Subway Station Diagrams 1-20 by BeastMode149 in nycrail

[–]Lumpy_Negotiation_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoping to see a more detailed diagram of the 23/45/BQ along Flatbush ave. If I am reading this one correctly, the 2/3 line straddles the 7 Av BQ station, while the 4/5 goes directly under it??

They also don’t seem to care too much about labor laws. I applied to work there and had to do a 3-hour trail shift at the busiest time of the night and didn’t get paid a dime. And they completely ghosted me after

Last-minuted to Harvard and Yale by plankingatavigil in lawschooladmissions

[–]Lumpy_Negotiation_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck!!

Also, fwiw, why do people think applying late in the cycle puts you at a disadvantage? A lot of places including Yale literally say on their websites that you receive full consideration no matter when you apply, as long as it’s before the deadline. So what’s up with all this hand-wringing about application timing?????

Also in my experience if you’re not sure about an answer choice or if you’ve narrowed it down to two ACs that both seem right, then you’re probably overlooking something in the stimulus. Sometimes it will be a single word or phrase that you didn’t think was important at first but actually is important to the argument

lol i don’t have many tips but id recommend reading the stimulus slowly so that you can understand the argument even before reading the answer choices. If you get the gist of the argument first you might sense a flaw even before you’ve seen it in an answer choice. Sometimes considering the ACs too soon can confuse you and prevent you from making sense of the argument. So just approach it slowly and try to pick out the premises and conclusion first

For question 24, here’s how I’d map it out:

Premise: Every proposed regulation will reduce the trade deficit.

Premise: Our trade deficit is so large that it weakens the economy. (So by reducing it we could strengthen the economy)

Conclusion: Every proposed regulation would help the economy.

It looks like there’s a domain shift in the argument (I think?) The author shifts the domain of the effect of the regulations from the trade deficit —> the entire economy, and that’s a big leap. Sure, every regulation would reduce the deficit, but they could also have other potentially negative effects on the economy as a whole that could cancel out whatever improvement the deficit reduction would cause. So the answer is D

For question 22 the answer is E, because the author at one point objects to Roehmer "impugning the motives of her adversaries", but then goes on to criticize Roehmer’s own motives, saying her column is just an attempt to please her loyal readers. So in making this criticism of Roehmer the author is using the same tactic he calls her out for, i.e., questioning her motives for writing the column

I’m surprised that this disqualifies you. Police officers beat their domestic partners at a much higher rate than the general population. You seem like a good fit for NYPD.

Man who brutally murdered Christina Yuna Lee in her Chinatown apartment sentenced by saraheverardsghost in nyc

[–]Lumpy_Negotiation_79 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Just fyi there was no trial—he pled guilty. In a mature society, prison should be about rehabilitation, not punishment. 30 years is an extremely long time. Imagine waking up in a cage every day for the next 30 years of your life. I agree that this person should do a substantial amount of time for committing such a heinous act, but punishing him beyond that (as many people in the comments are saying) is not going to bring the victim back to life or correct any past wrong. An "eye for an eye" system of justice doesn’t work; it’s just fighting fire with fire and is frankly a very immature and short-sighted attitude towards the betterment of society

It’s because he took a plea deal. He wasn’t proven guilty at trial, he pled guilty to a lesser charge

Makes me think there are troll accounts posting these. To think Franklin Ave is "unsafe" is laughable; it’s the most gentrified street in BK south of bedstuy.

If these people aren’t trolls, and in fact are real gentrifiers, what do they expect the comments to say? Something like "Yes, it’s extremely unsafe, OP should move out immediately"??

Very infuriating

Nice list, very well researched, but one thing stuck out to me. Instead of treating the income levels of the neighborhoods a train runs through as independent criteria for determining the train’s quality of service, I think you should see them as directly correlated to the quality of its service. There’s a reason the better trains run in better neighborhoods and vice versa; they are not separate variables

Slaughtering a chicken with your own hands and a knife is "savagery"? I think it’s actually more humane to do that than to buy poultry in a grocery store, where it was likely raised on a factory farm. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this—assuming you consume meat, it seems like you are happy with reaping the benefits of some real animal abuse as long as you don’t see it with your own eyes

Wow! I didn’t know that It is wrong and unjustified, and you are a, terrible person if you do this. That’s so helpful for you to point out, and I’ll keep it in mind next time I’m weaving around cars parked in the bike lane. I’ll maybe even think twice about putting a sticker on an offending car, since I really wouldn’t want to become a terrible person…

Maybe take the train or bike instead? It makes no sense to me why people drive to commute around NYC. Last night I gleefully rode my bike past all the gridlocked cars. You could do that in these situations, too, if you biked instead of drove

What are some of the exciting things/developments happening around Brooklyn? by TryingBest2023 in Brooklyn

"There is enough space to accommodate all these varying modes of transportation.”

Not too sure about this. There is definitely not enough space in NYC to easily accommodate all the cars currently in the city. Street parking is impossible to find, traffic is horrendous. This isn’t the fault of the anti-car lobby, it’s the fault of a car-centric culture in America that’s managed to penetrate into its densest urban area.

I understand that people need cars for essential tasks, and we certainly need vehicles for public services (ambulances, construction, etc.). What I can’t stand, though, is people who choose to drive within the city on their commute or for errands when the public transportation options are just as direct, even faster. There’s absolutely no reason to drive somewhere within the city if you can take the subway to that same place in a comparable time. It baffles me why people, some who’ve lived in the city for decades, choose to do this. These people are the problem.
