This moment says everything about why Zohran Mamdani won.
A journalist in a wheelchair asked about accessibility and Mamdani didnโt talk down to him, didnโt deflect, didnโt politicize it. He listened.
Heโs the kind of leader who respects everyone, every faith, every class, every flag.
@drpepluver She absolutely does not have a 36 inch waist. Not only is this dude a flaming douchecanoe but he's also wrong & creepy af for going around touching random women to prove a "point".
@Bas3d_Quinn@TheFestiveOwl One of the girls wasn't ALLOWED into Lorin's show because she wasn't 18. This is in the Rolling Stone article. She did lie initially, but this instance happened after that while they were in close contact.
@Bas3d_Quinn@TheFestiveOwl Going by your earlier admission that even the winners of civil cases often face financial issues - I'd ask why wouldn't they settle if they felt the settlement terms were enough to warrant not dragging things out further?
@Bas3d_Quinn@TheFestiveOwl It is, actually. Burden of proof is lower, but that doesn't mean jack when criminal cases of sexual assault are extremely difficult to prove. Stupid video game example but Diablo 4 on Torment 3 is still fucking hard even if it's "easier" than Torment 4
@Bas3d_Quinn@TheFestiveOwl That's just further evidence in favor of my point. Why go to the trouble of dragging themselves through 5 years of court proceedings while knowing that even if they win, they'd likely face additional financial challenges as a result?
@Bas3d_Quinn@TheFestiveOwl As a 30 year old, I have no trouble identifying people who are 10+ years younger than me. It is in fact laughably easy. To suggest that Lorin was like "haha OOPS I fucked some teenagers my bad" is willfully ignorant.
Bro skrillex making riddim is a blessing. Heโs paying attention. Personally idgaf if itโs not the best track weโve ever heard. HE IS MAKING THE SAME GENRE AS US. The big dawgs are going to work with him. This is one of the top 5 best things to happen to this genre
@Bas3d_Quinn@TheFestiveOwl It is truly mind-blowing to me that we're arguing legal details when the case is about a man in his mid-30s who AT BEST used his fame as a bargaining chip to sleep with teenage girls.
