But the workshop was talking about the U.S.. Not Japan, or South Korea, or Malaysia, or India - all countries that have issues and negative history with minorities to varying degrees. So it makes sense to use the term “White” given what they were addressing.

Further, discussing how what defines “American” culture in this country is often based in white Protestant terms is stating a fact. It’s not an attack on white people. But it’s something to be cognizant of if your goal is actually being accepting and progressive and identifying what binds us.

> New York is the city that can’t, in the state that can’t. It treats a three-station subway expansion as a generational project. It clings to its way of doing things in face of obvious evidence that this way does not work; when it wants to do something different, it privatizes the state to consultants and huge design-build contractors, which has consistently raised costs wherever it is implemented. It’s not even aware of how success looks. Its leadership is rather like a Russian general who, seeing the army throw countless soldiers to take individual blocks of Bakhmut, population 70,000, insists things are going great and there is no need for anyone to learn anything about NATO standards, before ordering another wave of assault.

I legit might only have 1 kid because it looks like i’m going to have to send them to private school($$$) just to give them a normal-ass education. These lame, out of touch granola white people need to be pulled aside and told no one obsesses more about race than them. Being “one of the good” self-hating whites is so annoying, obnoxious and patronizing. They are egomaniacs with superiority complexes and aren’t even aware of it.

Just do what teachers have always done—teach your students to treat everyone with kindness, compassion and respect. Or be a total dipshit that every normal person mocks inside their home and hold a seminar explaining why posting a gif of oprah is engaging in digital blackface.

The only thing these unlikable nutbags accomplish is giving the right ammunition.

190 is in view of the booth. Police will be called quickly if MTA notices the homeless or vandals in tunnel.

LOL. "Privilege goblins" are the assholes running a business who get pissed when an employee demands fair pay. Even worse are the collaborators who, rather than get fair pay for themselves, get angry at those who do.

"Unhappy hour" lol

It's top 5. Only other city I'd compare it to is London. There are other nice European cities but nothing is quite the same scale. Paris is a close one, but I've never been there when there wasnt a debilitating strike.

But I havent been to Japan or Korea.

Hire a cleaning crew and a cop here and there to take care of all the whateverheads (crack is rare now) and it’ll be fine, New York is turning into LA without the nice weather

Maybe not a troll post but definitely copy and pasted from the original

Vornado is currently knocking down what was once the largest hotel in the world - aka the perfect building for housing conversion - to build the penis office tower (across the street from Penn)

>After seeing a LinkedIn ad for a new role on her team that revealed new recruits will be paid more than her

Welcome to the real world. A new recruit is always more valuable than an existing employee. Did she really need transparency laws to tell her that? Everyone who gives a shit about their career knows the only way to get a raise is to change jobs every 2-3 years.

>candidates were often offended because the companies rarely made offers at the high end of the stated range.

Who didn't see this coming? Everyone thinks they are on the high end. Well someone has to be on the low end and the middle.

>Wall Street human resource executives blamed the transparency for a wave of resignations after bonuses were paid out at the end of February

There is ALWAYS a wave of resignation in professional services after bonuses are paid out.

>Activists and community leaders argue that the laws provide vital information to women and employees of colour who otherwise might not have the professional connections to know what kind of salary to negotiate for.

Of course it wouldn't be a complete pay disparity article without mentioning women and people of color. I am sure white male Joe Blow from bum fuck Ohio who graduated community college has the professional connections to negotiate higher salaries.

For anyone wondering, the painting is 22"x16 (half sheet). The image is of Pretty Ricky's! I stopped in there after some ramen and thought it would make a nice painting.

For my watercolor nerds: Paper is saunders waterford 140lb rough, paints are daniel smith and winsor and newton.

>The greatest city in America!

The ONLY city in America, I'm told.

Unfortunately I learned about this AFTER I ate there

Like in all cities , I’m sure the living experience is directly related to your type of work , income , neighborhood and personal life .

>I think most of us don’t think this way.

I don't disagree but but by letting it slide, you are approving it. Silence is complicity.

New shopping mall, same messed up tracks and delayed trains

I am making comparisons across countries. These talks about whiteness have been becoming mainstream in every English speaking country with a white majority. Countries generally speaking that have for the last 50 years been some of the most accepting and progressive nations in history. I think focusing on what binds us is much preferred over what differences we have. It’s much healthier for the country and makes it much easier to reshape the dominant culture to something we can all feel that we are part of.

You already wrote this exact comment. You didn’t respond to me there. Your comment makes even less sense out-of-context than it does in-context.

It is obvious you can’t defend your position. Emerge from your safe space, bitch boy. Don’t just opine because your favorite baby-brained outrage daddies characterize progressive positions as “pro-crime”. Educate yourself.

It’s simple. If you are a flight risk, or a danger to others around you, a prosecutor should be able to make the case for, and a judge should remand the defendant to, pre-trial detention. Your ability to pay bail should have no bearing on this.

Amazing

Wow, I mean I guess. You can also imagine someone who works doing what they love and making a ton of money doing it.

Well shit now I’m not so sure either

then let the jury and judge decide when case goes to trial...you as defense using it as a excuse to toss entire case before trial over things you know is useless

you simply afraid of it going to trial and using any excuse to prevent it. go to trial argue how important x was not turn over...go ahead lets see if you do

Also newspapers cutting staff because journalism isn't as prosperous a sector as it used to be.
