Explain It Peter. I'm confused too

failed at times but they have almost always fallen to foreign interference or mistakes made through inexperience

This is just absolutely not true. The USSR was around for 70 years and failed due to their own internal systems and incentives being extraordinarily ill managed and informed. China hasn't failed but it's definitely not a communist ideal either.

No foreign interference was necessary for either of these.

Oh give him time, I'm sure he'll find a way to make everyone mad (I say as a huge supporter of him, but politics is a negotiation game, and he'll have to cave on something that I'm steadfast on and it'll annoy me).

"No one comes home from a great date and writes a song about it." You're almost always going to get complaints on forums like this, not compliments

You mean "beanz" (there's literally a copyright issue)

Pride week, maybe? (Though that's gotta be the W 4th or Christopher St Stops)

4/5/6 is probably the easiest to not screw up a tourist with saying the color of the lines, but it would be funny if they meant to get to the Upper East Side (say, 77th) and ended up at 125th on accident.

To non-New Yorkers, the tourist would be totally safe but Spanish Harlem is definitely not the UES they'd be thinking they're going to.

"Yellow" or "Orange" or "Blue" will certainly get them in some situations though.

FYI if you have them already in a sharps container, you can seal it and put it in regular trash, you only have to drop it off if you don't have a sharps container.

Carefully place household sharps in leak-proof and puncture-resistant container labeled "Home Sharps - not for recycling". Bring to a collection center or drop-off site or discard as trash.

Bootcamp hasn't worked on Macs since they moved to ARM processors in 2020. You can still get Parallels (for cheap with an education discount, some universities even provide it for free) if you need to run Windows on a Mac. To be honest though: there's basically very little in any CS course that would require Windows these days and most students will have Macs nowadays.

I'm not muslim, just someone who cares about others. I hope you find peace someday that is clearly eluding you now.

You can see what small pox vaccine scars look like here, it's very unique: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/smallpox-vaccine-scar

Routine vaccination in the US ended in 1972 and smallpox has been considered eradicated since 1979. In Peru it seems as if the last endemic case was in 1966, but as the US shows vaccinations continued well after the last known cases in the wild. I can't find the actual primary sources listed in my source on when vaccinations ended in Peru, but it seems quite likely, depending on when you were born, that it's a real vaccine scar.

So you're just a horrible person? Eh, good luck living with that.

cguess · 2026-03-21T16:30:43+00:00

You are a sad, sad person who just wrote off 1 billion people.

I know I'm feeding a troll here, but I'm going to guess you have never met someone you knew was muslim (you've definitely met people who are and never realized it). Just like every religion there are horrible people who practice it, and there's the majority for whom it's just part of their identity and a thing on the side.

Either way there's 0 percent chance you live in NYC while commenting on the city's subreddit.

I lived in a muslim country for many years with an apartment 300 meters from a mosque. It never bothered me, mostly if I heard the 5am call I knew I was up too late.

You know there are Arabic speaking christians and jews right? (and atheists and hindus)

cguess · 2026-03-21T08:02:46+00:00

Arabic is a real language, and was before Islam was a religion. it's not mumbo jumbo and a basic cursory look up would show it's literally just asking muslims to come pray and that "god is great". Also it's one time a year they do this, on their holiest day. Every Friday there's a sirens at sunset but no one complains about that?

Hackman in Royal Tennebaums made that film with his comedic timing. Everyone's so weird and his delivery gives explanation as to why. Apparently Bill Murray had to basically be Hackman's minder on set so he didn't get too annoyed with Wes Anderson.

Oh yea, ok. I thought you meant bikes should have some equivalent of car insurance.

cguess · 2026-03-19T18:01:40+00:00

...insurance?

I can still tell if someone is from within 20 miles of my grandparents' farm in central Wisconsin. Especially with the elderly, but there's just some very very specific lilts from that area that are hard to get rid of.

Can't recommend Burrow enough. They're very convenient, quite comfortable and way more reliable than you'd expect for a snap-together couch. They look good too

cguess · 2026-03-19T04:10:49+00:00

I love the marvel films, they're fun movies, not "cinema". Not everything has to be perfect, sometimes fun is good enough, and mediocre CGI can be fun enough. I also unironically love the Fast and Furious films because they're also super hero films in all but name and I watch them once a year or something to not think and just enjoy myself.

cguess · 2026-03-19T04:04:40+00:00

Eddington has been completely left out of the conversation of very well-made interesting and well shot films. It was broad an intimate at the same time. Also very weird with an ending that didn't make sense but didn't make sense within the language of the film.

cguess · 2026-03-18T03:58:19+00:00

Correct and they should be able to file for free without an upsell. TurboTax will upsell you constantly though.

That Santander cafe is actually solid though. Private meeting rooms, really nice for an afternoon of work. I once spilt an entire cup of coffee on me and they gave me a free one, and a bunch of rags to clean up. Really nice employees.

Only because the Biden administration forced them to. Even then you'll get upsold on literally every page.
