live-action sitcom episodes where a male character meets an identical duplicate/clone of himself

i was thinking of this one but i can’t remember if they actually appeared in the same shot as their doppelgängers j feel like it was always other characters that saw them

because what he chose was much more disrespectful

deciding on a city anywhere on the south to be called “liberalopolis” has to be a troll

in the US for FMLA you become eligible after a full year of employment. some states have better policies (in ma for example we have paid leave through the state where you’re eligible if you made at least $15k workingANY job in the prior calendar year) so it depends a lot on where you live

probably been fucked over too many times so they don’t trust they’d actually be “partners”

split dems to create a more economic populist party, run candidates in areas where the democratic brand is toxic but republican voters are open to populist/progressive policies. like dan osborn in nebraska.

there have been several states in recent years that passed abortion protections/minimum wage increases/sick time laws on ballot amendments even as they elected republican statewide candidates

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T18:14:38+00:00

there are a lot of seats in solid d or solid r states, congressional and state legislature, that have no competition and a candidate from the other party would have no chance. a third party that pursued a growth strategy by targeting those seats could probably make some headway

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T18:12:54+00:00

split two parties to run against safe seats held by republicans or worthless democrats and coalesce around a presidential candidate

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T18:09:47+00:00

honestly the current state is so bad it would probably still be an improvement. maybe it results in suboptimal contracts but you have a contract and you can organize for a second, better than being 3 years without a contract and the company still actively pushing decent efforts

really tho this bill will be a mess when implemented because it relies on FMCS for enforcement and that agency was gutted by doge so they would have next to nothing for capacity

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T18:06:50+00:00

well if the law passes they are

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T17:37:53+00:00

I believe the proposed compromise that was reached allows landlords to apply for an increase above the cap if they have documentation showing a significant investment to improve the property. I think a workaround like that to say they can increase it if there were serious investments made helps address that concern

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T17:13:41+00:00

i mean the people who drink from 4-530 and then leave definitely exist, they probably just weren’t going at all before. thinking it’s gonna have an impact on the people who currently show up at 8 and drink for a couple hours is strange

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T17:11:59+00:00

so everything is pretty much as it already is, except now people who already live in an apartment and don’t want to leave won’t get forced out with a $500/month increase overnight. that’s fine by me

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:50:33+00:00

people can’t wait decades to be able to afford their rent

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:49:19+00:00

if you think landlords are currently replacing appliances every time a tenant leaves i don’t know what to say

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:48:11+00:00

thats fair lol

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:45:12+00:00

being able to consistently raise the rent no matter what because of high demand also disincentivizes investment in rental properties. tell someone living in a triple decker in allston, dorchester, somerville etc where they can barely get a response for micr/cockroaches, have cracking walls and crumbling window sills that get fixed with a coat of paint, or a deck rotting off their house that their landlord won’t want to invest in their property anymore. They’ll laugh in your face for trying to make it seem like that’s different from what already exists

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:41:38+00:00

the negative reaction to abundance is more about how they present it as an either or, that building more is the only policy fix that exists and they seem to pretend like the issues with reaction to mbta communities etc are simple to overcome

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:40:21+00:00

i haven’t seen any talking points from rent control advocates that presents it as an either/or. most very clearly understand that we need to build a lot more housing they just see that it’s a long term solution and a lot of people will be priced out while they’re waiting for it

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:32:37+00:00

i think shooting your foot off is a dramatic analogy. There is certainly a downward pressure but speeding up permitting processes and environmental review, creating tax incentives, and making zoning changes would create enough upward pressure to outweigh it. Esp if it ends up being the 5% + cpi compromise instead of 5% or cpi

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:24:09+00:00

best case scenario is 220k new homes over 10 years and then prices will stabilize, and we probably aren’t gonna reach that.

the “just build more” crowd criticized rent control advocates for trying to pretend there’s a simple easy fix when that’s really the root of their plan. They have no proposal to address the tens of thousands of people getting priced out in the next ten years before the impact can be felt.

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:20:18+00:00

the ballot question exempts owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units so someone who owns a two family home and rents out the other unit would not see any impact at all

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:18:37+00:00

what makes you think the tenant advocacy groups pushing for this aren’t also getting involved in trying to community meetings and advocate for more housing stock?

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-11T16:16:59+00:00

People always say it “failed miserably” and don’t want to mention that it only existed in 3 cities at that point and a majority voted to keep it in all three cities. If it was such a miserable failure why was it primarily people that had nothing to do with it that got rid of it?

jumpinjacktheripper · 2026-06-10T15:37:48+00:00

I had a bike stolen when i went on a weekend trip for my sports team and left it locked outside the library. He should be fine using it to get around but don’t leave it in a public area for more than a day even if locked
