The ones who can afford playoff tickets, especially

Even the facade is kinda thin too. So much of the culture comes from rugged individualism, masochistic suffering, escaping problems by running into the mountains. And these doesnt necessarily come from the same place as true community and values based on respect. Climbing does great communities but not every climber is even about that. I feel like the only honest liberal value we share is caring for the earth and finding spiritual peace.

The right to gossip about cultural overlords is really something we take for granted huh

If its open to everyone, then yes massive lines, it will cater to people who have more time than money. Seniors, underemployed people, fixed income recipients. Current government benefits are full of inefficiencies and arbitrary requirements, this is another one. Not everyone values their time equally or can use extra time to make extra money.

Nobody to get him the ball, nobody to pass too, too old to make a play singlehabdedly against an all-time defence.

Big bands can easily sell out Citi Field and Metlife. And Metlife sells out for the Giants even though they are terrible. There is always a demand for the most popular events, although only a dozen or two times a year.

Trump already blew Bubba if that counts

Too close to an election to appoint a new Supreme Court Justice.

Too close to an election to die in peace.

Wemby is young and hotheaded, but extremely competitive and not playing while high. JR dgaf enough to listen.

Gave his son a job at his company before retiring, giving him some space to flourish as his own person outside of his shadow. Pro dad move right there.

We got 7-1 memes out of it though

The other benefit is being cheaper and easier to maintain. They make great commuters especially in a flat area. I would add that while they offer minimal pragmatic advantages, they also offer few pragmatic disadvantages for a lot of casual riding, at a lower cost. But the more serious riding you do, the more you realize the derailleur was invented for a reason. And this is coming from someone who has done double centuries, toured, raced on fixed.

A socialist winning in NYC surprised a lot of people, because he wasnt favored as having a chance until he actually won. Getting left-leaning areas actually represented by politicians they align with is a great start.

I was on 42nd next to the bus that eventually got set on fire. Two idiots starting rocking a halal cart and the crowd was like "nah thats someone's business" and they ran away. Thats the vibe I felt. Everything that happens is worth reporting on, but the coverage needs to be honest. Fuck the NY Post.

Michael Bloomberg acting like he got jumped by a big scary black man in Game 3

As long as you deliver shit on a bicycle its a different side of the same coin. Packages, weed, food, pharmacy, whatever. Every lane and individual company has its pros and cons. We can respect who has which aspects better or worse but it the end we're all in the same boat and stronger together.

Especially on like...a 5.7 up an incredibly obvious line. "Im the first man with the proper tools to see this land! Its mine for eternity!" Where else have we heard that before?

There should be better community consensus about what to do next as times change though. A middle ground between nothing ever changes and a free for all bolting and cutting war.

Its rare that he even shows face in public in New York anymore. Let this be a reminder to him that he's even more hated than ever.

Its a bit of both. Plenty of influencers, corporate giveaways, people with fuck you money who just want the experience. But even they are there to cheer loudly.

But yeah there's also no shortage of real fans who make a healthy 6 figures and have been saving up for whatever it might cost to get in. Compared the to Super Bowl or upcoming World Cup the energy will be a lot more authentic relative to the ticket price.

The time between Kobe's prime and LeBron joining was closer to 5 years than 25

I mean, by conventional/traditional standards. Dude is still 7 feet tall, can probably beat 99.9% of the human race in a fight, has a hot girlfriend, plays an absurdly physical game.

But oh no he feels emotions and doesnt display the same flavor of aggression as some other NBA players even though he's still better than most of them. Must be a weak man, I'm telling you.

Actually absurd stat line. Something something, defense wins championships..

Your little ebike is pedal assist though, isn't it? Anything which you bring up to speed by throttling is going to have worse handling and just be more susceptible to idiots with no respect for their own power to burst into reckless speeds.

In the long term, throttled micromobility vehicles should be encouraged. Every one is one less car. The problem is they're seen as upgraded bikes, not car replacements. Even a 50mph scooter is theoretically less congestive and dangerous than a car, provided it stays in the infrastructure designed for vehicles that can go 50mph. Legalize them, require a license plate and a moped or new class of license, make running a red or riding in bike lanes something which cameras can automatically track and suspend the license for repeat offenders.

Those are two adult women who testified he raped them, which is more evidence of being a rapist than a decent human being should have against them.

Then there is also Katie Johnson, who testified Trump raped her at an Epstein party at age 13.

And also Virginia Guiffrie, who was taken seriously enough by the ruling class across the pond to shun Prince Andrew into hiding, was trafficked from Mar-a-lago.

Dozens of teenagers in or adjacent to Trump's modeling agency have spoken publicly about how Trump was inappropriate towards them. He himself bragged about how he would enjoy walking in on them changing. Why would someone who is not a pedophile enjoy doing that?

Considering that two of these women I mentioned died under mysterious circumstances, as did Jeff himself of course, its not surprising that some accusations are buried, anonymous, or pressured into recanting.
