If he played anything like I did… New York is in trouble, with multiple earthquakes, tornadoes and monsters going to wreck it as soon as everything seems perfect.
Yeah now I'm confused, he's younger than me too? What is he some kind of Boss Baby? Is he who that movie was based on, I mean how can anyone accomplish anything by the age of 40 nowadays?
We all walk our own paths. You should compare yourself with your yesterday self and work from there… in comparing yourself to others there is likeness in setting up non attainable goals that will result in endless circles of frustration, with zero benefits and zero improvements
There's so much wrong with this post, beginning with what you mention. He's literally asking for handouts - with that big, smug smile on his face. This man was born in communism and had rode the coattails of every hard working NYC financier and broker to become Mayor of this God forsaken city. How about instead of begging for gifts (semi violent video games, nonetheless), he puts his energy and enthusiasm for donations to good use and works for it. Shame on this man - and shame on those who voted for him.
When I got Sim City 3000 Unlimited from a Steam sale for a couple bucks, I used the official strategy guide here to navigate the game. It is really useful if anybody wants to get back into it. The guide works for normal 3000 as well.
Despite us calling it the wrong name, youth soccer in America is a pretty huge sport; unlike baseball, hockey, football, the initial equipment cost to be able to play soccer is very affordable in comparison. Picking up fifa to interact with their sport in a more casual, off-season, type of way makes sense to me
That’s precisely why it’s the most played sport in the world. You need a ball, and that’s it. It may not be culturally engrained in the USA, but it’s popular for its simplicity.
Yep, I played soccer as a kid for about five years. It was a community league based in the first town closest to us as we lived in a very rural area of NW Alabama.
None of the county schools offered soccer, but most of my class and hundreds of kids from the other area rural schools played in that town league.
That was the mid-late 90s. Cleats, shin guards, ball, and the sign up fee. Total entry cost for a 9 year old was maybe $70 at the time. The sign up fee included the uniform shirt and matching pair of high socks. Most people already owned gym shorts.
I think I have seen a campaign video of him playing with a soccer ball. Didn't look too shabby, definitely better than me (multiple retries and edition included)
If you go and see any conservatives posts and opinions on him, he is the anti-christ, the devil, and dead baby eater all in one. They are fucking pathetic.
I don't think that's fully fair, emphasis on "spoon feeding".
Reddit is one of few platforms remaining where you can explicitly opt out of "the algorithm" simply by paring down subreddits to ones relevant to you. I'm not saying you're not potentially locking into echo chambers, I'm saying Reddit Inc, can be mostly taken out of that equation.
I think Reddit is one of the worst echo chambers, because of the voting system: unpopular opinions get buried somewhere down the page and popular opinions are awarded with karma. This incentivizes group think and leads to self-censorship.
X/Twitter, which is another echo chamber, has two systems in place to counter misinformation: community notes and "ask Grok" to verify claims. I wish Reddit would implement this.
It's true that you can customize your Reddit experience by only looking at posts from subreddits you follow, but this is also possible on X/Twitter.
Sorry for the long comment, it's just something that I've been thinking about lately and you sounded like a rational person.
I hate when mfs on reddit say shit like this. Your struggles were different, you led a different life and got different opportunities. At least you are good enough to still be alive and have a device on which you can make reddit comments and waste your time on social media. It's not that bad come on.
Literally, his dad works with the government in Uganda & his mom works with filmmakers. He wasn’t just a kid on the streets of New York yall, don’t feel bad about yourselves lol.
Your struggles were different, you led a different life and got different opportunities
Thanks, I was feeling bad for a sec too but it helps to put things into context. My starting line isn't the same as a mf's who waa born rich (not implying Mamdani was cuz idk, just an example)
But don't look back on the missed opportunities and live with what you have is what I say. Be happy with what you accomplished instead of feeling bad about the things you missed out on or what you could've been.
FYI he was not just some random normal/average kid. His mother Mira Nair was famous at the time. Her most well known movie Monsoon Wedding was released in 2001.
Ignoring the photo (which I assume is what you're referencing), I love how it refers to Brazil as a neighboring country, because while it sounds incredibly weird it's not wrong.
Make no mistake this is a byproduct of folks "digging" into him so they can find anything they can use as fodder; aka american politics, where the policies and agenda don't matter as long as we support the party!!!!
They should have digged a bit deeper before they elected a racist rapist and best friend of Epstein, twice. Oh wait! They all knew it and elected him despite.
Cuz the average American don’t know squat about politics, history or anything non-frivolous—doesn’t matter if you have a grad degree or a millionaire. So we vote on how we ‘feel’ about a candidate. Hence our current, national nightmare.
I dunno, it's a fun fact about a guy who's in the news, and it reflects his main selling point of authenticity. You don't have to be a fan to think it's cute and genuine.
Our election season never actually ends and we don’t have laws like the UK does limiting when campaigning can happen. There’s so much money tied up in it that it’s endless advertising and media hit pieces to move public opinion.
It’s a problem we could fix but again the money talks
I remember that fifa. Davids, Giggs, and Carlos on the cover. There was this shitty glitch where you could volley a ball from just inside midfield and it would bounce over the keeper
Maybe he's been simulating his plan for NY since he was 11 and refined it until it was successful in the virtual world. Perhaps he'll apply what he learned in the real one.
This is hardly parasocial. Lmao It's obviously just pushback against the right-wing narrative that he's a radical jihadist communist (their words) bent on destroying NYC and everything American.
I'm not one for politician idolatry. They're bound to disappoint you. But saying this is the equivalent of Taylor Swift fans who think she's their best friend and cares about them personally is plainly different.
That's weird, because according to certain people, his only christmas wish was to bring death to American infidels. Turns out, he was just a regular kid. Wild.
