For me, it was wheelchair ramps.

I only had one encounter with Be My Eyes of someone trying to classify their comic book collection by the year printed on the cover which was too small for them to read. It was pretty neat and I was happy to help, but it took way longer than 5 minutes, haha. I think though that with computer vision, a lot of the requests aren't routed to volunteers anymore though.

Car owners in NY are devastated!

The congestion zone starts at 60th Street and heads south, so traveling from 61st - 79th street won't even encounter the congestion pricing. This guy is dumb on so many levels.

EDIT: I just looked it up on a map and 61st is a one way going west towards Central Park, so if you enter 61st from Madison Ave, you're forced to exit at 5th Ave and go south entering the zone, which I guess is this guy's problem?. I also looked up the guy and he's a CEO Real Estate developer, so he's living in a multi-million dollar place right next to Central Park and can't afford to pay $9 because his private parking spot in his building forces him to drive into the congestion pricing zone. Come on!

Why was he there in the first place?

I applaude the sentiment, but should say "cropped out of" since "edited" sounds like they had to use the clone tool to remove him from the center of the frame and spent more than 2 seconds removing him. Here's an pic from a different angle showing Trump way off to the right side of the frame:

Update: Just watched the video and Trump clearly tries to insert himself into the shot, and would have been in frame, but is escorted out of the frame, after which the photo is taken and cropped.

When I take vacation, I always phrase it as "I am taking vacation from X to Y". Requesting time off for vacation you're owed is such a scam to allow people with little power feel like they can control you.

Ruling for a job is hard

I think they're saying that each of those are different professions, which is why the job posting is made by a clown. That being said, there are 15 year olds with TikTok accounts who do all of these things, so it also sounds like someone who doesn't know what a Social Media Manager does and criticizing the job posting.
