    NYC has a special place in this man’s shriveled heart, he’s been wanting validation and respect from it but never received it. Since he couldn’t get an ass-kisser in power, the next best thing is to try to make himself look good by helping Mamdani’s agenda.

    But honestly, if Mamdani proves that socialism works in NYC, I care about that a lot more than how much credit Trump will ultimately get from it.









  • I think much of the gatekeeping is over concern that if you mess up, you could unknowingly be allowing a sophisticated hacker to access all the data on your network, without any obvious signs. And maybe some people don’t want to field noob questions like “I clicked something and now the GUI gives a 😕 and doesn’t work anymore, what do I do?”.
