Re: “I, Poppy”
Here's actual information on the (legal) nuances of this situation, for anyone who's interested. http://www.theafa.org/article/using-a-known-sperm-donor-understanding-the-legal-risks-and-challenges/
Re: “I, Poppy”
This issue has already been court tested. The sperm donor father will get tagged for child support if the mother sues for it.
Re: “The Secret Of Your Ooze”
The scent is individual and as long as a women is hygienic the taste will fall within a range of mild to more intense, all with a slight marine quality.
But one thing's for sure, when you come across a woman who smells right, something hits you in a subliminal way. Those women with the right pheromones are the ones who can drive you crazy.
Re: “Do You Try to Return Stuff Left in Your Cab?”
I left my electric guitar and a case filled with effect pedals in the trunk of a cab in the East Village. I thought I was never going to see my (expensive) gear again but called 311 anyway to file a report. Apparently the driver turned everything in as soon as he parked his taxi in the garage. Through the report and based on the description I made on 311 they were able to track me and called me a day after to pick everything up at the taxi garage in Long Island city. I really appreciate the honesty of all the people who were involved in helping me find my stuff! Made me more conscious about doing good.
Re: “Guys Who Don’t Put Out”
"...being refused, even a kind refusal like the ones you are giving, feels hurtful."
Bullshit.
So, having all that power and being "the gatekeepers of sexual desire" is still not enough to be understanding or to at least avoid reacting inappropriately? What are you saying here? That women can act like assholes because they're not used to being rejected? So, instead of saying to this guy, "Yeah, dude, that's fucked up. But you probably shouldn't get involved with any woman that reacts that way", you justify the inappropriate responses given to him. Ugh.
Re: “Are Artists Gentrifying Sunset Park?”
I agree with the native New Yorker below. Though Italians and other immigrant groups arrived and thrived in NYC, perhaps infringing only slightly on other groups that arrived before, we did so through industry and made a real contribution to the development of this city, from the establishment to labor rights and everything that is sexy to the monochromatic artisanal transplant who craves to be considered a New Yorker. The ubiquitous hipsters and yuppies only contribute liberal capitalism in their quest for a unique identity, which is really only a brand for the lazy and spoiled children of the suburbs.
Re: “I, Poppy”
No such contract is enforceable. You'll be on the hook for child support if your friend ever decides to pursue it. You can take that to the bank...
(Sperm banks have all sorts of licenses/permits and the anonymity protects the donor in some way).
Re: “Are Artists Gentrifying Sunset Park?”
Artists, in their infinite narcissism, like to believe that they can "cause" gentrification, but it doesn't actually work like that. They may play a role in it, they may sometimes be a step in the process, but they don't and can't create it. It doesn't matter how many artists flock to Detroit, for example -- you won't get real gentrification unless jobs move back there. Sunset Park, meanwhile, is just the next obvious neighborhood in a larger process that has been going on for a few decades now in Brooklyn. The planners and real estate developers of the city, the economy fueled by the finance and "creative" industries, and the perpetual housing shortage have a lot more of an impact than "artists."
