@GeauxSeeTheLady House of cards was strictly for the white folks. The black community was not watching that. We heard about it though. Orange is the new black got everybody watching.
English
they’ve relegated it to hell because of kevin spacey but house of cards is literally where the TUDUM sound came from. it’s the show that established netflix as a streamer, but OINTB popularized the binge model.
Almeda. stans black women 🤎@unapologhetto
I always thought Orange is the new black made Netflix famous

@DE_Gifford Probably cheaper and easier for them to destroy than to try to resell.

@janecoaston I don't get how mixed people identifying as black "erases the reality of American diversity"
English
this is the worst possible place to have this conversation but -- racial perception and racial culture (as in, how race is perceived within a broader culture) is a massive impediment to this ever being a thing.

It's time to stop automatically counting all half-Black people as just "Black". The One Drop Rule is a legacy of segregation, and it erases the reality of American diversity.
English
@Noahpinion The One Drop Rule is a legacy of slavery, not segregation. So are racial categories themselves. People can identify however they want, but having at least one parent of African descent has been the historical definition of being Black.

@cosmoksmom I’ve never seen 1 person in there. Even after the remodel.

This use to be a White Castle in Michigan but it was changed to Almalook Cafeteria. I’ve never seen anyone eat in here before it just sits abandoned.

@odalfren @rowanfornow It's a "highly skilled" worker visa. Construction labor is categorized as that (there are other visas for that), but construction mgmt can be included, like at that Hyundai plant in Georgia that got raided by ICE last year.

@rowanfornow h1bdata.info/topjobs.php
Here is literally a database showing what jobs are on h1b

>"no H1B visas allowed for construction"
dude how am I supposed to engage with my political opponents in good faith when they don't even know what the policies they panic about do. H1B visas are for software developers, not construction workers.
Dr Manhattva@Manhattva
Terms for allowing the data center in Utah. 1. No H1B visas allowed for construction or full time jobs there. 2. Prioritize all full time hires from Utah and make the bar to hire from out of the state extremely high. 3. Make sure the power and energy that comes from gas pipelines is sourced from outside of Utah and will it result in a net increase in energy cost to Utahns. (Already done. Current pipeline comes from out of state and was dedicated to Oregon until they passed legislation to stop all new fossil fuels) 4. Even though it will not be using nearly as much water as the average person believes, make sure that it will result in being a net surplus of water to the state of Utah through assignment of water, rights, or far more ideally actually building pipelines to the state. 5. Demonstrate that it will provide a significant tax base that doesn’t currently exist. (already done. Current tax receipts for this property is $200,000 to box Elder County. Will result in $100 million annual tax base to Box Elder County and $250 million annually to the state of Utah.) Those are my terms.

“people who don’t live in nyc should pay taxes to nyc as punishment for not living in nyc” is one of the weirdest takes i’ve ever seen on here.
fully fund transit@crosstown_line
high earning suburbanites who earn income in NYC should absolutely pay at least a small (let’s say 2% of income of $250k) income tax to NYC, it’s in the city’s interest to reduce the perceived financial incentives for suburbanization
English
@nazzobetweeting @al171148 Non-residents do not pay income tax to NYC, even if they work in the city. Income tax is only paid by residents.

@Mangini01 @TheEXECUTlONER_ Only trucks should merge early because it takes them longer to move. Everybody else should do what this guy did.
English
@TheEXECUTlONER_ He's a dick. If everyone were him you'd have the same problem only in left lane. I used to block those cock suckers when I drove truck
English
This guy is using the left hand lane , which is open. There is a mile long backup and everyone is over in the right hand lane.
He drives all the way up until he has to merge.
Some people are saying what a jerk he is for not getting in line like everyone else, but a great many people are saying that the cars in the right lane merged into one lane too soon and that if they had used the left lane, instead of being a mile backup it would have been a half a mile backup.
What’s your take? Do you think he was correct in using the left lane and merging up at the front or should he have merged right and got in line way in the back like everyone else?

@TheMidgetSmith @blacindo Should they have built the mall in the middle of a lake?

Wait til you see how we feel about establishments having “Detroit” in the company name and they’re not located in the city.

I didn’t realize until about a month ago how strongly Detroit fans that live in Detroit view Detroit fans that don’t live in Detroit as outsiders or phonies. Sounds personal. Had no idea.

@intothecrevasse What's wrong with a tourist paying $9 to connect to the subway from the airport? You won't get a much better deal in comparable cities.
English
The JFK AirTrain is, unfortunately, the perfect way to greet newcomers to our city. First thing upon setting foot here, you’re shaken down for nine bucks just to leave the airport, then dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Welcome to New York!
English
@Undue_Risk There are also a few central stations that are named so for the same reason as the Penns and Unions. But Grand Central is the only of those that still has train service.

I’m sure, why does Detroit even need 3 casinos like whose idea was that
Joe F Spaulding 🦉@beyond_process
The Detroit News has a story out today about how Michigan is one of the top states for "gambling revenue". This is gaming losses. Michigan is one of the top states for having hard-earned money bled out to corporations who don't provide a real service, they piggyback on chance.

@MrChinellato @theisaacmed São Paulo feels more to me like the L.A. of Brazil and Rio is the New York. Especially if a bunch of New York's industry decided to pack up one day and move to L.A.
English
@theisaacmed I heard once that São Paulo is if New York threw up on LA.
English
Brazilian cities I’ve experienced compared to American cities I’ve experienced:
São Paulo is basically Brazilian / Latin American NYC. Same level of diversity. Same mega economy vibe. Even food diversity.
Rio De Janeiro is basically Miami. Beach vibes. Kinda grimy underneath. But cool.
Brasíllia is Washington DC. Runs on federal government.
Cant find a fair comparison for LA, or Austin and others yet.
