I'm not sure why exactly, but this made me chuckle. I guess just the thought of someone pulling out a chicken wing from their takeout bag and handing it to a kitten.

That penn station one was a trick question for me lol. I knew it was Penn, but I clicked ACE instead of 123. The most annoying part is the 123 are the lines I use at this stop more than the ACE, so I'm well aware of the inconvenient construction going on. Could've been 9/10 instead of my 8/10.

Well ya can't see heat and gas from unit listings on street easy. And the agent can say it's turned off since the unit is vacant! Just sign that lease and it'll be alright. Instagram ready.

Agreed. But would they feel badly about it? I highly doubt it. Majory Taylor Greene was stripped of all committee assignments cause she's that much of a waste of space where she was deemed not fit or competent enough to do the job by her colleagues, and yet American voters went ahead and re-elected her by 170K to 88K votes anyway.
This is the reality of America.

My characterization is of what voters are looking for. Someone to vote with their party. This is the party of voters that elected Trump, and MGT, and re-elected Boebert. Americans need to look in the mirror and realize what their country really is, and who their countrymen really are. And Santos and these other people are the reality, if he's not forced to resign.

Why would you reflect if you like the way things are? This is one more seat that helps Rs have a majority in the House. Let all the other members craft policy, this guy's job is to vote yes for (R) bills, and vote no for (D) bills. You don't even need a GED for that.

Cause everyone makes mistakes and lies a little here and there, so he's relatable! He's just like us, if you really think about it. And don't you want someone just like you, not an experienced, qualified person on the job?

Reply to comment by SakanaToDoubutsu in NYC's AI bias law is delayed until April 2023, but when it comes into effect, NYC will be the first jurisdiction mandating an AI bias order in the world, revolutionizing the use of AI tools in recruiting by Background-Net-4715
Anecdote here, but based on my life experience and thinking back on my experience in college, I was a working class first generation college student. Being in the college environment was so different from the world I knew through the 12th grade. My new classmates were so different. I remember overhearing a conversation between classmates where a guy was complaining about being too poor, but then talking about how he can't wait for spring break cause he just wants to go somewhere with a beach to lie down and tan the whole time. Meanwhile I was planning to pick up extra hours at my minimum wage part time job.
Or the dorm experience. I couldn't afford dorming. I commuted 90 minutes each way to class, and would go him, try to take a 40 minute nap before heading out to my 6-10 shift at my job. I had no time for clubs or events, and didn't have a lot of social interactions outside of classes and class work. Hell, I didn't even know my supervisor advisor till my senior year. As a first generation student I had no clue about that stuff. This and so many other experiences all tied together to make college very hard at times. And yes, I am a minority. But it's not my being a minority that triggered this. It was my socioeconomic status, my family history, and the access to experiences I had or didn't have before getting to college.
So when someone sees the correlation as black = high drop out rate. The immediate reaction may be to be offended or object, but while on the data side that correlation is the easiest identifier, it doesn't actually identify what may be the real issues. And let's face it, with the history of this country, lots of black people have gone through life with obstacles intentionally erected to make sure this is their reality and the reality of their children. For example, while white wwii veterans were coming back home to buy homes with their GI bill and pay for education to build a foundation that roots their family and future generations solidly in the middle class, black veterans where not allowed those same privileges in many areas, rooting them and their future generations in the working class.

>Training models isn’t some Klan rally to go after people, at least not in my experience.
In all that I've read about the biases, I never came away with the impression that it was this, or that any biases that exist were maliciously built in, but they nevertheless exist. And when it's implemented in daily life, it has the potential to negatively affect members of the public. And that's not a good thing.

I'm not sure, but I would say no only because they actually created a megathread to funnel all the crime posts plaguing the sub into one spot. And on reddit, the right likes to create the idea that all big cities run by democrats are war zones, so I think right wing mods would want all the front page posts to be about crime to keep that fear alive.

The amount of areas serviced (even acknowledging the subway desert neighborhoods) and 24 hour access, to me, is the distinguishing feature that makes MTA the most convenient. I've never been to London, but I do visit DC often and use the metro. Coming home after seeing a show at echostage, or going to a bar with friends, the metro is not an option. If I'm staying in the sorta equivalent of the "outer boroughs", the metro is not an option.
I'm also wondering if the Nats have a late extra-innings game, does the nearby line run a few extra trains past the last scheduled train of the night? I'm guessing not, but am curious.

Once again, since you ignored it in the original OP comment and in my comment, do you lose your job if you wear a mask and/or cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze when on the train?

>f you "have" to be on transit for whatever personal justification you've made, the least you could do is wear a fracking mask and, if not, at least cover your coughs and sneezes!
Do you lose your job if you do any of these too?

Don't I know it as an E/F rider. The worst is when the delay starts after I'm on the train. When I see the notification on my way to transferring to the E I usually just reroute and take the LIRR into queens. I've been averaging about two rides per paper ticket cause they conducted doesn't always come around before I get off. So at least it's not too much of an expense. But still annoying.

I don't believe that's the reality. When people get more money they tend to start voting conservative for financial reasons. And are willing to ignore all other conservative policies as long as there's financial benefits. And we all know empathy is the enemy for the gop when it comes to policies.
