I would be shocked if my friend surprised me with a dick pic, especially if she didn't realize it was on her phone. Sometimes I laugh when I'm shocked (it is a terrible reaction). And it would have nothing to do with what the pic looked like or who it was and everything to do with my friend being kind of a dumb ass. So, I hope it can take the some of edge off of this situation knowing their reaction was probably more towards your girlfriend and less about you.
This is such a an interesting, and completely different, problem. Sometimes it's lack of funding, sometimes it's poor management, sometimes it's something else all together. 🤷
Sorta... I mean there are CSAT scores that can be used and also customer churn. But deciding to not spend money to support your customers is totally a business decision.
I'm old so take this with a grain of salt. It is a combination of the best looking shoes not being the most comfortable and being told that women look best in heels.
There's a greater risk of negative consequences when people try to make a sweeping change, which Mamdani is trying to - especially if some of that sweeping change is not well tethered to reality. I'm not spun up about the tax thing. That piece will be fine, good even. But his ideas around grocery stores shows a huge ignorance about the mechanics (and therefore costs and how much the customer will actually save) of running stores. Fair collection isn't the biggest, or even a substantial, cause of delay to public buses. If he wants free buses, that should be the end of the discussion. Closing streets for kids to play has all sorts of impacts to residents (how will they move?) that appear to be unconsidered. Mamdani has displayed poor thinking and bad decision making already - which I think will continue into his term. He is the best candidate, but not a good candidate.
And he'll totally win the election even with an alternative running against him. I'm saying he's gonna do a bad job in office and make the left look bad, while simultaneously not delivering on his political promises.
I wasn't clear. I'm not saying centrist candidates are a good idea. I'm saying it is incumbent on us to select strong left-leaning leadership because the alternative can do more harm than good (ranging from being ineffective to outright divisive and undermining the movement). I want the left to be successful but it's like they looked around and chose the worst possible representation.
Sometimes a left leaning candidate is a great, effective leader (think AOC, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren). Sometimes they are bat shit (think Kshama Sawant). I'm not sure where his guy lands on the spectrum. But as voters, I think we have to look at the candidates through a critical lens and remember left-leaning doesn't always make a great leader.
Nah, you aren't thinking big picture enough. A person is ONLY valuable if they reach adulthood with chronic conditions. They need their customers to survive childhood.
Haha! I need a vacation...
