Imagine celebrating the area you live in like it's a personal accomplishment

(this post is sponsored by upstate gang)

yeah i actively shit on where I'm from, my accomplishments (and autism) speak for themselves.

I think it's funny because the literal only good things about new York are things like public transit and the variety of things to do. Which mirrors the worst things about it, namely dense population, pollution, mindless consumer culture, wealth inequality, etc.

good public transit

I don’t even have a sense of smell, but I can sometimes taste piss in the air on the subways (not that I’m complaining 😛).

Thankfully, I live a walking distance to the office so I don’t have to take them too often. I do enjoy all the shows and museums around though.

What you're from like some sort of one horse hick town upstate like Yonkers?

us westchester countycels are a sad folk

The Virgin Westchester v the Chad Fairfield County

What is it with the East Coast inferiority complex? Its genetic at this point.

Unironically this, and i live in one.

Coastal cities are why I support global warming.

America should be a landlocked country

Ruarlcels get mad when you remind them of liberal costal superiority. I can see why if I lived in a shithole red state I would be jealous of all the prime ethnic bussy that's flooding nyc.

Ruarlcels

In America, where there is melanin, there is civilization. Melanin is directly proportional to the percentage of convenience stores in the locale that offer sparkling water. While in areas with white populations over 90% people seem to be banned from owning any item newer than 1985 and absent a thin coat of rust. You know you're really about to start reenacting Deliverance when you walk into a gas station and find they offer a wide variety of deep fried foods. Run.

Bragging about having rich successful people in your city only makes sense if you're one of those people.

Remember, this is the same types of people that want to "eat the rich" and destroy capitalism jerking off over how many millionaires/billionaires live in their city.

Yeah because 'woke' neoliberal elites and tankies are the exact same people

If they're to the left of Mussolini they're basically the same right, just chuck all those into the same mental box

I have seen neoliberals and demsocs unironically saying that shit.

Boasting about being born in a certian area

Sorry. Cant hear you over the sound of my upvotes.

Behold, the most redditist comment ever.

When midwestern people move to a coastal “big city” for the first time and all they can talk about is how much they hate their hometowns/parents

Pretty common and easy to spot, tbh

Me except I love my family and moved to other cities in the south.

Tbf those types are the worst denizens of any major metro. Like most born and bred NYCers I've met are pretty cool, but the ones that "made it" to the coast are almost to a person insufferable.

As a born and bread NYer I hate those people too. Most people I know from here up and left ages ago and all the insufferable wanna be artist types from my university moved in. There very few of us left here.

I'm from a little North and I used to go down every so often and enjoyed it enough. But over the last 10 years or so most of the funky fun parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn have certainly become "Times Square"-ified and basically became suburban strip malls at the base of tall buildings.

Yeah it sucks now I’m looking to make my exit soon

I wish I could not shit on my old Midwestern hometown. But everyone who stayed there is depressed and overdosing.

I hate to break it to you but the Midwest is just objectively depressing from every measurable standpoint. Its probably the ugliest place Ive ever seen. I have no idea why people choose to live there.

Well you can live there and you don't have to get harassed by homeless people every day. You don't have to worry about getting mugged on the street. You can own a 4 bedroom house in a middle-class income. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Or you could live anywhere else in the country that isn’t overpriced hipsterdom or a rust belt wasteland thats like Siberia with even less natural beauty.

Also nobody is getting mugged in Nyc anymore thats a pure conservitard take. Honestly I wish we had more muggings, that way less “artists” from the midwest would come here to “make it”.

I come from a small town in Mississippi. I lived there for the first 25 years of my life. I always used to disagree with people who claimed Mississippi was poor and underdeveloped when I lived there. Then I moved to a coastal city, got used to it, and returned home about a year later. I was shocked at just how much more bleak it seemed than I remembered. So many signs of decay and poverty that I just didn't notice before because they were part of my experience.

And as for my friends that still live there, the only sources of employment are minimum wage jobs at a part of time that basically serves as a highway stop, and a plywood plant where you can earn a luxurious 15 an hour while being ground slowly into dust by the abusive and toxic management that in general treats the town as its own personal fiefdom because it knows the residents are desperate and there's no other jobs nearby that you can build a family on and get the benefits necessary for a halfway decent life. Most of them live in single wide trailors out in the forest, or houses that are worth about as much as the land they're built on.

You know, the coasts and the rural areas are both effectively 'service' economies at this point. But I think that's only because 'service' is defined so vaguely as to be pointless. You really need to divide it between professionals and, you know, customer service and retail types, low end services. When politicians talk about an advanced service economy, usually they're talking about jobs as professionals, tech workers, engineers, doctors. But there aren't nearly enough high paying professional jobs to replace all the high paying manufacturing jobs we lost, so most wind up in these ghettoized customer service and retail positions. But you can't base an economy an economy on paying people to sell stuff for a living to people that sell stuff for a living, it's the human centipede of economy's. Worst sign of the rot is that gambling is everywhere now, someone had the bright idea to 'create jobs' by legalizing gambling, which worked great when everyone else had it banned, but now that it's basically legal everywhere it just means that half the economy of Middle America is literally based on dumping money into a black hole in the hopes that some minimum wage workers will be able to grab a few of those dollars before they disappear. Just smoke and mirrors.

The vibrant economies of the coasts everyone gushes about, that's where all the jobs as professionals are. While middle America is an empty shell built around a collapsed manufacturing sector that's largely has nothing else for people to do but eat the incoming shit and then shit it out into the next person's mouth in an endless cycle.

Mmm. As a computer technician, I could limit my income by living elsewhere. Usually caps out 45-65k. Here in NYC, I can go up to 75k or higher. Yes my rent etc are high, but I don't need a car, car insurance, gas, etc. Prices for goods are priced the same nationwide on Amazon, so if I go without ordering a few lunches I can buy something like a PS4 or Switch in cash.

The more fiscally responsible people live just outside the expensive cost of living areas and commute in to get the higher salary. Me, getting all the services and food I could ever want delivered seems just fine.

You can tell this guy has absolutely no concept of how much he spends.

Also 75k isn't even high. I make more than that by jacking off on cam.

Deal

PM your fetish and I'll setup a private Skype

How is your Klingon?

what? 60k in the midwest is way higher standard of living than 75k in NYC

shit man anything below 45k in NYC is Eritrea-level poverty

Here in NYC, I can go up to 75k or higher.

Man that sounds like a salary I could raise a family on in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Lol 75k, he is basically a poor person.

It's pretty coastal and retarded to think that New York produces more economic activity than Texas and Florida combined

Texas and Florida are both big city states too.

Not TX and FL combined but the Northeast Megacity dwarfs any other region. But that is 24 million people over four states with the oldest most mature economies in the world.

52 million, not 24 million.

Lmao, this guy also said he was a fucking Green Beret, what a fucking liar.

“Oh yeah I was a congressional intern and a Green Beret” yeah right, I bet he also has 300 confirmed kills

The surreal thing about the guy...he goes to military Subreddits all the time and makes these claims.

There are countless wannabe military on reddit...but they are usually smart enough not to try it on an audience of active and/veteran military.

FYI I was part of seal team six

I'm against stopping climate change, mostly because I've been told like 50 times that NYC will flood if we don't stop it.
