Just say “new york is in new England” this makes people from here irrationally angry and although I’ve lived here most of my life as someone from the midwest I don’t think I’ll ever understand why.
(it is very funny though… be subtle about it eg “New York, Hartford and other new england cities”)
@mfennvt No just complaining about how their dad “listens to country music”
@VoiceofDuum If not for all the hilarious nonsense I hear I’d refuse to teach them.
The way they categorize things is … remarkable.
@kevingranade and red hot chili peppers too I guess LMAO
they are from LA!
but the kid was like “yeah out west”
The theory is if there is a guitar and it’s “from out west” then it’s “country”
NYC children concern me sometimes.
A middle school student just tried to tell me “guns and roses” was “country music”

This is totally new to me and I’m mildly alarmed. It’s true that many ants are full of formic acid— is that an ingredient in yogurt??

She has accomplished so much for a little bug, she has traveled, founded an empire, helped with education, starred in many popular videos. Hard not to be a little envious.
@apodoxus why?
Saw the queen this morning when feeding the colony and she looks great! She’s almost five years old which is impressive for a little bug. Was busy laying eggs as ever. Such a handsome ant. 
@RachelThornSub it’s my attempt to mash up FOMO with FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt) as these keep coming up in conversations about bubbles.
Why are there no cute acronyms for “hype exhaustion?”
I guess markets run on fear?

in reference to your essay (which I liked) Potemkin villages aren’t all apocryphal. We had them in the South Bronx in the 80s. Neglectful landlords were persuaded to paint the brick walls that faced the freeways with fake curtains and windows to disguise the extremity of the disinvestment and population loss the Bronx was suffering at that moment. Of course now we are more inclined to paint them to seem abandoned to slow the building boom.
