  • Mamdami is WFP (working families party) endorsed and they've been going to bat for him too in their newsletters. While 3rd party is more viable in NY its primarily in an endorsement type thing as candidates can run under multiple parties (thus listed multiple times on the same ballot) and you choose the party you vote for them under. Theoretically, this gives the 3rd party more sway in pushing policies but it is rarely straight 3rd party candidates. Unsure if the city has more 3rd parties I'm unaware of (there's Republican, Democrat, Conservative, and WFP).

  • I mean it's already happened/is happening. Plenty have refused to endorse and some have outright opposed him because of Israel and his skin color (see NY gov Hochul, Senator Schumer, and Senator Gillibrand). However, both AOC and Bernie have endorsed him. Unless Obama comes out against I'm not sure that what democrats outside of NY much less NYC say will really sway anyone more.

  • Yes, that's basically what we did in Iraq. It led to a 20y occupation, thousands of troops killed, hundreds of thousands to millions of civilian deaths, and several new terrorist organizations. It will cost the US alone about 8,000,000,000,000. Basically the entirety of cultural progress and then some was lost in a few months.

  • Nope, most researchers are still poor coders. Coding is a skill that takes time to learn if you even have someone who can check your shit (very rare). "Vibe coding"/using AI for research analytics is probably done and it is also probably shit.

    Pay is still shit.

  • Perfectly? In a language system different than your own. English to French/Spanish doesn't require these sounds. English to like Thai or Chinese has a lot.

    People learn new languages because you can get the ability back with training (hooray neurplasticity) but it is more difficult and takes longer.

  • Speaking Japanese honestly isn't too hard. Reading/writing Japanese is more difficult but is easier as you realize the complex Kanji are just combinations of simpler kanji and how those relate to meaning. Most of the sounds are also in English.

  • You get one experience getting something expensive/cared about stolen and it sticks with you. It's part of how our brains are wired.

    Just a few thieves in one area can quickly change a culture.

    When i was a kid no one in the neighborhood locked their house, garages would be left open. Then thefts started happening. Garages were closed, doors started being locked. The thieves were eventually caught (teenagers turned in by their parents) but the garages have stayed shut and houses locked and it's been a couple decades.

  • 27, and for now they're still just considered missing. It is possible they reached higher ground of some sort and just haven't been able to contact due to loss of electronics. In the other (unfortunately more likely) scenario their families would have to be informed before media reporting.

    1. Not the easiest thing to switch countries at least for MD/DOs. Only Canada and New Zealand accept US doctor qualifications (and not all specialities) without requiring additional training and sometimes repeating residency/fellowship.

    Many countries (US included) have had high demand for decades but still put a lot of obstacles in the way.

    Unsure about nurses.
