shirts and skins posted:I mean, he's not wrong about remote work. It loving sucks, and if I never have another Zoom happy hour again it'll be too soon. As someone who did an NYC commute for 5 years, the only motherfuckers who don’t hate that train ride are the rear end holes who are rich enough to avoid it. loving nobody likes working in person, least of all in an overcrowded, stinking, diseased metropolitan wasteland. Jerry Seinfeld is a loving unfunny moron who stumbled into success by latching onto a cast of comedic actors FAR more talented than he ever was. It takes a special kind of rear end hole to be the least funny and most successful person on your own show.

shirts and skins posted:Nice meltdown The idea that you prefer having a commute over not having a commute is alien to me. Nobody enjoys the subway, at all. Nobody likes the helpless displays of poverty, the stinking puddles of urine, the public masturbation in packed train cars, the mystery "juice" that drips from legit subway stalactites after the rain, the barely concealed hordes of rats, the constant delays and overcrowding, or the fact that it takes minimum 30 minutes to go 2 stops. It's a necessary evil, and few who miss ever had to do it regularly. Like, say what you want about the freedoms allotted by a coherent a public transportation system, but the trains themselves suck. If working out of the home sucks, that's a whole different problem. I'm talking about a very specific commute in a very specific part of America. And BTW the word "train" is commonly used to refer to the subway system in NYC.

sat on my keys! posted:it doesn't right now, the governor used covid as an excuse to not let people on trains from 1am to 5am in order to kick homeless people out of the system At a time of rising evictions, only a few months before the cold of November, this can't possibly backfire.

comedyblissoption posted:didnt the nyc system get defunded so much it's like at 1/4-1/5th funding per ridership compared to like the 80s and 90s lol Yeah, Cuomo is still gutting it. However, ripple effects from cuts to other programs affect it too. For example, the massive shortage of care for the homeless has forced many to sleep on the trains especially in the colder months. The city has a very weird climate of its own, and the tall buildings create canyons that carry the frozen wind howling through the February streets. It’s absolutely awful that people have to go through that, and it has this incredibly demoralizing effect on regular riders as well. Like, imagine you work for pennies every day in a 2 hour commute to the wealthiest city on Earth. Above the streets are towers of ivory and glass, housing unimaginable riches for the Bank of America or Comcast. These cathedrals of greed have a layer of unequalled ostentatiousness that truly defy any simple description. It would be one thing if they were covered in gold or precious gems. If famous works of art filled their lobbies, you could kind of understand why one would want all that money in the first place. But I used to pass a bunch of buildings in my commute every day with these giant marble lobbies, and the one thing that struck me was how loving empty they are. Like, midtown Manhattan must be the most expensive real estate on earth. The land itself must be worth millions. So to buy it all up and fill it with NOTHING is like burning money just to prove you have it. It’s spitting in the face of everyone who has less because you loving can. So to see that absurd display of waste and then walk 15 feet down a flight of stairs to see some of the most repressed people in the country is like driving a wedge splitter through your brain every loving day for 2 hours. And the worst part is the helplessness you feel. Everywhere there are people suffering, and you can’t even afford to toss them more than a few bucks every week because you can barely afford rent. So you say “sorry” and try to pretend they don’t exist, because every time you think about what real justice would look you find the idea too exciting and frightening for a workday when you have to march into the enemy’s office and smile while you get him some loving coffee. Because if you don’t, it might be your turn to start sleeping on the train. I’ll stop now. Venting feels good. Cpt_Obvious has issued a correction as of 15:22 on Aug 26, 2020 |

Pryor on Fire posted:Today the WSJ is just straight up arguing that testing young people for covid is a waste of resources so I don't even know anymore, it's like they are begging for the guillotine. The corrosive power of FYGM is shocking. Like, they realize that diseases are loving contagious, right? And if more OTHER people have it, it increases the chance that they will get it themselves? And therefore cutting care for others endangers themselves. If your maid or cook or driver or delivery person or one of the dozens of people that you come into indirect contact with every loving day gets covid, you'll get covid too.

PostNouveau posted:It's shocking "Bin Laden isn't dead" didn't become a huge conspiracy theory when we just dumped him in the ocean and didn't release any photos. When that happened, I thought it was going to be the next "grassy knoll" that we'd be hearing about for the rest of our lives. People genuinely wanted to believe that Bin Laden was dead, so they didn't question it.

comedyblissoption posted:tl;dr the nyt is trying to smear the intercept's mishandling of reality winner as due to anti-russiagate biases even though the people at the intercept responsible for the story were publicly russiagate true believers An important part of any conspiracy theory is the simplification of reality into a moral binary, an us vs them where 'we' are always right and 'they' are always wrong. So, if something lovely happens, it must be 'their' fault, even if 'they' are actually 'us'. See also: Qanon.

joepinetree posted:2 days ago the argument was that the emails and messages were fake. Now the argument is that the emails and messages are real, but that the meetings they discuss didn't actually happen. Assuming literally everything is fake, does it even loving matter? It's like if a dude goes out and buys a shotgun, buckshot, and a hunting permit in the middle of deer season. Do I need to see the dead animal to know he's gonna go hunt some deer with a shotgun? No. And if he comes back several hours later covered in dirt and leaves without any ammo left, I can assume that he at least tried to hunt deer even if he didn't succeed. At that point, the burden of proof rests on whoever claims he didn't fire his weapon AT ALL.
