I believe Karate was the Dane Cook of martial arts

They got an ex-Mossad guy that comes in on Thursdays. Tuesdays he does a really rigorous spin class.

Reply to New York’s MTA Hates Transparency by psychothumbs

We literally blow hundreds of millions on nothing.

The budget grows and grows and for what? No extra service? No new lines? Oh wow! They’re deep cleaning 20 stations of the 472 in NYC! The first time in like 20 years or some shit?

“Guard rails to the tracks will cost seven hundred billion million quadrillion heptillion dollars because blahblahblah greased wheels and deals and “making things happen”

Sorry how much did the MTA charge in overtime hours?

How about that one official who billed for more OT hours than THERE ARE IN A FUCKING YEAR???

The leadership that siphons money from the people of NYC should be dragged through the streets.

Reply to LGA PSA (Especially for Tourists) - Make Sure the Cabbie Starts the Meter by siggyrambler

Happened to me

Except instead of charging me the flat 50, he said “oh fuck I forgot to start the meter, wanna just do like 30??”

I thought for awhile about how I could be getting scammed but, couldn’t come up with anything.

Turned out fine.

Reply to The O.C was TV drama at its best. by wastedpanda420

As someone from Orange County, I despised this show and could not escape it.

Eventually moved to Austin, and the “OMG YOURE FROM THE OC?!” Stopped being fun on like, day 2

Reply to comment by Usernamenotta in Lunar Gateway for Dummies? by Significant_Youth_73

And this sets the stage for Red Rising, a Sci-Fi series about a lot of things

However in this series, the moon becomes a transport and trade powerhouse. Eventually it makes more sense to send things to and from the moon, rather than earth, because energy. The moon rebels against earth, and the moon becomes the “hub of power” in the future (plus all of the helium-3 in the lunar soil)

Great book series

Reply to comment by the_bronx in NY lawmakers vote to raise their own salary by 29% by Unable-Ad3852

I’m just drawing a comparison between two systems of allowing someone to earn more money, and how they’re quiet juxtaposed

One, hot off the heels of a global pandemic of which NYC was the American epicenter, has to fight and plead for months to have 3% spit in their faces.

And the other system, which is supposed to be representative of the people, as you so eloquently pointed out, does not have its salary increases dictated by those same tax paying people.. they just govern themselves and approve unanimously.

Do you understand how drawing a comparison between two things works, right? You know that oranges can, in fact, be compared to apples?
