though in this case I think she’s referencing his sleeves

I’m about the same age as you and for me it’s not that. I wasn’t in NYC when it happened - I was away at college - and I remember exactly where I was when I found out. I didn’t have a cell phone yet, so I remember anxiously rushing to my campus job so I could call my sister at her toll free number at work (since I…

There’s this expression, we vacation in other people’s hells, that makes me think of the world trade center. I don’t think it’s something that anyone not from NYC can really understand. I’ve heard parallels to the Madrid Bombing or the London bombings and while I sincerely mean no disrespect I don’t think they’re the…

Sometimes, you get chunks of real bread like stuff (not wafers) at Catholic mass, but those are the worst. It helps to remember that traditionally you weren’t supposed to eat that day you received communion, and even drinking water was questionable (John Paul II reduced it to an hour but my parents were traditional).…

I got so sick of people asking me to take them to ground zero when they visited. It’s like it’s where people died. This isn’t a tourist attraction.

You can make cake with nothing but a pint of ice cream and a some self-rising flour:

I got into a grad program that had some video editing (but I don’t do video - it would have been tangential) and required that I buy a mackbook pro with retina display, a machine that starts at twice the sticker price of my current machine. When I asked why, I was informed that since the teachers use macs I’d…

With great power, comes great responsibility. One of the benefits of a droid is being able to install unsupported apps. They warn you that the apps are unsupported and can be risky but it’s user beware.

I can’t speak for Cady, but yes they really are. I had an iphone for work and a droid for personal too, and my boss thought I was a moron. My biggest issue with apple tech is how much control they wield over the experience, it’s great if you like the apple experience, but if you don’t you’re SOL. The people who seem…

I misread. I read it as “men aren’t allowed in victoria’s secret”. Double negative threw me off ;)

I can’t speak nationwide, but the racial difference in uber drivers is very much there in NYC. My one and only experience with Uber was significantly more expensive than a cab ride and more expensive than the price they quoted me.

I think he’s not doing it deliberately, but I can see where you’re coming from.

1. you had better be talking about the gorilla and not the dude, cause that’s rude

I posted this upthread, but Uber is sketchy as heck. Yes Uber holds onto that data including your location data forever, they can track you in real time and if they want to harass you with that information they can:

This isn’t true. Uber drivers are less screened than most taxi drivers, and the company has more information (and the drivers do too) than your typical car service. When I hop in a yellow cab, I hop in on a random corner and I get dropped off near but not directly where I’m going.

you responded to the wrong poster...

Yes they are...

If you’re suing Victoria’s Secret because they won’t sell you boxers you’d have a point. But if you’re suing Victoria’s Secret because they won’t sell you underwear that they have in the store because you’re a dude that is discrimination.
