Ah, yes. I should have prefaced my comment by asking which of the three Jerseys you are from/commuting to, haha. Central Jersey would not be the best place to live for Manhattan. My North Jersey egocentric self assumed you lived somewhere up here, haha. In which case—I always found commuting from Newark to NYC pretty…

I did it too growing up (to go to school) and though it wasn’t always super pleasant, it is fairly easy in terms of routine once you get into it. And Newark/Jersey City/Hoboken rents are a godsend compared to Manhattan (well maybe not Hoboken now, because yuppies/gentrification/bleh). But for the most part, the major…

Everywhere is cheaper than Manhattan.

Just live in New Jersey people! You can do it! It’s not as bad as it seems! I grew up there and I turned out TOTALLY FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But...if your ass was sparkly clean when you dried off on Day 1, why would it matter if you clean a different part of your body with it on Day 2?

Holy shit this entire thread was literally one of the most painful things I’ve ever read. This Arken guy—whoever he or she is—maybe one of the most petulant and frustrating people I’ve ever seen on a comment thread, trolls included. I can’t even. You’re a saint.

You’re a monster.

Holy shit are we the same person?

Actually the opposite – a game where you would understand slave trade from the inside by escaping slavery…

I don’t think anyone is upset about/critizing the “grand reunion” with his wife. It’s more about the calculated/orchestrated nature of it all. You know. Rich people doing rich things.

John Travolta? Tom Cruise? Sex retreat?

I think everyone's pretty much dealt with everything that can be dealt with, but I'll echo the sentiments that

Coming from a pretty poor family and an Ivy League school—many of us are not entitled. Education wise, sure, but—in terms of born privilege? There are more people in Ivy League schools who are on near full scholarships/grants/loans (and DEFINITELY need it) than you can imagine

GTFO WITH THOSE LIEEESSSSS

I died at "red rum," actually. The Shining has a special (weird) place in my heart.
