#BikeNYC #YNWA Married father of 2 living in Brooklyn. I’m not a “cyclist” - we just use cargo e-bikes instead of cars since it’s much more convenient to get around with kids.

Sure, but you'd also expect Giancarlo to be the one to come out of it injured.

What slows this dumb fuck down is him honking. As soon as I realize he is giving way, you can hear me engage my gears to accelerate from my slower speed. I'm about to move forward when he decides to honk, which startles me and causes me to stop.

And this one here. I'm going 21 mph on Broadway crossing Houston. There's a lot of cars to my right and so I'm proceeding thru the intersection carefully as I want to make sure there are no obstacles coming from my right. This fucker honks, which startled me, and I pass him 2 blocks later anyway.

I've had a lot of success with Red light complaints. I've had less success with illegal honks. In this one, I'm not sure if the car will give way so I slow down. You don't need to fucking honk at me. IDK if you're gonna stop. Cars think they talk to each other via honking. But I'm not a car!

Red lights may be optional in NYC but if you have a NYS license plate that starts with T, I will submit that shit to TLC and get your ass ticketed.

Dramatically increasing the 45 min transit footprint for a couple million New Yorkers will make it easier for those New Yorkers to access more jobs.

You should learn the difference between giving a man a fish and teaching a man to fish.

This isn't AI. Why do you keep bringing up AI. We already have automated trains. Some with drivers that do nothing but press a button every few seconds to confirm they're still there. Try to be less ignorant when lecturing others. You'll be received better.

If you overstaff, then you cut service, and that to me is pretty evil, as the goal is to move people, not staff people for the feels.

Every Vote Counts in Brooklyn. Even Those Cast by Dead People.

Did you know we have a bona fide case of republicans stealing an election with dead voters? Did you know that the NYPost has lead the reporting on this? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/n...

He could've done that. But as us reality based people know, it's not in his nature:

You snark but people who are kind and cook well do give off certain pheromones that tend to be attractive to members of the opposite sex. It's not dispositive of course. But they've done studies to show that it does move the needle at a statically significant level.

Why so confident on this? Americans have demonstrated that they can be propagandized into believing the economy is much better (or worse) than it actually is, with the greatest mismatches being in the most recent years.

Wish there were more silver linings. Like I am not gonna find that Dominican Washington Heights Pro-Trump uber driver who told me in Feb that Trump wouldn't try kicking out all the immigrants. Because "it'd be bad for the economy". But I sure wish I could and ask him if he still feels the same.

Remember when he wanted to stop testing for Covid. Like there were so many red flags. The guy willing to burn down the constitutional order and overthrow democracy is not a reliable vehicle for your low tax and pro biz agenda!

Even w/in the USSR, cotton production in Soviet Central Asia was so rife with fraud that when Andropov took power, he had to use Soviet spy satellites to measure the size of cotton fields to attempt to calculate the true yields

China has carbon neutral heavy industrial parks using wind, solar and battery and we're pushing coal?

If you used a Tesla from years 2010-2020 in China, your carbon footprint would be greater than if you had used a Honda Accord for the same period in Seattle. That's not the case anymore.

The Tao of Steve - Wikipedia

Me telling the young men of today to watch the Tao of Steve on "how to get laid" will probably land as well as my father suggesting I read Portnoy's Complaint. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tao...

Sometimes the CIA intervening to overthrow a foreign government was good. Wouldn't you want some foreign intelligence agency to rid us of the single actor doing the greatest harm to America, its economy and national security?

Vietnam overthrowing the Khmer Rogue was good. Maybe they can [ ].

She's been a star in several prominent TV shows and has branched out to movies to varying degrees of success and she's also known for her conventional beauty as she has blond hair, blue eyes and .... a very prominent bust. Sorry for writing like a grandma.

Just think, in another 10 years, you'll almost be a Real New Yorker 😉

Congrats on the milestone. Here's to many more!

Feels like it hits the tension between "But we don't even try to sell snake-oil"

AND

"Dems need to get more comfortable doing propaganda".

Maybe someone should write a book about it to let men down gently. We can even call it, "She's just not that into you".

But the correlation of getting laid and working out is less because you look hot but more from the (I) discipline, (II) self-confidence, (III) having a hobby that go with it.

But also, women hate desperation and so much of this manosphere shit is so just so desperate coded. It's so pathetic.

Now if this was democrats caught straight up trying to steal a local NYC election, the NYPost would be running non-stop campaign style coverage - considering how important Election Fraud is of an issue. But the NYT can't even get a NYT metro reporter on the case, let alone link it to Trump et al.

Gothamist broke the story about fraudulent signatures.

But that's an order of magnitude less serious than fraudulent votes! Well here are Republicans in NYC stealing an election with dead voters and the NYT just repeats NYPost reporting with a journo from Albany. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/n...

And I thought, well that's great, you can tell everyone else this when we're put up against The Wall how this isn't True Fascism but something unique and a little different.

For years he'd say (I) Trump was just a bog standard republican and (II) fascism can only exist as a reaction to socialist consolidation.

So yah, he did a mea culpa.

I remember debating him and one of his followers was persuasive to me that "Trump didn't meet the true definition of fascism" 1/2
