Good thinking, you’ve almost reached the point where a teenager would say “nothing matters dude”.

I hate that some of it makes me mad. Even the true parts. God, we’re terrible.

One time while studying in Germany a friend tried to steal a Kinder egg from a grocery store and didn’t tell us. On our way out of the store these big security guys came and stopped us and took him away pretty forcefully—we thought it had to be a mistake, but he sheepishly admitted it to us. Then he was too…

YES. This is why the “no one is forcing you to live here” argument holds no water. This is where the jobs are, unless you want to sell insurance in Omaha or something.

Just what about his reasoning do you find objectionable? Leaving form and style aside.

You said this in a much nicer way than I was going to. Anyone who studies urbanism and its sub-disciplines will tell you that

That’s how it appeared to me as a visitor but a lot of people are saying the same thing. You learn something new every day on this site.

Those are all true, good reasons to love Boston.

I’ve since moved out but we bought our family home in 2003 for $325k and it’s hovering around $410k now, which makes me happy because it’ll give my mother something to retire on maybe. But as a young person just starting out, I don’t even entertain the idea of buying. Congrats though! I hope it doesn’t come crashing…

Depressing isn’t it? This is a great place to live if you chose the right field (iffy) and don’t have a pile of debt from one of our esteemed universities (guilty). Though I fully acknowledge that I have a hardheaded Bostonian’s view about having to move to another part of the country.

Median household income in BK was $45k in 2015. Assuming a zero percent tax rate, renting the one-bedroom in the development above would leave the median Brooklyn household about $4k left to live on for the rest of the year. Median rent in the same borough is about $2800, so it would leave the median household about…

(Medford here. It’s not so bad). But I think we forget about what America really looks like away from the coasts. I was in Ohio and Michigan earlier this year and my jaw just stayed on the floor because of the cost of things. Like, half the price. Like, $5 drinks and ultra-cheap lodging. Would I move? Probably not,…

I’ve been fucked by Fung Wah and Lucky Star more than once, in my day. These days I drive, because there’s nothing worse than being stuck on the side of the road in Fairfield for some inscrutable reason that your driver won’t or can’t explain to you.

That’s the way of the future whether or not you do this Christie, you dumb fuck. It’s happening. In the meantime, pay people a living wage.

bingo.

Every time I visit New York I talk to my friends about how cool it would be to move there, and every time I am quietly relieved to leave after the weekend because holy hell does that place sap your wallet if you don’t make New York money.

Hello, friend. I’d like to introduce a new word to you. Are you ready? The word is: irony.

He totally is that spinster aunt you hated having to visit as a kid because the only tv she’d watch was the Christian channel and she cared very much that you actually be seated quietly on the couch where she could keep an eye on you.

Same.

Counterpoint: PLEASE go to Breitbart and troll the fuck out of them. I wonder how long it would take those idiots to notice.
