Aww, that's so nice. Did you stay in touch? He would've been nice to visit in Amsterdam.

I don't know if it's pride. If I have no idea what to tell someone I'll say I don't know. But I think we do want to be helpful - being in this city does make one feel like we're all in it together. I might not know where to send you but if you seem reasonably ok I might pull out my Google Maps app and check the MTA app, too, for you.
ETA: I know Parisiennes also get a bad rap. But one time I was lost in Paris and some sweet gentleman listened to my really bad French, literally took me by the arm, and took me to the place I was looking for. And he wasn't the only one who went out of his way to help me. I think if you are respectful, people in big cities will help you out.

Reply to Dutch Students using ChatGPT to finish homework; Teachers aren't noticing by Parking_Attitude_519
There is a trend in US education to "flip the classroom " - meaning, to have students listen to lectures and complete reading at home, and then have students complete assignments in the classroom with the teacher available to help and guide. Teachers were finding better results and deeper understanding of the material with this strategy. But I think the adoption of ChatGPT everywhere will eventually make this strategy the norm.

I've seen hawks in the East Village and raccoons in Queens. A coworker went on vacation and came back to find a bat in her apartment in the Bronx. And I believe wolves are now being spotted in some of the outer boroughs

Reply to I’m in the middle of a mental health crisis. I’ve called a bunch of places and I’ve yet to hear from them. Please help me get services/reach someone soon. by Ok-Elderberry-3704
Try calling the National Institute of the Psychotherapies. They are based in Manhattan. They do an intake with one therapist and then match you with your therapist-in-training. They accept most health insurance. The therapist graduates in a couple of years or so and you can chose to leave and go to their new practice or stay at NIP with a new therapist.
I know this is not an immediate solution but i hope this helps.. There are also app and telehealth options that other Redditorsmight know more about.. GL and let us know how you get on.

Airbnb are good for families. But so are its competitors VRBO and Hotels.com, which both have apartment and house rentals, and maybe other sites. They aren't unique.

This is a good point. I wonder how they handle counterfeits that are sent in for repair. Anyone know?
