Has your boyfriend considered walking it off?

I take this so fucking personally. If they do this, people like my boyfriend, who is using Obamacare while freelancing and trying to get hired somewhere permanently, will have to spend their entire salary on drugs just to live. JUST TO FUCKING BREATHE (asthma) AND NOT DROP DEAD IN THE STREET (insulin-dependent…

Agreed! I think it’s a strange phenomenon too, because I know that for me, having lived there, it’s easy to see why someone would pay more to live there, if that was what they were into. Having grown up in Omaha, it was odd to realize that I had to switch my mentality to “Where is this concert coming that I can drive…

The amount of people on this site who talk shit about those of us who live in New York as pretentious idiots who live in million dollar boxes and only live here to say we live here is VERY HIGH. It’s really weird. I don’t know why people can’t just say “I prefer the suburbs to the city” or “I like living in the…

“That’s cool, I wouldn’t even want to visit where you live” - chocolatesystems, rude New Yorker

I know I’ve said this on other articles about the same phenomenon, but I think for a lot of people it’s a defensive reaction to the shade you get when you leave New York. I skipped out of town 6 years ago (almost to the day) for Chicago, and I can tell you that the amount of people who insinuated that I just couldn’t…

This sums up my feelings about people justifying their choice to leave NYC by writing ad nauseum about it and wondering aloud why people stay, aka, don’t make the same choice they made:

They have to do this because their collections are boring and completely unoriginal. Look for yourself. You could pick up these styles at any mall. Any mall. (Also, the random cuts are not interesting. They look like an after thought when they realized how dull their collections were.)

From my experience, she is probably trying to find where exactly the penis is at. It’s a good first step before the crying.

The thing is - you don’t have to feel bad for them. But you can say that you are not for a system that it broken.

My bestie has 4 kids ranging from 16 to twin 6-year-olds. She got pregnant with the twins just a few months after I met her. I don’t have kids. Our entire friendship takes place in her kitchen or den. I always go to her house because it’s impossible for her to get away 99% of the time. Which is actually great. We make…

I went through this recently. When you work from home in a new town, you just have to make it your job to get out of the house and talk to people— nevermind finding actual friends. It mostly sucks but then after six months you’ll meet one cool person and it gets better.

Just know that most of the other adults you meet feel the same way and would be thrilled if someone asked them to hang out.

In general, it’s hard as an adult with kids, careers, extended family obligations, and/or just life stuff (projects, vacations, dates with your spouse, just wanting some fucking downtime with no commitments, etc) to maintain friendships beyond messaging and the occasional phone call.

This bugs me. Like, your kid waves to me every time I pick my kid up. Why is it weird for you and I to say “hi” in the parking lot? Your 16 month old has better social skills than you.

I don’t mean to sound like I’m so great or anything, but I can’t believe how big of dorks all the other parents are. One dad has a kid who also plays on my son’s hockey team. At the rink one time I started asking if he wanted to go upstairs for a beer and before I could even finish he was like “NOPE”. Now he…

no makeup look: “you look soooo much better without makeup on”

Cheryl Wischhover nails the trend’s “infantilizing” tendency for Racked: “Reconciling being a grown-ass lady who pays rent and buys her own condoms while also enjoying wearing holographic lip gloss that looks like unicorn tears can be tricky, but who doesn’t want to be recognized as magical, I guess?”

When I was little I used to love this movie, still do:
