the OP is noting that in NYC you can pretty much guaranteed that if you’re at a light and it turns green, if all 50 cars don’t instantly move within 1/2 a second, there will always be one or two tools at the back who need to honk their horns. It’s annoying, and really, really stupid.

NYC is more than Manhattan.

try leaving midtown in your car. Drive from Brooklyn to Yonkers and tell me how easy it is to navigate neighborhoods that aren’t midtown Manhattan or highways in NYC that have you enter an expressway and then immediately cross four lanes of traffic to get on another highway — all poorly marked and with your GPS giving…

try leaving midtown next time you come to NYC.

FYI, NYC includes places like Chinatown, the West Village, Brooklyn, the Bronx, etc. Midtown Manhattan =/= NYC.

No one has even remotely suggested Kathy Griffin is a respected activist. She is a well known comedian. HBO doesn’t hand out multiple stand-up specials to unknowns.

My neighborhood is geographically defined on one side by a street. Tell me how vastly different those neighborhoods are by crossing the street.

*Everything* I wrote is true, and you’ve been asking repeatedly why anyone cares if we know the name of the FA. I answered your question. Because the FA will *definitely* be held accountable, as will AA. At least for this incident.

The video, which is getting media attention, is what is making action happen at AA. Without Tony’s confrontation of the FA, the FA’s anger issue would not have been caught on tape. Without the video, AA would not have undeniable evidence that it clearly has an employee ill-suited to working with the public and…

If you live in Philly or Massachusettes, companies there can’t legally ask you. Looks like NYC may pass a similar law soon.

Contractors do make more per hour than salaried employees. Contractors pay for their own health insurance, don’t get a company sponsored 401k (with match), sick days, vacation, paid holidays, etc. AND have to spend a portion of their time drumming up new business, for which you don’t get to bill your client.…

How kind of you to note that it was all Mrs. Walsh’s fault her little boy was murdered.

Adults left kids unattended A LOT in the 80s. The vast majority of us made it out of that decade alive.

There are groups doing descalation or “upstander” training. I did one in my neighborhood a ouple weeks ago and there was another in Sunnyside on Sunday. I think I heard about the last one from Standing Up for Racial Justice. 

Why would anyone think “oh, he’s leaving to get a cane and the come back with it assault those women”? The victim’s were surprised by it. No doubt onlookers were as well.

That sucks. Too bad someone like this wasn’t there to help your friend.

Strangely, my male gynecologist has no problem giving medical advice to me in spite of not having a vagina. He was even able to surgically remove several fibroids from my uterus, even though he does not possess a uterus.

Actually, I had no idea what you were talking about. Additionally, most second graders can tell you about the different states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Beyond that water vapor (steam) is literally H2O suspended in the air in small particles. Steam on the other hand is H2O heated to the point of becoming an…

Actually, steam is water.
