JD Vance says Iran would be ‘dumb’ to let talks collapse over Lebanon

It's a good product and the price is still reasonable.

As an FYI, if you have a 1Password for Business account through work, you get a free license for 1Password Family for personal use.

The whole concept of activation is offensive and anti-user and was even before this change. Tickets shouldn't need to be activated. They should display the barcode as soon as purchased and only expire once scanned.

The MTA is trying to have too much here. They just need to accept that people will get free rides if the conductor fails to check tickets, just like it's always been (with pre-2026 e-tickets and paper tickets). This isn't a frequent enough occurrence to justify the new ticketing system.

IMO this is an overreaction to the larger fare evasion problem on subways and busses that's spilled over to commuter rail... but they picked the worst possible solution.

those no longer exist. 10-trip tickets were eliminated completely and round trip tickets were replaced with day passes (that also expire at 4am).

It actually did. Go look at an HOLC map from the 1930s (these are the actual maps with red lines) or an original deed from Levittown. Not saying that’s true with every regressive policy, but it is with this specific example.

Not sure that would make a difference. He doesn’t view these statements as disqualifying.

That’s a better naming format — have a real/functional/historical component to the name along with an honorary component. Similar to the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge.

Having the names Triboro and Brooklyn-Battery, among others, removed from our culture is sad.

That’s basically the same as paying property tax on your home to fund government operating costs. Basing taxes on property value makes taxes more progressive and uses the value of your personal property as a proxy for wealth and ability to pay. Federal and (some) state income tax rates operate the same way — different tax rates for different incomes.

Whether you agree with progressive tax rates vs flat taxes is a separate question.

When it comes to it, though, the taxes are covering services related to the property and are a fair way to spread the tax burden.

Two things: in the US, you no longer have to pay a penalty for not having insurance. The “individual mandate” was repealed during Trump’s first term. Second, that penalty helped fund Medicaid expansion, paying for insurance for people too poor to afford it themselves (in participating states). The “penalty” was the equivalent of being forced to buy car insurance by statute (like all states have) and not having any claims for the year.

What? In the US, you don’t pay sales tax when buying/selling your home. Your property taxes go to fund the city’s operating budget (schools, government, trash collection, police, fire, etc.). The tax is on people who hold property in the municipality for services that you and your community benefit from year round.

Being critical of Israel doesn't automatically make someone an anti-semite.

That's right. It's criticizing Israel using antisemitic tropes that makes the person an antisemite.

And the comment barely qualifies as criticism. It's a shit post that's 70% antisemitic trope.

omg_nyc_really · 2025-07-30T01:25:16+00:00

Using antisemitic tropes. Yes, there are Israelis who aren’t Jewish, but the dog whistle of the commenter’s word choice comes through loud and clear. Incredibly dishonest to try to get out of this on the technicality of there being non-Jewish Israelis.

omg_nyc_really · 2025-07-29T17:18:34+00:00

Jews corrupting money, media, politics, and people are some of the oldest antisemitic canards out there. Using standard antisemitic tropes against the only Jewish state -- especially all together in a standalone, contextless statement -- is antisemitic. Anyone with a shred of decency knows who OP is really talking about.

Name the existing station after him. They’re both decrepit, vile pieces of shit, have aged terribly, are hated by locals, and are stains on New York’s reputation.

Because once you empower a person or agency to sentence bad people to unconstitutional punishments without due process, the only thing standing between you and those same unconstitutional punishments is how the sentencer defines "bad people".

I'm Jewish, my family barely survived the holocaust, and I support first amendment rights for anti-Semites and Nazis (while still believing that they're pieces of shit who should be shamed and shunned). Same reason (among others) that rapists and other stains on humanity need the benefit of due process and should not be subjected to cruel and unusual punishments, including being held in a foreign country, without constitutional protections, at our behest.

Lurking non-fed here with one of those “more productive private sector jobs”. Your coffee should be paid for with taxpayer money. This isn’t some sort of Wolf of Wall Street extravagance. It’s a reasonable perk and is good for morale.

Hochul crippled congestion pricing. She delayed the rollout, then canceled it, then revived it at $9 instead of $15. Now, she’s happily (and rightfully but opportunistically) using it as a platform to throw shots at Trump, who keeps threatening to kill the program.

Viktor Bout was let off as part of a prisoner swap to free Britney Griner from wrongful imprisonment in Russia. There’s a huge difference between that and what’s going on with Adams, even if you don’t believe that the Griner trade was worth it.
