I tip generously at my local bar and in return they sometimes give me free stuff. Got a whole sandwich recently.

A friend of mine at least once ordered delivery from the Mexican place that was directly below her apartment. She said the delivery guy was a little confused. She had a lot of depression at the time.

I’d like to see more spaces converted into like “15 minute loading/unloading”. There’s a lot of double parking that’s just people trying to do something quick.

I think it was on coney Island avenue the other day that the whole right lane was taken up by people double parking. That’s absurd. Not sure why so many people needed to drive someplace so close to several subways and bus stops, but there’s a lot of ways to discourage that space.

Conservatives don’t say things because they’re true. They say things because they think it will get them what they want.

Part of being conservative (ie: authoritarian) is being extra loyal to the in-group. I think it’s like in their brain chemistry and structure. They will almost always yield to the authority figure for their in group.

It faces the problem where even if people like the policy, they’re emotionally invested in being Republicans. Also many of them don’t want social programs if it means non-whites benefit. I think those people need to be dragged into the future. Find a way to let them be decent and save their stupid face.

The book “Dying of Whiteness” is fascinating and depressing look into this. Many people would rather personally suffer and die than let the out-group have something nice. They don’t want healthcare for all because that means black people get it.

Everything from the right is a confession. A projection. They are stupid selfish people that struggle to understand other people.

Is this a joke?

Ah. I’m on Pop!_Os, which I think is downstream from Ubuntu. So it’ll make its way to me eventually, I guess. Not sure how to track that, heh.

Naive question: does this just come in with like apt update, or do I have to go out of my way?

I would not be surprised if ICE was currently using gas chambers. I would be less surprised if they were doing some other method of mass murder.

The author they’re criticizing, McGinnis, sounds like a real asshole.

Whoever wrote that quoted bit is an asshole and fool.

Oh my gosh if he died due to lightning strike we could power the world on the cognitive dissonance from all the evangelicals.

Moore’s argument compels these courts to grapple with the very substantial body of law that defines corporations and their powers as creations of the states. The Alitos and Thomases will doubtless find a way, however implausible, to wriggle around that, but even if the usual suspects on the federal bench proceed in customary pro-business lockstep, actions like Hawaii’s will fuel in many ways the growing populist and popular revolt against oligarchy and corporatocracy.

We know that we have these scumbag “justices” and yet they persist

Are you going to allow states to issue currency?

That’s like several months of food. Or years worth of video games. That’s so expensive. Even if I was a big fan of the sport, I wouldn’t be able to justify spending that.

They should also be forced to pay a year’s salary to everyone who applied to a ghost job. (That’s a job that’s not real and they have no intention of filling)

Unemployment lasts a limited time, and this doesn’t address the problems with hiring companies dragging their feet or having ghost jobs.
