"I won't do that"

Because you know how foolish you'll look. I'll save you the time and humiliation. You won't find any.

I'm Jewish. My wife is black. What thay has to do with anything I have literally no idea.

Are you trying to claim I'm racist for knowing NYC crime stats, For reading newspaper articles? Oh piss off.

They’re taking your tax dollars, burning through inexperienced teachers, overpaying board members, kicking out students with disabilities or behavioral problems, using the spare cash to purchase buildings, and then stealing more tax dollars by being the public school system’s landlord.

You should be mad.

I think 1st gen Apple Watch was a good success and was not reworked from another product - sure there were other smart-ish wearables (like Pebble and FitBit), but Apple's first launch was really successful.

Same goes for Apple AirTags: first iteration (no reworking) and they're a complete success - people are using them for pretty much everything. (I do know the privacy concerns that come up, but Apple's semi-addressing them).

Regarding the Watch, obviously they've now iterated and improved on its features, but the first release was a pretty big success and continues to be so.

It's not nonsense if it's actually happened. Furthermore they're accused by those with a hand in the motorcycle/ATV groups as having nothing better to do when other violent crimes are happening across the city.

But guess what, people do actually quit. There is an attrition issue affecting the NYPD right now due to a myriad of factors; hostile climate being one of them. As cited on resignation interviews.

It is absolutely based on reality. And everyone, including yourself, knows it.

There is a tremendous amount of antisemitism in the black community. I'm not sure where you've been these last two years, but yeah. It's a thing. So much so they guys like kyrie and Kanye (as well as many other black celebrities) openly brag about it.

This story? There were multiple threads on it. Everyone knew the deal before the dude was caught (except for like two people who thought it might be cops)

We need to fight bigotry. Even if the bigots are not who we generally expect.

That's the entire history of Apple. The Lisa was an expensive failure, they reworked it into the Mac. The 20th Anniversary Mac was an failure, they reworked it into the iMac. The Newton was a failure, they reworked it into the iPod. I'm not sure the company has had a single success apart from the original personal computer that wasn't built on a past failure.
