Can I be so for real without everyone getting mad at me?

yes you can. you're so conventionally attractive, wise, and smartI wouldn't expect the mayor of NYC to do that. It's so above and beyond the call of duty. It's like if you're on a date and they're upset that they couldn't secure tickets to space next to Katy Perry. I'm impressed that you even researched it.

https://www.hindrajabfoundation.org/ might have some things to say in response to that. Like that it's not above and beyond to expect the mayor of a city who also presides over the largest police force in the country to ensure that the "law" is upheld in his city.

“It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant.

Like, they literally do have that authority, they just don't want to deal with it because of the fallout that would ensue from actually doing it. We all know that "laws" are just what the ruling class want to do, and those laws will be applied selectively and bent if necessary to do whatever it is they want. Not figuratively, or vaguely, but literally. Mamdani has wriggled his way into a ruling class position and he could do it if he had the will to do it. It is absolutely not that he doesn't have "legal authority" to do it.

Edit to add: Mamdani also doesn't have to actually order any arrest, but he could just say that it's on the table as a possibility which in turn would put pressure on Netanyahu and possibly even prevent him from coming to New York. The threat alone could be enough to prevent Netanyahu from freely traveling where he wants to. It worked on Ben Gvir.

I already have the next 10 dates planned. Each date in my abode we play a different console and gameplay genre. I have each game planned. I have game guides printed. I have a specific cologne blend that perfectly matches the mood of each.

And snacks.

I also have 20 different anime fansub betamax tapes that I will let her choose at least 5 of on these 10 dates, increasing to a maximum of 10 should the first 3 picks be judged as good picks (scoring 3 cool units on choice and an additional 4 cool units based on her opinion after viewing, culminating in a bonus round pick for every 6 points and a 1.25 multiplier ([rounded up] for subsequent 7 point dates).

Every 10 cool units can be exchanged for a love token. 8 love tokens can be exchanged for a sex act of her choosing.

I got this.

She plays her cards right, I'll let her play her cassettes in the car when she drives me to EB Games.

If there's not a combination of 3 that reveals her to be the avatar, master of all 4 elements, then I don't want it!
