But why

In my country there was like 10 wonderful years when almost nobody smoked.

In the last 5-10 years all that got reversed by vaping, it’s everywhere now. Not as bad as smoking though.

I want to buy an old police cruiser (crown Vic) and chop it up into a rally car, and do the gambler 500.

Why do they think it’s necessary to fill every area with music

It should be ok for places to be quiet. If employees want music they should wear headphones. That way they could listen to what they want too.

Yeah really like who are these people who weren’t going to vote for Joe? Are they stupid?

boujiest

I know this is one of those “grandpa doesn’t like it when they make up new words” scenarios, but you can just say “most bourgeois”.

If my country was at war with another, of course I’d be afraid of their supporters

If I was Israeli I may be afraid of someone wearing a Palestinian flag tshirt. Also the other way around. Seems reasonable.

Similar experience. The food was amazing, the louvre and notre damme were crowded, musee dorsay was great, streets were gross and grifters everywhere.

Then I went to Kyoto. It was everything Paris is supposed to be. Absolutely amazing place. Incredible French food actually, wasn’t expecting that.

Use the water pressure to power a turbine generator, then use the electricity from that generator to run a window AC unit

Short term rentals would be fine if companies like Airbnb weren’t getting a cut. Like they existed on Craigslist and as actual bead-and-breakfasts way before airbnb et al existed.

Only if he claims it’s an official act though! Don’t forget that part! Write “official act as president” on everything!

Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.

I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.

It mentions that the right wants to limit immigration in response, but is that a non sequitor? Like the article doesn’t say anything about the crime being done by immigrants or their descendants. Like is that true? Who knows, the article doesn’t address it.

Exactly.

If gas cost $100 per gallon, cities would HAVE to build trolleys or subways. Which is my dream. I just want trains

Imagine how much better the world would be if gas cost $100 per gallon

How are they going to know it wasn’t Ukraine

Just fucking sink them

No. In the US at least, wages are up for blue collar work, and that’s where the economy was most vulnerable. Inflation has been bad but it’s coming back under control and wages can outpace it in the next couple years, median wage growth already has (yes I have a hard time believing this too, but that’s the numbers).

The last financial crisis had a flagrant cause in default-prone loans. There isn’t such a problem right now.

The largest crisis we are running into is a crisis of propaganda, where people are being told “everything is terrible” when in fact the numbers show that everything is pretty great… except for white collar tech workers (me!).

I think the tech market will rebound the second that the fed lowers rates again, because tech is fundamentally capital intensive and speculative. So you need cheap money to fuel tech. Video games deflated/corrected a bit but that’s fine, those people can work on other things.
