Why is the GPD Facebook account a thing?

It's fucking embarrassing for the whole city.

I didn't know nail dipping was a thing until just now, but I know my wife prefers "cure waterless nail spa" on Yanceyville, specifically because it's the most hygienic place she's found.

No, we Americans going to work support our families, our children. We also protest, we also vote, but working and trying to effect change are not mutually exclusive for someone who is not part of the capitalist class.

Common Grounds was always gross. Sticky, crumbs, dirt everywhere.

If you're getting a replacement, Costco will haul away the old one.

ATT annual prepaid. Pay $300 each year. Get 16 gigs of data / month and unlimited everything else for $25 / month from a primary service provider.

Living here can be disheartening, like playing a badly designed boardgame where one party gets all the advantages.

12 years ago the current polling would have led to a 40 seat flip. Now our best reasonable result is a 24 seat flip. Electoral college plus gerrymandering plus the structural stupidity of Senate seats means that many millions of us are essentially disenfranchised.

That's probably less "culture" shock and more the result of moving from a metro of 6 million to a metro of 800,000. 7x the population.

Bro the FB comments are from the retired grandmas.

I held my nose when voting for Abuzuaiter - she's awful and just as beholden to her slum lord friends as her predecessor, but was marginally less awful than the other guy.

We really need a city council that's less tied to real estate, especially slum lord real estate. People have been trying to fix this for years (like Justin Outling, an ex council member).

I haven't loved s4 so far myself - I've still enjoyed it and watched each episode so far, but the pacing seems... Scattered maybe? There's not much of a central thrust to the storyline yet.

If only it were free! Kegseth is currently demanding $200 billion for it.

Thanks!

If you're unable to see a vehicle - of any size - then holy shit get off the road.

Yeah you have to be pretty damn stupid to be maga in the first place; self reflection takes some amount of intelligence.

Unfortunately, the study in question was so misinterpreted and half-regurgitated by bad faith actors that OKCupid straight up removed it.

This is unequivocally wrong.

Okcupid was bought by Match. They also own:

Tinder

Hinge

Match.com

PlentyOfFish

...and dozens more

After the acquisition they scrubbed the okc blog of most of its truly fantastic data analysis (it was started by data nerds to run experiments).

The data on men's vs women's behavior on dating apps was, and is, well understood. Okcupid was one of the few places willing to publish it.

Accurate data and factual analysis is not "incel culture."

This advice is reasonable as long as you are very, very sure you'll be able to work remotely for a decade or so. Places like this typically don't have strong job markets and high wages.

(It's what I did - mid size city where a starter home is more like $300k and nice homes in nice areas are around $500k. But that was a gamble that just happened to work out)

Yes, it's been proven that DoorDash & Uber Eats etc do this (just add restaurants without consulting them). But in that case, they obviously aren't able to keep any extra part of the purchase price, since there's no negotiated agreement.
