Born and raised in Flushing. It’s a fantastic place until US Open, EDC or even baseball season turn the 7 train to trash.

Brooklyn is full of transplants and please don’t compare this beautiful, diverse borough to that hell hole across the river.

I’ve never heard of a complaint against Queens that wasn’tvaguely racist or classist. Despite the growing gentrification, some of us are happy in the most diverse county in NY.

We did the exact same thing in middle school. Incidentally, also in Jersey. I thought it was fucked up as a kid, so I’m stunned that adults and teachers allowed that to happen. There was maybe one or two Jewish people in that overwhelmingly white school. 8th graders got to be “nazis” and 7th graders were “Jews”. It…

It seems like you might be missing something important...

Is this the Rego Park one? I hope they’re unrelated because I saw them on flushingfood.com and the idea of not going outside for pastrami is amazing.

Yeah, this is disappointing. Luckily, there’s no shortage of kosher delis in LI.

I also remember her defending the posting of a certain incredibly invasive (and not newsworthy) article that Nick Denton rightfully decided to pull and her deleting comments that called her a hypocrite. I also remember her exploiting the Sony hack to publicize and shame a woman for her private purchases. She seems to…

Wow, I could not make it through that essay. Natasha Vargas-Cooper is still and probably will always be a complete asshole. Not surprised at Bill Maher being a bigoted asshole either.

It’s like they don’t want to make a good movie.

Thank you! I’ve been referring to post grunge/late 90s early 2000s rock as “butt rock” for years. I knew it was a thing, but I don’t know where I got it from.

If by people who “validate and support” them you mean their fanbase, I doubt they are responsible for electing Trump as they are mostly teenagers and women between the ages of 18-35 (largely Hispanic). If you’re including Kanye fans, it would veer even further away from the Trump supporter demographic.

This was all of middle school for me. But as much as I wanted to offend every one of them that laid their hands on me, I had just preferred to disappear.

Can someone explain why they go by “Chyna” and “Tokyo”?

My lips get really bad... Like peeling bleeding, can’t-eat, can’t-drink-without-a-straw bad. I rotate between Smith’s Rosebud Salve (smells great) and Lucas’ Papaw Ointment (smells not good but is great for healing).

She’s Havanese.

My dog absolutely is my baby.

Oh my god my favorite liquor store burned down a few weeks ago! I’m still heartbroken...

Opportunity to post pics of my dog in costume? Yes, please!

5 generations going back ~240 years is not impossible. Some googling tells me her father was born in 1928 and his grandfather was born in 1828.
