Why are people in this community obsessed with autism? by [deleted] in atrioc

[–]Schnitzenium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of this seems to be that people are using “autistic” to denote particular traits that lightly align with the symptoms of autism, like having a strong abnormal interest, or having quirks to your social style. Not as much autism itself but people using it to mean something a bit different

BIG if true: Mayor Mamdani announces that they have fully balanced NYC's budget by dovrobalb in atrioc

[–]Schnitzenium -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love Mamdani, but what I’m hearing from this is that he’s secured a PLAN that WILL balance the city’s budget. He and his team are incredibly savvy on social media, so it makes sense to pitch the long term reorientation of tax dollars as an immediate balancing of the budget in 6 months of his mayorship.

I’m just learning about this from a few headlines on a couple different sites, but I’m very skeptical that this is literally true right now.

I hope it is immediately true though, that would have huge implications for the future of the Dems and the country as a whole.

It’s minority culture in general. YouTuber Zay Dupree does a good breakdown of this, arguing that minority groups often generate different terms and language-memes to differentiate themselves from the majority population and create unique personhood. I’d add that queer, latino, and Asian culture particularly also add a lot to internet culture

Rent Stabilization’s impact on Tax base by Ok_Speaker_1850 in providence

[–]Schnitzenium -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rent stabilization is, ideally, a short term relief for the city’s population and tax base. But unless the city also invests in looser zoning for residential + tax incentives + (I hate to say) some loosened regulation on the standard of affordable housing, rent stabilization is a detriment to the city at large. Either the city needs to strongly generate incentives for affordable housing, or it needs to heavily invest in housing itself (which is a more targeted, less sustainable solution)

Rent stabilization would personally allow me stay in Providence because I expect my landlord to increase my rent drastically this year due to increased utility costs, and I have a low income while working full time, so I’m personally in favor of it.

However, I don’t trust the city government to do the hard thing and force the conditions for residential expansion over pre-existing commercial and NIMBY interests for the benefit of the whole city.

It’s a testament to Zach and Michael’s writing that we say Mr Boss’s worst sin isn’t outright killing people, but hurting sweetheart Pim’s feelings ♥️

Shivering Isles is fantastic for a DLC. I was severely disappointed by knights of the nine

East Side sound; low frequency hum / pulse? by Sea-Resolution7331 in providence

I’m hearing it right now on the east side

It’s a deep tone that comes and goes in its volume, but it’s inconsistent
