All the points for the Real Genius reference!

Was this a "Making the Video"? I feel like it was.

CA is two party, but as someone mentioned above there are exceptions when a violent felony is involved. If both parties are not aware of the recording it's a felony in CA. That's why when you call a business in CA and they record your conversation they must tell you that they are recording it. The two party extends…

Oh totally agreed. In my experience NY natives tend to be pretty chill about human differences, having grown up around so much diversity. It's the transplants trying to make it in the Big Apple! Just like Carrie Bradshaw! who seem invested in convincing everyone how much more cultured and sophisticated they are…

Holy shit, she's 33 years old?! Wow. She doesn't look a day over 2. Good for her.

Turkey. Bacon. Nope. The anatomy is aaaaaaaall wrong.

I posted about eShakti pockets before I saw yours- yes a million times, pockets as a default! Every time I scroll past the "remove pockets" option when I'm ordering a dress I think, "said no one ever."

I'm sorry, which social standards exactly does Taylor Swift not fit in with?

this is one reason I really like eshakti - their dressed and skirts all have pockets. You can choose to have them removed, but of course, I'd never do that. I absolutely hate purses, and would love all my clothes to have a pocket large enough for my phone, lip gloss, and keys. When I'm at work and have a meeting…

Dude, where are you flying? I just paid $750 for what was a $200 fare 10 yrs. ago (major airport to major airport).

Bag fees are just airlines making up for consumers chasing cheap airfares, plain and simple.

My issue in particular is that they write stuff to mimic language ticks used largely by African Americans, like going "sheeit" instead of "shit", and then name it "thug" while the only "thuggish" thing they have is the attempts at African American speech. So they are basically saying "black = thug", which is something…

Plus one of the original old-school Doctors in Peter Davison!

I work in the sector. That is pretty much exactly what I do, solar panels on mall roofs will not even almost cover 10 percent of all electricity used in the mall, 5 percent is very optimistic. The best way to save the planet is to do nothing but no one wants to hear that. switch everything off and go to open air…

Honestly, I think sometimes you just have to take an honest assessment of where you are in the moment and ask: "Given where I am right now, who is helping me and who is hurting me and how can I move forward, free from the constraints of the past?"

Yeah, I just calculated the size of my 3 bedroom house and it works out at just over 800 sf excluding the carport. I didn't realise that was deemed unsuitable for children. To be fair I have a large yard (in Australian suburbs, not NY), so there is somewhere to play outside. But still, it's not that hard to raise…

I am really frustrated by that ban too, but if you donate despite it, you may be saving the lives of people that will join us in changing that.

It does seem to be a generational blindness. I'm in my early 50s, and have permanent hearing loss from mumps I contracted as a toddler (just before the vaccine became available); my down-the street neighbor, just a couple of years older than me, had polio and required braces to walk (had to crawl when we went to the…

Tiny houses are not just a NYC thing. Here in an expensive California beach community, it's common to see little old 900 square foot cottages, some of them lovingly maintained and quite comfortable, though cramped. 2 bedroom/1 bath single family houses the size of a small apartment, with happy families raising kids…
