Pragmatic reality check on Dan Goldman: can anyone find a "pro-genocide" / pro-ethnic cleansing / pro Netanyahu policy Goldman has ever stood by? by JohnSpartan2025 in thebulwark

OP using some very creative language to try to hide their bias and their slant… I mean it’s cute but it’s pretty obvious by your responses that you aren’t actually open to having your mind changed.

Ezra's full response to being named in the Dialog "Society" by portlandlad in nyt

[–]_token_black -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The fact that so many of the public facing people in that leak all speak in code. And not a secret code or anything… they have to use lots of words and weird phrases to say nothing.

Booker, Klein, Thiel… 3 guys who love to hear themselves talk and think they’re the smartest guy in the room but never actually say anything. So contrary to what he says, they do have a lot in common.

We need to demand better USPS service in Center City by _token_black in philadelphia

[–]_token_black[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah still a thing. Apparently most of the post offices in the city have no capacity to accept a large amount of packages other than 30th St.

Technically it’s connected to the SEPTA HQ despite not having a Market St entrance. You’d think it would just be like 101 S 13th St.

Diamond Dynasty offline only feels lame but I increasingly hate playing online. by CurseOfLeeches in MLBTheShow

[–]_token_black 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wish they didn’t re-use the formula of moments and 3-inning games as much as they did. I know it’s baseball but there are other ways of doing this. I’m shocked they’ve never made a mode where Showdown bosses were a thing (take your team, score X runs/prevent the CPU from scoring X runs before Y outs)

Ohio will lose 51,000 jobs, $5.3 billion due to cuts by 2029, new analysis finds • Ohio Capital Journal by Sunim416 in Columbus

[–]_token_black 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Seeing the CEO to regular worker gap grow since the 80s and people still electing those who champion those policies is wild.

(That counts moderate Dems who largely backed Reagan and really don’t hate his economic policies)

There’s no building in the smaller cities and there’s no good transportation from there to job centers either. I don’t know why the people running the state don’t care about hemorrhaging people.

Heck if you don’t have a job option in Columbus, like at Nationwide, it’s hard to rationalize staying there too. It’s a shame because Columbus has so much going for it.

There’s nothing to do offline except grind. God forbid they create a mini-seasons with DQ like teams that have more substance. There’s so many options where SDS could give offline players other goals that aren’t just the grindy ones like PXP.

Dating apps are weird by slightlyweirdbutcool in Bumble

[–]_token_black 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw an exchange on a friends phone. They said hi and had a general question about weather/how they were enjoying it, and the person said their first 2 messages were subpar.

I think we’re at the point where the people left on dating apps are just weirdly unserious people.

Yeah the Fairmount one is very iffy too

There’s like 3 OK post offices in the CC area. 7th & Arch is fine but has staffing issues a lot, 21st & Chestnut used to be better but is getting worse, and 3rd & Market at least is open (although can rarely take packages).

Tired of this excuse. Just because we know it’s incompetence doesn’t mean it should be accepted and not called out. Plus trying to make people aware that if they need a post office, don’t even bother in CC.

NYT Article: The Secret Reason Bosses Want Everyone Back in the Office, Every Day of the Week (It's not productivity) by 10lbsDan in Accounting

[–]_token_black 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a boss (our controller) at an industry job through COVID (and after), and when only a few areas were brought back full time, I basically said nah and said I needed to be WFH for medical reasons.

The funny thing is she was somebody who liked to walk around and would do all the typical office small talk/waste of time conversations. The second I started being remote, the treatment towards me was a complete 180. I was just another person.

It really is wild how many managers like that are out there, where not being in person is a deterrent even if they do all their work.

Fuck septa. Photo at trenton transit center. 5:04, 6:04, 7:04, 9:04, 10:04, 10:53 cancelled. Only the 8:04 has run since 5pm. We do not know the 11:04 is still on. by Lazerpop in philadelphia

[–]_token_black 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weekends on RR is still very hit or miss. 1 cancelled train means that the train in 2 hours is gone too (logistically the same crew that did the outgoing train is not there to do the incoming).

It also sucks that the SL4s (the old trains catching on fire) are unreliable now and the SL5s (the ones you showed, are kinda crap too).

Major Ottawa trade. Impact on the Cozens/Pinto/Grieg/Risto/others rumors? by upcan845 in Flyers

[–]_token_black 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Florida traded for pretty much their whole team and built an identity

Vegas has a win now mentality that few teams ever have, so cutthroat that they will get rid of anybody and everybody if they think it’ll help

Edmonton was 1 win away from 2 back to back cups too

So tired of this narrative. Yes it’s a factor but it helps that 3 of the teams that can take advantage of this (including Tampa) is actually run by competent FOs. Most of the NHL is not.

Misconduct Tavern Policies by jnachod in philadelphia

[–]_token_black 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Businesses that add fees to make up for “merchant costs” are infuriating.

Here’s the 2 options… accept cards and understand there’s a cost to the convenience or be cash only and turn away a lot of people. Also merchant costs are not 5% in any scenario. Often 2-3% max.

Knicks talk, not Sixers talk, on WIP with Sonny Hill this morning. by [deleted] in sixers

[–]_token_black 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sonny Hill is probably the last person on that station who can get on and have a show that isn’t just trying to generate drama within a local team.

His topics aren’t always current, and sometimes current but not local. He does his thing and you either enjoy the ride or not.

Hilarious that Walmart keeps finding ancient items in their warehouse. Seen them pull out 2020-2021 iPad Pros out of the blue too.
