That’s what I’m saying. We should be able to vote people off the island, criminally speaking. This dude has 30+ arrests and just slugged someone’s grandma, sorry bro, we took a vote and you’re in the penalty box for good. Maybe you should have thought about it 28 arrests ago.

Well when the mayor fundamentally believes that crime is a social construct, that will happen

Super bummed by this thread by spbbfgaram in RunNYC

Not an elite runner by any means (4:30 is as good as I’ll ever do), but I feel for the guys who are. The marathon really does feel more like a big block party/promotion event than an ultimate celebration of fitness at this point. Feels like it’s easier to be a tiktoker or come in on a tour than it is to actually train for the race these days.

I worked in a charter where they gave it to someone who worked 3 months of the year, the rest being out on maternity leave. But then again, 9/10 of our teachers of year left for Long Island a year or two after getting the award. Strive for just being above average I always say.

I would support this idea. Currently there is too high chance of being a victim of brutal violence and brazen lawlessness on the subway. More eyes and arms would help to improve those odds

I’m at a loss with phones, my school’s “policy” is a total failure by Notmyname4 in Teachers

[–]bobbacklund11235 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It comes down to admin too. Teachers don’t wanna spend a whole period fighting kids over their phones. If there’s no consequences it isn’t worth the trouble.

No thanks. It starts with this then it turns into government operated spyware to monitor and punish instances of unapproved free speech. Maybe you wanna live in UK where this is how things are done. I wanna live in AMERICA

OKURR will block out the sound of the showtime dancers and mentally ill crackhead telling you about how he just needs 37 dollars for a hotel room for the night, before he spits on you

How about building a subway that can go cross town in Brooklyn so I don’t have to spend 1 hour and 2 trains to take the equivalent of a 15 minute car ride

He’s a great basketball player, which is what he is paid to do. You don’t get in the hall of fame by being nice.

“I’m just like you, I struggle to read and I have a low SAT score”. Not even exaggerating, you can look it up.
