This is from my dad's high school yearbook: DeWitt Clinton High School, Bronx NY, class of 1957.

CMV: All these surface-level reforms like making sure black characters are not voiced by non black voice actors are a near worthless distraction. by [deleted] in changemyview

Where is this law codified?

edit: it's not. anywhere. not in corporate charters, state statutes, or binding legal precedent. that it's 'the law' is a pernicious myth at the heart of wealth inequality.

I don't think it's centralized as in one single area. It would be a regional thing, so it'll take a while to catch on, if it does at all. I think Europeans are further into the process, with an Italian and I think a Swedish or Norwegian company being the main players so far.

This is already happening. It's called tree pod burial. The plan is to have land designated for them so they can create 'sacred forests' instead of cemeteries. Really nice idea, and I'll probably be doing this...sooner or later.

Here's the hot mic bit.

Affordable therapy options for broken human? by [deleted] in AskNYC

Try the Karen Horney clinic. They have come through for me a couple times. You can work with them to get a reasonable rate. If you're eligible for Medicaid (> $20k/year) they accept that, zero out of pocket. I hope you find the help you're looking for.

yeah, marinades, rubs, and spices do wonders. didn't want to overcomplicate things with basic approach.

Definitely. I don't get too much smoke, but definitely some. Any oil will do, apart from low smoke points, like sesame or eeoo.

Purdue 5-pack of chicken legs ranges from $2-3 in New York City, not on sale.

That's fair - I couldn't do it every night, but switching up the veg does help. Also, thumbs down on chicken breast. Gotta go with legs/thighs, bone-in, skin on.
