How are you going to have a projector like that and accompany it with a garbo sound system? Couldn't even see the side speakers at first till I realized they were on the floor. I think that person has a fetish for Sony and Iron Man.

Meddling in the affairs of sovereign states and washing our hands of the consequences because WE have unilaterally decided what is best for citizens of another state is morally reprehensible for our country to do. We’ve done it for over a 100 fucking years and it fails every fucking time.

Yeah, Germany, Japan, Kuwait and South Korea are total failures.

Jack Dorsey is a different kind of guy but his affect in this story is not what I would call more soothing.

It's like Hannibal Lecter and Patrick Bateman having a dinner party. I mean the strange intensity and attempted empathy rather than murder, obviously.

Maybe it's just the framing of the story. Like the toast "scene" or the jolly VR jaunt through hurricane ravaged Puerto Rico.

Jack Dorsey does seem to have a slightly better "relatability instincts" team though. Zuckerberg acts like a control protocol for a ColecoVision port of the Voight Kampf test.

So this is about to be to petty rants as a Gamma Ray Burster is to a birthday candle.

But can we talk beyond the toast -- to the kitchen itself ?



That's a nice kitchen. Decent espresso maker. Lower end microwave and that's not a great toaster. But if that was my kitchen, I'd be like "daaaaamn. I have a nice-ass kitchen! I made it to the upper middle class maybe but chintzed on the appliances just a bit."

But that's not Zuckerberg's kitchen. (Maybe it is but that would ruin my rant) It's a rented or borrowed set. Designed to look nice but not gross or ostentatious. Mark Zuckerberg has lots of houses obviously, as I would if I had his money. Mark Zuckerberg's maids quarters probably have a nicer kitchen.

But I wouldn't pay $30 million dollars to snatch up four or five surrounding luxury homes just to knock them down get a bigger privacy fence like he did in Palo Alto.

And I certainly wouldn't pay THREE times the market rate for a $10 million townhome right slap bang on the topmost edge of the most offensively gentrified neighborhood in San Francisco - the Mission - a place where San Francisco's amazing Latino community used to live.

A few still do but the working and shadow economy class immigrant backbone of the now excruciatingly trendy and hipster neighborhood was already starting to look like a Disney epcot recreation of itself ten, fifteen years ago. If you want Mexican food it is AMAZING. If you're a Mexican line chef cooking that food, you can no longer afford to live there at all.

His neighbors, already mostly well off tech people or lucky hardworking OG residents - often can't park anywhere near their houses because of his massive fleet of suburbans and limos for his security detail - and their property taxes were readjusted as soon as the paint was dry on his exquisite remodel - something that continues to push out old ladies who thought paying off the mortgage in 1981 was the beginning of a safe retirement. That happens everywhere in San Francisco but the Mission is among the hardest hit in that specific regard.

Works great for the wealthy because it accelerates the gentrification and makes their neighbors richer and the houses nicer and that's the cycle.

I'm a hypocritical jerk here - I partially contributed to the gentrification of San Francisco in the late 90s early oughts by buying the only small condo we could afford in an undesirable corner that's now desirable.

But if I had Zuckerberg money I wouldn't spend it pretending to be one of the cool young hipsters just managing to afford their first place in the Mission - which when the gentrification started became the poster child for the negative phenomenon. Every single adult in San Francisco is aware of that. It's on the front page of the hip and the terrible newspaper.

And there are a dozen more capacious already -rich spots he could have chosen, from SeaCliff to Tiburon to the array of anonymous luxury on Nov Hill and the Marina and on and on.

He could have gotten more for less in the much, much ritzier Pacific Heights. But it's kinda the real estate version of an edwardian-bearded sleeve tattoo blond haired Yale grad with fresh whitewalls on his vintage handmade lowrider bicycle, grabbing some civet espresso at this one secret spot. He moved there to be cool.

It shouldn't bother me that it's not really his kitchen, but it does. It's none of my business what he does with his money.

I also get irrationally upset at tv commercials where they pretend a group of attractive or quirky professional actors are "real customers" who apparently are too dumb to realize the Chevy sedan isn't a Mercedes S-Class because there's a sticker hiding the steering wheel badge.


