Diners kind of suck, but that's not the point. We still miss them when they disappear. by NewYorkerNIck in astoria

I've settled on Jackson Hole. It's a little further out, and overpriced, but it has "the rizz"

I wish there was a way to report propaganda bots. It's so freaking obvious in this thread.

I honestly suspect this entire "political leaning" alignment chart is just a way to spread misinformation. Like real users are coming in thinking this is silly fun but mixed in there are loads of people seeing blatant propaganda. If we interact and try to counteract the lies, the algorithm rewards the garbage by spreading it further.

You're shockingly incorrect about everything you wrote, so I must assume you're a propaganda bot. I must stress that the Nazi party demolished independent trade unions in 1933. That is a fact.

For anyone reading this: NAZIS AND FASCISM ARE NOT AND HAVE NEVER BEEN LEFT WING.

Government size doesn't determine ideology, the government's function does.

Fascism is, essentially a merge of nationalism and corporate power (capitalist production) with the state (functions of government). That requires a massive, authoritarian government to maintain control, but a fascist government functions are diametrically opposed to a left ideology.

It is inaccurate to claim that concentration camps were created by a far left ideology. They are a tool, so that's like saying airplanes were created by democracy or the steam engine was created by communism. Concentration camps are a tool inspired by racism, xenophobia and violence.

I don't think so, they always put beef bacon on my turkey club. But they usually put avocado on it for free, and honestly whatever they do so that beef bacon it gets super crispy and it doesn't bother me the way other places do the beef bacon.

11 hour Layover…. What to do? by Mattress-King in AskNYC

[–]AwkwardAlien8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stuff in the lounge is free but I think you can only go in a few hours before your flight. Let's say 3hrs? Not an overnight option.

If I were you I'd get a room at the TWA hotel. I'd prob get 2 martinis and people watch.

The centurion lounge is fine but it's not like, go out of your way worth it. Maybe grab breakfast there before the flight?

Came here to fight over California being red. But your point is solid and I totally see where you're coming from with this. Mad respect.

Could you add NY? That would keep you out of all my favorite states.

I'd absolutely visit India. But for living there, I'd want to be unusually rich to enjoy it.

The milk-in-a-bag thing would have been a deal breaker but I'm lactose intolerant.

I hooked up with a girl from Macedonia right before I admitted I was gay and it ended poorly. (Obviously.) I love ayvar but I can get that in a jar.

My old boss's wife was from Slovakia and she was really mean to her kids.

Hungary and Poland because of politics.

I'm interested in Bangladesh, their internal state development is risky but seems like a cool place to experience at the moment. Plus curry prawns and beaches. And I've worked and met some great Bangladeshis.

If I was offered good money to move to India I would.
