Lawns were one of the biggest reasons I bolted for the city as soon as I was old enough - wasteful, pointless and so much work. Now of course the suburbs have inevitably followed me here
(thanks a lot, white millenials and boomers!

Fuck you,
the Gen-Xers who were here first in the 90s and made you feel “safe”. I will

Look out, Melania! I think Little Donnie is suddenly at attention and hungering for #4.

Oh good, another old white dude (this one briefly found cultural relevance due to Beavis and Butt-head!) is going to tell me why his opinion matters more.

There are not enough bye-felicia GIFs.

Is he not aware that BMW is the official vehicle of the Suburban Aspirational Douche, aka “his voters”?

It’s not exactly scientific, but in my experience women have more sex outside of the marriage in poly because what’s waiting for them on the outside is...a lot of available guys.

As a onetime resident of each of these locales, I can respond with a hearty “meh”. There are better and worse places to spend your young-millenial-post-student-loans-not-crushed-by-kids-and-family-no-shut-up-I’m-not-bitter-you’re-bitter money.

Am I the only one who always reads it as “Jim DeMenthe”?

Just me?

Oh.

You also forget the “I’m just gonna live out my Friends/SATC/Girls/etc. urban sitcom fantasy about drinking too much wine and loving my dog and never settling down” crowd.

I see you’ve been to Pennsylvania! Oh wait.

Oh, the “Staten Island Principle”!

Quick cocktail-napkin plan:

familiar, incoherent “Do this or I’ll shoot my own dick off” bluster 

It’s just called “youth”. Truth be told, I’m far more scared of “aggressive” tones of voice and behavior from paunchy, middle-aged white men.

I don’t watch hockey or ESPN, so what the...? Is he Karl Lagerfeld’s aging enforcer or something?
