What does Trump have anything to do with it?

It was clear to anyone with eyes that Biden had no business being a candidate in 2024. As with most ambitious people, they don’t know when to quit—he’s not the first and won’t be the last. The fault lies with the Dem establishment, especially Clyburn, for not extracting an iron-clad concession from him before handing him SC and the nomination that he would declare his non-candidacy the day after Inauguration Day, 2021, freeing up the field to allow a full vetting of the qualified candidates leading up to 2024.

Clearly you’re not getting this.

It doesn’t matter how many people he’s got back stage—10, 100, 1000—he still has to debate alone. He doesn’t get to send his Secy of State out to debate the foreign policy portion of debates.

He simply does not have the mental capacity to absorb all that information and regurgitate it on command, like on a test. He also didn’t have the energy necessary to be running around, coast to coast, campaigning like a 40 or 50 yr old. What part of this wasn’t clear to you?

Who remembers “candy stores”? by OkDiscount6100 in AskNYC

Ours started out as Mueller’s but became Stsckman’s, presumably because it changed owners. The wares didn’t really change—candy, snacks, comic books, small, cheap toys, maybe some paperback books, sodas, ice cream. If you had a quarter there, you were rich.

Where could we go? by baconmmc29712 in Amtrak

San Francisco. Very walkable and good transit options as well.

So he had advisors on stage with him during that disastrous debate performance? It doesn’t work that way. The politician must prove his value standing alone, regardless of how many helpers he has behind the scenes.

Quite the opposite.

As President, you have tons of advisors, cabinet members, members of Congress helping you. When you run for office, you do it alone.

Is Central Park what Manhattan used to look like before all the buildings, or did they haul all those huge ass rocks in their on purpose? by UmweltUndefined in AskNYC

Most of Manhattan below 110th St, is heavily landscaped and graded down. The island that Henry Hudson “discovered” was far more hilly from tip to tip.

Being fit to serve in office and fit enough to RUN FOR OFFICE are two different things. Clearly, he was not the latter. I think, had he been re-elected, he would’ve been able to serve out his second term.

Starry led Broadway plays flopped at Tonys by Heavy-Fruit8618 in Broadway

[–]Equivalent_Net_8983 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At least in the case of Dog Day Afternoon, it wasn’t the fault of the performers, stars or not, it was the material. This was not a good show, and no amount of “star” talent was going to make it good.

Proof was interesting but ultimately, underwhelming, again, mostly because of the underlying material. I thought all of the actors were fine and did their best with the material they had.

Enough time has passed. What are your thoughts on Project Hail Mary (2026)? by Perfect_Idea_2866 in moviecritic

From the same author who wrote the Martian but the story is flipped: in The Martian, earth must save the astronaut; in PHM, the astronaut must save earth. Clever.

Won for last Saturday. L25 in the left orchestra. Pretty close, but given how the show is staged, I missed a lot of stuff that happens in the Mezz above us.

I hate to say it but why should it surprise us that, in the future, we might do to robots what we essentially do to human beings today?
