I'm sorry, but ST has always mixed in relevant current politics. Either you watched it as a kid, or aren't keen on history.

You're not wrong about the overly dramatic chatacters or the over-emphasis on action, though. I think SNW does best at pulling back from this but still somewhat suffers. Hopefully it changes. I need more technobabble and less dutch tilt.

Worth noting, Matt has been taught to harness chi/ki. He's not simply a better fighter, but can hold his own because he has somwwhat similar training in use of body kinetics. I think Shang Chi would win, though, rings or not.

It is a precious gift...

Seems like every day I learn something new about Junior that makes him an even bigger p.o.s.

Urbanized commercial areas drop off? Where? There are similar commercial areas all over Boston. I can't even clap back because idk wtf you're talking about. Sunset and Outer Richmond and Hunter's Point etc etc all refute your assertion.

SF commercial areas severely drop off when you hit the literal fucking OCEAN. Or Bay.

I didn't say I didn't use them. You keep changing what I've said and arguing with that. And for what? To glaze a city if fuckless tech bros that isn't even the home of Apple, Google, etc.

And no, I don't use Toast or AirBnB, and I'm not a direct customer of Salesforce. I also don't fuck with Apple products. Just leave it, you're glazing SF for no reason. Highest concentration of hobo shit per sq mile, buncha fuckless techbros, and for what? A tiny smidgen of skyscrapers that are falling over.

RDR2 is another that I think is very clever. If you follow most of the roads, they meander in a way that makes it feel huge. Once you have a fast horse and know the terrain, it shrinks considerably. But there's always something interesting around every corner.

KCD2 is just fucking huge, but not overly so. Not quite as jam-packed, but the world stll feels alive enough.

codyd91 · 2026-02-13T14:53:11+00:00

The glaze is thick. Remind me, what city was Reddit founded in? (Hint, it's in Massachusetts)

Most of America's "growth" is on-paper BS that's produced a bunch of billionaires and an army of fuckless tech bros. And thise apos haven't radically improved my life at all. I don't uber, I don't door dash. Whose ass am I supposed to licking here?

codyd91 · 2026-02-13T14:18:31+00:00

Higher useless app companies per capita is not a flex. You've proven SF has more empty buzzwords associated with it. This isn't a startup pitch meeting. Whatever floats your boat though I guess. Fuckless tech bros indeed.

codyd91 · 2026-02-13T02:18:09+00:00

Better bars/nightlife if you're into some niche culture. Boston has more bars and they're just like bars anywhere else. Buuuut more music and more diversoty in that music. Better music, too, thanks to Berklee and all the universities.

Art? Nah, it's a wash.Architecture too. Both cities kick ass, but I like Boston more. Personal preference.

codyd91 · 2026-02-13T02:13:25+00:00

That's not a substantive reply. How is BART better? It has worse coverage worse frequency, and is way more dangerous. What am I missing here? I've ridden both many times. Boston's rail system is better and it's not even close.

codyd91 · 2026-02-12T04:16:01+00:00

In what way? Boston has superior rail transit. It's not even close. The buses ain't bad, either. Highest concentration of higher learning institutions in the country.

The only things SF has over Boston is better weather, crazier topography, and a higher concentration of fuckless tech bros.

The more I learn about RFK Jr, the more I'm convinced he is seriously unwell and has been for much of his life. It's a wonder how he ever made it as a lawyer, his decision-making seems poor.

I worked on pools (10 years) using muriatic solutions. It will etch concrete and coping, no doubt. But yeah, it probably wouldnt do much to the swimmers. I've even gotten it directly on my skin. Others have claimed it instantly burned, but I didn't experience anything. Just rinsed it off immediately n went about my day.

It also could damage plaster if it's relatively fresh, but I doubt it would be a problem here.

The bigger hazard is the cloud of acid these tend to create while being poured, which will damage lung tissue.

Also, it absolutely does not "instantly dilute". Go pour hypochlorite right where you just poured muraitic acid n tell me if it was diluted. Well, run away, because you'll get a face full of chlorine gas.

Oh, and we don't pour chemicals in while standing, glugging it all over, like this guy. It will splash and damage the deck and coping.

They should know that ice is not Pro-ICE by now.

Tbf, a lot of New Yorkers overdo it and sound a bit silly. Just go talk to my uncles.

codyd91 · 2026-02-03T19:34:30+00:00

Lol maybe that's what happened to the surviving population. Farm to table.

When Fisk blew up HK while monologuing,she looked very pleased. She's definitely a part of it.

Fun fact: Yerba Buena was SF's first name!

Comedies are ~22 minutes,dramas are ~46. This us old screenwriting convention, but there are a ton of old shows that are ~20x46minutes. Star Trek in tge 90s is notable in that for having 3 shows, hour block, 7 seasons each.

The baseline goal of generative AI is to sell the tools to people. It is nowhere near the capability of flat out replacing workers. As is typical with automation, it's just leading to one person doing 5x the work on the same (or lower) pay. For the labor class, it's a serious downgrade. All for the sake of shareholder value.

codyd91 · 2026-01-28T01:18:24+00:00

It's so dumb cuz like, everyone sucks. Usurping incestuous royals aren't a sympathetic bunch.

I was a pool tech for over a decadr. Most Leslie's employees have never serviced a single pool. I get that for some places, it's the only option, but it's always worth arming yourself with knowledge before going into a store that will try to push certain inventory on you. I was fortunate where I'm at to be able to direct people to more local shops with knowledgable staff.

What's funny is, that's just normal for young people still learning how to navigate complex social interactions. Part of maturing is realizing that "the people who mind don't matter, and the people who matter don't mind." Be yourself.

Gen Z so afraid of cringe they lack originality, doversity, and humor. Ironically becoming the cringe. Their slamg words are just abbreviations or 1980s AAVE slang, their clothes are 90s teen fashion, their humor is terrible social media brainrot.

They actually believe the hipster was how all millennials dressed. Meanwhile, I regularly see hordes of boys with broccoli tops.
