On Saturday, Borough President Antonio Reynoso and I visited the Summer Street on Eastern Parkway and were asked: where did we fall in love *with* NYC? And where did we fall in love *in* NYC? What are your answers?

For real, for some reason TV/the news decided to take the equal time rule to apply to more than just political candidates. If there is a conspiracy about anything, it has to have equal time as the truth... such nonsense. And then politicians take these stances and help spread them like the plague.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

I believe the bar is having Congress and the Supreme Court stacked in your favour. The three branches are supposed to be the checks and balances for one another.

Absolutely no one in charge of anything important is living in reality. Itโs a social & religious psychosis that is over riding reality & devoid of compassionate action & reality based science; leaving sane citizens to suffer the outcome of laws, beliefs & systems of others that are imaginary.

Same with Maine. I'm unsure if you play much the way of video games but Bar Harbor was depicted in Fallout 4, and they got none of the accents correct. Honestly I just feel like it is true for all of New England, everyone is too used to the generic American accent in movie/tv or on the news.

I think the idea is being glad there is opposition to the administration regardless of seeing eye to eye on everything. To see more and more people in the spotlight, going after Trump and his admin, and not just people but people that hold some sort of power. I think that is what people are praising

Joke answer: Transmission Maintenance Real answer(s): Gender Alignment or Gender Realignment. Perhaps Gender Reunification, although that one sounds transphobic so maybe not. Gender Restructure, now I just sound like I'm trying to put business bro lingo in here, sorry. Gender Coordination?

Putting away the shopping cart is just a litmus test. It isn't part of any culture, it's just something people should do. Pick up your trash, put away your shopping carts, recycle when able, etc.

Great example, actually. "Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view" and "the truth is often what we make of it; you heard what you wanted to hear, believed what you wanted to believe." Thank you for that, genuinely.

From a certain perspective, isn't that what assisted dying is? Where in some places there are laws where someone can get medically assisted death because of terminal illnesses.

I'm sorry what? How am I wrong? Example: If I like Harry Potter and sail for all its media, then tell people how much I like it, even if I warn them of the bad of JK, but then they buy some of the HP stuff because of it, I contributed. If I don't tell people about liking it, they might not buy it.

It's about abusive men. It does not venerate murder, or spousal abuse. It shows the darkness of humanity. I also want to point out your comments about dogs/cats is already true in games. Not sure if you've say, played a Fallout game but dogs are often enemies.
Cuddle Cactus (@thecuddlecactus.bsky.social) reply parent
The ending of the game and the overall story is a trope in indie horror games as of late. The rat(s) being involved is also a trope about rats always knowing what really happened. The game is also designed to make you, the player, feel bad for your actions and at the end dislike the character.

The Steam page lists the content warnings, seems like an oversight if the pages you posted don't have them as well.
Cuddle Cactus (@thecuddlecactus.bsky.social) reply parent
But you can control your actions. If you don't talk about the content you sail for, then others don't learn about it from you. That's all I am saying, obtain the content but don't state to others anything positive about the content even with the caveat of the terrible artist.
Cuddle Cactus (@thecuddlecactus.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree but I feel like you can't promote their work even in that context. If you sail for it, but tell others you like the work, they might end up buying it. And then you've contributed to the artist, albeit indirectly.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but it is because of spices becoming widespread amongst the lower classes that the elites, especially in France, started to make gourmet food that tasted of itself and not so much of spices, right? Or I made that up in a fever dream, that's a very me thing to do.

www.britannica.com/story/why-do... It is a term that originated with the Brits. In fact a decent chunk of assumed Americanisms find their origins from the Brits.

I am simply speaking on how many students are not engaged in the current educational system. We need to encourage curiously, creativity, and a genuine love to learn. As it stands, the current system does not have that. Then come college they just see it as an obligation, sadly, not to actually learn
Cuddle Cactus (@thecuddlecactus.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes but the goal from the student's perspective isn't to learn but to get a passing grade, to get the degree. Because the degree helps on a resume to maybe not end up in poverty.
