I know the firefighter in question. The woman whose residence he was called to had high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes. What he told her exactly was this: “my doctor told me not to eat cheese, bacon, burritos and fried foods like chicken and French fries in order to keep my cholesterol and high blood…

Stereotypes are bad, says website that calls all white women “Beckys.”

The only one of my dogs that cares for a walk is a rottweiler mix- she is unaware of her size and LOVES kids. On several occasions I have had to lecture people’s kids because one ran up from the side and grabbed her by the neck and shouted “DOGGY”. Good Charlotte’s reaction was to sit down and wait for the attention…

Infighting is unfortunately becoming the norm. Disruption of causes, my point is more relevant than yours, Oppression Olympics and yada yada yada ad nauseum.

The proper response from a PR perspective is “oh, God, you’re talking apples and oranges here. The men’s game is so different from the women’s game, I honestly have no idea how she’d do in that competition. I don’t know if she’d be able to regularly beat Federer or Nadal or Djokovic over five sets, but I’m sure she…

40? 20? You don’t watch tennis. That is ok, but just don’t comment on something you know so little about.

How dare a hall of fame tennis player talk about tennis stuff. As a society can we agree to abandon logic while comparing sexes, because equality.

Fuck you. I’m tired of this narrative that gentrification is a bunch of white people going “This predominantly black neighborhood looks nice, lets move there and change everything about it.” If I could afford to live somewhere that wasn’t once an abandoned crackhouse, don’t you think I would? My choices are between…

White people leave an area: “Shame on them! White flight is bad!”

That’s the cycle of life. When the neighborhood can’t be sustained the positive stories about crackhouses and gyros made by Papa G. it is time for the story to change...

LOL sorry that economics is an unbiased science and doesn’t fall for your racist shit.

You guys don’t understand at all. People always say “why is everything nicer when things are gentrified? why didn’t they do this for the poors” here’s why. It’s called extra tax revenue for capital improvements that comes from increased property taxes that comes from higher rents. Poor people pay less taxes and they…

Whoa. a tradition dating all the way back to Clinton? just wow.

Guys no one owns Brooklyn or its History. Brooklyn up until the early 60's was 90% White.

Yeah not sure if you are aware, but this is pretty much going on in every decently sized city in the US. This is not an issue exclusive to Brooklyn.

So in other words you want to discriminate against home buyers and investors based on race so you can keep Brooklyn with a particular racial profile.

Move to the midwest. I rent a 1 story, with a full den, 3 bedroom, and yard i can set up a 100 yd target across, in the middle of farm land, for $650/mo

We couldn’t find any data on kale sales or the percentage increase in smoothies consumed, but trust us, Brooklyn is gentrifying.

He seems to want to be in that ‘Andy Kaufman’ mode....except he isn’t.

I waffle on TJ Miller, he can absolutely seem insufferable but he is a funny guy. I’ve listened to a few of his interviews on Pete Holmes’ (also insufferable but sometimes funny) podcast and he comes off as annoying but intelligent and it’s very confusing for me. I want to like him but I think he’s trying to make me…
