OP you could've just not told anyone and it wouldn't been fine. It's not like we can understand Massholes when they babble on and on about whatever the fuck they talk about. Try as I might, I can't focus on what they're trying say and all I can think is "wow, that's a lot of whicket smahrts for one sentence" or "Jesus dude, how much coke did you snort in the bathroom?"

Reply to Crosswalk Laws by manawydan-fab-llyr
I moved to NYC over a year ago and every time I come back to NJ to visit, it’s a nightmare. Trying to cross at a light? Practically a death wish! My wife has lived in NYC for 10 years and I always have to stop her from just blindly following crosswalk signs in NJ. Just because it says you can cross doesn’t mean you can!

It’s just a bad market for buyers right now. I bought a small but nice house in Roseland for under $400,000 just a few years ago. Things always change.

Most don't. The ones that do are usually labeled second hand shops

If you’re into BJJ try Silver Fox BJJ in East Hanover. There’s a few ladies who go there who are cool and you’ll make friends. They say BJJ is for everyone but I’m not sure about that but if you want to learn how to fight and make friends give it a shot.

She wears a Chanel broach while she has teachers barely scraping by after suffering through the pandemic and buying their own supplies. That's more than enough reason on its own to hate her.

Reply to Petition for the Removal of the Monroe Superintendent and Bully, Chari Chanley by PitifulDaikon4178
What a vile creature. I'll use her as inspiration for my next D&D Campaign Charisma/Diplomacy boss. Hopefully the players destroy her. I will be using her likeness from the funny haircut, tacky suit, the bejeweled CC pin that no "public servant" should be wearing to a town hall, and of course, those wretched eyes. The most easy to hate NPC I've ever planned.

I work with a lot of cops in many different towns and have seen much. They can charge you with disorderly conduct or something similar for cursing in public. I recommend calmly filing a charge against them with their internal affairs department instead. NJ's been doing a good job lately of separating those departments and creating more accountability. I can't speak to whether or not it's working, but the cops definitely are on more alert about it that I've seen.

It’s good to bring attention to these kinds of things but I wouldn’t sign this petition unless I lived in Monroe, nor do i think people who don’t live in that district should have a say in this petition. Best of luck to you.

NJ is the weirdest place I've lived for cars obeying crosswalks, in that they just don't do it. I've had cars behind me go into the opposite lane of traffic to pas when I stop at a red light and theres a pedestrian In the middle of the crosswalk. I've seen cars clip pedestrians by trying to squeeze around them when they're in the middle of the crosswalks- regular people and cops both. When I've been crossing the street WITH A CROSSING GUARD during school zone hours, cars have tried to squeeze around me to keep going. One time I was walking in Woodbridge and the announcement for the walk symbol said to be cautious, that cars may not stop. It's baffling, and there's no reason for it.

Reply to comment by BunzoBear in Update Regarding Nazi State Trooper by prof_cunninglinguist
I just read an article today about a cop that was busted by internal affairs in a conspiracy to sell drugs in 2015. He went on to film a rape he committed and showed to a bunch of people in 2017.
He is still under investigation today and getting his full salary (over 100k) in 2023.
His own cops busted him and then he promoted his own rape video and he is still getting paid/investigated.
How do you justify this one?

I’m getting this message when I check status online: “We cannot provide information about your ANCHOR Benefit on this system” and it’s asking me to call the 1800 number. Anyone knows what this message means?

My mother and many of her colleagues taught in Monroe for years. This woman is trash.

Overly broad and unfair characterization-see my post above. It’s no secret that Hunterdon is a red county but perhaps more importantly it’s an educated county. More often than not you encounter people here who are professionals of one kind of another, highly educated and well traveled. I’ll take that any day regardless of their politics.

Reply to Dealing with NJDMV/RealId crap by deviantkindle
Hardly anybody gets mailed statements anymore. That's why MVC accepts printouts of electronic statements, 1099s and so on. I walked out with a real ID in less than a half hour. Just follow the checklist and do the work to compile it all. It's really no big deal.
