For what it's worth, this happened at a playground in Bay Ridge once and one of the Italian-descended Dads took the phone, smashed it, punched the guy in the face, and physically threw him out of the playground. Oddly enough, nobody saw nothin.

The STEM "shortage" is they don't want to hire recent grads and they also don't want to hire anyone over 40. What they actually mean is there aren't enough Software 2s or 3s or their equivalents available.

They want engineers they don't have to train but also don't have to pay The primary problem with over-40 STEM people is that they're all white and Asian men, because that's the only people who went to school for CompSci in the 90s and 00s, and hiring managers are tasked with specifically ignoring those people.

It is exceedingly more likely that your hiring managers are hiding talent from you. A secondary problem with Silicon Valley is there is a non-trivial number of experienced American engineers who are not moving their family to San Francisco.

You can make an H1B move to SF. You can't make a dad with 3 kids in school.

Of all the many reasons I want Trump to win, one of top ten is that I want the US's 250th birthday in 2026 to be over the top Trump bonkers with like gold plated tanks and 50 state flyovers. I want Europeans to look at it and say "Jaysus, calm down you jingoistic Yanks" but secretly seethe at the awesomeness of the spectacle.

Let's talk about this lil' guy. This is Prop 1 on the New York ballot this year. Democrats are attempting to define as, and only as, a measure to protect abortion in New York.

ballotpedia.org/New_York_Propo… This is the current text of the New York's equal protection Clause:

"No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state or any subdivision thereof. No person shall, because of race, color, creed or religion, be subjected to any discrimination in his or

My man "Karim" out here just running a primer on how to destroy towns while leeching federal dollars. Image The most frustrating thing about this Twitter feed is it's probably entirely true and almost definitely works if you literally do not remotely care about being a multi-state slumlord.

America cannot build enough housing for the current situation. The only housing solution is to deport everyone who isn't supposed to be here and brutally crack down on crime that makes places uninhabitable. The former gets you a million housing units per year at best. The latter gets you tens of millions of housing units per year.

Hardcore pro-lifers really need to wrap their heads around the fact that they have to spend like 30 years changing hearts and minds before they can just assert their will on people. Like, you're really trying to skip a bunch of steps here guys.

In the original, Snow White just cleans the house and cooks a meal.

In 2024, we can't have that, so she just makes the dwarves clean after they already spent a day in the mines. The apple is in this trailer but I cannot imagine any context in which they allow the prince to kiss her without consent or rescue her in any way, so I will be surprised if she even ends up under the sleep spell.

OK, but who? Who is this exciting person? If they somehow convince 2000 delegates to turn on Biden, all he really has to do is threaten to hold the issue in court until state ballot access deadlines start to pass.

Been touring the burnt out husks of Western New York Cities for the last few days. I heard we get tribunals and camps soon? Guys can we send the tribunals to Niagara Falls. I think it'd be a cute little town without the huge violent crime rate.

The land border is 1200 miles long.

Men every half mile is 2400 men.

There are 19,000 men in the Texas National Guard. We pretend this problem is hard, but it isn't. Especially with drones.

Albany, NY also tried this model where they placed a government-supported grocery store in a "food desert" and it lasted less than two years before it collapsed into debt and corruption then just closed.
Image As it turned out, "the community" didn't actually care about having fresh food available locally. They preferred the McDonald's that was there previously. But McDonald's didn't want to be there anymore.

Multicultural spaces, like America, cannot have public services like this because there is not a universal cultural expectation to keep them clean and nice.

Switzerland could have them. We could not. "We should have nice public laundromats" and "You can't stop the homeless guys from jerking off in the library" are the same people.

What I'm learning over the last 48 hours is that people really believe that ingrained cultural values just happen.

Which is why most of them can't grasp why "ocean plastic only comes from 8 rivers." This shouldn't be surprising, as we've watched atheists free-ride in Christian culture without understanding why the entire thing collapses in an atheist culture.

Women do not understand how often they're approached, an ongoing series. RN Atheist will say shit talk about "transactions" while cynically ignoring the woman in question is essentially asking for free protection from the OP.

But that's just his "responsibility." She has none.

This past weekend, 3 eggs, home fries, and sausage cost me $14.79 at a diner.

Nobody's wages have not gone up enough to counter that a $6 meal now costs $15. I am also very curious how often the "huge vacation season" predictions that happen every time there's a Democratic president in office actually reflect reality.

My brother in law lives in something that looks like this just outside of Dallas. Just this for like 5 square miles. Centrally planned and recently built. And I cannot for the life of me understand why they didn't sprinkle some bars, restaurants, and small grocery stores in it. For all the well-deserved mockery that bodega discourse receives, a bodega every few blocks would be a massive quality of life improvement.

You could, for instance, get a half gallon of milk without it being a 40 minute round trip. Or have a couple beers and not drive home.

I agree. Just say it. You have to state the problem openly in order to begin solving it. Nobody except European governments view government as public good. They view it as personal enrichment service for friends.

When you begin handing your governments over to those same people, your government starts looking like where those people came from.

Very few people are going to win a 1v1 with Jon Stewart in a format like this but the answer is "children should not be exposed to sexual deviancy, that should be obvious, and I don't find it necessary to elaborate further." "It's a comedy show."
"Children can't put comedy in context. Because they're children. For the same reason you wouldn't show them horror movies."
"Shouldn't that be a parent decision?"
"We already decided some decisions need be taken out of parents' hands. That's why CPS exists."
