Speaking from personal experience, yes. A friend of mine had this as the floor, and it immediately gave me the spins which made me vomit on the floor.
Ironically, that immediately solved the problem, and taught my friend a valuable lesson at the same time
NYC is one of the greenest cities on earth. Its entire public transit system is electric. traffic in Manhattan is limited and regulated. It’s almost entirely livery traffic now, primarily electric.
Whales and dolphins are regularly spotted in the Hudson River now.
The air quality index in New York right now is 32 (midday, it jumps into the 40s at night), which is the same as it is today in Denver.
London has an AQI of 2
Moscow? They just stopped measuring it, thanks to the Ukraine drone attacks.
Smog? What smog?
Do you watch NewsMax or something?
Wide open windows
Seriously, a valid question. And without great airflow, I would probably have choked to death.
Seriously. Wide open windows.
Well, if this isn’t a sign of the times, I don’t know what is
“incorrect”
– Bruce Batmen
One of my favorite scenes in Spider-Man No Way home was the three Spider-Mans (the correct pluralization because ‘Spider-Man’ is a title, not an object) talking about how Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man’s web-goo shoots out of him, while Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland are totally grossed out by that while trying to be like, “oh, no man… that’s totally cool we’re just ‘interested’” trying to be supportive in a heartfelt way.
And how Andrew Garfield was kind of interested in a creepy way, and Tom Holland was more depressed because he has to hustle himself out to a rich techno daddy to afford to keep make his.
NYC can be a rough place
She knows exactly what she’s doing
Move back home to Brooklyn where the cost of living is significantly lower than it is where I currently live, bank the rest of it and start looking for work.
“two-way street” implies an equal exchange, not just equal opportunity to speak, and only someone who’s never been on the receiving end of one would ever make the mistake of thinking there’s anything equal about it.
in fact, the only ones I’ve ever heard make that argument are bigots themselves, trying to excuse or defend their bigotry while shifting blame to their victims for “not standing up for themselves” or some other victim-blaming bullshit.
DARVO (an acronym for “Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender”) is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers, narcissists, or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior.[1] Research indicates that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.
I’m clearly not the only one here who feels this way, and I’m sure that none of us are surprised that, right from the start, you’re deflecting any responsibility for what you’ve created.
free speech is a two way street
it really isn’t
You can debate your point with out dehumanizing others, when you can’t, you’ve already lost the argument.
No. You can’t. And giving a “open mic“ to the Nick Fuenteses and Stephen Millers, and Charlie Kirks of the world who will put on a suit and a tie and try to “debate” you while dehumanizing others with nice sounding words gives them a platform to spread their hate while framing it as a “civilized debate“ rather than the coded bigotry that it is, while you cast aside any responsibility for letting them do it, tossing your hands up and claiming “free speech”.
It’s plainly and obviously bullshit. It’s like inviting a vampire into the house and then being surprised when everyone turns up dead.
But it doesn’t appear that you’re specifically disallowing it either
You are definitely entitled to feel that way though.
My concern is that this is what you will also say to the bigots when they arrive
When you sit down at a table and nine Nazis sit down at that table with you, there are now 10 Nazis sitting at that table.
It has been my experience that “free speech” (especially online) is code for “bigotry welcome”.
I see nothing in the description here to convince me this will be any different.
I’m 47 and still in my 20s. I feel ya.
Although, I have quit doing coke. or… Rather… I can no longer afford it.
Still have a mohawk, though
