So I get proof of income for renting. But 3x seems ridiculously high. It certainly wasn't that high the first time. -- nm* - Qale Aug 10, 09:46 2
- The general rule you hear in NYC is annual salary = 40x your monthly rent - ty97 Aug 10, 09:50 1

So I'm watching Olympic mountain biking and part of their course goes through the Joren Forest or, as the announcer pronounces it, the Urine Forest. -- nm - Mop Aug 10, 09:44 1
- You're in the forest now -- nm - rollo Aug 10, 09:46
Would you say that this is an accurate definition of the current western political spectrum? - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:41 13
- fixed it for you - oblique Aug 10, 09:48 1
  - Thanks, appreciated. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:50
- You're missing anarchists and whoever the fuck calls people "tankies" unironically. -- nm* - Qale Aug 10, 09:47 1
  - that would require a third dimension -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:52
- where's proegressive/socialist/deomcratic socialist -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 09:45 1
  - social democracy is just below liberal in my list, I would think -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:51
- Neoliberal should perhaps be on the other side of centrist, if included at all. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 10, 09:43 6
  - I was thinking that as I wrote it, but I kept it where it was because of the inherent amorality of centrism. -- (edited) - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:53 5
    - People in the middle are amoral? Whoo boy. -- nm - spamlet Aug 10, 10:09 4
      - In the sense of centrism does not take a moral stance and asserts that all views and opinions are equally valid, is my guess. - znufrii Aug 10, 10:14 3
        
        That's ... not a feature of centrism I'm familiar with. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 10:16 2
        
        If you view neofascism and liberalism as both having good ideas, that sounds amoral to me -- nm* - Beryllium Aug 10, 10:57 1
        
        Again, not a feature of centrism I'm familiar with. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 11:07

  - Fan Expo puts on good shows. I see lots of creators and guests are dropping out of Megacon -- nm - Remlik Aug 10, 09:31 5
    - Yup. People are complaining that they should postpone (again). "you're charging full price for less than half the content." - JaxSean Aug 10, 09:32 4
      - Indiana Comic Con still haven't announced any major guests. -- nm - Remlik Aug 10, 09:44
      - " last minute to announce cancelations" isn't that standard for Cons though? even when not in a pandemic -- nm - Epiphany Aug 10, 09:37 2
        
        volume, though -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:37 1

  - no magazines for decades -- nm - Remlik Aug 10, 09:26 4
    - So, they're shutting down operations entirely? -- nm - Mop Aug 10, 09:27 3
      - looks like. Gareb Shemus wasn't part of them at all for a long time and founded ACE conventions. -- nm* - Remlik Aug 10, 09:28 2
        
        Huh. From the looks of it, ACE conventions seems like real small potatoes. -- nm - Mop Aug 10, 09:47 1
        
        They're the 5-gallon bucket of conventions -- nm - rollo Aug 10, 10:05

  - nobody will miss him! -- nm - chicken daddy Aug 10, 09:32
  - see below -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:31
- Congrats to her! - Krusty Aug 10, 09:17 10
  - Yeah, let's hope she isn't able to use this to secure the primary in '22 b/c she's a total centrist -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 09:18 9
    - She would need to get much more well known in NYC. I'm pretty sure no one here knows much of anything about her. - Krusty Aug 10, 09:23 8
      - I think she actually lost (or just barely won) the NYC vote in the primary, upstate carried her. -- nm - Tim Aug 10, 09:33 3
        
        Got the numbers... - Krusty Aug 10, 09:48 1
        
        That's for the five boroughs. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 09:59
        
        I can't find a map or breakdown by counties. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 09:40
      - She has time to build awareness though now -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 09:28 3
        
        Less than a year as the primary is next spring. She has a lot of work to do both with the actual running of the state and getting more well known -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 10, 09:33 2
        
        Yeah, and Cuomo did carry her previously -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 09:41 1
        
        gah, so handsy -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:42

does this mean I can come back now? -- nm - chris cuomo Aug 10, 09:11 3
- Early on I saw him say he would not be reporting on the stuff due to conflict of interest. Did that change or something? -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:31 1

  - I guess he's not Matt Gaetz. -- nm - Diva Aug 10, 09:21 2
    - Cuomo should have just announced he was switching parties. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:36 1

  - yeah -- nm - prayformojo Aug 10, 09:15
  - Same. More’s coming. -- nm - spamlet Aug 10, 09:09
  - The way this speech started off it certainly sounded like he was going to fight to the end. I'm quite stunned right now. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 09:09 1
    - He had to wait till the newspapers started posting the Infrastructure bill passed to bury his announcement. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 10, 09:10
