Cynthia Nixon for the win -- (link) - Amoxy Mar 22, 07:32 13
- I doubt she wins, and have no idea if she'd be any good (need to learn more) but I really don't like Cuomo - ty97 Mar 22, 07:33 12
  - I don't like Cuomo either but I'm not willing to vote for her or anyone without any experience based on my dislike of Cuomo. - Krusty Mar 22, 07:38 3
    - She hasn't held office, but she has been deeply involved in activism for a long time. She's not new to politics. - Andie Mar 22, 07:40 2
      - I understand all of that but that doesn't qualify her to run the state of NY. If she was running for city council that would make more sense but - Krusty Mar 22, 07:44 1
        
        I agree with you here krustation -- nm - groiny Mar 22, 07:46
  - if only someone recently won an election because everyone hated their opponent...... -- nm - groiny Mar 22, 07:36 2
    - If only someone recently won an elections because bigots vote...... -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 07:37 1
      - hey, you wanted people to vote!!!!! - groiny Mar 22, 07:40
  - I figured that is what she is banking on. - Spawn Mar 22, 07:35 4
    - His approval is decent (higher than I think it should be) but I don't trust him, think he's corrupt. - ty97 Mar 22, 07:36 3
      - I agree with all of this and I'd still vote for him again if she was the only other option. I really hope someone much better - Krusty Mar 22, 07:39 2
        
        Is there anybody from the other party that can beat him - eag Mar 22, 07:42 1
        
        Not likely at all. They're floated a few people but none poll close to him and the GOP loses big in NYC. - Krusty Mar 22, 07:46
ST have any opinions on "Love", the Netflix Apatow series? I just started it and burned through 7 episodes. I like it. - volnelk Mar 22, 07:31 2

    - "It's 12-year-old boy meets 13-year-old boy." -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 22, 07:29
    - With the amount of Funkos everyone here buys that's what I sort of expect from everyone. -- nm - MDH Mar 22, 07:25 9
      - Hey now! I have ONE of them there. It is a Batman. - Spawn Mar 22, 07:29
      - not everyone. -- nm - Diva Mar 22, 07:28 2
        
        True, too general. It just still astounds me how many some folks have! - MDH Mar 22, 07:30

  - baby girl always needs more toys -- nm - decline Mar 22, 07:18 2
    - She does have a birthday coming up. -- nm - znufrii Mar 22, 07:18 1
      - we've always bought toys months in advance of birthdays and Christmas; this is a chance to have Legos till the end of time - Beaker Mar 22, 07:19
- 10% in a 400% markup. woo! -- nm - budice Mar 22, 07:13
- I thought sale indicated prices dropped? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 22, 07:12 1
  - *marks everything up 25% to allow for a 20% reduction* -- nm - Beaker Mar 22, 07:13

    - is bob's work more fun than mary's? -- nm - decline Mar 22, 07:09 3
      - bob's work is VERY manual. the reason they want me to bob is that I am very efficiency-driven. I automate things. so maybe more fun? -- nm - amanda Mar 22, 07:13 2
        
        you'll be a better bob than bob ever was -- nm - decline Mar 22, 07:15 1

        You all have more shops and restaurants pre-security than post-security. Weird. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 04:49 2
        
        Post-security in Victoria is tiny. Like 10 gates. -- nm - Reagen Mar 22, 06:43
        
        It is weird, yes. More greeters than travellers, maybe? Or more folks who pop into the airport for a bite to eat? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 22, 04:58
