Exactly. This is why a joke of a reality tv host is president. Running a country isn’t entertainment nor should it be entertaining. The government is comprised of complex systems and concepts that require steadiness, focus, high intelligence, and extreme attention to detail and policies. Does any of that sound…

Masterful, eloquent shade. 

What’s the point of calling the police on people taking luggage out of their Airbnb, sitting in the common area of their dorm, having a barbecue, mowing the lawn, leaving their own apartment building? Seems excessive and like a waste of resources

Agree on all points except concern for the kid. Kid lives with the mom and this is Drake’s Toronto escape/recalibrate home (his Fortress of Solitude if you will.) He has other more regular homes/apartments in the US, as most rich people have multiple homes or extra apartments depending on their needs. Also, rich…

Why do humans have such short memory spans? Does no one remember all the deaths from Fen Phen in the 90’s? (And the resulting million dollars lawsuit settlements?). That crap was just pushed out and marketed even though there weren’t enough studies or tests and there was push back from the FDA. But desperation to lose…

Girlfriends are typically not a thing for most people with crippling social anxiety. Unless she also had crippling social anxiety which is the reason they #vanlife together.  

Definitely the same maids that as a kid she made buy from her lemonade stand with their hard earned money. 

Rite Aids here in New York have beer. I didn’t know that for the longest.

Connor, Darren, and Garret too

Don’t forget about Brandi and Autumn. I’m from a small town in Michigan and those were always the trailer park white girls who got pregnant by the black guys before senior year. 

Thanks. They finally sent us home with pay thankfully. I think day by day as this grows people will have to readjust what they deem essential and accept the new normal, because this is serious. 

I’m still in New York but list of places my friends moved and are flourishing after the 2016 election: Berlin, Canada, Finland, Warsaw (to open a brewery which is doing very well), Sweden, Guadalajara, Mexico City (to become a nightlife and music consultant and is very successful), Tokyo, and the UK. My roommate’s…

I have several friends who left the US between 2016 and 2019, as things progressively got worse here. How many mass shootings, far right hate crimes and white power marches, clearly corrupt and inept government appointments/dismantling crucial programs, and zero upward mobility can you take? You can only vote, march,…

Yeah, as soon as it became clear we were heading toward shelter in place I stocked up on food, including coffee, and just make everything at home. I think people just can’t let go of the social/status aspect of “going to Starbucks.” I get that the employees need to be paid and this is not their fault, but Starbucks…

Several businesses and universities, including NYU, are shut down here in New York. This is serious and people need to get their heads out if their asses. 

Yeah, I’ve had straight guy friends try to explain the logic behind this particular strain of sexism. Like, my (former) skateboarder friends said the reason a lot dude skaters shun female skaters is because the whole point is to show off and do dangerous tricks “for” the girls. If girls are doing it too, who are the…

Exactly. I just had another guy I thought was super intentional and motivated to make a life together suddenly hit me with the cliche “I can’t give you what you need” with no further explanation of what he thought I needed. I’ve had several friends over the past few years have this happen after meeting these guys’…

Many women who defend violent male behavior have had it done to them. Like Pamela Anderson defending rapists. She was gang raped more than once in her youth. It’s a defense mechanism because if you align yourself with the abuser, you can lie to yourself that you’re not a victim. Basically, if women are the “losers”…

And then why have I never had a black or Latina customer act this way when I said “no.” They also have the money to spend, but are polite and treat everyone with respect and simply say “ok” when they hear no as an answer. Again, seems like arrogance and entitlement, not mental illness. 

That’s a personality disorder and detachment from basic empathy caused by being overly indulged. That is not mental illness. A Malignant Narcissist is on the personality disorder spectrum. They aren’t mentally ill. I nannied for one year in New York for a year and those kids were horrible to everyone around them. They…
