@Alconaut05L @JCColtin @grok how big is Amazon's presence in Hudson Yards and when did it open

@JCColtin Many New Yorkers lost opportunity for high paying jobs, many small business cafes, laundry in the area lost opportunity for more business

Seven years after Amazon pulled out of Queens for its HQ2, anti-Amazon organizer Zohran Mamdani is mayor and AOC is fundraising off of being right about it - since the project that went to Virginia instead has been disappointing.

Nah, no one has a job in Williamsburg

@Lvl_99_Slayer @SoupRS I preferred the privacy of my own POH back then

@SoupRS Do people actually have esex on the second floor of Varrock West Bank

REPLY WITH A RUNESCAPE MYTH YOU WANT SOLVED IN A VIDEO

@DamsErika @notchrisvolpe Amazon Hudson Yards continues to exist and hire/lay off people regularly

@notchrisvolpe I do. The site still a parking lot and derelict wedding venue.

Remember when Andrew Cuomo tried to put this thing in Queens?

@alisun0302 @broccoli_pd can't believe what she called you

Kind of miss my biggest problem was sharing a bathroom with a tranny.

@adamscochran Reduces payouts across the board perhaps

So a journalist reporting on the situation in Iran won’t get revenue from American views… Niche creators who post about something like clothing or Lego and have cult followings but live in south east Asia now get next to no revenue. OSINT accounts which are some of the most valuable resources on this site and viewed globally, now get tanked in revenue. This is an utterly daft decision for your global town square. Why wouldn’t you only apply this to political content? Or use sentiment analysis targeting ragebait? Huge blow for a lot of really valuable creators out there who reach global audiences on non-geo specific content.

TLDR on Iran

@midtownmikey_ @jaymart222 Rent controlled, not stabilized. Theyre different things in Nyc

@jaymart222 No brainer that you should not be able to transfer rent stabilized apartments

This family is crammed into a $3900 1 bedroom apartment. A few blocks away A single person who inherited her apartment pays 1300 for a large 2 bedroom. This is one of the key failures of the rent stabilization system. It turns an apartment into an inherited asset that prevents anyone else who might need a two bedroom apartment like a family for example from accessing it ever again. And it happens all over the city. There are massive 5,6,7 bedroom apartments (for real I never believed it myself until I saw it) in pre war buildings in northern Manhattan and the Bronx where large families could be living. The owner also can’t turn them into multiple apartments so more people who need housing can live in new 1 or 2 bedrooms made from old 5,6,7 bedrooms due to a law passed two years ago to stop “Frankensteining”. TL:DR when you hate landlords so much you prevent the availability of more housing and turn apartments into inherited wealth.

@gettles @MagicofAzi Spent traveling between the two constantly

@MagicofAzi Where’s the last month

Moving back to New York. Gave Florida my best try but between >taxes >rent >food >weather NYC still takes the cake.

@AJR_despiser @Cooter how do people not lose their minds slowly waiting to click the next green box

@Cooter I will do you one better. Install the blindfold plugin so it only shows green agility obstacles and everything else is black. Set runelite opacity under regular runelite setting to something like 40 and you can just overlay game on full screen video

dude i just discovered the picture in picture chrome extension and agility is gonna be so much better now

@getclockwise good job

Salesforce buys the software that keeps my calendar free of bullshit meetings and kills it with 11 days notice. Nice!

@texasrunnerDFW @fintechfrank Do you want the cardiac surgeon to say 'I won't operate on you unless you pay me 100k up front' like a plastic surgeon? It's fucked up to see the pay difference, but it makes sense when you consider elective vs life saving surgery

@fintechfrank That a cardiac surgeon is earning 1/6 of an elective vanity surgeon is…very American but also very disconcerting

NY Mag spoke with 60 New Yorkers about how much they made last year. Here were some of the top earners: • Consultant — $17M • Manhattan plastic surgeon — $4M • Venture capitalist — $3.5M • Head of engineering at an AI startup — $2.45M • Interior designer — $1.5M • Dentist — $1.2M • Cardiovascular surgeon — $670K • Seasoned journalist — $500K

@PinoAmericano @StrawhatPatriot @Thiss_Youu My honest assessment is you're fucking retarded

@StrawhatPatriot @Thiss_Youu It is my honest assessment. I haven’t seen a direct rebuttal.

@sliccmic And while you're stuck there. Don't forget to huff some superfun site fumes

greenpoint is incredible. lets make it accessible by one train line only and lets make sure that train is literally never running. and you thought the bus was going to come? thats so funny

Pretty sure this dude has a brain tumor or something

@CryptoParadyme @smolHonker @fejau_inc "get us out of Ukraine" being a priority but not any of the other shit shows is funny

@smolHonker @fejau_inc Nothing to do with exciting (though trump brings that) We wanted someone who was not going to continue putting mentally ill men wearing dresses in charge of critical national operations, lower our taxes, and get us out of Ukraine.

@jasonwilliamsmd Until it inevitably stops working. N.E.D != cure

Stage 3 rectal cancer in a 26 year old. This is what I've been warning about. The incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults has nearly doubled since the early 1990s. We're seeing Stage III and IV in people under 40 with increasing aggressiveness. But the real story here is the treatment. This is dostarlimab, a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor. Immunotherapy alone. No surgery. No chemo. No radiation. 100% clinical complete response rate in mismatch repair deficient rectal cancers. The immune system did what it was designed to do. We've known since PD-1 inhibitors were approved in 2014 that this was the direction cancer treatment needed to go. The paradigm is shifting. Empower the immune system instead of destroying it.

@jwickers @RnaudBertrand So much crazy shit has happened in the past 6 months, I almost forgot about the double taps

@RnaudBertrand I mean they literally double tapped small unarmed boats near Venezuela for no reason, this is par for the course.

Pete Hegseth said this was "the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since WWII" (which is false, but that's beside the point), so I decided to look at what happened in WW2 and... this might surprise no-one: turns out the Nazis were more humane than the Americans. Probably the most abject part here is that the warship had many survivors - 32 to be precise (apnews.com/article/sri-la…) - and the U.S. made zero effort to rescue them, despite it being required by the laws of naval warfare and simply being the honorable thing to do. It took little Sri-Lanka, with its very modest means - especially compared to the $1 trillion US defense budget - to do the honorable thing and launch a (successful) rescue operation. Even the literal Nazis, during WW2, rescued the survivors of ships their U-boats sank. It was considered a matter of basic honor. The history of this is actually interesting: the Nazis rescued survivors all the way until the so-called Laconia Incident in 1942 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconia_i…). The Laconia was a British troopship sunk by U-156, a German U-boat, off the West African coast. Right after the sinking, the Nazis immediately began rescuing over 400 survivors, broadcasting - as was common practice - in plain English their position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, so they wouldn't get attacked during the rescue. That's when a US B-24 "Liberator" bomber attacked the submarine anyway, even though all the rescued survivors were on its foredeck. The B-24 killed dozens of Laconia's survivors with bombs and strafing attacks, forcing U-156 to cast into the sea the remaining survivors that she had rescued and crash dive to avoid being destroyed. The American B-24 pilots mistakenly reported they had sunk U-156, and were awarded medals for bravery... This event completely changed Nazi policy on this matter: Karl Dönitz, commander of the U-boat fleet, issued the "Laconiarefehl" - the Laconia Order - forbidding U-boats from rescuing survivors, because the risk to the submarine was now too high. In other words, the Americans during WW2 essentially forced the Nazis to abandon survivors - from the allied side (!) - at sea. Dönitz at least had an excuse.
