I think it's like TERF where people used to proudly self-identify with it until it became a "slur" due to their lovely beliefs. My understanding based on secondhand twitter knowledge is that YIMBYs like to think they're the "good" gentrifiers but are typically against any new affordable housing citing all sorts of unfounded arguments for how it would lower their property value or whatever and think the housing crisis can be solved with vouchers and tax breaks to developers over decades if they pinky swear they'll build something for the poors maybe one day.

I love how all of this happened without any media fanfare or PR firms talking about it. Just quietly taking care of his workers without asking for any kind of return.

I went to Margaritaville in LA yesterday with a friend and he accidentally knocked over his drink. The bartender made him a new one without question, and said it was cool how he literally poured one out for Jimmy.

RIP to a legend.

That's because they don't want sex. They want a submissive and loyal virginal supermodel wife who they deserve to have just for being born with a penis and think it's modern society's fault that they don't have that.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

But it sounds like it's used in a derogatory sense because they talk about wanting poo poo built but not actually in their back yard. They mean poor peoples yards.

So, more like YIYBYs.

She's not attacking all YIMBYs, she said tech NIMBYs and she mentioned filtering, i.e. she's making GBS threads on the dudes who believe in market solutions to affordable housing, meaning the market is going to create enough supply (somehow) that the poor eventually end up with cheap hand-me-down housing.

I mean that is the definition of a NIMBY. I think this person is using Tech as a modifier to YIMBY to mean people who are Yes Please Build The Torment Nexus In My Backyard. The tech solves all problems and has no faults types.

In SF at least there's a whole proudly self identifying YIMBY movement that is full of market solution people. They think NIMBY means anti-development, period, and so are proud of being in favor of the exact kind of development that always happens - displacement of the poor, government money going to companies that build apartment buildings for professionals and the rich, etc.

Yup. They watch high end luxury apartments go up and pat each other on the backs for doing their part to alleviate the housing crunch while rents and prices often go up.

Okay, and Clint Eastwood's backing beat is a slightly adjusted omnichord sample and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger heavily samples Cola Bottle Baby. But I don't think anyone diminishes the Gorillaz or Daft Punk's music for using those samples.

Smash mouth rallied, ate the eggs, and some goon was utterly loving destroyed because he showed up in person and got relentlessly made fun of.

Eat the eggs, die a legend.

Mock the eater, disappear in a cloud of shame.

Your egg lore is weak. Smash mouth did not in fact eat as many eggs as he agreed to eat. He invited others up on stage to finish the eggs for him.

The situation is even more complex though. He had invited Guy Fieri to prepare the eggs. Guy Fieri added spice when the other guy wasn't looking. So poor smash mouth not only had to eat eggs, which he didn't like, the eggs were far too spicy for his taste. In the end it took 3 or 4 people to eat the eggs.
