I’m tired of people trying to predict the presidential result from the municipal ones. It’s a completely different election type, with a different voting method and veeeery different stakes.

During the 2020 municipal elections, LR (“The Republicans”) had good results, but in the 2022 presidential election, their candidate Valérie Pécresse got less than 5% of votes in the first round.

To be fair, I doubt most Jews would have seen that as a safe place just after WW2…

I don’t know New York enough to answer. What’s special about Staten Island?

At home, I always heat the water in a saucepan on my stove. I only use a microwave when I’m making tea at the university, where it’s the only way I can get hot water. These microwaves are always a bit dirty because most students don’t clean after themselves, and I can’t fully enjoy my tea because it feels tainted.

OP, why post the text as images when you could have copied and pasted it? That makes it unaccessible to readers who depend on screen readers.

Yep; it made me smile when I realised. :-) It’s probably the only time something Gaza-related made me smile…

There are far-right people who actually give her that nickname here. Including one plausible presidential candidate.

There’s a reason prostitution is called “the world’s oldest profession”.

Yes, it’s because it’s a lazy, overused sentence that people like to quote without thinking. There’s no solid ground to claim that prostitution is the world’s oldest profession.

People have biological needs.

Those “biological needs” aren’t porn. You can masturbate without porn. You can fantasize without porn. You can have sex without porn. And so on.

I’m not saying that this is a good measure, but “teenagers are interested in sex” ⇒ “we shouldn’t restrict what sexual media teenagers have access to” isn’t a very sound argument.

legitimate porn sites

“Legitimate” porn sites are all full of things I really wish I hadn’t seen as a middle schooler who was barely starting to get curious about sex. Or even as a high schooler who was decidedly interested in sex, actually.

Missed the point.

He didn’t. You claimed that the left had “arrest[ed] people for saying that the covid “vaccination” didn’t stop people from catching, spreading, or dying from covid.” Do you or do you not have any evidence of such a thing happening? Since you completely evaded the subject in your answer, I’m guessing not.

Same thing in French. Doublevédoublevédoublevé. So. long.

Except in her case, it’s been proved that she’s been embezzling. Your argument makes no sense, you’re comparing two completely different situations.
