Well, hopefully the site is written well enough to scale the users database if necessary.

The right to choose not to vote is not really hurt by people reminding you to vote.

Or, you know, spend your time and money on making it easier for people to vote (like advocating for vote by mail in shitty states that don't make it universally available now) and stop wasting your time telling people like me, who aren

Did you know some people don't even eat breakfast?

The idea that the city doesn't have a right to dictate exactly that is nonsensical. Pretending that we have suddenly jumped from an anarchist free-for-all city environment with no such concept as zoning to this brand new day of regulat

Well, I was only out of work eight months so I can't say for sure that people don't cut off at 'a year'. But based on the reactions I got, I'd be quite surprised if that was a standard practice. I can imagine it bei

Good point, that wasn't the best article for my point! There are no specific lawsuits fighting the non-compete, however in the years following that case several states decided that the harm actually is caused simply by making employees

I did it in 2015, didn't have any trouble coming back and getting a job last October. Definitely a lot of people sounded amazed and impressed during interviews.

Well, yea. One of them is an actual good candidate and the other is Trump. The media is just trying to make them look competitive so people keep reading stories on the election.

Meh, it's probably less diverse than any one state in the US. It's probably less diverse than most cities, and equally made up of disparate parts.

It's a little disappointing that someone got all the way through pitching, writing and publishing this story without a serious look at whether the serious amateur runner is being diverted to other sports. Sure, they included a stupid t

I thought you were saying that this bill would raise rents, but it sounds like you actually meant that Airbnb-ing an apartment raises rents, is that right?

Interesting to see that they had one offer that they sat on for 30+ days - seems like a long time for the company to wait?
