LMFAO did you even read your own comment??????

Tell me more about local hero George Floyd.

Absolute retardation.

Zero self-awareness. Incredible.

Governments and the polities they govern are like container ships. It takes a long time to change course even after the decision is made. Sadly, in SF, the damage has already been done and it won't be undone by recalling a single DA or merely proposing to fund public safety.

Nice anecdote. Have you heard the one about the tech CTO that got stabbed to death? We have data about this too and it's very much trending in the wrong direction.

If you're tired of arguing with people who are begging you to care about their lives, you can always just remain silent.

Not necessarily. Depends on the race of the victim. Nobody gave a flying fuck about Tony Timpa.

The "small local gym" sure was pulling some corporate B.S. on their supposed "neighbor".

This is a simplistic take. European and East Asian democracies build infrastructure far faster and cheaper than the U.S. Often with even more stringent safety regulations and higher standards of quality.

The question we are tasked with answering is: why?

Facebook most certainly changed the world. The result was not good from my perspective. You can justify phrases like "social good" in a lot of different ways. Which is why you should always be skeptical of such claims.

You trotted out the most tired New Yorker meme of all time. "Chicago pizza isn't real pizza, it's pie". Despite the fact that the headline of TFA is clearly about thin crust pizza. How lazy can you be? You absolutely offered an uninformed opinion in the form of a wall of text like you often do on this website. Your attempt to pretend you didn't is pathetic.

The general reputation of New Yorkers in every corner of this country is highly negative. It's well deserved and you're exemplary.

While there are many international institutions in NYC, the citizens are by and large provincial navel-gazers.

You unironically think that NYC invented slicing pizza, and you referred to it as "innovation". We're having a good belly laugh about this one at the bar.

He walked right into it Thomas. Every Chicagoan knows exactly what I'm talking about. Including you.

> You’re being snotty about people trying to answer your questions

One of many bad habits I picked up from the locals in NYC. Working on it.

These are all Neopolitan style. I've had Grimaldi's and Lucali and enjoyed them.

I asked about a New York slice, which is a style of pizza that people rave on and on about, and has been cargo-culted across the U.S., but one I've never been particularly impressed with. Especially when compared to Chicago tavern style or deep dish.

Where, in your opinion, can I get the ideal New York slice?

Sounds like a smart decision. A lot of people care about this and would like input. So much so that they will work for free. I fail to see why this is an issue from Musk's perspective or from mine as a Twitter user.

Agreed. Manhattan and north Brooklyn are very different from the rest of the city.

The Chinese food in Flushing or Sunset Park is incredible, for example.

Manhattan is an absolute wasteland for authentic, cheap food. Queens and Brooklyn are much better. Some of the best food in the country there.

I appreciate the context you're adding here. I lived in NYC for the better part of a decade. I feel I got a good sampling of the pizza scene. This was in the 2010s though so I can't speak to how it was before that.

I still haven't found anything that beats a Lou's pan pizza.

Ezra Klein lost his credibility long ago. Sad. Vox is a rag.

Anyone here remember Wonkblog? I often miss the heady days of the early 2010's.

Funny how we thought we were living in tragic times back then after the 2008 financial crisis. And sure, we were. But there was so much more in store for us, wasn't there?
