Agreed. The city is not some place where literally every aspect of life is unique and different. It has its peccadilloes and unique requirements, and is an amazing place to live (and, yes, I do think living there makes people ‘special’ in some way, much the same way living in Paris, Tokyo, London, Mumbai, or any major…

Evolution may be inevitable, but it’s not unmalleable. We can, and must shape that evolution into a humane and prosperous future.

I hope this happens more often than I know it doesn’t, if that makes sense. I hope this is a growing trend.

Also the repercussions of creating landscapes where people must drive 10 miles to buy anything (because Wal-Mart destroyed all the other businesses nearby). The increased highway-fication of small towns, further suburban and exurban sprawl along those highways, with strip-mall Wal-Marts dotting the exits. Not exactly…

I actually quite like Perry’s dress, but theft from artists is not ok.

Right. Only left-wingers hide assets offshore, or outsource jobs overseas, or whatever completely false bullshit you want to insinuate.

Not sure if still happening, but Macy’s was selling coats at 80% off. Got a Calvin Klein leather sexy as all hell for $80.

“NYC” = the 5 boroughs. “New York” = the 5 boroughs. “Upstate” = anything north of White Plains. “The city” = Manhattan. “Long Island” = Long Island but only the part east of Queens and Brooklyn.

Awww, somebody’s got an inferiority complex.

First season, NYC. What was Andre doing in his room the whole time? Did he just need a place to live? Why is Julie so aggressively dumb? Why is Eric so deep in the closet? Why is Heather B from Boogie Down Productions even there? How do I find Becky and get her to bring me back to the loft for forbidden sexytimes?

These are the only two that matter.

Surely this time a massively subsidized stadium project won’t completely screw over area taxpayers. I mean, that has to happen eventually, right?

This is how I know you have never been to a bodega in the middle of the night in a shitty part of Brooklyn.

Yes, sorry, thought your reply was to a different comment. Yes, I can see how that might be a factor.

Cocaine is against the law.

Um. What?

Burfict is a consistent problem. A consistent, serious problem, who is going to permanently injure somebody one day.

Right? I’m betting this is a door-locked, bulletproof-window-turnstile only deal. Try communicating your fucking soda preference through that (and a language barrier), let alone that you need to use the phone in an emergency.

I don’t think it’s particularly unfortunate. Imagine the horrors perpetrated against a race/culture if garbage human beings came only from that group. I think it’s important to recognize that every culture contains the full diaspora of human potential, both positive and negative.

Explain. These statements (except for the conjecture about life skills) are simple fact.
