I've literally seen someone shit in a subway before, and as we know, single toilets can cost millions of dollars in cities for some reason.

You don't need a car to live in these cities, but that doesn't mean it costs less to live there overall.

Better economically, with more tent cities too.

NYC has started bussing people to my rural area in Upstate NY because there isn't enough section 8 housing available and they're on a waiting list.

In my personal experience of living in both rural New York and Pennsylvania and NYC for decades, the ratio seems to skew more towards the city. But I can't say as much for the west. A $2k car is a lot less than higher average taxes and

Why is it that the deepest blue areas of the country have some of the most abject inequity and poverty? It seems that there's a fine line between compassion and enablement when it comes to the deep blue municipalities of New York, Chi

The trick is to under promise and over deliver. Only give 50%-60% of your true capacity and gear up whenever it's truly urgent. If everything's urgent, nothing is urgent.

During COVID my wife and I decided to pack up our lives in NYC, move home, and bring work with us. A few months later my parents _bought the house next to ours_, and our lives are incredible: We support each other and enrich each other&#x2

Could they have picked a better sounding acronym? Maybe APPA (American Privacy and Protection Act)?

Don't let your work identity interfere with your personal one; you are not your job/career—don't let it get to you. That said, put in whatever your terms of employment asks of you and negotiate overtime compensation if they&

Are they going to pay to have my gas furnace replaced with a heat pump and buy me a new range? (as a side note: I prefer gas ranges over electric and induction in my cooking experience) Otherwise I'm going to freeze and go broke in Ups

And where would you rate yourself on the political spectrum?

Why would the public trust an AI over an editorial team? Couldn't it be just as biased?

I think you nailed it.

I don't even understand what your point is anymore. This poster is calling out the CCP and its policies; not people of the Chinese race. If you can't see that then I'm not sure what to tell you. There is nothing racist about

We still get called racist when we try to bring up this distinction.

Hey, the virus did originate in Wuhan China and was covered up initially by the CCP. That's just a fact. Nothing racist about it. Also, we didn't make these posters, but that shouldn't detract from the actual genocide that&#x

That's not what I asked.

by asow92 5y ago
So we might be racist for calling out genocide and ethnic cleansing?

Glad that they reversed this. The Chinese people are not the Chinese government and all governments should be open to scrutiny in a free society.

Emphasis on the sort of part; universal means universal—everyone gets it. It's not Universal Guaranteed Income, it's Universal Basic Income. My wife and I worked the whole time and we made too much to ever get any stimulus. So we

Even if we zero out every US billionaire (imagine that for a second; take 100% of their wealth and leave them with exactly $0) it would not even cover 1/5 of the US national debt. We can't see taking their money as a viable long t

Maybe you should start working to live instead of living to work. Start a family or reconnect with your existing family.

There’s a lot of vintage Pyrex pots out there. Growing up near Corning New York, one finds an abundance of it. Here’s an example set: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CORNING-WARE-VISIONS-Pyrex-Amber-Co...

It's also about general safety in NYC. There have been a many deadly accidents over the years. Whole buildings have gone up in flames: https://ny.eater.com/2020/1/21/21070310/pommes-frites-east-v...

As someone who has lived in middle America and NYC, so much yes. Many in both are just as sure that their way is the superior one.

See, I would be more open to induction, but due to its physics issues it's a non-starter for me. I use some aluminum, copper, and Pyrex cookware in my kitchen and none of those will work with induction. So for me it's between elec

Grew up with electric and much prefer using gas ranges now that I have the choice. I just prefer gas stoves and I don't think that the article or discussions in this thread are going to dissuade me from that. Also, my baseboard _and_ s
