It's all projection. They can't square their self image with the reality so they project it onto other people to sooth the cognitive dissonance. They're garbage people. Like in a deep, fundamental, way. They are bad at existing in a complicated world.
If the “geniuses” who run these tech firms spent less money lobbying politicians and instead offered to pay for the college tuition of every student who successfully graduated from the local high school, they would probably get a very different reaction from the public.
Yeah , they could do a lot with their wealth. Unfortunately they are stupid and selfish. They're playing a dangerous game and eventually they'll roll for guillotines.
Momentum was not with project opponents, however, some of whom suggested no one would use the bike lane even as dozens of their neighbors spoke out in favor of its installation.
Self centered idiots
Bike lane opponents’ concerns always turn out to be “unfounded,” said longtime CB7 member and current CB7 transportation co-chair Ken Coughlin.
“I’ve been through all the bike lane battles, every single one, and it’s always been like this,” he said on Tuesday. “People said businesses will suffer, safety will be compromised, especially for pedestrians, and there will be more congestion — and in every case, it’s proven to be unfounded.”
And yet pro-car people never seem to learn. I guess for a lot of them it's a "this is the first time I've ever thought about this problem"
In both 2024 and 2025, the department suggested Batman use the building’s rear entrance to avoid seeing the flag and that he seek counseling for any distress he might experience.
I think it's less about they would have died without having kids, and more about they would have died in some isolated village and their ideas would have died with them.
Now they're all over the internet spreading their shitty thinks like viruses.
One time at work I was tasked with writing a python script to compare two data sources. Like, you give it two CSVs and a primary key, and it tells you what data is in one but not the other, or mismatched, and so on. This worked fine and was in git, so anyone can use it.
My boss then asks if I can "put it on a website so anyone can use it".
This team has never done web development. Nothing for that is set up. Like, I could spin up a quick Django app or similar, but there's a lot of stuff to do and potentially fuck up.
I said "that sounds like a lot of research and ongoing maintenance costs. I think it'd be better to just check out and run the script"
Ooh a Unitarian. Don't even have to be Catholic. I used to hang with unitarians. Some good folks there.
