Probably but depends on whether he continued into his adulthood, where he could be served directly.

B-but you’re doing a Death Star…

Your colony leader’s estranged son is going to show on the opposite side of a raid and land a shot that nukes your whole gravship now.

Isn’t the engine vulnerable to mortars in that shield setup?

I’m not knowledge about the strategies behind politics, so I’m not sure what would be lost (besides good will from mainstay Democrats for daring to give voters more choices in a primary) by having Ossé run. I can’t tell if Mamdani explains that in the full address that the article picked quotes from. The article doesn’t even pretend to have the idea that more context might be wanted.

It feels like this article was formulated to make it seem like Mamdani is singularly and proactively trying squash other upstarts in the Democratic Party. But the article goes on to say that AOC also spoke out against the primary (still unsure why).

I know some of it is the SEO of Mamdani trending but you can’t do media and pretend to be ignorant of optics. Especially when you churn out such an insufficient piece of writing.

Not a fan of the headline or the article.

Yeah, every country that is a world power now is looking down from a mountain of ravaged bodies.

America is only the latest, and doing so in an era where the victims can livestream back the atrocities committed in the name of the country’s “empire”.

Herself. We don’t accept that kind of negative self-talk here.

Throughout history? Whose?

The USA’s international opinion has been on the downtrend for like 20 years, with its precipitous drop like 10 years ago.

It’s not the '90s anymore; the only people pushing American exceptionalism are ignoramuses and jingoists who will do that regardless of any facts, not normal citizens.

You also didn’t hear about it because it’s not great. I watched a stream of it: the gameplay looks uninspired, like a student project to mimic Burnout, and the visuals would have looked dated in 2010.

But it was functional. So it’s neither good nor bad enough to rave about. You just say “huh”, flip a coin, and either uninstall forever or play every 7 months when you remember it’s on your hard drive.

You got sources for that?

My point is he talked about tackling rampantly increasing rent prices, not making it easier to buy houses in NYC. There is not a feasible way he can make those multi-million dollar homes affordable for the types of people he spoke of helping afford rent in the city.

So rich people buying luxury homes (that seem to already exist) is outside the purview of his campaign promises, and don’t reflect on him much except to say “rich people are also interested in Mamdani’s future NYC.”

These are house sales, not rentals.

“Believe in round or die, flatter!”

“Tiktok” is when people use media old people can’t be arsed to learn about.

This is all media, new and old, that they aren’t already using.

I’m unfamiliar with Dostoevsky. In the work this is from, he is making a called-shot about humanity?

The only way to salvage it is to have the next comic criticize the name “vibe spelling” only to find out the AI-vian also suggested the name.

BREAKING NEWS: “Fun” CEO beaten to death with frozen pizzas. The pizzas were delivered warm, so the police suspect premeditated intent in freezing the pizzas for use as a blunt, deadly instrument. The CEO’s customary grave-pissing will start, contingent on finding a suitable ditch.

I think I understand this position, such that you don’t want people focusing on removing the oligarchs without also dismantling the machine that makes them.

But the machine doesn’t have to crush orphans. It gives you a pat on the head and hands you a cookie each time you do crush an orphan but it has other settings. They aren’t getting punished for not exploiting the system, they just don’t get as much of a reward as they could. No one gets to say “I had no choice but to crush that 99th orphan, so I could get that 99th cookie.” You could’ve stopped at 90, or 50, or 1.

They are exploiting a broken machine, to the detriment of others, for their own benefit. That is nothing but greed.

Don’t worry I don’t expect Democrats to do anything even vaguely resembling vertebrate work. Just keep inching along, you worms, and get replaced by a functional, good government.

I’m just so tired…

There is a functional product. I played it years ago.

But it ain’t finished yet, which is the insane bit given the breadth of funds and length of time.
