@skooookum They would never admit that these people are holding us hostage. So the advantage of allowing Waymo is that it makes the problems with these groups clear which is good in the long run

My hot take is that it’s probably wise to not introduce Waymo yet unless you are incredibly optimistic about the consequences of putting 828373773 military age men with no documentation and no education out of work

Congrats to NYC Mayor on yet another push to harm the majority in the interest of protecting a minority interest group Waymo rollout in NYC has been stopped

I asked a couple their net worth:
Julie: "If you include our primary residence, it's in the ballpark of 12 million."
Ramit: "Have you ever said that number out loud?"
Julie: "No, it makes me really uncomfortable."
Ramit: "How would you describe yourself socio-economically?"
Julie: "Upper middle class."
Tom: "Take out the upper part and you're right."
At $12 million, she describes them as "upper middle class." He thinks they're "middle class."
Why do you think wealthy people find it so difficult to describe themselves as wealthy?

@soncharm Recycling is the best example of this. It’s objectively worse than landfill, but they can’t possibly stop doing it.
If recycling doesn’t work and we keep doing it, to them it must be the fault of manufacturing companies for not making it more viable.

The way you can know that Banning Plastic Bags is a progressive policy is that it makes things more inconvenient. It compels regular people to ‘make a sacrifice’. Therefore, it must be worth doing, one assumes.
When you’re progressive you are always on the lookout for things like this - sacrifices to impose on other people, which you assume, without doing any actual analysis of anything, Probably Helps Something Somehow.
Then you beam with pride at what a good person you are. Why can’t the complainers just shut up and be a good heckin’ person like you are?
sonch@soncharm
it’s progressive banning stores from giving us convenient ways to carry out the goods we purchased is the most significant progressive reform, and value-add contribution to our lives, that progressives have come up with since back when they told us all to ‘up our mask game’

@NoahProoval @daadaadaadaa @SaladBarFan You said “ Uh... The Crime Wave? Also, it's pretty much totally explained by the huge increase in young people”
English
@daadaadaadaa @SaladBarFan And as I said it's not a univariate model. A bunch of other shit was going on like Civil Rights unrest, cheap guns, the Drug War, Miranda etc. etc. But a big increase in young men was what made it all have a huge effect. The 60s/70s were a perfect storm swirling shit show.

A lot of liberals don’t even know this happened, Caldwell had to call out John Ganz in his book review for ignoring the crime wave as a causal explanation for the rise of the conservative movement.

I still find it funny that anyone thinks that the Nixon campaign’s focus on fighting violent crime in 1968 and 1972 is best explained as a segregationist dogwhistle.

@HarleyShah @prescottcraig @BravoKiloActual No, buying something stolen at a cheaper price doesn’t prove you couldn’t afford it.

Security tags on a block of cheese. This is where Britain is now. When basic food needs anti theft devices, it’s not just crime, it’s a collapse in deterrence and standards. A serious country doesn’t tolerate this.

Serious question. Are drunk drivers in NY doing jail time? For driving drunk. No crash, no injury. For that alone. Pulled over, shit faced drunk. Not asking if they should do jail time. Does it happen?

@1sPlaza @shanetrained Hot take: Science base lifting created a lot of weird looking physiques and a cop out for many to be huge pussies in the gym
English
Legs got lit up. Knees felt good so put 5pps and went ass to grass. Focused on slow eccentrics and time under tension through the entire range with no pause at the top. Worked in some Roger’s Squat Pro since the other 2 movements I usually do was taken up.

gaps in relationships:
- restaurant gap (going out vs. staying in)
- museum gap (do you want wander vs. sprint)
- travel gap (need to travel a lot vs. fine with 1-2 trips a year)
- money gap (spending heavily vs. stingy)
- living gap (city vs. suburb vs. middle of nowhere)
- ambition gap (highly driven vs. ok with career not being focal POV)
- texting gap (heavy communicator vs. sporadic)
- friend gap (big social group vs. 1-2 friends max)

sure NYT I believe that a “restaurant gap relationship” is not only a real thing but that a phenomenon that has only emerged in the past 5-10 years wrought by opportunistic opentable scrapers, private dining clubs, credit card points, concierge services, and nyc’s increasingly competitive restaurant scene is in fact “the ultimate test of compatibility”
