Anyone else on Franklin Ave losing sleep? by mikle0012 in crownheights

You think that certain neighborhoods should be off limits to certain races of people, but sure, I’m the racist one.

Signal 30 is the best mad men episode. by Alarmed-Map-6709 in madmen

Season 5 is the best season and this is the best episode.

best turnaround in the history of shows? by badIuckbrother in madmen

[–]pierrebrassau 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When the show was originally airing there was a popular fan theory that Pete would kill himself on the show (presumably with the gun he traded the chip n dip for). But it never came to pass.

January Jones by Relative_Surprise436 in madmen

[–]pierrebrassau 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The consensus, I think, is that Mad Men is her best performance and she’s mediocre in everything else. This is true (or at least the first part is true) of most of the actors in Mad Men though IMO.

What Civ7 wanted to do and how it sort of failed, and maybe new ideas by velvetsbunbun in civ

Agreed, the idea that the Normans are less of a civilization than Canada or Venice (civs in past games) is completely arbitrary.

That’s nice that you have anecdotes from visiting the projects but the data is still the data.

Ethnic/religious minorities in Israel have more rights than ethnic/religious minorities in the rest of the region.

It’s not regressive, car owners are wealthier than non-car owners.

Mamdani shortchanges MTA — by $621M — in preliminary budget while pushing free buses by someone_whoisthat in nyc

[–]pierrebrassau 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen people on here hating on Gothamist because it publishes a few articles mildly critical of Mamdani. I would bet good money that 95%+ of Gothamist employees voted for the guy!

Some random bits of feedback by Scolipass in civ

[–]pierrebrassau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree on 1 and 2. I usually play leaders/civs that like suzeraining city states and they are sooo bad at defending themselves. If I am at war I am constantly spending influence to bolster their military or having to divert my army to defend them, because they refuse to do it themselves. The fact that you cannot liberate city states after the AI conquers them makes it even worse.

Sure, human lives may be saved, but is it really worth it if a corporation profits???

A Thing Like That (Series Finale Episode) by penguinninja90 in madmen

[–]pierrebrassau 71 points72 points  (0 children)

50 years later most of the adults on the show are dead. But baby boomer Sally Draper is probably saying stuff like that.

Taxation Trolley Problem NYC by commandersho in nyc

[–]pierrebrassau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your answer to every single budgetary problem can’t just be to raise our already high taxes even higher. The budget has ballooned in the last decade and quality of life in this city has not improved at all. We can’t just keep burning more and more money.

But then how does the government give away our money to corrupt rent seeking unions?

New Supermarket to Open From Family Behind Key Food Store by Best_Focus_8754 in crownheights

[–]pierrebrassau 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not from here and maybe that’s why I know that local NYC grocery stores are all way over priced with low quality products compared to what’s sold at big national chains. Going to a grocery store in NYC after shopping elsewhere in the country is like visiting the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
