I promise you don’t get that much more for your money in NYC. I would never live in LA because I didn’t enjoy even visiting, but NYC is not a better $ deal. Between MetroCards, cab fare, other trains, and renting cars, I spend at least $3000/year on transportation to not even own a car, and pay at least 50% more in…

Matching family plastic surgeries are the new khakis and denim shirts on the beach.

True life: I have naturally full lips and every time I wear lipstick, I look like the joker within 20 minutes.

Yeah, I don’t get that. Why would anyone want to have a stranger in between you and the person they're traveling with? Super weird.

Or just fly any of the many airlines that let you pick your seat ahead of time. Many of them are not much more expensive if you book at the right time or through discount sites (or AAA).

In the past year, I’ve flown economy on American, United, and JetBlue, and in every case I got to pick my seat. The only time I didn’t get to at the time of booking was when I booked through credit card points. I know Southwest is cattle call, and probably the super low-budget ones, but I wasn’t aware many of the…

Yep. Becky Hammon HCed the Spurs summer league to win the summer league championship and seems to be a big part of the Spurs this season. I’m conflicted, though, because i’d love to see a woman HC an NBA team, but I’d also love the WNBA to be a lot more popular (maybe so that the players don’t all have to have…

I guess once you get rich, you no longer appreciate a good sale on food.

I would suggest that the author check out The ‘Bu, but she is possibly too young to be very familiar with The OC, which is a necessary reference to get the joke. Somehow, this article made me feel really old as an early 30-something 😭😭.

Same. I used to watch their videos on Channel 101 toward the end of college. This girl is so young she appears not to be aware of Channel 101, which doesn't feel that long ago, but I guess it was over 10 years now.

Agree. My parents are still married, so child support wasn’t paid, but my dad was a broke wannabe rockstar dropout when I was born. He got his ass in a GED, then trade school and worked a back-breaking manual labor job to support his kids. My mom got a menial office job when we were old enough to watch ourselves in…

I think they can garnish more if you're in arrears.

Yeah, it seems awfully convenient that the bff finally got her courage up when dude was engaged and she was single. His marriage to the fiancée isn’t going to work out because he hasn't respected her by setting proper boundaries with the crush, so he needs to end it. His relationship with BFF will also not work out…

He’s kinda using her as his sure thing while he decides what to do. He’s probably under 30, has been divorced, but is engaged after less than 2 years? He needs to slow it down a little. Also, why didn’t he and K ever say anything about their feelings until after they both had been married AND divorced if they were…

I feel like this dude might end up marrying and divorcing both women in the next 5 years if he doesn’t just end it with H now. I wonder how much K will still be into him when it’s not fun for her because it’s wrong.

He should end it with H for her sake. He will end up dating K and they will break up and never be friends again. Or, they will marry and divorce. I don't see it working out for him with either woman.

I work in Midtown and St. Paddy’s is way worse if it falls on a weekday and you work on a weekday (and probably in general). It’s all over the goddamn place. I can avoid SantaCon by not hanging out in the area where they are. I went to get lunch on 7th ave and 56th at 1 pm and it was a shitshow of drunk asshats…

I think they mean the parade not the holiday in general.

My $$ Breville kettle just crapped out on me and since they only have a 1-year warranty, I'm SOL. I tried reaching out to support and they didn't respond. Cuisinart has a better warranty, at least for kettles.

IIRC from having rented several places in NYC, the 40x is calculated pre-tax so she would have a couple hundred more to play with than your estimate, but it wouldn’t really affect the result.
