My cat and I just had a visit from the vet who makes housecalls and he added $9 to his bill for congestion pricing and I'm kinda mad about it

Lots to say about this but what struck me first is that "Yours," is a weird signoff for this sort of missive

A friend of mine is married to a Disney adult and they recently landed in Paris for vacation and went directly to Paris Disneyland despite the husband never having been to Paris. God bless but I couldn't do it.

I didn't turn 21 until the middle of senior year but coworker happy hours at my first job out of college were definitely my White Russian phase much to the bemusement of my older coworkers lol

Part of the rabbi's sermon where I attended Kol Nidre was about how YK is "antifascist by nature" - this seems related. Thanks for sharing.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is that store brand Cheerios are always inferior so my answer is Cheerios lol

Asking people whether the price of a given product is the price of it now or the price from a few years ago was literally a game on The Price Is Right lol

I was only there very briefly but the one that comes to mind is Temecula, California, which feels like an exurb but not one that's tied to any larger, better nearby city, being too far from LA and SD to really be within a reasonable distance of either

I look at the TOC as soon as it arrives, and read anything that I deem a "must read" ASAP (often there aren't any). I also try not to read articles that are in the print edition online. Eventually I just recycle them and don't think about them anymore, like closing tabs at the end of the day

I know we all sort of got over it with GW Bush but man, "nucular" still grates so much

Why does โ€œroommate cultureโ€ feel so much stronger in NYC compared to other U.S. cities?
Iโ€™ve noticed that in NYC, having roommates well into your late 20s, 30s, and even 40s seems way more common than in other U.S. cities. In a lot of other places, people usually transition into living alone or with a partner much earlier. I think up to your 20's is fine honesty, but once you hit your 30's as a fully grown man, I'd figure it'd be probably a good idea to have your own place by then. Who would want to be living like they are in college still

Is this just a perception thing or is there something about NYC that makes โ€œroommate cultureโ€ more normalized here?

Honestly can't get over this question on Reddit. As one commenter said, "it's the rent homie"
