I also remember MJ grabbing his crotch 8 million times.

Yes! I grew up in a hippie town and whenever someone at a party now busts out weed, I immediately flash back to being super bored while dudes played bad Sublime and Bob Marley covers and talked about how great weed is.

Yeah, all the weed smokers I know think they’re enlightened. So boring.

Same. When I was in my 20s, I dated several dudes who drank too much, smoked too much weed, or both and it was lame as hell. Grow up and find life interesting without self-medicating every single day. Married a dude who barely drinks. Pot is illegal where I live and a conviction could cost me my career, so it’s not…

Same. I’m a tiny woman that used to live with a girl whose boyfriend was a rich stoner. I tried many times in my late teens and early 20s, and with good weed, but it just gives me dry mouth and makes me tired. One night I ate a super strong brownie and didn’t get high that night at all BUT spent the entire next day…

Hetero lady here-I like it. But only on curly-haired men. No go for the slicked back straight hair version.

What's the value-add for those highly paid consultants (McKinsey, etc.)?

See, she’s got her tesla for when she gives a fuck about the planet and her Escalade for when she just doesn’t.

A lot of you are forgetting that people don't just buy electric cars and hybrids to save money on gas. They actually care about reducing their negative impact on the environment and supporting tech that encourages people to do so.

Yeah, like Mercedes aren't known for constant expensive mechanical issues.

I've only ever rented a Prius, but I was impressed at the quality and sturdiness (low road noise, even). It made me want one, which has never been true of any other car I've rented.

I made $80k in 2014, lived in a decently nice 2 bedroom with my boyfriend in a half-gentrified part of Brooklyn, was paying off massive student loans, putting money in a 401k, and had money left over for fun. I don’t get what people are spending their money on who can’t deal with $87k for a single person. I made half…

It's for a single person

If you’re paying 50% of after tax, you either have private loans (which are not a good deal and I would advise any students reading this to avoid like the plague) or you need to apply for IBR, ICR, or PAYE. That should never happen with federal loans.

Texas has no state income tax. That's why property tax is higher than many states.

You don’t need cable and Internet should only be $80/mo max. I don’t see how you spend $50/day on food for 2 adults and 2 young kids NOT eating out. What do you eat? SF actually has reasonably priced produce compared to most major cities because it’s closer to where stuff is grown. $1500/mo on food is unfathomable…

You have probably never lived in (been to?) NYC. The art scene is entirely accessible to everyone. We have one of the best museums in the world (the Met) and it is free of charge. There are also many galleries, art shows, street festivals, cheap/free music performances, comedy and theatre within walking distance of…

I made $80k a couple years after moving to NYC, have a boatload of student loan debt, had a decent apartment and felt like I was a fancy king. What do people need to feel comfortable? A single person making $87k in NYC is WAY above median.

That's how much you would pay if you had at least $100k in debt and you make too much to qualify for income-based or income-contingent repayment. So probably a doctor or a lawyer, or an MBA who paid sticker.
