This chart is breaking my brain. Durham, a tiny city in North Carolina whose downtown is basically a single square, and is racked in its own housing crisis, is permitting more units per year than: Manhattan, San Francisco, San Jose
I had a 3.1 unweighted and D's in there and got into multiple of these. And Yes I'm Asian American. There must have been something very wrong with his essays.
Despite earning 3.97 unweighted and 4.42 weighted GPA, scoring 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT's and founding his own e-signing startup RabbitSign in sophomore year, Zhong was rejected by 16 colleges he applied to.
That's actually amazing. Usually you have to avoid arguing with Brie and Brie-types. But the moment you can force her to say "let's say Biden is 10 times better than Trump. I'm not voting for him" she's lost the argument. You've actually dislodged brain worms from listeners.
@notkavi
I don't think it's the inability to understand the argument. I think it's the inability to handle being told what to do. "Are you telling me how to do my job?" And that's the end of the conversation.
@EvanRoden5
Don't buy it. The reality behind point 1 & 2 are too nuanced to make good sarcasm and 3 & 4 are more orthogonal to the truth than opposite to it. Also half the comments are groypers blaming feminism and the other half arguing as you see under my tweet.
Very sad to have to say this - an AI company called EleutherAI stole tens of thousands of YouTube videos - including many of mine. I’m one of the creators Proof News spoke to. The stolen data was sold to Apple, Nvidia, and other companies to build AI
Why this design? It’s adaptable to streets that can’t get a bus shelter and can be affixed to existing bus signs with no new permits required. This simple treatment provides shade during the day and utilizes solar energy gathered to light the stop at night.
I'm no fan of police but the fact that for every serial killer story, there is police incompetence you can point to might imply EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE CONCLUSION
Hey so, I’m a lawyer, huge “true crime” fan and a police/prison abolitionist.
Let’s play a game. Show me a serial killer and I’ll point out the police incompetence necessary for the killer to kill.
Police do NOT keep you safe. Least of all, from serial killers. Prove me wrong.
Christopher Nolan says “like it or not, J. Robert Oppenheimer is the most important person who ever lived.”
“He made the world we live in, for better or for worse. His story has to be seen to be believed.”

3 Italian police brutally assaulted, pepper sprayed and kicked an unarmed trans-woman in Milan.
Criminalizing & inciting violence against “transgenderism” has lethal consequences… the so called “gender ideology” is used to justify Gov’t discrimination.

People are just mistaking acting for staging. E.g. the Obama call came off weird to some because all parties are clearly in character. Every politician knows when to turn it on without being told in advance.

It's turned a small, gorgeous region with a Mediterranean charm into an ugly, noisy and congested mini-city.
If this is what it means to be a "world-class" city, forget it. We don't want it.
Just so we're clear on the morality behind capitalism:
Making bombs to murder children = good, legal, respectable
Consuming plants that make you feel nice = bad, illegal, go to jail
It's pretty crazy how a one time injection of <5% of median (household) lifetime earnings can be completely life changing because we literally refuse to redistribute wealth to the young.
Remember folks, we created ONE and precisely ONE generation that really understands computers and computing in general.
Everyone else thinks a "computer," in spite of its name, is just a communication device.

Or rather force all police departments to purchase insurance and pay for it themselves and see how long it takes when they have to foot the bill of their mistakes.
I resent that 'cultural appropriation' as a concept has given cover to ordinary social conservatism under the pretense of being social justice. Cultural arts are beautiful and exquisite and meant to be shared. Few things me happier than non indians cooking Indian food.
@NickTagliaferro
If there weren't gender politics at play here, I'd want to suggest that Kamala could win a lot of relatability/celebrity points if she talked about her home cooking. She cooks American food and Indian food and could talk about either in the same breath.

1.3 million years?? Where are these numbers even coming from?? Humans are at most separated between the new and old world by 15,000 years.

These high-price, standard-fare Italian restaurants remain amusing to me. Vancouver has 9 Michelin recommended Italian restaurants at a similar or lower price point. You don't need to be spending $25 for romaine lettuce.
Kehlani during her recent Tiny Desk concert:
“Free Palestine. Free Congo. Free Sudan. Free Yemen. Free Hawai’i. Free Guam. Beyond a ceasefire, we need an end to the occupation. It’s deeper than this.”
(obvious answer is that your body adjusts to the heat with exposure and summer months tend to be low productivity without A/C but like fuck, my body is not adjusted for this!)
The bill, in addition to banning practices such as no knock warrants and chokeholds, would grant the justice department power to subpoena police departments. That is a huge deal! That is a structure by which police departments are must answer to the law for their misconduct!
THREAD. This is one of the most depraved copaganda campaigns in modern history. Biden's behavior here is shameful, and many Democrats who know better are going along, hoping people won't actually read what is being proposed.
Kind of baffled when people cite Seattle/Minneapolis/Austin/Houston/etc as YIMBY success stories. Like, just no. There are no YIMBY "success stories". There are, at best, mitigated failures.

Have you considered that women are, in fact, conscious human beings responsible for how they treat other people 4 out 4 weeks in the month, including during mood swings?
Korea's study culture is actually just incredibly sad. Parents belittle their children into studying past the point of detriment to their test scores. Far far past the point of detriment to their personal lives.
This is so politically illiterate it hurts. Every one of these cities are run by Democrats. Texas state legislature is actively attempting to punish Austin for densifying and undermining their efforts to build transit. Phoenix is heavily exurban.
@leemahbo
...that is not how insurance works. Insurance redistributes money from the lucky to the unlucky. And bad drivers who get into frequent accidents do in fact pay more! Pricing risk is a core function of insurance!

But more importantly, in no reading on histamine intolerance did "leftovers" ever come up. The main thing was to avoid alcohol, certain fruits, and certain grains.
The atom bomb would've been developed without him and every other scientific achievement of his, too, probably without any significant delay. Truman famously thought little of Oppenheimer and he had no serious influence on policy, including the decisions to drop the bomb.
Can’t overemphasize how foolish and counterproductive it is to argue that the solution to gerrymandering is voting your way past it. You often can’t! That’s the entire point of gerrymandering! Ask Wisconsin or North Carolina. There has to be outside action to fix it
It does not feed 2000 families. It gives 2000 families a few vegetables (~<1 day's worth) a month at a greater cost of operation than purchasing those vegetables for them from a grocery store.

I'm registered unaffiliated in NC and am a straight ticket dem voter. The reason is because democratic primaries are occasionally uncompetitive, while Republican primaries are competitive, so we can go vote in that one. This is a strategy employed by my whole family.
Much is made of Trump's fabrications, but like am I tripping when I say Trump was a lot more incoherent than usual? At the beginning it was noticeable but by the end it was really anomalous.

It's naive to consider it half right, either. All of the female models are conventionally attractive in every way that isn't age, color, or weight because the entire process is an act in cynicism. "Okay, the customers want fat models, but not ones with pimples."
