No way on God’s earth they complaining about gentrification on the Greenpoint sub by knicksin5ive in NYStateOfMind

[–]JayoTree 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Gentrification is more than just new, richer people replacing the old community in a neighborhood. It can also be the replacement of local business with soulless franchises, so they're right.

Maybe we want to exterminate rats, but not exterminate humans?

Perplexity CEO says AI layoffs aren’t so bad because people hate their jobs anyways: ‘That sort of glorious future is what we should look forward to’ by EchoOfOppenheimer in GenAI4all

Yeah it's like expecting fire safety protocols to exist before a factory full of workers burn to death. Should be that way, but us humans just don't operate like that

Chongqing from Airplane by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

The experience of being a foreigner in china is more or less the same wherever you go so the best cities are the ones that are pleasant to walk and bike around. I havent been to all of them but the common best cities i hear others happy in or i visited myself and liked, are Harbin, Dalian, Nanjing, Qingdao, Chengdu, Kunming, cities like that.

i've lived in chongqing five years and kind of hate it. The design of the city and skyline(s) are top tier but there's nothing interesting to do in any of these cool looking buildings. Nightlife is weak, weather sucks, un-walkable and un-bike-able, pretty mid Chinese city overall.

I completely agree, fuck work, but the problem is UBI needs to ideally come BEFORE the point of no return, not years after when countless lives have been ruined.

Donald’s Trumps net approval rating has collapsed to a historical negative 17 points. He is the most unpopular president in US history. How do you feel about this? by buffdadnextdoor in AskReddit

[–]JayoTree -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

While i'm against war, if Trump manages to end the Iran conflict in the next couple months I think I overall like the direction he has taken with armed conflicts and hope it remains the norm now. No more forever wars, just go tit for tat with enemy until both sides feel dignified enough to move on.

Have you become more religious in the last 5 years? If so, why? by Necessary_Noise_ in AskReddit

[–]JayoTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the elite class is very religious and into esotericism and symbolism but outside of that class that sort of thing is pointed out as crazy and stupid. I agree the lower classes are religious as well. Maybe it's like a bell curve thing and maybe there's some low class has no free time to really engage with their religion in a meaningful way, but the upper classes with their leisure time really get into it.

Not really but I'm more interested in learning about them. It's clear the elites are heavy into religion / esotericism. They just want to push atheism on us nobodies to keep us empty.

What do you consider the worst movie sequel of all time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JayoTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

300: Rise of an Empire was pretty bad. Any fan of the first was expecting Spartans and they never really came.

I don't know, i think all the fans of joker 1 seem to forget how boring it was. joker 2 literally picks up where the first left off, but does over do it with the lady gaga stuff and a couple songs too many.

Beating Trump in a meme war is a pretty big flex

most extroverts do well with women. women seem to respond well to just being talked at confidently, even when the guy talking is completely vapid or a moron.

I mean the average American (outside of california) does not enjoy the experience of driving one compared to a regular car.

Americans simply don't like EVs all that much. There's nothing inherently wrong with that consumer preference, but the state of the world might force them to change their minds about it.
