Omg, your subway story is hilarious 😂! That’s epic ❤️ I certainly don’t want to dissuade anyone from taking the subway when in NY, it was/is still the best and fastest (& least expensive) way around town. You just need to be aware of your surroundings, like you would elsewhere. The only really necessary piece of advice to give anyone is never, ever, ever stand close to the edge… always stand as far back as you can. edit to add:full transparency - I don’t visit the city very much anymore, mostly due to physical issues. But I think my take on traveling via subway is still valid.

I’m not sure that people unfamiliar with theNYC subway system can actually appreciate that massiveness of it. There is a police presence, but it would be totally unrealistic to think every car on every train on every line would have an authority figure present. “As of 2023, the daily ridership for the New York City subway is approximately 3.6 million, which is about 68% of pre-pandemic levels. In 2019, the average daily ridership was almost 5.5 million.”

That is a puzzlement, without a doubt. He could have tossed that gun in Central Park almost anywhere off a dark path and unless it had some mozzarella wrapped around it and was found by one of those subway-pizza-super-rats came across it… it would be gone for a good, long time. Totally puzzling that he didn’t dump the ID’s either. Maybe he thought he was going to be caught that day and was astounded that he got away from the scene without being detained.

Please… that guy (Kyle) has probably never been on the subway to go to work. people who are on those subways commuting to their jobs, don’t have time for any other **** other than to just get to their job. It’s not gonna inspire any copycats. That’s just a really stupid post by him.

Daniel Penny found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely. This verdict is exactly right, and anyone who has ridden public transportation in NYC or elsewhere can totally understand what it feels like when someone who is exhibiting threatening behavior is on your subway car… and there’s nowhere to go. The prosecution charging him with criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter was such a huge overreach.

My father’s last year was in a VA home - he received great care. The staff was wonderful…. And it was affordable. Also, only about 15 minutes from me, so I was able to be with him often. I don’t know what/where all the vets that are in these facilities will be able to go if they are shut down. My heart aches just thinking about that

But here’s the thing, Lee, …if you’re in an African-American neighborhood, and you hanging nooses from a tree, and chanting some ugly, ugly things, are the people in that neighborhood not right if they’re feeling threatened? If groups of people are carrying torches through a Hebrew section of a city, chanting “Jews will not replace us“, are those people not right to feel threatened? Setting up gallows, while you’re chanting, “hang Mike Pence”, while you’re yelling, “where is Nancy Pelosi”, …this is absolutely threatening behavior. Dismissing it as “nothing but show” is really diminishing how bloody awful that display is/was.

*sigh*

He did NOTHING of the sort, and your accusation that he did is unfair. I think you should apologize.

Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and pumpkin/sunflower seeds. (All unsalted, of course). …. and some 72% dark chocolate. (& the 2000 year old man also recommends natural things, like water and CLOUDS….. and an occasional stuffed cabbage) 😁

A palmful almost everyday.

Chris Christie better find a good place to hide. lol. He’s the one who prosecuted senior Kushner. You gotta know there’s gonna be payback.

Happy Thanksgiving. Have a pumpkin martini 🙂 (but not too many) note:upgraded my phone last night… now the images post upside down? well, that’s not much of an improvement

Maybe an end to hostilities. 🤞🏼

The transition team is not stepping away from him. Who is surprised? *crickets* A den of thieves.

I have no idea what this map is showing.🤪

I’m not sure why you’re being so confrontational. I was agreeing with much of what you said… but the conversation here has been with some who pretty clearly WERE equating the two. And, btw, I taught for a few years also, so I most definitely know everything you listed in your second paragraph.

Screwball, every woman has that concern, regardless if there are ex-cons or felons. It’s oftentimes the cute guy next door that can be just as frightening. it’s any dark corridor. It’s any deserted parking lot or street. It’s an empty elevator or stairwell. All demand caution, but again, it’s in no way warranted to equate a trans person in a bathroom with a sexual predator in a bathroom. It’s just not.

I’m assuming you meant hypothetically and not hypocritically. Lol. But maybe you didn’t? 😁 She is a bad candidate. She shoots dogs.

lol. You will give yourself a back problem if you try to twist yourself into a pretzel til you understand the logic . 😂

That You’ll wait outside for her if she’d feel better?

Hope you’re feeling better every day.

But why are we even mentioning this? There’s no correlation between trans people and sexual assault on other people. Why even bring it into a discussion… it kind of gives credence to their argument

lol. Come on. Do you think she knows this?

That’s a given with her.
