hoboken shop rite is out of carts, has plenty of food left though.

Granted I live in NJ so things could be wildly different across the river but most days there’s a handful of people middle class retirement age with signs that say welcome to fascism , etc standing outside our light rail station.

There’s a Chris rock joke about bullet control that applies here. Making a bot should cost $25000

just such loser shit

there is a law and order where for some reason they need to catch 50 pedophiles that have been creeping on a kids' website. But pedophile # 50 turns out to be mentally disabled. And about half the episode is them arguing over whether they should put him in jail anyway bc they promised 50 not 49.

re mpls, one thing that I think is becoming clear is that this approach won’t scale. ice is struggling in a relatively small, relatively spread out city. Imagine this in a denser place, not even NY but say Boston. its awful and scary but it looks more like a limit than a beginning

this is also just what ptas do - my kids school has a what’sapp group and recently there was an extensive convo about a pickup with a washing machine in its bed that was kinda falling out and whether that was dangerous around kids. If ice comes to JC ofc ppl will monitor it, wtf

definitely had a half dozen dilbert books, among others

going to probably butcher this but there's the idea of foucault's that a system being reformable is key to its never changing.

This, if you haven’t read it, is an enraging, strong profile of the American 16 year old imprisoned for maybe throwing a rock

often see my neighbors with a kid over their shoulder wailing and flailing their arms and think, yep

Other parents generally have your back. It’s cool!

Yeah it’s a good lesson in asking yourself: why do I feel this way and is it this persons fault?

My favorite parent thing is general parent solidarity. I see a guy with a screaming kid and I’m just: yep man Ive been there. It’s a really nice feeling.

Similar car ride hack, no matter what you see out the window, don’t tell your kids. They won’t see it and then they’ll cry “where’s the cow?!?” For the rest of the drive.

Idk, I try to assume that when someone asks for a swipe it’s because they need it

yeah which definitely limits the amount you can do. (I moved to JC a few years ago so I'm not really hitting 12 a week much, perils of having your own separate subway to connect to NY)

Only real loss is you can’t give someone a free swipe off your unlimited when exiting the station.

what if both the US president and the PM were so horny it created an international incident, the movie.

(just rewatched and this was my takeaway)

This ended up being a major issue in the JC mayoral election, with basically every candidate acknowledging that parking and traffic enforcement would go a long way to solving the city’s budget crisis (also, save lives)
