Cannot possibly be the latter. This could be the new “you see a turtle on its back” for detecting non-human intelligence, if “he” means the latter.

Everything about that picture is so early ‘90s I want to put some low-fi laser effects on it.

This seems more complicated than necessary. The set-up that I think works best is similar, but simpler. Treat all income as fungible each month, and pay household expenses (mortgage, student loans, other debt service, taxes, household maintenance, groceries, etc... etc...) off the top. The remainder is split 50/50.…

Based on your name, I’m going to guess you’re a lawyer. It may be that you don’t fight very much about money because it’s not really a limiting factor in your life—people (including couples) fight over scarce resources.

I am shocked that this is not the lead comment. This is the most obvious explanation of the trend. Pedestrian fatalities are literally within single digits of where they were ten years ago, while auto fatalities are generally are down 25%.

In some neighborhoods, the story you told above about stringing along an empty house for a while and then recouping losses either on the deficiency judgment or from a bounce in prices works. In a large number of neighborhoods across the country, though, it didn’t and continues not to. Even pretty nice neighborhoods,…

Holding a house on the books is not cost-free. In fact, in neighborhoods with high foreclosure rates, it’s so costly that banks are abandoning the land, and local communities are absorbing direct costs (demolishing houses that become public health hazards) and indirect costs (increased crime from vacant buildings). If…

I guess he’s not a True Scotsman, either.

“Would not be president” does not equal “could not be a politician.” Obama is proof that, under the right circumstances, a person of color can now rise to the highest office in the land. It is undeniably possible—a thing that was not true until very recently.

Okay, you’re clearly trolling. I literally pointed out that ABOUT HALF of federal inmates are there for drugs. How does your source have anything to do with anything I said?

Were you literally unable to read 17 words into the post?

Reading comprehension is not a long suit for you, is it? Once more, with feeling: the vast majority of people locked up, including black people, are locked up in state prisons.

As a Sanders supporter, this coverage is absolutely eye-rollingly dumb.

He even said that “it was part of the problem.” I don’t think anyone denies, now, that harsher sentencing for crack was a bad idea, but the fact remains that the vast, overwhelming majority of people (including black people) in prison are in state prisons. They’re not there for federal offenses.

100% endorsed. I’m a Sanders supporter, but this is the correct answer. Electing Obama didn’t End Racism or anything like that, but it is proof that getting involved in the system can work. You can get elected and you can make a difference once you do.

Question: How many creases can be in a hood before the hood is “frilly”?

The Barclays Center is great. I lived in the neighborhood before it was built, and I live there now, and I’m a big fan. Even the weird rusty crashed flying saucer aesthetic has grown on me. The problem is what’s inside the Barclays Center.

The Knicks successfully alienated me over to the Nets, when they jumped across the river, and now I feel like God is punishing me for being a fairweather fan by making my new team even worse and more boring than my old team. Peace love and fire Billy King.

I assume it’s just for the “design,” not any part of the engineering. I’m not sure what we’re supposed to take away from the number—800 hours is a lot for somethings, but when spread across a team, it’s really not necessarily very long. 800 hours could be blindingly fast (10 people each working 80 hours for one week)…

They have stats like that. They just don’t go high enough to account for Curry.
