figured i'd crystallize this thread into an actual meme
at present I am learning about transit scheduling at work, and how to play guilty gear strive in my free time,
and based on my very cursory understanding of the two, transit scheduling and fighting games appear to have more in common than you'd expect lol

I recently learned about a Japanese guy who runs a philly cheesesteak restaurant in tokyo and has done multiple Research Trips to the states to perfect his Craft
and I’m obsessed with the fact that he’s basically just a Weeb specifically for Philadelphia
for every western weeb I feel like there is a japanese guy who is like no I'm gonna be a cowboy now, I love jamaican dancehall more than anything in the world, I am going to go fight in the soviet-afghan war.

not gonna lie, as a woman and longtime hater of astrology, I deeply resent astrology’s contemporary rebrand as this special space of sanctity and reprieve for women and queer people, which inevitably has the effect of putting it above criticism
The people who are QTing this are mostly men mocking women for enjoying astrology. Once again, mocking women for enjoying things is an entry point to misogyny and gross. If you're a man and your first reaction is to mock women as a whole for enjoying astrology, that's a problem.

But imo astrology at best is a bunch of silly stories about your birth date + at worst a gateway to harmful pseudoscientific woo-y practices, and shouldn’t be protected from critique bc some women like it

seen in NUMTOT: a surprisingly smart idea for rebranding bus lanes?
22
84
627
for some reason drivers conveniently like to forget the fact that obeying red lights, driving at the speed limit, and not driving in the bus lane all cost exactly $0.00
A lot of people are opposed to red light cameras because they perceive them as a cash grab - as if they aren’t in control of stopping on time, as if compromising safety is less concerning than letting drivers continue to break the law.

I truly cannot fathom being the type of person who regularly Ubers short distances, not only because I genuinely enjoy walking places, but because that shit gets expensive sooooo quickly like why would you set so much money on fire just to save like 5-10 minutes?
It’s actually terrifying how resistant able bodied people have become to walking reasonable distances, even when in a walkable area. It is not normal to live your life Ubering less than a mile.

back in college I did a term paper on gentrification and the arts scene in Bridgeport (in Chicago), and I remember interviewing a longtime Latino resident who essentially told me “people who own homes here love gentrification bc it means they can finally cash out!”
If you really want to watch the NIMBY left lose their mind, point out that the long time homeowners in gentrifying neighborhoods are able to sell and cash out, and then go do something awesome.

a friend once said that rent control is a consumer protection policy rather than an affordable housing policy, and that’s p much where I’ve landed
I live in a rent controlled apartment - which rules bc my rent can’t get that much worse - but it wasn’t exactly cheap to begin with
So many activists will talk about the problems caused by high housing costs but when you ask what policies they support to bring down costs they say things like For Cause Eviction and Rent Control/Stabilization.
Policies that, while good, do nothing to bring down housing costs!

I fully believe that if you wanted to a Create a city with just, equitable housing policies from scratch, doing the exact opposite of nearly everything SF has done in the past century or so would give you a good start
you could not invent a combination of housing policies worse than San Francisco's if you tried. everyone who does not live in San Francisco is aware of this in some form. and meanwhile these people are like "gosh it seems awfully risky to change anything"
