According to two candidates for NYC Mayor, the median house price in Brooklyn is about $100,000. And one of them used to be Obama’s HUD Secretary:

Based on personal experience, I 100% agree with you. However, I may be wrong because when I said something similar to my podiatrist (who was helping me with a sports injury), he said, “ugh, you’re one of THOSE people.”

I thought the upside to being married to a gearhead is getting to drive a super fun car. Judging from the wives cars on here, apparently not.

To be afraid of anything car-related. If the car isn’t working properly, take it to any mechanic and do whatever they say. If not, we could all die. Fortunately, I learned otherwise on my own. 

Unfortunately, petitions of any kind are a waste of time. They are not a tool that actually makes change. All they are is a tool that enables groups to organize more people around an issue. They are basically tricking you into giving your name and contact info to them and the fact that you care about an issue. That…

Indomie mi goreng counts. It is the best. Also, JFC brand.

Wow. A lot of the comments here prove the point that people struggle to let go of the myth of the great man. People need to defend Bill Gates so much that they pretend he didn’t cavort with Epstein after the sex trafficking conviction and funnel millions through him to MIT’s media lab. I don’t know if Gates sexually…

People in politics get punished for telling the truth all of the time. The Democrats do it, too. Its awful when either side does it. Its especially awful when people only get mad - or only notice - when the other side does it.

Perhaps they could change their old ground beef recipes to plant-based beef recipes. As a (recent and reluctant) vegetarian, I use ground beef recipes. I miss fish tacos sooooooooooooo much, and the closest I can think of for something similar is a ground beef taco recipe made with Impossible Burger. Its not the same.…

They’ll do anything but give their employees a higher starting wage.  

There are interim steps that might work.

PT Cruiser. I hate the look. Then, when I was travelling in California, I rented a convertible. The car rental agency chose WHICH convertible. They gave me a convertible PT Cruiser. I wanted to say, “nevermind, just give me a sedan,” but I didn’t want to create chaos for the people who worked there. So I drove it. It…

I wouldn’t be surprised if she did get vaccinated for Covid, but she would have never admitted it to the public. Like those anti-abortion protesters who harass patients going into Planned Parenthood and then book appointments for an abortion when they need one and then return to picketing later.

Me, too, but I wish should wouldn’t imply that one never recovers from a trauma (e.g. will “hurt [her] for the rest of her life”). People do and acknowledging that helps people who have been traumatized to seek help.

My understanding is that women under 50 have breast tissue that is too dense for mammograms to be useful. So its not about at which age women get breast cancer; its about at which age mammograms become useful tools. Women who get breast cancer before age 50 discover it other ways, even if they are getting routine mammo…

I am a big fan of epimedium:

Part of gaslighting is that the person gaslighting you tells you what you should think instead. Before successfully cutting off contact with a person who was gaslighting me, I started saying to him when he was telling me what I should think, “hmmmmm... that doesn’t resonate with me.” No matter how much he would insist…

The reason this law still exists in Oregon is that a powerful union that organizes gas station attendants makes darn sure the legislators and voters don’t repeal it. That’s all. I am 100% strongly in favor of unions. However, every once in a while they engage in rent-seeking behavior - i.e. things that are good for…

A button that has gotten just more and more in demand for every year since Saab’s passing, yet hasn’t been copied by any brand that I know of: The one that turns off all the unnecessary interior lights to aid in night driving. My current Audi is merely a major disappointment, while some recent Japanese cars are in…

I will, if that is the only meat you ever eat, which I doubt.
