I live in Astoria and my zip code is technically LIC. No one I know is happy about it. We don’t see the benefit to anyone but the developers. We’re not sure the infrastructure can handle it. Buses and trains are already packed. Now the 25,000 people won’t come right away, thats projected over years with that goal…

In New York at 150K salary you’re middle class not wealthy. We take the subway. 

Those 25,000 jobs will not all be for high skilled workers firstly, secondly our unemployment rate is already low. Most of us have jobs, we’re not worried about other people taking them. Immigrants, especially undocumented, do the jobs most Americans won’t do. I think HQ2 could have gone to another city that really…

No, he’s 100% fucking right. These damn purity tests and Ugh Hillary bullshit is a big reason we’re in this mess. 

It’s not totally surprising. Mental illness is treated as a personal failing instead of a disease. And being a cruel douchebag with no empathy is fashionable right now as we can see daily.

As someone who has suffered from depression previously and has been suicidal myself, I don’t think you were trying to trivialize it. You were trying to be kind and empathetic. And that’s laudable. Every approach won’t work for every person that doesn’t mean you can’t try. Don’t apologize.

Absolutely off topic, but I looked at your screen name and thought: “Duranie?”. Then I saw your avatar.

Yes but the SS had much snappier uniforms.

I’m so deeply sorry.

Interesting choice, since her dad was in the SS and so were Phillip’s brothers-in-law. His sisters were Nazis as well. I don’t think he was ever a Nazi or even a sympathizer but he’s also said some questionable stuff. Good thing Meghan seems to have backbone. And I think she’s got Will and Kate in her corner. I hope.

I tend to overanalyze and overthink things. One of the things I’ve been pondering lately is why we still have a continuing fascinations with Nazis and people like Charles Manson. And I realized it’s because they’re awful, but interesting. Not all evil people or regimes are. And Edward was also awful but quite…

What’s made this series in general, and this season in particular so enjoyable for me is the quality of the performances. Not just Claire Foy, but the entire cast (so far) has been top notch, as have the production values.

Wait didn’t it turn out the the castle she claimed to have grown up in was turned into a hotel before she was even born?

Love Rammstein, this movie was soul crushing. Still find this story odd to day the least. Is it possible it’s true? Of course. But a lot doesn’t add up. I guess we’ll find out. And Lilja 4-ever was based on a true story too. I always wonder what happened to the real girl’s mother.

Orange is the New Black

I actually feel more sympathy for Eva Braun than Melania. Eva Braun was a ditz who was largely ignorant of what was happening. Melania has propped this douche up and even refused to condemn racist attacks against the reporter who did the story on her family. And also she propped up the birther stories.

I’m an old and a travel/event planner. If anything the codes have loosened up over the years but it still exists. It’s also at the discretion of the gate agent. So sorry I can’t get worked up over this. If JuniorFlair flies with me on a freebie he’d have to dress a certain way too. It’s a pain but it is what it is,…

Thank you SO much for saying this. Every movement has it’s fringes or clueless members, alway has. But like you I’m a Gen-Xer who finds too many, though of course not all, younger feminists reactionary at a hair-trigger level. too much word policing and trying to out edge the MRAs, too little self reflection and…

Invalid without Brian Jones.

Oh this guy’s a delight. After this girl fell 14 stories he went out for pizza. Then called his dad and a lawyer. But not the cops or an ambulance. And he apparently was told to stay out of some clubs for being creepy with women. My main issue is, if she became violent or erratic, why didn’t he just throw her out…
