At the very least it takes a concerted effort not to fall into segregated cliques. There are social groups that actually do tend to be more diverse but they tend to be considered outsiders. Like when I was younger the mix of teens hanging out at Chinatown Fair playing Capcom vs SNK 2 with each other was way less segregated on race and instead just a group of gamer geeks.

Kids migrate towards people they identify with most it happens everywhere. My wife went to a school that taught in English in India but the social groups split mostly on preferred languages from the outset and stayed that way all the way through. Kids that spoke Marathi were a clique, Hindi were a clique, Urdu another, and English it's own. So even within the same religion, castes and family wealth cliques formed and stayed based primarily on childhood language skills.

It's a lack of development which we can mostly blame on rich white people. Blaming Hispanic people is like folks blaming Koreans in LA in the 80s and early 90s. Mega wealthy slumlords like Donald Sterling were at the root of it then and they are at the root of the problem now.

Not that guy but Art and Mary's chips are the best. They did kettle chips way earlier than any other supermarket brand I know of and they are so good. In fact they are so good that even the salt free chips are poatato-y goodness.

Bit of a tangent but what are the rules around egress in JC. I'm on the third floor and I bought a fire escape ladder I can keep in my room after a downstairs neighbor fell asleep with food in the oven. Without the ladder firefighters would have to get into my backyard to even know I was needing help.

Correct, same claim that the RIAA/MPAA claim against people who download music. Just because the fare didn't happen didn't mean it was inevitable.

The moment got put a person in a car they lose a lot of the rationality they have. I'm guilty of getting upset mostly at other drivers in a way I wouldn't outside of a car too. But man some people are the fucking worst.

2 years ago they didn't close off Paulus Hook during 4th of July so the entire area became a giant traffic jam. At 2AM there were still people stuck in traffic and several of them kept honking their horns. It wasn't even like people weren't moving at a light or something, they were just 20 cars back waiting for people to take turns at the stop sign. I wanted to just throw a brick at some of the cars because what the fuck were they achieving with constant honking at 2AM.

I have a solution to all this if we could get buy in at the state level. My thought is that you should have a way for regular people to submit video of drivers doing something illegal, and anyone registered to drive that vehicle has to sit through boring ass lecture courses on responsible driving after a certain number of violations, after the class and more violations a driving test and after that a license suspension.

So many people have cameras on their car capable of getting evidence of illegal behavior, lets us have a way to snitch on these dipshits.

>it's the fault of humanity as a whole.

It's very much made worse by a small select group of giant assholes. Just the other day I told off a stupid ass soccer mom who was rolling quickly through every single stop sign in Paulus Hook including going past 2 schools in session. She didn't stop for people on corners walking, cars already stopped at other stop signs already, etc.

She is a serious danger to everyone especially children and if I see her roll through stop signs again I will 100% publicly shame her on repeat since I know where she parks.

There is also an Apple Store in WTC. I think it would actually take me more time to go to the mall then to just go to WTC. Though sales tax is lower in NJ which on Apple is not inconsequential.

The real crux of it is population density. When you live somewhere with 10 times as many people in a small area, then you're far more likely to run across shit people.

You can watch the video it's not 3 seconds, regardless in NYC(the nearest I can find actual stats for) less than a third of drivers in fatal accidents with cyclists/pedestrians are even charged let alone convicted of anything. Our society has decided the privileges of incompetent drivers supercede the lives of pedestrians and cyclists. I seriously doubt the cyclist will convince a jury to award him anything.

We're not arguing whether or not she did the right thing after the fact. She had a second or two at the most to react from the time he appeared from behind the parked cars on the street. I don't think many civil juries would say that given the circumstances that she was at fault for the accident.

Amy is a piece of shit but he came out from behind stopped cars, it'd be hard to convince a reasonable person that she could have reasonably avoided the accident.

>This should be remarkably easy to do.

We're a machine state. The rules in place require us to wait until a significant portion of her term is already up then we have to get 42,000 signatures from registered voters(28% of registered voters). For reference the combined voters in 2021 were just over 42k.

Since there is a hard cap per country for work based stuff I imagine it's worst for developing countries with the largest populations like Brazil, India, and China.

Scam marriages happen but I wouldn't call them common either. Even if you look at unidentified "government success" at Murdoch run outlets they claim at most around 25% which is a lot but I'd guess "government source" includes actual fraudsters like Paxton and Trump.

I'd guess those people are just assuming that all marriages that ends within 2 years of the green card being issued are fraud that's the only way to get numbers that high. It's worth noting that divorces of people with green cards via marriage are on par with regular old marriages up until 5-6 years then they have a significantly lower divorce rate than the general population.

Basically I'd say while sham marriages aren't rare they are what I'd consider uncommon since they tend to outlast non-greencard marriages overall.

Speed bumps everywhere. I'd like to see them bottom out a dozen times trying to do 0-60.

Is it flooding further into Paulus Hook. Left my car there before going to family for the holiday, wondering if I should worry about my car.

If it's like a satay it could be alright.

James Dolan has enough money to force people to sit through his shitty music as an opener for bands like the Eagles and the Rolling Stones. He'll buy as many lawyers as he needs to, to fuck over anyone that tries.

Which is totally valid though I doubt there isn't a conflict on interest in Essex County either given her family.

100% do this if you go into the city at all. I live in JC and occasionally bring gear into the city for work and it saves way more than any tolls I pay in NJ.

I hate that Brits and Aussies say spagbol it just makes the dish sound awful.

You are inferring a lot of erroneous stuff from that guys comment. He's basically saying women through most of history have delivered babies unassisted by modern doctors, but that doesn't mean some prehistoric woman is qualified to dole out opioids.
