Ol Standard Retard posted:We refer to Hal Prince as "Uncle Hal". he's not the family member though. This has been a fun exercise in expressing how neat the connection is without having my name be extremely easily googleable. Although I'm sure it already is on SA at least. I sang for him once, I can probably call him Uncle Hal too right

I feel like plastic grocery bags get way more use in NYC than they do elsewhere. In rural areas they occasionally get reused, but more often just get thrown out as soon as they get home. Here, pretty much everyone I know uses them for garbage bags instead of buying giant plastic garbage bags. I would end up using way more plastic if grocery bags weren't an option.

Yeah I've legit never thrown away handfuls of plastic bags or anything like that. I have one of those holders, and I've never had to clean it out. I live alone, so I don't buy a ton of stuff in bags and I don't produce a ton of trash, so it balances well. Making them more biodegradable would be great, but making people pay for garbage bags instead is no improvement.

get that OUT of my face posted:apparently when subway announcements talk about "train traffic," it usually means that they're spacing the trains evenly for god knows what reason My unfavorite announcement is "there's another train directly behind this one." That one could go either way, which is what makes it so maddening.

Those first 5 points are going to change rent stabilization dramatically, like mega dramatically. Good cause eviction is also a huge deal even for non-rent-stabilized people. Altogether it just seems way too good to be true (and wow I wish it'd been a thing in time for me to take advantage).

I really don't like whining about ~cancel culture~ but I really, really hate "sex pest." Imo it's used to minimize and cover up awful poo poo. A pest is a mildly annoying younger sibling, not a serial predator. Anyway here's an article https://www.lohud.com/story/news/politics/2019/06/25/open-government-advocate-robert-freeman-fired-sex-harass-complaint/1553784001/

And allegedly said sexist and racist poo poo. And did something inappropriate to multiple women at work in 2013 that ended with him having to take extra "how to not sexually harass people" classes, and getting a warning he could be fired. In 2013 And, according to the Inspector General's letter, admitted to most of it, "including meeting with and kissing the young reporter" really recommend reading the article

Yeah, the issue is not "don't say ___ because it's not polite," the issue is that saying it reveals something about your actual values that isn't in line with what your purported values are. The point is less to get you to mask those deep beliefs, more to get you to examine and change them

The argument that there were anti-BLM undercover provocateurs among the protestors doesn't seem like made-up bullshit. Anecdotally it's been a thing in NYC for awhile. https://twitter.com/freeyourmindkid/status/1266598693647638528 (Long thread including pics) https://twitter.com/gypsyeyedbeauty/status/1266164431584714753 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/george-floyd-death-protests-white-arm-bands-new-york-police-a9540036.html https://twitter.com/whstancil/status/1266751535566016515 (thread and replies) The argument is not that POC are too saintly to riot or that there were no POC involved, the argument is that cops and white supremacists are trying to make protesters and POC look bad. Which should not come as a shock.

Matt Zerella posted:it's quote tweeting a moron who's promoting a "foreign agent" angle on the protests. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2020/05/30/every-person-arrested-in-saint-paul-last-night-was-from-out-of-state-mayor-says/ Mechafunkzilla posted:Obviously they exist, but focusing on the "agents provocateur" narrative is a concession to frame the discussion on their terms. It's not only not joining with the whole tone of "well of course we all condemn violence of any kind", but it also distracts from the fact that police meeting protesters with batons and barricades (and allowing police-community relations to break down for years and years) is going to escalate things 1000x more than any number of undercovers throwing rocks, and that this is a case of resisting force with force, not of "unprovoked violence".

Queensboro Plaza is very dependent on the season. In good weather it's probably my favorite. Above 80° or under 50° it can gently caress off.
