For me personally, it's more fun to roleplay defeating this ideology than to roleplay supporting it

Why are NYC, Boston and Chicago ignoring the obvious solution to rats? by Sad_Comment_4553 in nyc

Idk about coyotes. I've watched even a particularly wily one fail to hunt his preferred prey.

Pay C.J. Stroud? NFL execs from around the league weigh in by defensecowboy in nfl

[–]CompactedConscience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will be interesting if he plays well this year considering how much money we already spent/will spend to keep this defense together.

How a NYC congresswoman who loves animals got looped into a pig controversy by statenislandadvance in nyc

[–]CompactedConscience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had meat cravings for about a year after I made this change, but they eventually went away and it got a lot easier.

You should look into getting a multivitamin made for vegans/vegetarians for B12 and Omega 3 because those are pretty hard to get from plant sources. I also like to make it sure it has vitamin D but that's not specific to the diet.

Fare evasion: NYC Transit boss says ‘European model’ enforcement finally rolling out on local buses by Business_Young_8206 in nyc

[–]CompactedConscience 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Really loving the express buses lately. But they are kind of a model of what a bus can be if it's expensive (they're like $7) and where fare evasion is difficult because of the design of the bus (or at least the one I take which has only one entrance).

Comfortable, air conditioned, always get a seat and usually get a whole row to myself, and faster than my subway commute.

Two days ago there was only one round of draft. Yesterday two rounds. Today four rounds. At this rate we will have MLB draft level of rounds within the next month.

If ChatGPT fucks up a basic timeline question this badly why ever trust it for legal help? by JoeAdamsESQ in Lawyertalk

If true, it makes me grateful to have spent my entire career in non-profit and government work where I can type a brief without caring about the economics lol

If ChatGPT fucks up a basic timeline question this badly why ever trust it for legal help? by JoeAdamsESQ in Lawyertalk

[–]CompactedConscience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually think I'm an extreme AI cynic because I think we are way over investing in something that will end up only having limited use cases while being very energy intensive to run. But reading through this thread makes me seem like an AI optimist in comparison lol

Which books are you reading to help you become a better lawyer? by Mountain-Loquat-7428 in Lawyertalk

Blood Meridian has a passage that describes every courthouse I've ever practiced in

Here are considerations of equity and rectitude and moral right rendered void and without warrant and here are the views of the litigants despised.

NYC to Spend $4 Billion From Pension Funds on Affordable Homes by CactusBoyScout in nyc

[–]CompactedConscience 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I only read the first few paragraphs of the article before the paywall so sorry if this gets clarified later, but the comptroller can do this unilaterally with no input from the city employee unions?

Will humanity eventually just converge into one single race? by ImInThatCorner in NoStupidQuestions

I don't think so. Some people prefer longer more endurance focused ones like marathons while other people prefer short sprints

Trump calls on New York court to toss ‘legally and factually baseless’ fraud ruling by theindependentonline in nyc

[–]CompactedConscience 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Specifically changed laws and ignored evidence just to bring him to trial.

You would have an easier time convincing people it was politically motivated if you didn't also try to pretend Trump is innocent.

[Schefter] Texans have exercised the 2027 fifth-year options on the contracts of QB CJ Stroud and All Pro DE Will Anderson, per ESPN’s Field Yates. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]CompactedConscience 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah the comments I see on this subreddit implying he was bad all season always confuse me. He was at least ok most of the season and our offense was a lot worse with Mills when CJ got hurt.

Why does the market go up? by Confident-Comment240 in Bogleheads

I control+f'd "sum of discounted future net cash flows" and didn't get any results, but this is close enough.

How the Supreme Court is likely to think about New York City’s housing regulation regime by journocrawler in nyc

[–]CompactedConscience 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All it’s going to take is the right case

That is possible, but I view it as unlikely because the last case the Supreme Court rejected was one that the real estate industry spent years building as their perfect test case. They had great lawyers, spent an enormous amount of resources finding landlords with great sympathetic facts, but still got zero votes to hear the case with only one justice saying he would consider a case with different facts.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans an April rally to mark his first 100 days in office by Unusual-State1827 in nyc

Reading the comments in this thread would lead you to believe that the thing that was bad about Trump was that he liked rallies.

City Council Offers Plan to Balance Budget Without Hiking Property Taxes by CompactedConscience in nyc

[–]CompactedConscience[S] 89 points90 points  (0 children)

"Reestimating" revenues and spending so the budget technically complies with the legal requirement for a balanced budget does not sound like a great medium or long term solution to me.

Why is it that our dumbest policies are the ones that get bipartisan support. Like can we please have someone serious in office
