Haha, I grew up in a very middle class area that happens to not be in the rich part of town, and I was flabbergasted when a school board member didn’t want to build a school near us because it was too “rough.”

OMG similar story. My school district had issues... Very ethnically diverse, economically diverse. On the edge of what is known as, “the war zone” because of its heavy gang presence. I ended up going to a school in the ritzy part of town (It was a 45 minute bus ride every day, going and coming). When I turned 15 I…

Kids are the worst (or they can be). When we had just bought our first house — which I loved, a three bedroom, one bath bungalow, plenty of room for the four of us — one of my children’s friends came over and asked him if we were poor, “because your house is so small.” They were six.

Jay, let me tell you what the man at the Audi dealership told me when I had a toddler and was expecting twins, “Just go get yourself a minivan. There’s a reason minivans exist, and it’s for people like you. You will be glad you have it, and in five years you can trade it in for something else.”

“I am happy for those that simply do not understand, this means you had good parent(s)”

You missed the woman’s AWESOME follow up. Bravo!

Yup, that’s when I started openly rooting for Atlanta.

I’m at the game and this 75% male crowd woo-hooed for this line!Even the Falcons coach had a big grin.

Im not sure, since I live in an echo chamber, but I think Uber uses cars.

I liked it when Jalopnik was about cars and there weren’t fascists running America. I guess neither of us gets to have it our way.

Constance Wu is a badass. Doing the thing your conscience tells you is right even if it could hurt you (career-wise, in this case) is honorable and beautiful and I am really impressed by her speaking up. I also agree with her re: Casey Affleck. What a turd.

How amazing of Hillary to look him straight in the eye and say, “no one will ever remember you.”

“I was having every emotion I’ve tried to get rid of over the past few weeks,” audience member Jordan Serpone told The New York Times. “She shouldn’t be here. She should be planning her cabinet.”

This feels really unfair. I know that’s not the right way to feel but i can’t get my head around it. Can anyone put it in terms that are easier for me to understand?

Maybe so, but Elizabeth Moss’ Scientology just takes a big dump on everything she’s in these days. For me, at least. My opinions are really important. To me.

Ugh.

Internet porn has ruined men, as far as I’m concerned. It’s so deeply normalized degrading, violent sex strictly for the male gaze. Of course it all existed before, but early and frequent exposure has deeply damaged mens’ psyches and lessened their ability to see women as consensual partners deserving of their own…

you know, the thing that is giving me crippling depression about 2016 is not that conservatives voted for donald trump - i pretty much expected that. it’s all the personal sexism i experienced from ostensibly liberal men about hillary clinton, and now the victim-blaming that they are heaping on her after the fact.

I believe this, a lot of people believe this. However, I think Obama publicly stating this in an interview is a bit...unbecoming of a departing president.

Yes, this pales in comparison to the garbage Trump pumps out on a weekly basis, but I think it’s important that the Dems “go high.”
