Yeah, you can do this.

1. Go get yourself an OMNY card (at CVS/Duane Reade/the NY Transit Museum/etc).
2. Go to https://omny.info/ and make an account.
3. Add your OMNY card to your wallet as a travel card.
4. Add your Wageworks card to your account as a payment method.
5. In your wallet on the website, select your OMNY card. Choose "Set up reload" > "Scheduled reload". You can choose to reload whatever amount you want either monthly or weekly, as well as the day of the month/week you want the reload to happen.
6. On the last page, select your Wageworks card as the payment method.

When I had Wageworks I had it set up to pull all of my pretax funds into my OMNY account a day or two after it landed in my Wageworks account. I spent like 6 months never having to think about running out of time or money, never needing to buy any passes or recharge anything. It was heaven. Then my employer switched to Voya and it's been nothing but trouble. :( Hoping I can work out the kinks to make it all automatic again....

Well, OMNY only charges you for 12 rides a week (with all the following being free), but only if you use the same card/device to tap in each time. The way an OMNY card works is that you can reload it online with any credit or debit card (and eventually you'll be able to reload it at vending machines, presumably with cash). So I guess if you want to use multiple cards/accounts to pay for transit you can use the OMNY card to make sure that you still get the post-12-ride discount.

And for families... I can see parents setting up an OMNY account for their kid, giving the kid a card and pre-loading it with cash, and that way the kid has a way to get around.

Also, if you have a non-contactless transit benefits card (like me 😔) then you can use an OMNY card to spend that money.

Lots of reasons.

If all else fails, they should have them at the NY Transit Museum Annex at Grand Central.

Honestly... giving people breaks. Obviously being completely vegan "no exceptions" is more impactful than occasionally slipping up, or by being vegetarian, or by being a "Tuesday vegan" or whatever. But people get very, very defensive about their dietary preferences, and a person doing something is better than doing nothing, so you gotta give people breaks sometimes. When you hop into conversations preaching veganism with (I'll be frank) an air of superiority, you will make some contrarians reading the conversation shift their mindsets from "maybe it's okay to eat vegan once or twice a week" to "fuck vegans, I'm eating a steak at every meal".

So you gotta be careful. You need to praise people for doing what they can, and you can't shame them for "not being vegan enough". Because the purity-testing BS will turn people against you.

(This is a level of tact that extends beyond online discussions on diet, and if it's a skill you haven't learned yet then it might serve you well to practice it. Catch more bees with honey than with vinegar, etc.)

As for proactive things you can do... honestly, learn to cook delicious vegan food that appeals to omnivores, and then serve it to them. Bonus points if they don't know it's vegan until you tell them. There's this thing in teaching called a discrepant event, which is when you shock someone out of their preconceptions by presenting them suddenly with a surprising situation which challenges their assumptions. In this case, the assumption would be "vegan food is boring and gross" or "a meal doesn't feel complete without animal products in it". So don't give them a salad. Learn to make an awesome, delicious curry with some vegan naan, something hearty and filling... serve it to them, let them give you accolades about how great your cooking is... and then tell them casually that it's vegan. Surprise them into learning that eating vegan doesn't have to be a sacrifice.

From the video that the rescue posted on Instagram... pretty damn sure it's not salt damage. Unless salt has developed the ability to aggressively maim things, I guess.

(Do not recommend watching the video, it's very hard to watch.)

Hi there, my purity-testing vegan friend.

I've been living the life for almost 16 years now... and I agree with the other guy that you're not really helping the cause.

>Stuff like this is never ok

It's kinda fucking me up that you felt the need to say this. It's like saying "rape and murder is never ok", yeah no shit... but you're right. There ARE people out there who need to hear it, and that is seriously messed up.

Turns out a lot of people aren't great at story analysis or like... the tv-watching equivalent of reading comprehension.

When Lost's finale first aired, I might have blamed the scattershot release schedule, or confused post-finale water-cooler conversations. Nowadays, I wonder if half the problem is that people are "watching" while dicking around on their phones.

Money.

8/10! Not bad.

Get a grip, man.

God, that would give me such bad anxiety.

I do like the way "Washington Hts" and "Morningside Hts" are tilted to match the angle of north/Broadway.

I do NOT like the way the word "Heights" was needlessly abbreviated in both of those cases.

I also don't like the haphazard way labels are rotated both clockwise and counterclockwise, nor the way some are left-justified, others are right-justified, and others are centered.

I also don't like that Marble Hill and Roosevelt Island are missing. And I wish Hudson Square was pulled out of Soho.

Still, it includes Inwood, which is ... unusual. And appreciated.

They didn't just buy the place; they bought the place plus a contractual agreement to give a portion of the place to a non-profit. If they didn't want to buy that contractual agreement, they should have just moved on.

There is a genre of person that gets offended by anything existing that doesn't cater to them personally...

People upthread started shitting on vegans just a couple hours after you posted, lol.

As a non-evangelizing teetotal pescetarian who just wants to be able to have options when I go out, well... insecure, hostile people can go enjoy their coc au vin (or their beers and ribs, idc) and I will enjoy my plant-based and non-alcoholic options, and so long as they leave me alone to my own choices we won't have a problem.

But it's still funny when they start vomiting up their own insecurities whenever they are confronted with the concept of other people making different personal choices.
