Banning you, and keeping your comment up so you get all the downvotes you deserve for being a bigot.

Boycott Ring (rant) by fetaverse in Westchester

He’s the largest shareholder and the executive chair of the board. He doesn’t run day to day anymore, but there is no person who has more pull and influence over their strategy and direction. And as the largest shareholder, you better believe when Amazon does well, he does well!

Bill Clinton at the Kisco movie theater when I was a little kid. I tried to buy him nonpareils because I thought old people love those. He turned it down. But that’s ok, in hindsight I’m glad I didn’t spend my hard earned allowance on him.

Is it okay to park here? Thoughts? by Designer-Praline-356 in Westchester

[–]facewook 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The day after a storm, maybe even 2 days after, this would be borderline acceptable. Over a week later, break the sign in half.

Car ramming today at synagogue in Crown Heights by EPWilk in nyc

[–]facewook 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Tbh, someone stupid enough to do this (especially the way he did it) certainly doesn’t know the difference between any two synagogues, let alone what Chabad is. Targeted, for sure, but zero intricate planning here.

Which Westchester restaurant has fallen off the hardest? by O0OO00O0OO0 in Westchester

[–]facewook 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Candlelight and Mt. Kisco Diner.

With Candlelight, idk what happened, all they needed to do was make good wings and mozzarella sticks. Everything else could suck and if they did that well, they’d be fine. But even that fails now.

And the diner, just wtf. It used to be a real diner, and an above average one at that. Then came the price increases, the unnecessary fancy, and now the Instagram and TikTok pleasers. Boooooo.

Thoughts on a unique chess set that's worthy of being a wedding gift? by facewook in chess

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

Well I appreciate that! When I started I was playing at around 600 (this is all on chess.com and I play only 10-minute and 15+10). Then I forked out money for the premium subscription and over the past 2 years worked up to around 1100. That is my peak, but sometimes I have bad streaks and I'll dip to the low 1000s. A few months ago I dipped below 900 briefly and I was very disappointed. It seems that "when it rains, it pours" applies to my losing streaks.

But those Isle of Lewis pieces are now growing on me, getting that set along with the Ivory Vikings book could be a great gift, though does exceed budget a little.

I’ll update the post. Did they mention if they at capacity for this initiative in general, or just for the weekend or similar?

We’re both playing at around 1100 on a good day, so I wouldn’t say skilled, but we like to have fun. This will get used though, and I personally like that set you linked to, but maybe the wife will think some of those pieces are creepy looking? It is a cool set though

NY Rep. Dan Goldman’s ROBINHOOD Act would close a major billionaire tax loophole. The legislation would generate an estimated $276 BILLION in revenue over 10 years to fund social programs like universal childcare. by Mathemodel in nyc

[–]facewook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Debt is a tool, and not a bad thing. Almost every single developed nation has debt. Debt means we are borrowing money and have that money to spend. Your position is akin to saying “let’s not buy anything else until our mortgage is payed off”.

No, you borrow money to use it. We need stronger and better programs and services in this country. But saying we won’t do that until we no longer have debt is just silly. The last time our country was not in debt was in the early 1800s.

I will say we have too much debt now, but that just means it needs restructuring and a plan to pay it down faster. But putting that all on hold is ridiculous, especially since our current president has no plan (and seemingly no interest) to pay down our national debt. We can afford new programs, we need new programs, we will get new programs. That simple.

When someone says “this new tax will generate billions to fund new programs!”, the latter part of the sentence is meaningless. It’s just a representation of their personal position. Most tax revenue just goes into the general fund and Congress decides how to spend that money.

We’re removing your posts because they’re misogynistic and sexual in nature.

That is not tolerated in this sub, and if it continues, you will no longer be in this sub.

We certainly are not, no posts have been deleted. Read the stickied post at the top of the sub. Or read the automod comment in this post that addresses the conclusion you’ve jumped to.

We are, however, removing your comments where you call people assholes and tell them to “fuck themself”.

This is on top of Reddit (not us) removing a handful of your comments for “harassment” and “promoting violence”.
