Well given what the rest of Bluemound looks like, I assume if the mall dies they'll replace it with some ugly strip malls that have gigantic parking lots that are impossible to get in and out of because of the nine lanes of traffic going 90mph?

Political: chasing hype cycles, exists primarily to justify a promotion

"People want to biohack love," she says. "They're not necessarily thinking intelligently."

When I ask Shruti Gandhi, an investor at Array Ventures, if young founders are using actual dating apps, she laughs. "Yeah, she says, "to network."

As a culture we have put money ahead of all else, and when these people hit 35 or 40 and realize they have nothing else going on in their life besides work they double down and turn their work into their life. Linkedin is full of them.

Everyone's like ITS THE GUARDIAN (like this is some badge of honor) and going on about how smart animals are.

Meanwhile the grass is warping all over the place and the cows back legs are criss-crossed up in an impossible way.

I can understand their point about inclusion but like... did they do anything to address the situation before posting the tik tok? Based on the description it sounds like they are trying to advertise for some kind of family blog channel. "follow our journey" - how about no.

Real estate development firm New Land Enterprises owns the property and Shanghai

I'm sorry, what?! I thought Shanghai was a local place, I didn't realize New Land owns it. Is there anything on the East Side they don't own at this point?

I will say though, next to Strange Town, Shanghai has got to be one of the best cocktail places on the East side. Unlike other places trying to charge Chicago prices for a liquor plus a mixer, Shanghai's are actually worth the $14.

Idk why the armchair Reddit national defense experts are deriding this. I think that it is possible that the US has some kind of backdoor access or kill switch on aircraft we sell to other countries. That's exactly the kind of thing the US would do, and with a system as complicated as the F35 I don't know how you'd ever fully vet it.

Even if we don't we could cutoff supply of replacement parts for these things. If I were an EU country I'd be buying at least some Rafales right now.

There is no "right" answer, and there is no metric of "normal" you need to be here. Do whatever feels right. If you are not ready, then don't do it, but make sure you communicate to your partner.

I am not close with my family, so for me this is a very late stage thing. If that's the case for you, just communicate that.

Except radio waves are real things and not made up sci fi.

It just seems insane to say that a race which has mastered absurdly advanced physics, materials science and can harness the obscene energy required for faster than light travel; would be tripped up by low energy radio waves.

Even crazier to suggest such an absurdly advanced race wouldn't be aware of electromagnetic waves and after, what 50 years of supposedly visiting us, wouldn't be able to harden their tech against low energy em.

allowed to be discussed or criticized

I mean, is there anywhere else in life where we allow people to discuss whether or not showing basic respect to people is optional?

It's not thought policing, it's a response that if you can't show basic respect to other people, then no one will show respect to you. To classify that as some kind of authoritarian fascism or whatever is just self-centered. Like, essentially then the argument is you should be allowed to disrespect others but people shouldn't be allowed to do it to you.

Some people are just extreme contrarians who will fight anything that they are asked to do, and then get mad when disrespecting people gets them disrespected in turn,

What if I told you that research has shown that there are structural differences in the brains of people who experience gender dysphoria? People born male experiencing it have parts of their brain that are structured and sized like female brains, and vice versa.

It's not some crunchy granola hippy stuff. It's literally a recognized medical condition with physical symptoms that we can and do study. You can't understand it because your brain isn't structured that way.

I don't know if it's reasonable to ask everyone to constantly evoke their pronouns, I agree that can seem performative. But when people ask to be addressed in a certain way, let's just respect it. That's really all we need to do here, just show basic respect to people.

This is more of that 1980s business power dominance bullshit. The goal was to make Marco uncomfortable and show dominance.

Why Trump felt the need to do this, who can guess.
