By Gef the Talking Mongoose on Don't Give The MTA That Metrocard Dollar!
@stuffisthings : The DC metro is basically a subway system dropped from an alternate universe where humans consume no food and produce no waste, carpeting is a perfectly reasonable floor-covering for public transportation, and all escalators are outdoors because they work better in the rain.

I agree to a certain extent especially since I'm old enough to recall the pre-Internet era. Anything is what you choose to make of it. But most people aren't encourage to make that choice -- they are supposed to just be passive consumers of the latest thing. What really bothers me is the reification, if you will, of things that used to be available for free and were merely part of ordinary life -- these things are now sold to us by a corporate entity under the guise of "connect with friends" "live a better life." By implication, any time not spent on the Net is valueless because it's of benefit to no one since no profit can be made off it.

His neighbor, Mark Rachesky, another billionaire hedge fund founder . . . . Chris Shumway, who closed his $8 billion hedge fund two years ago . . . ."
Christ, what a hole of ass.

@s. I am jealous of future me because he gets to drink the bourbon that is sitting with the rest of my lunchtime shopping, and I have to work on Excel spreadsheets for the next few hours.

And what do we know about nocturnal creatures seen during the day? Probably has rabies.

Ummm, also, LW1, you might want to start sorting out the snoopy behavior. I'm not supporting this bro's actions, but you need to stop that.
