"I was in a bar in Brooklyn and they were talking fondly about the heroin addict that passes in their entryway every night. I said it was sad, and lamented that anyone starts on that path in the first place. Their answer? 'Heroin is actually really fun.'"
"You go in expecting a fun sex orgy and you end up with seedy perverts and rapists. Who'd a thunk these basement sex parties where they conduct 'vibe checks' to ensure you're totally not a rapist would attract creeps."
"Just saw a homeless guy on the subway platform in north Brooklyn crying and puking with trash all around him.

The democratic party is flailing cause they refuse to do anything to help people which is leading us right back to where we were in '17, most are predicting. But none of this will effect them so they can go on pretending woke"
"From what I can tell, Brooklyn is largely populated by late twenties ivy league grads financially supporting their manic girlfriends who would be 7s in any other place.
