oh so you’re not really interested in solving the problem, my mistake!

We should build more housing, shelters, etc. We have plenty of resources we just don’t want to prioritize this.

fair point, which makes all the [certain, not all] "progressive" talking points aligning with them all the more frustrating

sorry, a frankenstein coalition of old homeowners and leftists getting by on just vibes thinks that will drive gentrification and make the city unaffordable, and for some reason politicians listen to them.

not enough hate for the gun stores here imo

you were lied to by a cop

yep

The cops benefit from their being no road rules because they like to speed, run reds, not pay tolls, park illegally, etc.

So you’re not trying to convince me to go vegan? What’s the point then? How are you actually helping animals? Seems like this is more about you feeling superior than actually making any change if you don’t actually care about converting people.

genuinely curious: have you ever convinced a single person to go vegan with this tactic?

sorry if you’re not doing exactly what I deem the correct thing to demonstrate care for animals, you’re not caring for animals.

I hope you’re out there with a ladder if you care about animals!!

If you have a better answer, please give it. Otherwise you simply cannot criticize this answer.

another snoozer! no one is claiming that they, specifically, would do better. they are saying she's not doing well. if you can't even participate in the same argument stop replying.

she has completely different things wrong with her

lol the most tired comeback possible.

you don’t have to be able to or want to do something to identify when someone it doing it badly.

like, I don’t want to defend Kathy Hochul. I wouldn’t be good at it. But I can definitively say you’re doing a bad job.

ok

yeah, I agree. which you would know if you were reading and not just looking for a fight

yeah you’re not listening

I don't think I can because I don't think you understand what I'm saying.

What she's doing with this character on-screen may be exactly what the director and writers want her to do with this character. That doesn't mean you or I have to think it creates a character that's fun to watch. If someone hires you to be an auto mechanic who breaks cars and you break all the cars you get, then you're still doing well at your job even though everyone will call you a bad mechanic.

you seem to be unable to separate acting from writing. she’s a bad character. she might be acting it well, but that’s still going to be unwatchable.

this. it’s a bad show with a lot of good ingredients and i think it comes down to this. the characters are not funny enough to be this unlikeable and the plots and stakes aren’t interesting when you don’t care who wins or loses.

Right, it’s not your job to figure out a solution, but for all the money the government spends subsidizing highways and gasoline they could divert even a fraction of that to transit construction and operations and serve way more people. That’s the mental shift we need but I doubt it will happen in time, if ever.

it’s a great question and just one more reason that just swapping every ice car to an electric car is going to be woefully inadequate to meet climate needs. we need to reduce the need for personal cars whenever and wherever possible, incentivize making them smaller and less power-hungry, and generally undo the horrific trends in car and truck design and marketing that have been going on for years.
