It was widely reported that the reason Melania wouldn’t move to the White House for the first several months of the Trump regime is that she was renegotiating her prenup. She also has plenty of dirt on Trump at this point. If he paid off Stormy Daniels he’ll certainly pay off Melania, the question is whether he can…

Your anger and pain are certainly justified. But ultimately if there is no form of forgiveness and unity, it will unfortunately be bad for everyone, including you. We won’t be able to survive as a nation with half of the country hating the other half, even when one of those halves is clearly in the right. Statements…

You’re going to see this happen more and more as they will be able to do love scenes without worrying about social distancing. It will be more comfortable for both actors and audiences. I know SNL is maintaining a bubble and all that but I actually winced when I saw the sketch where John Mulaney and Kate McKinnon were…

At some point on this site I got involved in a back and forth with someone who was upset that lack voters were being “blamed” for the Trump victory and that it wasn’t their job to “bail out” America and they had no obligation to vote Democrat. I can imagine that a lot of black voters feel taken for granted by…

And EVERY WEEK Dennis slams SNL for basically not openly calling for revolution - he even digs at Jost and Che this time around for not being aggressive enough when they literally said Trump will cause many deaths. Yet he lets that line slide???

Thanks! The best pies I’ve had in the city as of late were from Petee’s, their pecan pie is best in class and in years with good fruit the peach and berry also incredible. They are EXPENSIVE though so I stopped getting them for Thanksgiving ;-(.

Thanks for the recommendation! I have a car right now and would be willing to make the drive if I get a pie too ;-). Are the pies just as good?

Yes, Dunkin’s quality has appreciably declined and I’m not sure if I’ll ever waste the calories on them again. Being in NYC my fave is Peter Pan - their sour cream donuts are worth the special hour-plus round trip it takes me to get them. But even farmers’ market cider donuts are way better. 

Well, I’m 5' 10" so it’s mostly shorter guys. But honestly, even when I was a hot 20-something, guys who are WAY shorter rarely go after a tall gal. Like, no one below 5' 6" ever tried it. ;-).Guys who are say 5' 8" also often lie and say they are 5' 10" online, but I’m less bothered by that than the guys who shave 20…

What makes you think this was ever under their control??? Most aspects of voting are under state control and when Republicans were voted into statehouses across the country in 2010 they essentially did whatever they wanted. Having Obama in the White House or a thin majority in the Senate wouldn’t make any difference…

I felt like the naked wrestling scene was key because it was just pure slapstick physical comedy. Scenes like the frat guy one mixed comedy with horror for me -it was really depressing to see how much racisim, sexism, etc. was just below the surface for so many apparently normal/regular people. After an hour or so of…

Seriously. Particularly if he’s not even interested in sex why bother? And btw it cracks me up that someone with rather esoteric requirements can then be astounded his “dream dude doesn’t exist.” Try being a middleaged woman in good shape with a good job in NYC and trying to find a non-hideous single straight guy with…

I’m certainly not arguing that people do spend money on frivolous things, and speaking as someone who makes literally more than ten times more than you I know I personally have wasted lots of my own money! But I think the larger point here is that minimum wage - which it sounds like you’re making albeit not fulltime -…

It’s great that you’ve been able to make the best of the budget you have but I think it’s not quite fair to think that folks who can’t get by on that are wasting money on “frivolous things.” First, for many folks health insurance/health care, prescriptions, etc. are essential to survive, and I would think most can’t…

I gained enough weight during the pandemic that I HAD to buy some new clothes - just around 10 lbs but it was enough that some of my underwear was getting tight ;-(. But these days that transpires to stuff on sale at Old Navy etc., where I was getting new T-shirts for less than $20. I am going to have to go on a…

I just did a quick look (I track my spending monthly) and it looks like I’m down around 50% thanks to no travel, restaurants or theater and dramatically reduced spending on clothes. The majority of the money I am spending is going towards home-based expenses - some items to fix up my patio since it’s the only way I…

Ah I see. That’s harder for me to understand as I’m Chinese-American and grew up eating every meal with chopsticks. I think the big issue with ramen is one that a fork won’t help with though- you’re really supposed to get your face in there (like, inches from the bowl) and slurp away which isn’t well suited to a roman…

Just wanted to clarify, are you saying you found it difficult to order ramen? Here in NYC where there are a zillion ramen stores it never seemed confusing to me. There are typically a few basic kinds on offer along with a number of toppings and it’s common for menus to have photos along with descriptions. The one…

I once worked on a team with folks from Minneapolis and my evil New Yorker game was “get the Minnesotans to complain.” Even when it was 40 DEGREES BELOW with windchill, the most they’d say was something like “Yep, it sure is getting nippy our!” or “the kids do get a little restless when they can’t go out but then we…

It is literally true that the US is more litigious than other countries due to factors like access to nationalized healthcare (which makes it less likely people will be stuck with crippling bills), limitations on contingent fee arrangements in some countries and factors like corporations being treated as different…
