Right? “I feel it is right for each of these people to liquidate one of their properties and donate the proceeds to this effort” is an absolutely insane take for a bunch of reasons, but at least it bears some resemblance to how wealth works in reality.

I couldn’t agree more. The fact that citizens have to donate to disaster relief and medical bills for their friends and strangers is proof that we’ve regressed back to “alms for the poor” medieval standards of social safety net. Protecting citizens from acts of god (both by setting risk-mitigating standards before…

I have never had a problem with celebrities using their influence to help causes, especially the ones that go above and beyond when the cameras stop rolling. Are some poseurs? Sure. Are many genuine. Absolutely.

Watching a room full of people whose collective net worth is well over double the money actually raised for hurricane relief felt a little funny—a friend texted me during the telecast that if all the celebrities in that room donated a tenth of their salary to hurricane relief, we wouldn’t have to have to endure this…

Celebrities who raise money for anything are always chastised for not giving enough themselves, no matter how much they actually give. Every person involved in this kind of endeavor gives some money; some more generously than others. But I don’t see the problem with a rich person giving a nice chunk of change AND…

That’s a definite pattern among humans. People always give passes to people they’re fond of.

Stop using white feminist as a synonym for bad feminist. They’re not synonymous.

Awesome, so glad for you. I’m okay, there’s a tree on my roof and in my powerlines (roof doesn’t appear to be damaged, tree didn’t come through), but it’s really unsettling having the powerlines holding up the tree, hoping maybe today somebody can get out there and at least try to mitigate some of the weight. I’m not…

I do not know any information about this, but why are you willing to shove all white feminists into one category when it sure as SHIT is not true?

I have been barked at, spat on, and yelled at by more homeless people than I can count. I have found human feces about 3 paces from my front steps. I’ve been woken up at 3 am by people screaming “FUCK YOU FUCK YOU IM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU MOTHER FUCKER FUCK YOU.” One time I managed to see 2 dicks and a vagina…

“ she didn’t know she hit him”. Oh, okay, so your best defense is a reckless disregard for use of a fucking firearm? Like, I deal with a lot of homeless folks. Thanks to our broken mental health system, a lack of social services, and rampant drug abuse, it is totally possible for a homeless guy to, for want of a…

Shots fired.

Ummm....sorry, disappointed gullible pizza fans, but you were warned. That’s a question mark at the end of that word soup masquerading as a sentence. The answer to that question is obviously “no, we will not be presenting any such thing. However, we do remain delighted. Later, suckers!”

He’s cooking garbage with garbage!

The event, which took place in a parking lot in Bushwick..

you know what. fuck it. at some point you just have to blame the people who pay for this shit.

I had a friend in elementary school who ONLY ate the crust. She would eat it the same way Donald is above, and then she’d flip it over and pick at the bottom crust.

By these standards I have a luxurious pizza festival in my apartment several times per week.

lol @ paying $75 for a pizza festival in New York City. Oh midwestern gentrifiers.

I can’t think of anywhere in the world where it’s fine to NOT have 3 days of shelf-stable food and water on hand, in case of... Anything? Earthquake, tornado, snowstorm, coup... One time a contractor busted a pipe and was soooo apologetic about leaving me without water for a day, and I just pointed at the giant jugs…
