I'm just curious if you're getting involved in grassroots activism, promoting candidates you agree with, canvassing the neighborhood to try to drum up support, etc. Because these are the sorts of things that need to happen in order to produce a candidate you agree with. It's completely disienguous to put the entire onus of finding a candidate you agree with on other people.

I want you to vote. I care less about who you vote for than I do you voting at all. Exercising your civic right to choose your representation is a big deal, and I encourage you to stop getting mad at other people for not doing your own legwork, and instead get out there and promote a candidate you agree with. Hell, maybe you should run yourself. I don't know, but I do know that sitting around getting mad because you don't like the major candidates without doing anything about it gets us all nowhere.

I came across a very narrow, 5 story store in Japan, a bit off the beaten path in Akihabara, selling exclusively N scale model trains. They had a floor or two dedicated just to the models, another one for scenery, and at least one just for repair parts for your trains. It was really cool to get to see a store that was pretty clearly a passion project for the owner(s) apparently doing well, and filling quite the niche in the hobby (I imagine)

I spent about 6 months living in Japan in the last year, and had zero trouble getting Yen. There are plenty of ATMs around, especially inside the konbinis, and the fee was rarely more than $1 or $2. At the time, ¥10,000 cost me roughly $66. My debit card barely (if at all) stacked any foreign transaction fees, and I was able to pay for a fair amount of things with my credit card, again with zero foreign transaction fees.

I mean, 2 of the 3 pictures that show trays show the same trays. The rest are all takeout containers, which are the kind of consumable that makes sense to be just whatever Supply can requisition. And I'm more likely to believe different tray styles per class, I.e. submarines might have a more efficient (and therefore costlier) design for more cramped quarters that a carrier doesn't necessarily need.

$5 says that, if Mamdani were to pass on the ceremony because of this petition, 100% of the people who signed the petition would immediately start posting "Mamdani hates New Yorkers look he doesn't even support us on the anniversary of 9/11 he's a socialist weirdo and hates America" or some other shit like that. There's no winning with these wackjobs and it's pointless to even try
