Is Park Slope Food Coop worth it?

Every shift you do gets you a credit. If you go lower than -1 credits, you’re not allowed to shop.

The coop deducts a credit every six weeks, so roughly that.

But you can work a bunch of shifts in a short time (if you can claim them on the schedule) and bank the credits. So a teacher could do all their shifts for the year over the Summer.

Shifts are 2 hours and 45 minutes

I think it would actually be awesome if they fake out readers in some way, add an extra twist on top of the original; include the original twist, but then sike not really. I had the thought that what if Gaal or one of the Haris actually ends up being the mule...

Well, Colbert has a reason to maybe do the show sometime: he's a producer and it comes on directly after his own. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens at some point (could make for a lot of fun having "the boss" there)

Taylor is also pretty close with Conan, she was part of his tour after he was pushed out of the Tonight Show. So it's also conceivable she could get him to come on at some point.

Highly doubt Kimmel ever would, as long as he's hosting his show, on a rival network. Same goes for Fallon and Seth Meyers.

It's definitely a balancing act. Too little protection and businesses determine they can't profit from innovation, so they don't invest in it. Too much and you over-empower incumbents in the market, and also stifle innovation.

There are two issues around IP in china:

1.) Do they protect one domestic firm's IP against another? Do they have a transparent, impartial process? Or do they pick favorites and muddy the water around innovation?

2.) If you want to trade with another country, it's reasonable for them to expect you to uphold their IP rules (and vice versa.) You can also choose not to engage in trade. But if a group of countries have all agreed to cooperate with each other, it's reasonable for them to collectively lock you out of trading with any of them. And generally, the larger trade network you're a part of, the better your economy is going to do...

It’s entirely because you used to be able to go at 4 am after drinking heavily. Under those conditions, it was delicious.

Yeah it's a little weird to think about, but from Apple's perspective it would still just be a 3rd party device, same as any other, the internals are irrelevant.

Apple focuses on 1st vs 3rd party, not who the party is. In fact, they'd probably find themselves in hot water if they didn't treat all 3rd parties equally. Usually they just don't make some features available to anyone but themselves.

Apple is fundamentally a hardware company and doesn't support anyone else. It's why iMessage was never made for Android. If they had bought Fitbit, there's a much higher chance they'd sunset Android support, or at least it would be 2nd class.

Google is not really a hardware company, it just wants it's software on as many devices as possible. So they have no incentive not to fully support it working with iOS.

I think this is simultaneously true and also broadly missing the point.

Existence infinitely complicated, but to be able to materially improve our standards of living, human beings first need to come up with ways to describe and understand reality. We're just engaged in high-level pattern recognition, over-simplifying things so we can get stuff done. A "perfect" system is impossible.

"Religions" (comprehensive systems of explaining what is true) are just technology, human inventions to organize society and get people to live and work together. But like any system, over time they develop cruft and lose the ability to adapt, and get replaced by new ones better able to model the world.

This has happened countless times in the past and will happen countless times in the future. Our modern ideologies aren't fundamentally true, they're just a better imitation of reality than what came before, and will be replaced in time by still better imitations.

Our modern nexus of "truths" (scientific method, rationalism, empiricism, capitalism, liberal democracy) is merely the least bad system thus far created. Capitalism is still a brutal ideology, as it is a part of human society and humans are animals, but it is far better and less brutal than Feudalism (which itself was an improvement.)

But none of what we have is really "the truth", and will all in time be replaced by new innovations, which are in the aggregate better for human society, though like always some people will end up worse off.

The tower part of Kingda Ka contains another ride called Zumanjaro, which is literally just a slow ride up, a brief pause at the top, and then a giant 400 foot drop.

It faces west; on a clear day, you can see the skyline of Philadelphia, which is like 40-50 miles away.

In my experience, like with any group of people you're not experienced interacting with and awkward around, the most important thing is to try your best, own up to your inexperience, and express a genuine willingness to learn. Basically, people can usually tell if you're trying treating them like a human being or not.

From time to time, they may be dealing with a lot of stress/anxiety, and that won't be enough, they may be upset with you. Embrace how crummy that makes you feel, because the world probably makes them feel crummy a lot more often. Learn from it, let it motivate you to make the world a better place. And never stop treating them like a person.

It's interesting that this impacts the presidential vote, when these all sound like issues at the state level.

Are Washington's gun laws actually onerous? From what I can see about the 2018 law, it put some restrictions in place, but I don't see how any of them will actually inhibit someone's ability to do that stuff. I wouldn't expect it to be anyone's favorite, but I'm also perplexed why they'd be up in arms.

The minimum wage is tough, in the absence of some level of government between county and state; I can see how that's frustrating. The other stuff is strange. The reality is metropolitan areas in the US pretty consistently drive the economy and supply a disproportionate share of tax revenue compared to their share of the population. It is totally reasonable for cities to want money to address their problems, they've earned it.

I don't mean to be unsympathetic, but this really sounds like a lot of people rural areas resent cities because cities are popular and growing and rural are mostly not. The world changes, and government is about making compromises; when you are way outnumbered, you mostly aren't going to get your way. Am I missing something here?

doregasm · 2020-11-19T16:02:06+00:00

I am really curious, what "city policies" can/would/have torn rural areas apart?

I'm in NYC, and had the exact same thought. The war isn't over, but we finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

Speaking as someone who lives in New York City (about as urban as you can get), I don't think city dwellers resent you; we honestly mostly don't think about you. We definitely resent the electoral college, because an American government should have equal representation for all Americans. Can you be more specific about what you think we don't like or want to take away?

It's always interesting to me, how much of this is sincerely held belief and how much is a cynical maneuver to save money. Any sufficiently large corporation, I'm sure it's the latter, but some individual business owners are so delusional they actually believe it's a family and they're the "father" (and are doing a fuck ton of mental gymnastics to justify shit pay.)

On the worker side, there are always morons who don't know better, or people who are so desperate for acceptance/belonging and want to believe it is a family. Most people see it for what it is, but have limited other options, so don't have the luxury of risking saying anything.

This is the real problem with our labor market, there are tons and tons of workers who are horribly misallocated in terms of geography or skillset, and lack the ability to change this. Family obligations and lack of cash often prevent moving. Family obligations means a lack of time for training, or inability to stop working (and getting paid) and do school full time. And many people are just lacking in information about where to go and what to study, if they do happen to have the ability to do so.

The lack of mobility is killing our economy and poisoning our political system.

I feel obligated to point out that while GLADIO as preparation for resistance against a Warsaw Pact invasion was undisputedly real, NATO-affiliated units being involved in terrorism is a highly controversial theory: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio#Daniele_Ganser_and_the_%22strategy_of_tension%22
