At least with the buildings I’m involved in, the bigger issue is the state removing any ability to raise rents on vacant rent-stabilized units
NYC housing law allows close to unlimited rent increases when apartments are vacant, especially if there are (however dubious) "improvements" made.
If your "issue" is "inability to endlessly profit off an investment in something that should never have been treated as a financial instrument in the first place", then get fucked. Otherwise, please explain.
The monument, in a Montgomery County community known for its synagogues, is dedicated to the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Schutzstaffel — the Nazi military branch often referred to simply as “the SS.”
Calling this sexual assault doesn’t help anyone, and actively harms victims of actual sexual violence.
what "actively harms victims of sexual violence" is gatekeeping the definition of it, and normalising nonconsensual intimate physical acts. maybe spend some time researching the "real rape" myth, and its impact on reporting, investigation, and conviction rates.
it's the only place I know where it's common to have your whole battery pack swapped out, much quicker than recharging a battery, and leaves the difficult job of battery maintenance up to professionals
my sibling in christ, the only reason for the use of "master race" is its Nazi history, that's the only cultural reference it is making.
and yes, i am someone that the Nazis would have tried to exterminate. are you? otherwise, consider the idea that it is not your place to be arguing in favor of jokes about Nazi ideology.
Yes, we can see he did that. Yes, she said that afterwards. She showed no signs of it at that moment.
please explain what kind of "sign" you are thinking of.
please then make an earnest attempt to empathise: you are in a public situation, your boss, who has an immense amount of control over your future career, makes an unwanted sexual advance. how confident do you feel enacting the "sign" in point #1
please then rate, on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is "not at all convincing" and 10 is "completely convincing", the "sign" in point #1, and the public statement after the fact that the kiss was not consensual, in terms of you believing that Hermoso did not consent. in rating the public statement after the fact, please bear in mind the risks of the public statement to Hermoso (including the lawsuit mentioned in this article, the potential career damage in point #2, and the potential harm that thhe player is likely to cause to people who have experienced sexual assault, were she to be discovered to have been lying about not consenting)
🦆 what's the name for the logical fallacy of incorrectly calling something "no true scotsman"
I wasn't making a generalisation about the identity of leftists, I was saying that "[PC enthusiasts using the term 'master race' to refer to themselves represents] no glorifying of Nazism" is not a leftwing position. this distinction is possible because "left wing" has definitions beyond just "what people who call themselves 'leftwing' think", like promoting social equality, and fighting entrenched hierarchies.
having some leftwing views (and taking leftwing actions, which, nice, thank you for your service, I've done a lot more than shout at someone, get teargassed, or go to a pride march, not saying you don't get an opinion though…) doesn't automatically make your support for using the term "master race" less rightwing.
anyway, "I'm as left as I fucking want to be" is a lot less ridiculous a thing to say than "I'm as left as they come".
The holocaust is genuinely a tragedy but the only thing connecting it and a joke about PC inferiority/superiority complex are only connected in your perspective
No, what's connecting the two is the use of term "master race", a literal piece of Nazi ideology... which also makes war crimes more than tangentially related.
If your "fun" is causing marginalised people to feel bad then you're punching down, and you need a better sense of humour.
it's enforced by road design, and in some cases our desire to not murder children with our cars. call me autistic (I am) but I follow speed limits in residential areas even if the road is designed like a formula 1 track
