New York City killed outdoor dining and has stopped bus lanes in the name of saving street parking. Yet on Park Avenue, cars park for a week at a time without being used. (sh.itjust.works)

I saw a guy with a shirt once that said something like "street parking is theft" and I was really excited. Gave him two thumbs up and he was confused until he looked down at his shirt.

I'm that guy that always forgets what shirt I'm wearing when someone says "nice shirt". Gotta look down at my chest. I do like how universal this types of quick interactions are with strangers. Something wholesome about it.

I actually strategically wear Mario Bros. shirts when I'm meeting new people, since that's a fandom that is largely universal and people always seem really happy to see them.

Good idea. I should get a Luigi shirt and I'll get dual fandoms.
