Pretty sure the language was born from the old 4chan adjacent internet streamer "ShoeOnHead." Qanon and Proudboys just took it from her.

Why are we importing teachers from the DR for bilingual education? Are there really so few ESL teachers who speak Spanish in NYC that we have to fly them in from a foreign country?

I'm not on public transit because of a personal decision I made. I'm on oublic transit because of the cumulative decisions made by the people who created the American system of capitalism and wage slavery (in theory). Don't get mad at the pawns.

Do you wanna pay my rent if I don't show up for work?

Why the fuck is the department of Homeland security policing homeless shelters? Are they a hotbed of radicalization or something?

Looks like foie is back on the menu, boys!

I'm a born and raised New Yorker- grew up in the Bronx and visited Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens pretty early on in my life.

It took me 27 years to first step foot on Staten Island.

Wave Hill is like a 30-45 minute walk from the westchester border so that makes perfect sense.

I'll be sure to relay to the virus that you're disappointed it didn't happen according to your timetable.

The cultural institution that is... Times Square?

I wish the city was getting stranger! The homogenization is the opposite of strangeness.

Unfortunately a big chunk of the city's taxes come from either taxes on commercial real estate or from businesses that basically exist solely to serve 9-5 office workers.

Short of singlehandedly changing the economy of the city in a 4 year term, I don't know what you expect from Adams. I work from home and would love to continue doing so in perpetuity but the house of cards that is our city has been built with the assumption that people will be in offices.

Build a thunderdome on an island and drop them in there and let them fight it out

As a New Yorker I've sat in lots of bodily fluids on public transit seats. You think tears are gonna deter me?

How fucking complicated can a bag be? There's one hole in the top and you put your shit in it and carry it around via the handle.

There are so many good shows these days but few of them have more than like 12 episodes per season. You don't have to binge the show: 1 hour a day for about two weeks seems reasonable to me, but even if time was limited you could double up instead of binging and be done in a week; assuming, of course, you enjoy the show.

Iirc there's a strong coffeehouse tradition in Islamic culture but the whole "mixing liquids to create new drinks" isn't a major part of it.

As long as you're not using bacon grease in your cocktails what cultural issues could you run into?

Iirc this does brisk business in Mormon towns and I wonder if this business model could be exported to those Islamic cities with more money than sense like Doha or Abu Dhabi

It's really not that hard. I find myself in arguments on this topic pretty often and the information is easily available from the city or DoE.

My point is that Bronx Science, by and large, didn't have better or even more services than the average NYC high school. In many cases, we had fewer.

I mean, as a Bronx Sci alum, I actually think the environment of that school was better for my mental health than my local zoned public school. Unless you were in the school's underground Korean fight club or being raped by our pederast debate coach, you didn't have to worry about any kind of physical harm coming to you at that school which is more than can be said for most high schools in the city.

If you're a Bronx sci alum, I wouldn't be using it as a good example of a school providing mental health services. There were like four suicides in one year when I went there.

At that point shouldn't you be comparing a suite to an airbnb?

NBA players are more like contractors than employees. Let's say you're the best damn plumber in town, but you're also a virulent antisemite. There are some people who'd bare it and listen to him rant about "the globalists" because they really need their pipes unclogged, and there are people who'd rather go with a second-rate plumber who's not a whackjob. People can choose not to support the antisemitic plumber just like they can choose to boycot the nets.
