Right, I work with people with developmental disabilities. The vast majority of people on my personal caseload will probably never be able to get a full time job even in something like fast food. Most will probably never even work part time or have any income outside of government assistance and maybe a small stipend…

pro-tips about Bed-Stuy from a 6+ year gentrifier:

Right and it isn’t outside the realm of some people’s reactions to being sexually assaulted to blame themselves the way she does in the letter. “Lol, I got wasted and stupidly had sex with 25 guys. Stupid me.” I find the whole thing to be pretty disconcerting

Actually, after reading the original letter I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a sex party. She basically says she went to a party, got very drunk and had sex with all of the men there. Based on her description I think it is either fake or there was something very predatory and probably nonconsensual going on (large group of…

I think it is usually brisket cured the way pork bacon is cured. Generally I’d have to say it is disappointing if you are looking for real bacon, but it is not without its merits

In Bed-Stuy, go to either end of the block. Ask for bacon egg and cheese on a roll. Get a bottle of seltzer or a soda and maybe some chips. Have the cheapest meal of your visit.

ahh, that probably makes sense

no. I mean what was on my plate wasn’t. It wasn’t round and it had a different texture. I know American bacon comes from the belly of the pig and Canadian bacon from somewhere else (the back?). English bacon seems to be something else entirely

The original article was referring to a very New York City thing. Most blocks have a bodega that makes a specific kind of super cheap bacon egg and cheese on a roll that is less common elsewhere. Large segments of the population eat them regularly for breakfast. I grew up on the East Coast and if I wasn’t living in…

Yeah, that’s what the folks who are saying that the breakfast sandwich isn’t a NYC thing don’t understand. We’re not talking about breakfast sandwiches as a concept, lots of places have them and lots of people do them very well. We are talking about the extraordinarily popular bodega style bacon egg and cheese that…

The only reason to have fancy breakfast is for the booze. And then it is really brunch

I feel like sweet potatoes are a whole other category. They’re in with yams.

It is true, you can get similar products everywhere, but the bodega bacon egg and cheese on a roll is extremely popular here and done in a fairly unique way that I haven’t seen outside the NYC area. I mean it is like fucking uniform, you can order bacon egg and cheese on a roll in any of the five boroughs and it will…

ok, so maybe you can clarify this for me. I recently ordered something called a “Full English” while out at brunch. It came with two eggs any style, beans, mushrooms, fried cherry tomatoes, a chicken and apple sausage, a little black pudding, a little white pudding and English bacon. It was ok, service was terrible.…

see but when I am hungover that advice just turns into “eat it with the paper thingy” and that isn’t what anybody wants

As long as it has real bacon. Sorry halal deli, but that turkey or beef bacon thing you keep trying to pull just isn’t cutting it

Well, we don’t know for sure if all 25 guys penetrated her vagina with their penises, or if those that did did so for an extended period of time. If they were mimicking porn, they were probably switching between a lot of different sex acts.

Right, the letter makes it sound like it the party goers were playing very fast and loose with consent at the very least

actually, after clicking through and reading the letter, it doesn’t sound like a consensually planned sex party thing. The original letter states the woman got “very drunk” and “stupidly” “had sex with all the guys there.”
