This is a perfect metaphor because I love vegetable pizza and Sundays— because Sundays are the only day people will leave me alone so I can eat my pizza by myself. Vegetable pizza is similar because when I order it nobody else wants any.

I'm talking about Jay Z's involvement in the Atlantic Yards project, which displaced a lot of people and really ramped up gentrification in downtown Brooklyn. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/iteam/bl… . It's not about him making the neighborhood cool or interesting, it's about the actual development and the damage it…
I think I saw some advice somewhere that suggested telling a friend "I can't invite you to the wedding but I'd love you to help me with dress shopping!" So basically "no food or drinks for you but help me with this random errand!" So yeah, no ideas. I'll just stay single forever (I don't think that'll be a challenge,…
I think it's that he's cooler, and actually from Brooklyn, and most people don't make the connection between him and Atlantic Yards. But he's doing way more to perpetuate gentrification than Taylor Swift.
I think a lot of the outrage over her is coming from people who haven't lived in NY that long, and hence think the city has gotten exponentially less interesting and edgy lately and Taylor Swift is now the sign of the endtimes. When you've lived here awhile you see that while gentrification is terrible and swift, it's…
It took me a few minutes too. Though, I kind of don't hate the idea of throwing a bigger party that includes people you can't invite. At my theoretical wedding would I be allowed to do this if the invitations said "PLEASE DO NOT BUY A GIFT THIS IS NOT A GIFT-GIVING THING SERIOUSLY FOR REALS"?
I am really enjoying all the people who read the headline and came immediately down here to bitch about weddings in general without reading the article.
Jesus people, leave Taylor Swift alone. She's a nice lady and far from the first highly privileged person to move to NYC. I find it really ironic that her NY anthem is getting called "a gentrification anthem" and being unfavorably compared to Empire State of Mind, when Jay Z, as co-owner of the Nets, was directly…
That guy has the douchiest face I have seen in a loooong time.
Also I understand that this is irrelevant to the crux of the topic but her boobies look EPIC.
My comment was the opposite of that!
I think it'd reductive to say it doesn't work because women want marriage and men just want the sexings, but I think it doesn't work as well as Grindr and other gay dating apps because men want to go straight to the dirty talk and penis pics and women do not. Conversations I had on Tinder either got gross and too…
Yeah, the headline of this article is a major exercise in hyperbole.
Are people actually ending up in relationships from Tinder though? Personally, I've been on it a few times but got bored by how little you could find out about the person— it was super boring getting a whole bunch of likes but having them all turn out to be boring or dumb or sexist. There was one guy I almost met up…
One year I dressed up as Old Greg from the Mighty Boosh. I like cheese and social justice and puppies.
You don't find it plausible that this is just 9 jilted exes who want revenge? Gawd, feminists will do ANYthing to put a man in jail!
. . .so you called him "David Beckham's son" repeatedly throughout the article because you couldn't stand to type Brooklyn Beckham more than once, right? Good call. DO NOT NAME YOUR CHILDREN BROOKLYN.
Thank you so much for this. That brief aside to "many women don't wedding diet and that's great!" is not nearly enough to counteract the promotion of this shitty, shitty tradition.
There's so much wrong with this comment I can't even get into, but I might as well just point out the issues with the BMI go well beyond musculature. It was never intended to be applied to individuals, and the science doesn't even makes sense. http://www.npr.org/templates/stor…
