside and Sutphin has been shut down by the health department. Mind you, I've been going there for an entire semester. I could simply get off the Q20/44, buy my food, and get back on since I had an unlimited. Even if it reopens, I'm not going back there. I don't want rat poop on my ham and cheese sandwich.
  4. The train is already crush loaded during rush hour, service is fairly frequent, and the IRT express pwns. 59 Street should remain a local stop.
  5. At the site of the former Citibank at Jamaica Center (under the theater), a Popeyes is opening soon.
  6. 86th Street is one of the busiest stops in the system. The point I'm trying to make is that stops don't have to be symmetrical. I would place express stops at areas where they would be busy. I wouldn't make 96 street a CPW express stop just because it's in the middle.
  7. If it was a busy stop like Woodhaven on Queens Blvd then it should be an express stop, but I wouldn't make a local stop express just for the heck of it. Trains already make too many stops.
  8. Why? 96th street isn't even that busy and there's already an express IRT 96th street station blocks away. Plus, the CPW express pwns!
  9. Rain might have screwed up my 4th of July plans. I've spent money on food for a barbecue and that barbecue might have been cancelled.
  10. I saw an episode of the Simpsons from 1993. It was so much funnier than it is now. Back then, the humor flowed. Now it seems contrived
  11. I'm pretty sure that's not illegal, unless it was an enclosed terminal. You obviously have to discard the cigarette when you get on the bus.
  12. That sucks. 2 years ago, I tutored BMCC students who took Saturday classes at Brooklyn College. After work, I always enjoyed going to that White Castle. Then I would do my shopping at Target. It's tempting until you bite into the chicken and realize it's tough and dry.
  13. What are you talking about? Quiznos is still around. The meat at Quiznos tastes better than the meat at Subway. It actually tastes like real ham. However, they dump mayonaise on the sandwich. The mayo literally drips from the sandwich. If you eat at Quiznos you might as well eat a double cheeseburger since it's the same nutritional value. Blimpies is like a happy medium. They give you enough meat, but it still feels semi-nutritious. The only locations I know of in the city is Union Square and a hidden location in the 45th Street passageway of Grand Central. Five Guys is overpriced. Yes, their food is made to order (meaning not frozen and reheated) but the prices are still ridiculous. Wendy's gives you the same quality food for a more reasonable price. That's the thing. The Chinese food people eat (sweet and sour, pork fried rice, egg rolls, etc) is Americanized Chinese Food. Ive tasted real Chinese food from Chinatown and it was super spicy. It was nothing like the food from the various Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens.
  14. The meat at Subway has a bland taste. Quiznos gives you more meat and the meat tastes better (though I wouldn't call it health food). I don't eat pizza anymore due to my acne condition, but back when I ate pizza I thought Papa John's was the best. It has the right combination of cheese and tomato sauce. I alternate between fast food and cold sandwiches (ham and cheese or tuna). I don't drink soda at all (thought I drink Snapple and Arizona). It's not a big deal. A 20 piece nugget is roughly the same as three McChicken sandwiches (and believe me, eating 3 McChicken sandwiches is doable).
  15. There are no post counts. I'm just saying that I post there less than I did back in 2007-2008.
  16. Favorite Checkers- they're not a mainstream fast food restaurant, but they have a location on Chambers Street and another location in Queens (I think near the Q25/34). Their fish sandwich is tasty. They also make a nice chicken sandwich. They have a 2 for $4 deal. White Castle- I'm not a fan of their Sliders (burgers) but I like their chicken rings and fish sandwiches. They also have cheese fries and mozzarella sticks. Wendy's- I no longer eat burgers, but Wendy's burgers are the best out of the big three. Least Favorite McDonald's- their food tastes so bland. Besides the Big Mac and chicken nuggets, I don't like anything on their menu. Burger King- I used to like their Tendercrisp Chicken sandwich until it made me sick. F*ck the Burger King on Jamaica Avenue. KFC- KFC's macaroni also sent me to the bathroom. The KFC Snacker is the size of my palm yet they charge $1.49 for it. The chicken is tough and hard to bite into.
  17. I have a Samsung S500 (8.5 Megapixels). I'm not too familiar with photography lingo. The Samsung models are the most user-friendly. I'm actually looking to upgrade since I had the same camera for 3 years. I'm looking at another Samsung model that takes better underground pics.
  18. I've seen multiple threads in which Chris said, "Black people are so 'x' " or "Black people like to do 'y' ". IMO, he is a lowlife just like Weinberg. As for quitting Subchat, look at my post count there. I'm basically a part time member. The only threads I participate in are photo threads or threads so innocuous that they can't be turned into flame wars by Weinberg.
  19. The Manhattan bound is operating via 53rd this weekend. I took it. I enjoyed hauling ass through the 53rd tube (instead of crawling through the 63rd Connector). The best part was that I needed to head to Union Square. I was able to transfer to the without some stupid ass out of system transfer.
  20. There's one cancer, Terrapin Station, who is a 5"7" loser in real life. He deliberately starts flame wars for his own amusement. The sad thing is that the vast majority of Subchat members are serious railfans who simply want to talk about their hobby. It's only a few people like Weinberg, Will D, and Chris who ruin it for everyone. Of course this wouldn't have happened on an express bus.
  21. I ate two fish sandwiches at Checkers (on Chambers Street, near City Hall). They were so delicious. The unknown fast food restaurants are so much better than the mainstream places like McDonalds and Burger King.
  22. Weinberg, his boyfriend Will D, and Chris are all a bunch of douchebags. There's a reason why I'm basically a part time poster at Subchat.
  23. Chris R16/R27 30 is by far the biggest racist at Subchat. He gets on my damn nerves.
  24. It's been a week and already one of the escalators at the new Court Square station isn't working. The MTA is a freaking joke.
