Priced from $26,795, this is the ILX that screams “compromise” at the top of its little 2-liter lungs, with standard cloth seats and just 150 breathless horses from a version of the Civic engine.

hey, in the interest of fair play, i read that article about the girl tavi who had the fashion blog and now has the rookie site and she seems cool and her site looks great and smart.
don't want to hate every young person in the new york times. makes me feel bad.
"in the spirit of sassy magazine" is always a good move. plus, john waters loves her and that's good enough for me.
wish more websites looked like the rookie site for real! so easy to read and navigate and pleasant to look at.

LONG ILX THREADS HATE THIS ONE SIMPLE TRICK:
1. Click on the Permalink of the message right after the cutoff.
2. The URL will now contain something like "bookmarkedmessageid=3669956"
3. Change that number to something smaller and you will be jumped back to an earlier point in the thread without loading the whole thing.

Which part didn't work? The only maybe tricky part is that if you don't make that number small enough, you won't get any older messages. And if you make that number too small you'll be at the first messages. Usually lowering it by thousands or ten-thousands is enough.

I did give the use of this thread a side eye since I thought we were against collective punishment.
Probably well intentioned but creating a dichotomy of "us" versus "them" is one of the stages of genocide.
Trying to recast food insecurity into some "business" narrative is probably not a great fit for this thread.
It's possible to want all the people to live, and for everyone to have enough to eat. I did not think that was controversial.

i don't disagree but also the entirety of the NYT is devoted to depicting the world as viewed by the ownership class. and so i sympathize with those who felt that you were suggesting that the farmers themselves ought to be the object of derision, since that's generally how this thread works

Irsay said he’d recently had hip surgery at the time, which made it difficult for him to walk and required him to take prescribed medications. He told her he pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor because he just wanted to get it over with.Irsay went on to accuse the Indianapolis suburb’s Carmel Police Department of profiling him. . . . “If I’m just the average guy down the block, they’re not pulling me in, of course not.”

I think the thing that has changed the pedestrian safety dynamic in NYC is the ubiquity of delivery people on e-bikes. Maybe it's classist to point this out?

The Best Part of Tiny Living? The ‘Freedom We Have Created for Ourselves.’With a little house in The Hague, a compact getaway on the Italian island of Sardinia and a well-designed camper van, who needs a conventional home
When the renovation was finished, the couple were so pleased with their new compact living space, its proximity to the beach and its friendly neighborhood that they arrived at an unexpected conclusion: They wanted to live there all the time.“That’s how the downsizing started,” Ms. Wassenaar said. “We started living in the small place and renting out the bigger home in the posh neighborhood.”Before long, Mr. Losonsky, who had bought the couple’s old apartment before meeting Ms. Wassenaar and had paid off the mortgage, came to another realization: With rent coming in and few expenses, he no longer needed to work. He retired in late 2019, just before turning 50.
