I think you're correct, if Trump orchestrates all of that (Sliwa and Adams both dropping out) without explicitly endorsing, that could be a threat. But Trump is toxic waste in NYC. Of course everywhere has their share of assholes, but NYers have a long memory for crises specifically. Trump deliberately targeted them during covid, bragged about his building height during 9/11, I could go on. They hate his guts way more than they hate Cuomo.

Not the joke bridge, ai yi yi

I can't think of anything more campaign sinking than an endorsement from Trump in an NYC mayoral race (that Cuomo already lost within his own proported party).

Recycling plastics specifically. Aluminum recycles amazingly well, and glass decently, so keep recycling those!

I don't know if you're correct or not but regardless, this argument definitely sounds like that doctor who told John Green it's not normal to sneeze

There's not a panecea to fascism through minority democratic process. Gumming up the works is the most they can do within the system.

Fuck that guy- if you see someone collecting signatures for this, give them an earful!

I agree with the general trend of advice in this thread, but I'm going to go one step further: monetizing your hobbies is a very good way to get burnt out on those hobbies. Finding good work that you enjoy is important! But you should also have some things that are just for you.

Some people are asexual but not aromantic, and some people can't have sex due to medical issues, so there are plenty of people out there who separate these! A lot of folks do experience them as entangled experiences, and that's fine too. What's important is finding what parts work for you, and a partner that is compatible with that if applicable.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to argue that "real" name doesn't mean "legal" name (unless stated elsewhere in the agreement). "Real" should refer to non-fraudulent, not a pseudonym, etc. A trans person's "preferred" name is their real name for these purposes. I hope this youtuber gets this decision reversed asap.

Hello! USAmerican here, studying mainly French y un poco español, and I definitely hear your frustrations. English is several languages disguised as one, and I can't imagine picking it up as a second language! It's really unfortunate that it's so ubiquitous online.

Coming from the other side of things, gendering in language does feel very strange. What does it matter to me if the dog is male or female? Unless I'm looking up close, I probably don't even know for sure. And even less so for nouns that are genderless in English. In learning romance languages, I was always taught to default to male (which can also be true in English in many cases) but that also feels like priming the mind to make male experience the default and female the secondary, you know?

Also, for they/them, this is very commonly used as a singular in English outside of specifically nonbinary people, usually when you don't know the gender of the person in question. An example might be, "someone left you a note, but they didn't sign it." I believe this has recorded usage back to Shakespeare's writings!
