Said the (potentially white) male. I found this sign unnecessarily condescending. This is not how you win people over to helping in the fight.

You make a good point but...

It’s hard to pick a “winner” in the things to be very very upset about with the onslaught of Drumpf and GOP evil deeds, but this is on the top (along with everything else, like the ACA. Ugh....one of those times where having “too much to choose from” is a bad thing.) This is so bad. This is so so so bad. And…

This upsets me, but part of me is preparing some schadenfreude, too.

Of course there’s profit. We’re seeing the end of the United States as everything — everything — is transferred to corporate control. They’re not even fig-leafing it anymore. Trump isn’t an outlier with no real ties to modern Republicanism, he’s their end-game. This is a coup from within, without a shot fired. It’s…

What we apparently need is these assholes to find out how much benefit they gain from these programs. And the lack of them is apparently the only way. For what will be an extremely meager (if anything) tax decrease for average people will result in massive drops of things they use every day but forget about when…

They aren’t. Fuck these people so hard. People will fucking die in the streets because of this. When they repeal the ACA, cut funding to social service programs, cut funding to affordable housing programs, cut funding to domestic violence shelters and all of this other shit - people will die in the streets.

Dewey!

This was my internet:

We were pretty early adopters of AOL, like before-it-had-a-web-browser . I remember being impressed when they hit 100k subscribers and Steve Case joined a huge party chatroom to celebrate with us.

One of the first prons I saw was naked pictures of Tonya Harding on her wedding night. I was telling this to someone recently and he was completely unaware there were naked pictures of Tonya Harding on the line.

My younger brother was the first to have a modern computer; we’d had Mac SEs until he decided to get a Gateway in 1996.. I was only interested in AOL’s hockey trivia room for about a year.

I pay $400 for a large bedroom in a house that has a 50 ft long roof-deck with a view of the entire skyline on one side, and a view of the stadiums on the other. Might not be Manhattan, but Philly suits me much better: dirty, angry, mean, but filled with beautiful murals! You get a mural! And you get a mural! In my…

To be fair, I’m old and married. And Uber takes me into the city (20 minutes) whenever I want to pretend I’m young and exciting again. But - wonderful thing that I highly recommend if you can pull it - get hired by a company in a fancy big city (NY, DC, Chicago, whatever) then just refuse to move there and work…

I’m fat....a fucking pint? Amateur.

Marketing and finance are mortal MBA enemies. Just tell the marketing people finance horror stories and that you are switching sides..

Yeah, starting around 2005, the Court Street area in Brooklyn, right off the Brooklyn Bridge became obscenely expensive. Williamsburg too, although I expect the prices to go back down (at least for a little bit), what with the L train shutting down for repairs.

I brought home a pint of ice cream the other night and my wife wanted me to share it with her. I didn’t have to say anything. I just looked at her, the way one looks at their spouse when they say something that defies all logic and sanity. She rolled her eyes and said never mind and the world was as it should be as…

I don’t care what the FDA says, the proper serving size for ice cream is and always will be a pint and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
