I've driven a few times in Manhattan, but most of those times were on a Sunday - it was a different world. Ghost town is not an exaggeration. The one time it was a weekday, I was hauling a motorcycle trailer, and when I saw 2 parking spots in a row on 5th Ave, I couldn't resist stopping for an hour to walk around. Someone actually stopped to watch me parallel park. Must've been a tourist, New Yorkers don't stop for anything.
Reminds me of the time I worked at the Sears repair call center... A woman who lived on the island of Nantucket needed her washing machine repaired - Sears only went out there two days a week, and they were booked for a couple weeks, so of course she asked "what am I supposed to do until then?" I suggested a laundromat. "Have you seen the kind of people who go to the laundromat?" I said "yup, I'm there once a week." Was quite proud of myself, usually I don't think of the perfect response until minutes later...
I tend to agree that this is how it should be, that doesn't mean that's how it is. If you walk around with a T-shirt that says "kill all CEOs" along with where to find them, you're going to run into some trouble, despite being a similar situation- you're just giving instructions, it's up to the viewer what to do with them.
I'm still using the i7 I built up back in 2017 or so... Upgraded to SSD some years ago, will be upping the ram to 64gigs (max the mb can handle) in a few days when it arrives...
In my 20s, I (a guy) briefly dated a girl who was hopelessly infatuated with a gay guy. I guess technically it wasn't a triangle because the gay guy had a pretty serious boyfriend, so more of a quadrangle... She got in between them, got him drunk & got herself knocked up, he "did the right thing" and married her, had another kid, then they got divorced after he had an affair with a guy...
It's funny, I have her friended on Facebook, mostly because the drama is often entertaining, but I usually keep my comments to myself. When the divorce happened, she made this long post that basically said "woe is me, how could this have happened?" I couldn't resist responding with "maybe because you married a gay guy?"
Yes. Democrats alienating the people whose votes they need to win is absolutely a democrat problem.
