Everything you see on TV and movies isn’t how it is in real life, son. It is hacking whether or not you believe it is. Hacking doesn’t mean some tech guru typing frantically to beat a wall and say, “I’m in!”

Similar mouth breather logic - “It’s not murder! I pushed the guy on the tracks but the train killed him!”

That study is worthless. It’s a one year snapshot. The top 20 is dominated by Texas oil boomtowns that’ll be at the bottom of the list come 2017. Hell, LA is 245th and NYC 262nd.

True, but Detroit’s fielded consistently competitive NHL and MLB franchises for years, a once-competitive NBA franchise, and two highly competitive Division I college sports enterprises in addition to an NFL sideshow. Detroit itself might be crumbling, but there’s still a shit-ton of money in the surrounding area…

Look at the difference in metro sizes - Detroit, Pittsburgh and St. Louis all have 2.5 mil+ ppl and Detroit has been around 5 million ppl since forever. OP just thinks because he/she sees a downtown/inner city in utter chaos that the entire region is economically depressed, and even that argument isn’t valid for most…

You haven’t been to Detroit lately. Eastern Market, Hamtramck, Cork Town, Ferndale, other parts of the metro area. A surprisingly large number of hipsters (bless their hearts) are moving in to take advantage of the low real estate costs/rents and the made for the taking opportunities for shabby chic and steampunk. The…

Metro Detroit is actually very popular with hipsters right now. Especially the outlying areas like Ferndale. Can’t walk into a bar without fixed gear bicycles parked out front and handlebar mustaches and fedoras as far as the eye can see.

Ha! I’m a lion’s fan and a Detroiter, and damn it, I hate to admit you’re right. But all jokes aside before they changed the blackout rule Art van (the furniture company) would buy out most of the tickets just so residents could watch the game on TV. Side note, Ford field is hella nice.

This is why I(at a relatively young age) learned to stop talking shit about your ex or the girl you are currently hooking up, but don’t really like. Eventually you might date them and you have to work through all the dumb shit you said.

those places have been economically miserable for a long time, and they still support NFL teams.

You’re using Gretzky as part of supporting facts? He played 18 games for the Blues.

Sure sure, but aren’t you forgetting about The Best Fans in Baseball?

You left out the most important and devastating effect of lead poisoning - brain damage. A whole city full of children are now at risk for learning and developmental disabilities that could have been easily prevented by not fucking with the water supply. Combating lead poisoning in children has been one of the most…

Detroit’s water system is in no way a mess. What are you even talking about?

Ugh, Snyder is just a garbage nightmare. His emergency managers have done more harm than good in a lot of places. And if it turns out that he knew about the elevated lead levels and covered it up, his tough nerd ass should end up in jail.

Detroit’s water is some of the finest drinking water in the country.

So you expect the not yet fully formed judgement of a teenager to overpower raging hormones? Recipe for unintended consequences. If we're realistic we should educate and arm teenagers with the things they need to have safer sex that won't ruin their lives because they weren't prepared because their parents and…

You’re just bad at it apparently.

You do?

I think she’s saying that she likely wouldn’t be as wildly successful at 25 had she gotten pregnant when she was a sexually active teenager and young adult, and the avoidance of such a pregnancy was due, at least in some part, to Planned Parenthood.
