She stuck with him through the corruption and the cheating.

Why would you ever not need air support? Better question, was Marshall the “This looks like a job for Aquaman” character?

I understand why he’s a threat to them, I just don’t understand their battle strategy. Everything they do to attack him elevates his profile and makes actual Democrats suspicious of the oligarchs.

Sure, but again, he’s the mayor. He can’t set financial policy for the banks of the world. NYC has a huge administrative budget, but it ends at the five boroughs. He can’t be like “All UN delegates have to end all wars.” He has authority over city administrative issues, and it looks like Trump is going to go after him personally.

Important things happen in his city, and that makes him the most powerful mayor in the country. But that’s like being the tallest elementary school student. And the job is a career killer. The last NYC mayor to be elected to higher office was in 1869.

So much god-damned attention on a fucking mayoral race. Sure, it’s NYC, but he’s still just the mayor. Like they could have just ignored him and sapped the energy from his win, and then primaried him when his term was up.

It’s just further evidence that the Democratic leadership is entirely inept.

Someday, that old planter will become a fountain.

This is a good idea even if you don’t think they will do it. When they don’t do it, you can negotiate money back from the purchase to cover the cost of hiring a junk removal team. Then you can pocket the cash and do it yourself or you can pay someone else to do it.

I use ostensibly a lot lately. Seems like an appropriate word for our times.

That’s the level of copium I’ve been mainlining since his heel turn. Like I didn’t want McCormick in the primary, and I definitely didn’t want fucking Oz, but this is pretty bad.

I’m glad you have data, because I was just thinking that cultural attitudes towards tattoos and nudity don’t seem to be related, but I can’t prove that.

Are you saying those things don’t exist? I’m a white male, and I can acknowledge the privileges I have experienced without feeling responsibility for the injustice.

I feel like Fetterman knows his health is failing and he won’t run again, so he’s just selling out entirely. His initial support of Israel made sense with the demographics of Pennsylvania, but he’s gone too far to avoid losing in the next primary for anything statewide.

Not exactly. Like every good urban legend, there’s an element of truth to give it legs.

Tryptophan does metabolize into serotonin, some of which further metabolizes into melatonin, which can make you sleepy. But there isn’t more tryptophan in turkey than there is in other meats and some vegetables. It is an essential amino acid that you get from pretty much every meal that contains protein. Also, an overabundance of tryptophan doesn’t necessarily mean more seratonin or melatonin.

People get sleepy after eating a lot of turkey because their bellies are full of turkey (and probably stuffing and corn bread and mashed potatoes and gravy and pie and a few glasses of wine)

That’s actually a myth.

Except that’s not what they’re doing here. That might be the next step, but this is just reevaluating the recommended schedule of vaccines for children and adults. They are going to make it optional, and parents won’t be forced to vaccinate their kids to send them to public school. Most people will still get their kids vaccinated, but some communities won’t reach herd immunity levels and children will die.

From your lips to the ears of Elpis.

There will still be significant demand for childhood vaccines among people who aren’t vapid dipshits, and the price per dose will likely go up because people will be more desperate for them when all the outbreaks happen. Look at the demand for measles vaccines right now. 15 years ago, parents were like “Oh, yeah, I guess the kids probably need a booster maybe.” Now, those parents are like “Oh fuck, we need a measles booster because vapid dipshits are trying to kill everyone!”

I mean, it’s also entirely possible you’ve heard a failing magnetic drive, a humming battery, or a squeeky mechanical thing like brakes or bearings. Those are all strong indicators of a significant problem with the car, and should be fixed immediately. But if you hear it every time, as soon as the car starts moving in a parking lot, that’s the safety feature.

God that site is cancer on mobile.

Others have addressed your other questions, but I want to add that the “coil whine” that irritates you is probably the car’s slow-moving warning system. EVs are effectively silent at slow speeds because there is no engine noise or road noise, so they are required to make an annoying sound when maneuvering to get your attention. While it is an important safety feature, I agree some are very obnoxious.
