I plan to keep my 535D when the warranty ends - at which point it will be paid off. Bought it CPO for $30k+ off the original price. Sure there’s a risk of expensive repairs but even if I spend $12k over the following 3 years, that’s still much less than the $38,176 I was quoted to lease a comparable new 540D

Back in the day, Bloomberg got rid of the bike lane on Bedford Ave that runs through the Orthodox neighborhoods. He wanted the Hasidic/Orthodox vote, and they didn’t want to see women biking through their neighborhood, so away it went.

Damn him, that ugly scarf, smug face and I STILL would.

I wish someone would finally honor my request for a repost of all of Richard Lawson’s Gossip Girl recaps.

Hi, I’m Smoothieking, and I was a GG addict. The premiere was like watching Cruel Intentions part 2. Sadly, the show didn’t hold up last season 1.

I think a reasonable finder’s fee would be the $1000 plus one hour of hoonage

Well supposedly Moby just sold his Hollywood hills house to Banksy. I was walking by a few weeks ago and a middle aged white dude who looks a bit like this guy was leaving to walk his dog. So maybe I saw Banksy?

Surrogacy laws exist to prevent poor people from becoming breeding machines for the rich.

It seems to me they are, but there isn’t much new information coming out to generate new headlines. “Yup, that’s still happening” isn’t much of a news story. Seems this is the GOP strategy.

That’s such a huge part of it, too—the lack of consulting with the marginalized groups themselves. I understand what the artist was trying to do here, but to do it alone, as a white man, without consulting ANY of the (as you mentioned) very-easily-found Native American/Indian/Indigenous groups is baffling.

I’m always…

One thing I feel like is missing from these comments and the article. Is that the sculpture was pushed as “part playground.” Can you imagine installing a replica of a Nazi crematorium in the same way and not consulting any Jewish groups?

Yep. And now we have to endure learning the ending of the saga as written by two frat guys who love the bad pussy.

Dany isn’t the fire. Jon is both ice and fire. (Targ and Stark.) It’s his song.

Yuuuuup. I know we’re supposed to see her as a feminist hero, but everything she’s ever accomplished, and the reasons she’s not dead, have been mostly luck or dragons. Because she’s not that smart or good at leading armies. And I’m pretty sick of her entitled bullshit. “I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms.” Bitch,…

God, that fan theory annoys me. Beyond the frankly lackluster evidence for it, it just sort of undoes Tyrion’s character if it’s all just The Prophecy.

The books kill it so badly. How many Quentyn Martell chapters did I have to read until he accidentally set himself on fire via teasing an angry dragon?! Such wasted book real estate. Martin desperately needs an editor.

It is Ser Friendzone’s greyscaled hand.

Ohhh, I know who’s hand this is...

Reavers to the west of me, Dragons to the east,

I think it’s some kind of sad “My life is miserable but I’m too boring to get an actual hobby so I’ll pretend I run a business” nonsense. Just drink heavily like the rest of us and stop trying to sell me charm bracelets and supplements, Becky.
