That's exactly my point, since he can't run for President, even if he's governor of NY he's still not really a threat to the power structure of the country, even Senator. He'd be Bernie 2.0 but unable to run for President. Not saying he wouldn't be influencing politics but it's a massive card off the table if he can't run himself.

Timing wise odds are he'll be in NYC long enough for Chuck to be replaced by someone else for 40 years. Kirstin seems firmly in her seat, so I'd say he's most likely Governor after mayor, just a moonshot guess.

Yeah but he can't elevate nationally and that really limits his splash. If the right wing media keep hyping him up that increases his profile but ultimately he's still only the mayor, even if it is NYC, he's not eligible to run for President and that's where the real danger would be.

So you're looking at him maybe turning into Bernie 2.0 is he became a Senator but without the ability to run for President.

NYC Mayor is his top track, he wasn't born in the USA so that should limit his exposure nationally. He's a convenient strawman for the right so I'd say that keeps him safe but there are guns everywhere so who really knows.

It's a movie plot but I wish somehow hackers could inject random anti Trump memes on all phones just to see what happens.

The Alters has been insanely fun the last week or so. Pretty interesting science fiction space survival, resource gathering, base building. Some of the mechanics around quantum computing is quite unique.

It's worth diving into what they are classifying in this influencers group. They even point out that some of it offers helpful and genuine support. But it sounds like they would even consider a men's therapy or coaching business in this group, or even something like that Mankind Project. I am just guessing but that kind of group is a world away from the typical toxic manosphere stereotype.

The survey only involved like 950 people and it only defined it as, "the rich" which seems pretty vague. Given the survey also mentions Bezos and Musk it wouldn't surprise me if that is the group having too much on this survey, not humble millionaires like you and me.

Most modern US towns were basically founded about or after the time cars were invented. Or at least have experienced the vast amount of it's growth since the car was invented. So stores and shops, courthouses, post offices, etc have just been built all over the place.

I was under the impression Ross was still in a PhD program the first year, working at the museum seems like a gig for a PhD student. Worrying about the museum displays and stuff like that in season 1.

[–] ansiz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I mean they mentioned he and Chandler graduated in 1991, so if Ross got a PhD in 3 years that is probably a record, lol. I was always under the impression he was in a PhD program the first season of Friends and that's why he was working at the museum.

Chandler's job was just made to be some generic finance sector job, right? It's definitely possible even today, but he'd be working a lot more hours. You'd never see him on the show.

Ross being stable even as a PhD grad student seems a lot more unrealistic to me. He even loved on his own. But maybe it was family money.

It's because so many institutional investors own Tesla stock. Most of the big hedge funds and that kind of thing. At least that's what I've heard, but it makes sense to me.
