Thats how Casey Neistat got his youtube start back in 2012 or so.

The bike lane in NYC was blocked by some bullshit, so he peddled over into the road and a cop ticketed him for riding in the road. So he decided to just ride straight into any obstacle in the bike lane, including construction, delivery trucks, and cop cars. The video went viral, which back then meant something.

The kicker? The ticket was bullshit. He broke no laws by joining the lane. The cop just made shit up and fined him $50, which he unknowingly paid.

Buying things is literally the economy. People spending money into it improves the economy directly. The velocity of money is a key part of a working market, and the rich impart very little of their wealth into it.

The extra panel hidden by the red button is also a great magic school bus callback.

Not surprised Thiels/Musks paypal/venmo are onboard.

This is just an absurd attempt to derail arguments about fair taxation by waiving a red herring around about people being able to voluntarily increase their own taxes, as if asking for a fair system is the same as utterly destroying your own solvency.

Sounds like someone separated his brain from his body to either sell to medical science, a university, or the army, and instead fucked it up.

Maybe legal, probably not. Its common in the US, and deeply fucked up.

I dont know the article, but looking for work generally helps me when im absolutely fucking done with a job.

Yes, its more work, but it makes all the “huge and terrible” problems of your main job seem smaller, isolated, even stupid. They matter less because you dont have to depend on that job anymore, so you actually do get better mentally.

Then, if the job search is good or the second job is enough, quit that first fucker and be totally done with all the stress.

City has 10 parallel car heavy paths to get from point A to B : normal, good, as it should be.

City has 9 parallel car heavy paths and 1 person/bike/transit path to get from point A to B : A travesty, doom for business, the unraveling of all civilization.

Check out mango. Its pleasant and has a really nice interface.

It was her grandma’s and it was rent controlled, so the rent was not allowed to go up since the 70s. She was illegally subletting it.

You’re a champion. I was just running down the link to post. Hit the “skip to highlight” button on the video to go right to it in motion.

Its a terrible bike, but still pretty neat.

They opened a though restaurant yesterday. At 4:20 pm.

Yeah, a tesla restaurant. That’s the current distraction.

Ohh shit, i didn’t even catch that was what you were asking about.

No, i have no freaking idea what lolita is doing there. The show has nothing like that going on.

That’s Mordecai from “Regular show.”

It’s a zany, but very human short form comedy sitcom that’s deeply self referential.

The only possible justifications are “to protect victims” and “to protect people from baseless accusations” if there really is no proof of anything.

The first can be done with retractions. The latter is the issue for MAGA, as trump and his boosters have been claiming for years that the files are full of vile, evil shit that is being hidden and that they would expose everyone. They claimed this for half a decade, and were saying the truth was about to come out just months ago. They claimed they put 10,000 FBI agents on the case to verify the files, and gave MAGA influencers a “part 1” dossier to splash around.

Suddenly, a few months later there is nothing to see, even as more and more leaks about Trump being a pedophile hit the news.

Now they are playing games about releasing “credible” reports (i.e nothing with Trump in them or any republicans) and releasing everything but the files.

Trump will pardon him.

He wont see prison time.

With those tears streaking down his eyes?

Of course.

This wasn’t a big company ceo. The company, Astronomer, has between 200-500 employees. That’s still in “we are a family” territory, but its a bit out of scope.

Your point seems to be that “all CEOs are thieves and liars, so dont trust anything, ever.” I think that’s more cynical internet puffery than an actual stance. No CEO, even at small companies, are looking out for your personal welfare, but there is a difference between someone who honestly accesses your business value and a lying liar that lies while they lie.

Learning your CEO is explicitly the latter is useful and actionable info.

Tech bros and corpo sales drones trying to throw a “hip” pizza party where people can see them get out of their beemers and where they can pretend to have hobbies and souls by being “fun.”

Or

Cookie cutter, middle class grind culture mating grounds where people dress up to get drunk overpaying for booze while they fail to hit a golf ball and post about how zany they are on the gram’

Or

Said better than all the above

Agreed. The media is the message. I watched most of the video and it was fascinating in a way an article would not be, largely because the video isn’t just a description of a piece of art, but rather a piece of art on its own.

An article could still be interesting and maybe excellent, but it’s an oddly entitled thing to demand that someone offering you art go find a different type of art you like better.

Duh, people can fuck whoever they want. As usual, there may be consequences.

What I dont want is to work for a liar that’s breaking contracts and fucking people over. Once you find out that’s happening, you need to realize that it’s probally not isolated behaviour.

If they are willing to do this to their wife, someone who can actually impact their life, they will probably not think twice about fucking you over, someone who cant impact them at all.

Let me put it more succinctly: if the king is willing to behead his wife, hes not going to be concerned about your head staying attached either.
