Reply to comment by bruhyouokay in Feds not coming to MTA’s rescue under GOP House, Schumer says by newzee1

Well, it’s either gonna be a tax on everyone and make it free or NYPD will actually enforce it. I don’t see how it’s a problem with the NYPD actually enforcing the rules by ticketing and the courts actually collecting the fine. No dropping of the fine provided there is enough evidence.

How come fare evasion wasn’t that big of a problem when it was during Bloomberg’s administration?

If the assumption is about whether I've been vegan longer - it's statistically almost certain, but I did qualify myself. If the assumption is that the behavior is off-putting, we can look at our respective up/downvotes.

> And thats 27 years of no exceptions?

Define "exceptions". I don't have a personal purity test. I'd eat meat every day if it meant ten omnivores went vegan in my place. So if my order is screwed up in a minor way - e.g. I forget to specify no egg in my bibimbap - I'll pull out the big pieces, but it's not helping animals to throw away the food instead of eating the tiny egg bits.

Perhaps more importantly - I don't ask everyone who baked cookies whether their sugar was made with bone char, and I don't avoid beers/wine who might have been fined with isinglass. But: I used to. Until a vegan friend mentioned that they didn't, because it makes veganism look impossible. I'd rather be 99.5% vegan if it causes someone else to become 99.5% vegan instead of being 100% vegan and someone else 0% vegan.

This approach works. I can say with certainty that multiple people became vegan with me as the primary influencer, and far more folks who will eat vegan food who previously didn't.

You want some vegan propaganda that actually works? Learn to cook vegan food that doesn't use ingredients they're not comfortable with (even tofu) that tastes amazing. Back in the 90s commercially available vegan cookies sucked because the market was filled with health nuts. I changed a lot of minds about vegan food being "too healthy-tasting" by making unhealthy vegan foods.

I agree that seems to be low, and they need more evidence that this is the problem. But the idea is the consultants lack the expertise, continuity, and most importantly, the incentives to carry out projects efficiently.

You can find it at most head shops in places like St.Marks for example. It is legal in NYC but so is licking subway seats. I would not recommend doing either.

I have a friend who wants to do karaoke with a big group but doesn't want to deal with the hassle of a shared check for all of the food and drinks (which is the only way ive ever done it welp) does anyone have any recommendations? ive heard some places let you bring your own food/deliveries but not sure if there's also a way to have separate bar tabs without ppl having to leave the room every 5 seconds. If there's nothing, then does anyone have a good public karaoke place to recommend ? I'm thinking boho karaoke but not sure if there's better options (TYIA!)
