Saint Vitus is one of the top things I miss since leaving.

Back in the day on the very rare occasion that I had a 7 or G train car all to myself, I’d belt out the loudest operatic singing voice I could manage. There’s nowhere on Earth more isolated than an empty NYC subway car, gotta seize that opportunity.

Fairly certain it stacks in more western nations than it doesn’t. I know a woman in Australia who fucked off for almost a full year after saving up time for a decade.

Pretty sure that’s considered wage theft in all 50 states.

Rolling them over would be better, but most full time jobs do cash out your unused PTO onto the last paycheck of the financial year.

Haha I don’t know enough about Parisian culture to be comfortable taking such potshots!

My account of 12 years got permabanned presumably after the mods of /r/portland made false reports about me to the admins because my advocacy for the homeless wasn’t what they wanted their controlled discourse to look like. They harassed me across other subreddits before doing so, too. I was the main moderator of a somewhat popular NYC-based subreddit, that sub was suddenly lawless after I poof disappeared and I have no way of explaining to the sub members what happened.

Come meet the most vindictive, aggravated, arbitrarily argumentative people you’ve ever met. On Reddit!

Don’t wait, you’ll thank yourself after you switch. In very frequent cases Windows games literally run faster in Linux under Proton. Get that state-sponsored spyware out of your home!
- Comment on Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things is treated as a safety crisis in the media 5 weeks ago:
I think the math works out that each year the average American has roughly 1 in 10,000 chance of dying in a car crash and a 1 in 200 chance of being injured in a car crash (Though the second stat likely leaves out a lot of unreported injuries). The average American rolls those dice once a year.

Lost World had some fun stuff (Despite diverging from it’s book even worse than the first movie) but you’re really not missing much, none of the sequels come within a mile the original.

Eh, if Michael Chrichton were still alive today he’d probably condone it all so long as he got his royalty check.

I think you touched on why. Ethnic identity is somewhat arbitrary, and tied up with national / cultural identity. In the US, despite our xenophobic phases most of us culturally identify as a nation of immigrants. So in terms of ethnicity, we’re more concerned with where our lineage existed before arriving in the United States, rather than how long it’s existed in the United States. There’s a bit of a hierarchy of “who’s family has existed in the US the longest”, but all of those claims are still anchored by which nations their ancestors came from.
There’s also the fact that American genetics haven’t been sedentary long enough - And probably never will be - For us to mix evenly enough to develop a unified physical appearance. Ethnicity is of course not just skin deep, but ethnic identity and identification often uses it as shorthand, and there is as far as I know no stereotypical American ethnic appearance.

Interesting, I’m autistic and what frustrates me here is that the question specifically asks you to posit “How is it possible” and the teacher insists that you’re supposed to just say it’s not.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 months ago:
How is that possible?
“False”

The question literally says “Marty ate more pizza”. It’s a foundational fact that you’re given as a part of the problem. If the answer was the say “Actually, no he didn’t” then you might as well answer “No, he actually at 1/6 of his pizza”.

- Comment on I feel attacked 2 months ago:
I’m a middle-aged cyclist (though I got into it around 20) who eschews lycra. I hate the look, the fit, and the feel. I bike in vans slip-on, running shorts, and t-shirts. At most I’ll wear chamois under the shorts. No clips for me either, flats with the peg screws forever. 90% road cyclist btw, very little mountain biking. Oh and no fitness tracker / GPS as of a few years ago. I just need as little friction as possible between being not on the bike and being on the bike. For me it translates to more fun and many more miles.

So you’re making an arbitrary value judgment about which legal violations are acceptable and which aren’t. That’s fine to do, for yourself. But you’re applying them onto others.
It would be one thing to debate someone about when it is and isn’t OK to break the law, but you’re not doing that. You’re just implying that someone else is wrong because they don’t share the exact same illegalist framework as you. And you’re resting your entire point upon that supposition.
I dunno bud, if you’re OK with people speeding to pass, maybe relax about people doing the speed limit in the left lane instead of insisting that it’s your way or the highway. Pun intended.
