Reply to comment by Casamance in Staten Island (or Richmond County) is the most sleep-deprived place in New York State, with 44% of adults reporting inadequate sleep. It also ranks 15th out the most sleep-deprived counties in the U.S. by AngelaLambert

i never thought about joining clubs because my commute was so long, and my class schedule was all over the place. i overall struggled to make friends, and the few that i made we didn't keep friendships going because the following semester we wouldn't share classes or have very different schedules. i do wonder now if i lived closer to campus, would i have stayed or still transferred...

with that said, even though my SUNY experience was a lot better (in terms of making and keeping friends), it didn't fundamentally change me.

Reply to comment by Buddynorris in NYPD Blows Overtime Budget by Nearly $100 Million, On Pace for Record | The New York City Police Department’s budget overage defies a pledge by Mayor Eric Adams to cut overtime spending by half in his first year in office. by bloomberg

"That's actually not true. The part about it being one of the least dangerous jobs."

I think my reading comprehension is fine. The opposite of least, is most. This list (and many others like it), show policing is not nearly as dangerous as police unions would have you believe. It's true, danger doesn't necessarily correlate directly with death, but it's a large part of it. Firefighters have an inherently dangerous job because of the high rate of injuries and things like smoke inhalation.

For all the complaining the MTA and the state do, you’d think we’d get new turnstiles that were harder to fare beat, but that costs money so let’s have cops at the station forever spending a shitload of money to keep them posted there.

Yes, given that there aren’t enough cops to be everywhere at once and the presence of the cops isn’t necessarily going to deter random acts of violence.

Plus cops end up posted by the turnstiles looking to ticket fare jumpers than be on the platforms doing fuck-all.
