I realize this is a weird thing to get caught up on, but I'm gonna guess they didnt have a car seat for that toddler, and that enrages me almost as much as their mere existence
The bigger problem IMO is the implication that a device/OS must have a defined "account holder" that is associated with an actual person with an age. Nevermind that there isn't any verification happening that could de-anonymize a user or be breached - as an administrator, am I responsible for ensuring users only use a specific account with the correct age identified? What about google or apple? Are devices meant for children to be locked down so that new users or accounts can't be created to circumvent restrictions?
This law is too vague to have any meaningful impact on child safety, and the implications behind it make future erosion of privacy far more likely.
I'm surprised that nobody has pointed out that top speed under load is very different than top speed free-spin. Most of those motors drop probably a third of their potential speed once you actually step on them.
What is the point of winning anything if you don't have any policy convictions? What is the point of people participating in democracy if you're constantly being told that the policies you need don't matter, you just need to vote for the candidate with the most charisma?
Why even use Mamdani if all that matters is personal affect? Democrats don't need to stretch the limits of the constitution to do that, they could just hire Paul Rudd or Jason Mamoa, put them in a suit and tie and shove them on stage at the convention.
Why do you consider this remotely unlikely, let alone impossible?
Because Trump is saying he will run as vice president, which is explicitly allowed. Mamdani literally has no plausible/legal pathway to either vice-president or president. The loophole trump is pointing do does not apply to Zorhan. I suppose he could technically run for House Representative and then get voted in as Speaker of the House, but at that point he'd be so far removed from presidency that nobody would buy into this conspiracy that "he's the real president so vote for this other figurehead instead."
You can’t just copy Mamdani’s platform and have an 80 year old white guy sell it, which is what the DNC would try to do.
The DNC would also not just go along with this hypothetical illegal presidential bid where Mamdani is shadow president with a figurehead at the top of the ticket. This is what I'm saying - this isn't just an impossible suggestion, it literally does not make sense.
Because politics is more about affect and personality than it is actual platforms
This is so much more of a self-report than I think you realize
Ok so Mamdani takes control of the DNC and dictates policy to a figurehead? How does he hold any authority? He can't be vice president either. Trump has floated the vice presidential loophole in order to serve a third term, but Mamdani doesn't meet the requirements for that for the same reason he can't be president.
Again - why not take what made Zorhan successful and apply it to a legitimate candidate? If the democrats are coordinating enough to somehow get Mamdani elected as a puppet-president, couldn't they also coordinate enough to just enact the type of platform he would support anyway?
This is so ridiculous, i'm not even sure you're being earnest. It's not just a matter of it not being a possible scenario, it's just not even coherent.
Why cant democrats just adopt the policies that make Zorhan so popular, rather than trying to run him as a shadow president or some fascist cult of personality bullshit?
Why the fuck did they start offering concessions and bargaining after they swept the state elections last week?
More evidence that moderates are not allies and are just as fearful of a leftward popular swing as the Republicans are.
