Think about how much of your time is spent looking at ads. "Download ublock" yeah I know, I have. But that doesn't change that the world is covered with endless advertising. Imagine never seeing that again. How much better our lives would be.

The O.C. (2003-2007)

If you have a group chat with your extended family that includes parents and siblings, count that as an extended family group chat. If you have a group chat with both parents/siblings and spouse/children, vote based on which group is more represented (for example, if you have one with your parents, your sister, and your spouse, vote for "parents + siblings"). If you are completely no-contact with any of these groups, count that as not having it.

you can sell the things you get/give them away but they will keep coming until you die

I'm Option #1: My middle name is my mom's name. But I'd like to know if that practice is very common or not.

Despite the fact that a mayor who wears a T-shirt and jeans might "seem more approachable" in the eyes of the average American, Zohran Mamdani knows that someone with his profile fundamentally cannot get away with that the way his White colleagues can. He has instead put in the effort to look professional and BE approachable, because not only does it make it easier for him to reach and represent his constituents, it forces everyone, including both his opponents and establishment Democrats, to engage with the work he is doing instead of judging his image. The fact that he is always seen in a suit and is recognisably The Mayor is, while also something he has fun with, a deliberate choice to ensure he is as inarguably A Professional Politician To Be Taken Seriously. The added humour of e.g. the hi-vis is a bonus, only achievable because he works so hard to Look Like The Mayor.

It's rude.
