The DMCA needs to be updated and changed, no doubt about it, but this is the wrong way to go about it. This would have a chilling effect on smaller artists and content creators on YouTube. Hank Green, half of the Vlogbrothers and musician, has been talking about this on his channel and his Twitter for awhile.

A good gazpacho is amazing. Especially in heat like this. And it can also be used as a fresh Bloody Mary mix.

I just started back at the gym and dieting, so...only two boxes tonight?

I love that this is the ad I get in the middle of this post.

My mom did that for a while. There was a solid10 year period where I’d go ‘shopping’ at my parents house because she bought 75 deodorant sticks for $4. I think I bought my first bar of soap when I was 27. Whe. Us kids moved out she realized it was a waste of time and stopped

This is about butt stuff right

Secondly, you are not living if you haven't gotten baked and binge watched a marathon of Extreme Couponing. Will they stay below their max budget of $6 for $600 worth of shit they don't need? STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT.

Goddamn I love coupons, regardless of their origin.

This makes total sense to me. Between clipping coupons and Target’s Cartwheel app, I routinely save 15-20+% on groceries, makeup, and cleaning supplies. Do I long for the day when $10 won’t make a huge difference to my bank account? Sure. But for so many of us who reached maturity during the recession coupons can be a

As a grown man, I’m troubled that I have answers for your questions.

Aside from the noise, they also complain that all the work above has shaken the molding and cabinetry in their space, and a bedroom ceiling collapse in 2014 caused $10,000 worth of damage.

According to this site, NYC doesn’t allow construction before 7AM anyway, regardless of the condo building’s rules.

Oh I know...my best friend comes from old money and they’re mostly just sort of oblivious but nice enough. Like, when you mention that your family lives near some shopping center and they’re like, “Oh, we almost bought that property haha what a coincidence!” and you’re like, “Yeah, haha, totally!” and then try to do

Hey, I don’t criticize your hobbies!

It’s an awful thing to put up with. There’s a building site directly across from my block of flats and the digging into bedrock began in October at 6.32am and went on until 4.30pm. Until they changed it around January. Then it started at 6.03am and went on until 5pm. Then then stopped digging, but only drive in

I once wrote an angry note to what turned out to be a street light for shining directly into my bedroom and distrubing my sleep.

100% agree. I know its hard to feel bad for rich people living in fancy buildings when the mere idea of owning an apartment in NYC seems like a unicornesque fantasy, but those co-ops charge through the nose in maintenance fees, and I would certainly be pissed if my neighbor was just blithely allowed to disregard the

I live across the street from my small city’s downtown shopping area and they regularly do overnight maintenance in the parking garage. They use some kind of hydronic drill that echoes so loudly that I thought someone was doing construction work in the restaurant down stairs. 6 am but 2-3 am when you wake up for work

Being a student our “two bedroom flat” is actually a one bedroom flat but the living room has a bed in it. So I sleep under my neighbour’s living room and he happens to enjoy singing and playing guitar from around 1am-7am and then start again at 11am (right when I attempt to sneak in a nap). It was the bane of my

I too was held hostage by 6am construction and was brought to the brink of insanity. IIRC you cannot pull a building permit in NYC that allows private construction to start earlier than 8am. But the problem is getting the building dept to catch them doing it (good luck) and even then the fines are nothing to someone