Ironically if he literally recreated Tony Stark's cliff house I'd be down with that. Jealous even. I don't begrudge him super yachts or helicopters or bonsai live Tigers, but Dolores? Come on dude.

[benjipwns]

So the hashtag #WeAreMADURO is trending on Twitter. It's apparently trending no. 1 in Venezuela.
Um, why?

bots, trolls and tankies

Maduro probably did steal his last election but it's not like him and Chavez had/have zero popularity in the country, Chavez probably won legitimately a few times at least...they really can't fathom any kind of opposition being legitimate

[Boredfrom]

Eh, given that local politicians like AMLO used bots and trolls way before Trump era... is not exactly far fetched.

I think folks on ERA needs to understand that placing a 'side' as 'good', 'bad', 'left', 'right, is childish at best, ignorant at worst. The world does not function at such binary terms and only a simpleton would believe otherwise.

What's ignorant is assuming that the money won't go directly towards caging more kids up.



There aren't even any protections for dreamers, which would be the ONE thing that even remotely salvages it.



I read the article. It says the only part of the drafted proposal we know of is that they're giving Trump free reign to do what he wants along the border except for building anything with 5 billion to do it with. Everything else is a summary of the lies Republicans have peddled and some rube acting like we should compromise with fascists.



No, it's caving to the racism and nationalism of the Republicans. Or, perhaps the racism and nationalism the Dems had in them all along. Your pick. And if we're assume that they were going to put money towards ~border security~ when we haven't even used up the money already allocated for it from last time we funded "border security", then, yeah, they're being nationalist hacks and should be called out for it. Maybe it isn't technically caving, but it's still bad.



Like, the article certainly doesn't say, so, you tell me: what GOOD, POSITIVE things could possibly be done with the money that Republicans and Trump would actually agree on? They're certainly not going to make ICE centers less inhumane or less like the almost literal concentration camps they are. And outside of that, and given they can't build anything, they pretty much have to use it towards actions. Actions which will harm people who have done nothing but break a stupid and outdated law that has no place in a society looking towards progress. Nothing that Trump would agree to. I'm in fact for abolishment of borders entirely, sooner or later. I understand that's a big grab, but we should be working towards it, not away from it. Again, I don't want a wall. I never fucking said I do. I think we should make things easier for people who want to work or live here, if we must continue the charade of man made arbitrary concepts like borders. But the Democrats do not specify that's what the money is for. They're saying "here Trump, here GOP, do what you want except build stuff along the border!" Now what could that entail except killing or arresting people doing nothing but walking across an imaginary line in the sand, hm?



And you seem to be speaking from a place of privilege yourself. I'm sure you have a roof over your head, something many of the people who will be negatively effected by 5 billion bumped into "~border security~" (i.e. ICE) don't have. I'm aware that many government workers are going unpaid, and I fully support their methods of protest. That isn't the fault of anyone but Trump. Don't let shitheads trick you into thinking there's a both sides here, there isn't- or wasn't, anyway.



I also am directly impacted by this shutdown given my living situation, don't dare think I don't have skin in this game.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/democrats-are-drafting-a-proposal-for-5-billion-for-border-security-with-‘no-new-structures’-no-wall-to-end-shutdown.95245/page-23#post-17177095

These dudes are crazy as fuck

[benjipwns]

That's the same guy who said the Democrats were the "genocidal maniac" party.

[benjipwns]

ICE (as you put it, a murderous organization). Theyre a modern day American gestapo separating families with minimal oversight.

I bet none of these dudes even thought about ICE before the last year.

Let alone know the best ICE story:
ICE used to be the INS or Customs, but DHS reorganized everything and renamed them. This was shortly before Katrina. So ICE heads down to New Orleans and is running around in their spiffy new jackets. But people kept coming up and harassing them thinking they had ice to give out. So they all put their old INS or Customs jackets back on.

