Post Approvals

20 Upvotes

Just a heads up that a few months ago I had to set up automod because of all the tshirt scam spam posts so now it flags anything with enough reports or if the poster doesn't meet a minimum karma threshold. I'm the only mod and I have to manually approve everything that gets flagged, so I apologize if it sometimes takes me like a day to approve posts.

LEGO donations wanted for ADULT (& Family) group build events as a way to foster community, provide meaningful engagement, and offer non-competitive play that is inclusive and FUN for ALL AGES.

Post image
4 Upvotes

The fact is, Lego are expensive, I don't have the $$$ to acquire them, and I'm hoping you may have some that you can part with for a good cause.

Lego donations can be in any form: full sets, partial sets, or just loose pieces. Any and all would be greatly appreciated.

These Lego will be primarily used for ADULT ONLY build events as a way for adults to meet like-minded people, make friends, and put the riggers of everyday life aside for some play and getting in the flow.

Adult Lego Play (ALP) events offer an opportunity for imagination and creativity, which oftentimes become limited in our busy and stressful lives. Lego is relaxing and playful, requiring no exertion or the need to compete. Just build, laugh, and make some new friends. Besides being a perfect tool for adult wellness, your donation will also be used for "Family" builds, where parents/adults build alongside children as a shared experience.

Please DM me if you have any to offer. I'm happy to come pick them up at your home or meeting place, can pay for shipping, or any other option that will make your donation easier.

The more Lego I have, the bigger events I can provide to boost wellness. Lego is the way!

Food & Drink r/NewBrunswickNJ, where do you actually eat in New Brunswick?

0 Upvotes

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together New Brunswick’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, Destination Dogs or Stage Left Steak? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in New Brunswick actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in New Brunswick and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

iPhone:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota/id6744969212

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

Full transparency: we’re not from New Brunswick. Two of us live in Copenhagen and the other two in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

Please join us this Wednesday (Oct 7th) at City Council to Push NBPD to cancel their contract with FLOCK

Post image
67 Upvotes

Hi all!

The New Brunswick Police Dept. has a contract with the controversial surveillance company FLOCK for their ALPR cameras. These cameras automatically photograph and collect data on passing vehicles.  That data is saved for years and shared with other law enforcement agencies.

There are 11 Flock Cameras in New Brunswick.

Towns around the country have been cancelling contracts with flock due to concerns about data privacy and security, false statements made by Flock officials, and dozens of examples of police officers using the data for illegitimate purposes like stalking people they know personally.

(In NJ the data is kept for 3 years!)

We urge you to show up and demand New Brunswick end their contract with flock at the next City Council meeting October 7th at 530 pm on the top floor of City Hall.

I am attaching an ACLU article about flock, and if any other information is needed 404 media also has some great articles!

Mayor Jim Cahill said he continues to support the use of the city’s 11 Flock cameras, calling the automated license plate reader technology, or ALPR, an important tool that has helped police investigate serious crimes, locate stolen vehicles and find missing people.

Where a majority of towns and cities are eliminating them, Cahill is doubling down on them.

Help us 86 these unlawful and unnecessary surveillance flocking flocks. Franklin and New Brunswick are Flock Family sharing data and exponentially increasing the amount of cameras.

Much much appreciated

Housing Anyone living at Colony House Apartments? Looking for honest reviews

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m considering renting a studio at Colony House Apartments in New Brunswick and would really appreciate some honest feedback from anyone who currently lives there or has lived there recently.

How are the studio apartments overall, especially in terms of cleanliness, pests, noise, maintenance, management, and general living experience?

Also, how clean are the laundry room and gym?

I’m also particularly interested in their guest policy. I would be the only person living in the apartment, but my parents may come to visit me and stay with me for an extended period. Does anyone know if Colony House has restrictions on how long guests or visiting family members are allowed to stay, or a maximum number of days?

Would really appreciate any firsthand experiences. Thank you!
