Google and Facebook do 2 rounds of interviews.

Remember that when anyone requires you to do 3+ rounds.

That was the surprise to me. I visited a couple times but outside of the novelty, I couldn't see a reason to ever visit one.

Ironically, the MTA needs more middle management.

One of the top drivers of the cost overruns is they constantly hire expensive "consultants" to do everything at twice the cost of a normal 9-5 city worker.

It's both a crime to burn your neighbor's American flag and your neighbor's pride flag. Both are illiegal arson.

If you were to legally purchase a pride flag or an American flag and burn it yourself that would be legal in both instances.

Our Mayor may be a joke but I really like Erik Bottcher. What a good leader he is.

The billionaires absolutely think capitalism should be risk free (for them).

Even from this, the absolute best angle, it still kinda sucks.

I wish the $10 million spent on this would have gone to getting people to actually sit down and read MLK's letter from a Birmingham jail.

Here's a cheat code for bullshit - just match up two mysteries and imply/state they are related

Examples:

• gut biome is a mystery & autism is a mystery therefore autism is caused by the gut biome!
• microplastics are a mystery & gut biome is a mystery therefore microplastics but impact gut biome
• quantum particles are a mystery & consciousness is a mystery therefore consciousness must be a quantum effect
• quantum particles are a mystery and autism is a mystery therefore autism is caused by quantum entanglement

Didn't AOC bail them out? Gave them our tax money?

Life expectancy is highly dependent on the state you live in. If you live in a Republican state the prognosis is not good. If you live in Kentucky or Alabama your life expectancy (75) is the same as someone in Belarus, Jamaica, or occupied Palestine. If you live in blue state New York, California, or Hawaii your life expectancy (81.5) is similar to Denmark and Germany.

A very modern dialogue

"Why did nobody think of this! everyone is so stupid!!!"

Actually they did think about it and made the trade off to increase the cost of the project to not disturb street life

"Oh sure yeah that makes sense IDIOTS 🙄🙄🙄"

Remember when Vice was good?

Now they're desperately trying to sell themselves at 1/6th their peak valuation.

Egypt 5,000 years ago. Egypt became one of humanity's first great powers through taxation, budgeting, and bureaucracy.

Drone delivery has been 1 year away for the last 10 years.

Truly amazing that long Islanders saw this man as the right person to represent them.

It's to keep out the homeless.

This is such a disaster. I think Zeldin would have won if he just pledged to delete this failed regulation and simply legalize cannabis.

The whole thing is just a massive example of how the Cuomo machine was completely broken and failing new yorkers.

Did the article say 2 different men died from the same type of assault at the same bar? And many others report the same crime happening to them as well?

How hard is it to catch murderers when you know exactly where they're going to be and more or less exactly when they'll be commiting the next crime?

The 2018 tax law included the following provision:

"Landlords can elect to write off repairs, maintenance, and improvements if the total of these expenditures does not exceed the lesser of 2% of the unadjusted basis of the property or $10,000 during a given year."

The Trump tax scam makes home maintenance a deductible expense for businesses but not for homeowners. Corporate landlords literally have the playing field tilted for them and against you.

Go away, Cuomo.

I must confess to being rather insulted that I had to listen to 2 years of people gaslighting us that subway crime was all in our heads only for them to belatedly ineffectually spend millions on a "surge" in a panic.

Bruh, they're just awkwardly standing around while 1 security guard is stopping them all.

Is there any way Nvidia doesn't have to do a massive recall? Seems like a house fire and massive lawsuit just waiting to happen.

Taking long walks or bike rides through NYC is one of life's simple pleasures that absolutely never gets old. 🙂
