Brazil: creative flair, Italy: Defensive soundness, Spain: Possession dominant, USA: consistently bad.
We do have a national style.

"Defund the police" is the clearest way to express the idea "fund social services"

The zone 1/2 border is at eastern parkway. So this would be zone 1.

If they're really installing these type of gates I think they will be broken pretty fast by antisocial ppl simply stomping them.

Surprised to see Scott Alexander tossed in with this group by the NYT.

Is that what Scott Alexander said? I really don't think so.

You're missing the follow-up article from the same lead author a year later. "Unlikely it spread before November" "Zoonotic, Zoonosis, this came from animals"

People say respect teachers. Never heard respect writers before.

The DEFUSE proposal was rejected, ie not funded.
The specific proposal was from w scientists to go to a cave in China, gather samples, and send those samples to North Carolina where an American lab would conduct gain of function research (not Wuhan).
So we can know it didn't happen by asking UNC.

I'm not entirely unconvinced that the "median voter" is unreceptive to this.
In the sense that being an annoying unreasonable boss is more relatable and relevant to certain people than fear or knowledge of a crypto fascist.
It is the mirror of "End of democracy? Eggs are really expensive though"

Really there is amazing stuff in there but you walk down a long back hall through a cafeteria to an elevator which takes you unceremoniously to exhibits at each floor. The immediately accessible galleries are off limits and now one is the gift shop selling " I ❤️ BK museum" coffee cups. It's nuts.

They have great stuff in their collection, but the worst exhibit design in NYC. Confusing layout, totally undersell their ancient collection, and recent special exhibits are hard targeted at pop culture/non museum types. Admirable, but need to balance the mix. Rebrand and gift shop are tasteless.

Kinda disingenuous to quote this within the thread wherehe calls his actions illegal and dangerous.

Equated two things that are absurdly different. But, yes there is hypocrisy among Dems. This will be true forever.
If your goal is to shut down gitmo, this would be your moment of crisis to get moderates on your side. Not a moment to "told you so".

Much better comparison is the bridge built to carry that train: 11,000 ft, 8 lanes, 2 train tracks, 4.2 billion.
It's insane.

To be fair...has anyone ever shown evidence current affairs is actually reading young men between the ages of 18-24?
What is this framing? He seems like an ally.

A statement of timeless wisdom that could even be applied to the og post.
It's inevitable that Republicans will pretend everything is excellent all of the sudden. Still, the graph should be presented with the past 12 months, not 2. I wonder why it wasn't?

The Y axis shows that it's not a significant change. Noise.

You don't, the Nazis were modernists.
It's a very silly conversation.

Cool off. There is a massive slew of garbage mid and high end modern architecture. Not everyone who likes a brick mould and a decorative transom window is a fascist.

I don't think the SFH motive fits. Fire & egress requirements were local/state not IBC, so it's hard to get a clean history.
NYC required fire escapes be added to unsafe buildings for the first time in 1867.

They denied my knee surgery, while me knee was locked with a torn ligament inside. Couldn't walk for two months. "Not medically necessary"

They impeached and Republicana did nothing. Odd to place the blame on Democrats instead of Republicans.

The opposition party was joined with the SK president's own party in rejecting it.
It's unfair to blame people who are trying but don't have enough power to fix a problem while ignoring ppl actually causing the problem.

This past week my local community voted to raise taxes build a new school 800 ppl vs 400 ppl.
I thought it would have been reversed after election. Hard to know people's hearts.

Majority of people in NYC don't drive. So it makes plenty of sense. As you say, the transportation options are many and driving is often the worst one.
Funny enough...there's not a single street in NYC that gets cleaned without 100s of tickets being issued.

Is there another way to think of it? For example, seeking an equilibrium.
Some will be very high earners and their children will not surpass them. Some low and children will exceed.
A society growing at a steady rate would bounce around 50% right?

Demographics are definitely different on a G or L vs an A/C for example.
A/C is late every 1/4 rides, while the best lines are closer to 1/10
