Jesse Margolis, the man behind Overheard LA, started the Instagram account on a whim in 2015, after listening to a stereotypically L.A. conversation at a health food store. It now has 1.6 million followers and numerous spinoffs, including Overheard London and Overheard New York. This time, we'll focus on the latter.

"We're curating user-generated content, but we're also directing it toward millennial themes," Margolis told The New York Times. "The reason the accounts are successful is because we're not just posting some dumb quote — we're focusing on these themes of dating and digital life and food and fitness and Instagram culture and all that stuff. So we definitely do our best."

And that definitely shows. While scrolling through these snippets, you get a feeling that you're not just eavesdropping on a random conversation. Rather, immersing yourself in a unique environment and getting to know the people living there; their wants and desires, insecurities and fears. So continue scrolling and let's take a walk in the streets of NYC.

    The Overheard project has come a long way since its humble beginnings. High follower numbers aside, Margolis is steering the brand in a new direction too. With a printed "newspaper" called The Overheard Post, which has seen features such as the "millennial weather report" and satirical "obituaries".

    "We've got these ... accounts now with cities and themes, and we're kind of exploring how that brand manifests itself in different areas," Margolis explained.

    "The newspaper idea is our first foray — it's half a marketing stunt. We're essentially going to be doing a newsletter. My idea for our newsletter is it's offline only, and then if you want to actually read it online, you might be able to get it 24 hours later or a week later."

    Had a guy follow me out to my car and ask me if I could pull down my mask, so he could see my beautiful face. Men make up all kinds of excuses to talk to women. I have been asked the time as a segue to creepy conversations so many times. This isn't funny to me. It is completely oblivious to how often women are harassed.

    Margolis said the account that started it all, Overheard LA, plays to the more absurd elements of the city, but interestingly enough, it captures the sort of extremes that his team have all seen a little bit living in L.A.

    "We're trying to make fun of the bubble and occasionally we can get caught in the bubble ourselves by doing that, and not necessarily showing just how unique and diverse L.A. has become. I wish the whole of L.A. was reflected more in the account."

    What he thinks he has learned from his time on the project is "how clearly we are now living in two worlds: the real world, IRL. And this 'Black Mirror' thing."

    What makes him laugh about the newspaper is that he's old enough to remember when everyone was offline scrambling to establish a presence on the internet and now the phenomenon has gone full circle and publishers are trying to establish their presence offline.

    I don't understand why a person looking at themselves in a window is either insecure or vain. Maybe they realized they've just eaten spinach and they fear it's stuck between their teeth. Or they've just tripped and fallen and they are fixing their clothes or hair. Is it insecure or vain not wanting to stroll around with a green tooth or with your skirt stuck in your pantyhose?

    On a similar note, I'm amazed how many people have now accepted the disinformation that the CDC originally said masks don't work. The original guidance was that they didn't know how effective non-N95 masks were and that the N95s were needed for medical personnel, so we should only mask if we had Covid or were caring for someone with Covid, not that we shouldn't wear masks at all. The fact that they told us to mask up if we were dealing with Covid was a clear message that masks are protective.

    I'm doubting the construction worker was wearing a surgical mask. It was probably an N95 with a valve that makes it easier to exhale. Those aren't used in a medical setting. And a properly fitted N95 without the valve does stop viruses. The surgical masks and cloth masks people have been using aren't great for protecting the user from inhaling virus but are pretty good at diminishing the amount of exhaled virus they may have from reaching others.

    It reminds me of the parking guy outside Bristol Zoo in England. Everybody liked him he was always very friendly. One day he didn't turn up for work. The zoo phoned the council and the council said we thought he worked for you he doesn't work for us. Turns out he had put the parking meters in himself and had now gone to live somewhere in the sun with a couple million pounds. I wonder if there's anywhere I can install a parking meter.

    Really? The most current gay people argument is respect me for who I am. If you believe what is said in this post is true or this post is true, gay people look forward to a day in which they can be anyone or thing other than themselves. If this is the case how can the gay community stand on a principal such as respect me for who I am?

    The cop asked NICELY. He has a point. Going that fast will heighten the risk that she is going to get involved in an accident. Even if she's a pro cyclist, accidents still happen especially if ur riding a bike that fast. You could have responded nicely too.

    No, but you could be arrested for dangerous driving. And we could also add some "resisting arrest" and "threatening a police officer" to it. On top of that we could take you down to the police station for a breath test and a blood sample and before you know it, we have kept you detained for 24 hours.

    with girls, it can sometimes be dangerous to let a man think he's flirting with you, else he might feel 'led on' and feel entitled to something. And it was just an easy way to deter him, other than saying 'I have a boyfriend' or 'I'm lesbian' or the like, which he could still press on with like: 'I can do better than him' or 'I bet I could change that'. especially in a big city.

    It's frightening how far the quality of political discourse has fallen. As Isaac Asimov said, "The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." Little did he know how much worse it would get.

    It sucks to finally get to see a place or something you've always wanted to see or experience and you get there and the people from there are just rude and hateful

    A future spy on the making. Don't break under pressure and black mail and have too much info on the phone to allow to fall under wrong hands.

    I doubt the person overhearing this had any way to know how old the really girl is... might have been an unusually youngish-looking teen.

    Smart enough to realize that the father paid for the phone out of his own money and is likely to buy her a new one eventually.

    Or confuse the carp out of them by adding coins to adjust the change you get back: $5.12 for a $4.62 purchase.

    Debit is spending money that you have, credit is spending money that you don't have.

    Just take "else" out of the sentence and you will sound less douchey! Also : "If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough"

    It's not difficult to understand. Credit cards meant that you're using the bank's money and you'll need to repay with interest and you can choose to pay the minimum sum instead. Charge cards meant that you need to repay in full when the payment is due. Debit cards meant your own money in the bank and you're paying using the same tech instead of going to the ATM.

    In this context it is badly worded...debit is to take, but credit is actually to give/receive so it is like asking do you want to pay me, or should I pay you? Rather than, would you like to make payment with a debit card or a credit card, which should make sense to all.

    Credit card where you take a loan and pay interest, or debit card where they take the money directly from your bank account.

    Depression is a MF-er, and it doesn't matter the circumstance if you have low serotonin. Perhaps the woman is talking about that.

    We don't know if they sang badly. All we know is that the person likes "their" podcast more than listening to the song.
