MTA Subway - I don't understand 9 out of 10 what the train operators say when they make an announcement inside the subway (e.g., this stop is, or next stop is). Is it just me or their audio system is really that bad or the operators just talk like that (eating their words)?

You’re not meant to understand what they say. That’s the fun of the game.

You understand 1 out of 10? You're doing better than most!

It’s gotta be the audio system bc I’ve never been able to understand them and ain’t no way all of them have shitty speaking skills.

Welcome!

Many of the trains are old. Technology wasn’t as good back then and steady deterioration also impacts performance.

The system might be good...maybe the Acent of the speaker might also be a factor

If I get the transfer, I’d rather stay at EY - should I decline or accept the tech company’s 8th interview?

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
