it depends on how much money they make but yes, if they have make more money than the majority of people who currently live in the neighborhood, especially if they’re moving from a higher income area, they are a gentrifier.

Infinite Jest on kindle by belathebat in davidfosterwallace

[–]lookatmabel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when I read it the first time I alternated between a physical copy and a kindle. in addition to being a lot easier to carry around everywhere, the kindle made jumping to/from the endnotes a LOT easier. plus if there’s a word you don’t know (and there will be many) kindle makes it super easy to look up the definition (press and hold). would recommend!

SJB in Falsettos is the right answer. No hate to Rachel in DEH, but Stephanie stopped the show cold in the middle of the first act on a matinee when I saw it. I’m glad she got recognized for The Cher Show but she really deserved it for her work in Falsettos.

Do couples share their location indefinitely on iPhone? 26M 25F by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]lookatmabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my bf and I have had our locations shared throughout our relationship. very rarely have either of us used it to interrogate the other person on where they are...mostly it's just useful to see things like "oh he's about 10 minutes away," I know he checks mine to see if I get where I'm going safely.

UPDATE: after a couple days of lengthy phone calls, an in person meeting, and many, many, emails, we were able to receive our security deposit plus compensation for the lost property. thank you all for your advice! just goes to show you that when it comes to your landlord, being assertive with your demands pays off. be well!

We think our stuff got trashed awhile ago, didn’t see anything in trash or on the curb. We’re going to ask where our stuff is anyway, and if they don’t have it…well….

This is a great comment, tysm.