[benjipwns]

I mean this without snark: Thank you for pointing it out, as you honestly didn't need to. But I had seen that bit. I'm assuming the judges would be Republicans themselves, which is why I didn't consider them as a good thing and a part of the whole 'harming immigrants' thing I'm against, as of course they're just going to deport people even if all they did was, again, cross an imaginary line in the sand. If they'd be nonpartisan, I agree that would be fine. But I'm finding it harder and harder to trust the establishment, partcularly GOP backed establisment, all the time. I also assume all 5b of that would not go to judges, anyway.

lol he thinks immigration judges are like standard court judges and not just a glorified name for bureaucratic paper pushers from DoJ

also he seems to think they're just giving $5 billion in free money, not like...appropriating every inch of it

https://www.resetera.com/threads/anyone-ever-use-skullcap-for-anxiety.95366/

It's an herb that can either be smoked or made into tea or extract. Fairly common and cheap I'm starting to hear great things about it but I'm only an amateur herbalist at best. Good for blood pressure and insomnia too!

Disclaimer: I don't have an issue with anxiety so the tea I made didnt really effect me it was good though.

For the record the other herbs and such I use work like a charm. From Horny Goat Weed to Golden Seal so I have the idea this may also be that good.

this all sounds like a white people thing

[benjipwns]

The thing is I don't trust Trump to use it for such things. It won't be used on the border patrol, but on ICE.

I mean I'm glad you all have faith that this won't be used to build tensions at the border, but I just don't. I can't see how it won't. Trump and the GOP have proven themselves snakes over and over again that even if the Dems are doing this totally in good faith thinking this will HELP immigrants, the right will just twist it to their own designs.

Maybe I just need to take a break from or leave this thread because I'm honestly on the verge of an anxiety attack here. Just please, consider the negative consequences of this given who they're giving the money to with the only apparent condition being "no new structures". Because if they are baking in the judges and such into the proposal, the article nor the gentleman's statements made that remotely clear.

[Mr. Nobody]

Oh, he lives in a Trump Tower.

I'm not doxxing ok, he posted it in the thread.

I'm pretty sure he's posted photos of his place in multiple threads this year alone.  Including the inside of the fridge.    The place itself is amazing but there's barely anything inside and it appears to be just one tiny bedroom.  If you take away the view, there's not much there.  Very different from the people he's trying to emulate like Chittagong.    Still not gonna hate on that because if you can do something so minimalist, more power to you- there's just no personality there whatsoever.

Skylines are about a combination of everything, from:

Architecture of buildings
Cityscape
Placement of buildings
Surrounding Nature Elements
Synergy between cityscape and nature elements.

When you take all those elements, I think Vancouver comes ahead.


San Fran loses due to NIMBY having too much power there to prevent them from building up enough. In my opinion.

it's totally a fetish isn't it

[benjipwns]

But my point is that skylines are not about individual buildings architectures but how the architecture of all buildings compliment each other. There's beauty in the uniformity.

As far for the nothing special? Here's an example of an upcoming building winning world awards in architecture:

https://www.worldarchitecturefestival.com/waf-2015-winners

And it will compliment the skyline unlike some of those buildings in Shanghai.

[benjipwns]

Much cheaper than a house. My 1 bedroom condo is $500k. Equivalent lifestyle (view, building quality, area) for a house would be like $3-4m in Vancouver

I like having space; you can take my lawn but not my billiards room.

Many buildings have large shared rec rooms with things like billiards (mine is on the 43rd floor of a building with amazing views), or you are usually close to things like a local pub being in a dense area? Is it a situation where you don't want to be around people?

[benjipwns]

I completely agree that big cities are the best. I've lived in the country (on five acres, with no neighbours or roads I could see or hear) and I hated it. I felt trapped. The clean air and birds were great, but when I got tired of them, it was like an hour drive before I could get to a bookstore, movie theatre, or decent restaurant.

I was surrounded by hicks. I needed gallons of poison to keep the bugs and weeds from taking the place over. My cat got eaten by coyotes.

City life for me.

I'm the opposite. Lived in all the big cities for all my life - Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, etc.

Fucking sick of it. Loving my backwards-ass country life right now. I can see the stars and the Milky Way - holy shit! And I can breathe deeply and feel clean air! Never experienced anything like it.

That's why I get a cottage on a lake for a week or two in the summers.

Do you have kids? Wouldn't you worry that they grow up and turn into hicks or rednecks?
