  • My (Italian) last name sounds exactly like a Cantonese insult.

    I found that out in HS, when working in my friends family’s Chinese Restaurant. Dude was my best friend for like 2 years prior, 1st generation, raised bilingual and immersed in both cultures…would think he’d tell me before the cooks.

    W/e at least I still got an envelope every Lunar New Year.








  • You have absolutely no idea how ranked choice or primaries work.

    Let’s suppose the Democrat primary has two progressives and one neolib. The progressives get 28% and 32% of the vote…a total of 60% of the vote. The one neolib gets 40%.

    Progressive policies are more popular, but neolib won.

    This is the curse of FPTP.

    Ranked choice would say that those 60% prefer one or the other progressive with the neolib being last. The result is theore popular progressive won, and more importantly, a progressive won.



  • Its an Adam Sandler song reference…“At a medium pace”.

    Imo peak Sandler music. Everyone remembers Lunch Lady Land and Thanksgiving and Chanukah Song because they are (mostly) family friendly and get played on the radio sometimes.

    At A Medium Pace will not get played on legit terrestrial radio. It is probably not family appropriate, unless your family has a traveling act called “The Aristocrats”. That’s that raunchy, cringey Sandler we all know and love and sorta miss but we know he’s too old to really do it anymore and it wouldn’t be genuine but he’s still pretty good in romcom settings.
