I'm not.
I don't.
I don't.
I definitely don't.
Every 'perk' they listed is degeneration.
imagine living in a cage just for the privilege of paying even more to see splashes of paint on canvases up close, eat 9x overpriced food, have muhammad snort out the contents of his nose in your general direction and drink shitty, also overpriced beer
i swear these people actually know what they're doing is retarded, they're just blinded by completely internalized sunk cost fallacy (i have a bed and a job and am not starving this is fine i cant give up now)
Right? It's like they think we simply don't understand what we're missing out on.
I've been to New York. I've been to Toronto. I've been to London. Every minute that you're in one of these increasingly identical shitholes, surrounded by filth and chaos and being asked to pay a premium for it, you just want to get the hell out.
I don't need to go to an art gallery or watch a live performance. I have fucking internet connection and more screens than rooms in my house. These globohomo cities offer me less than nothing. They disgust me.
I think anywhere with over a million inhabitants would disgust me. Even 500,000 is bad.
London USE TO be awesome back in the early 00's but now it sucks hadji ass. Recommend Osaka and Busan over ANY western city at this point.
Like, I don't even get this point. I love food that tastes good, I don't need food served on a shovel head just because the lazy art hoe that owns the place thinks it's a smart thing to do to look "artsy". You can find great food everywhere if you look for it.
I don't get it either.
I've eaten some fantastic food at some fantastic venues. I've also eaten some fantastic food in a fucking Denny's. Or my aunt's house.
Shit, there's dude who sells baked potatoes out of a van near me in my shitty, small, unimportant, oft-ridiculed city, and they're the best god damn baked potatoes I've ever encountered anywhere on earth.
I definitely don't need to eat at some place reviewed by some ponce from a major newspaper in order to enjoy my food.
Now I want to know what these van baked potatoes are like.
It’s even cheaper to cook your own great food.
If you have a kitchen.
I live in what these bugmen consider past the middle of nowhere. We're walking distance from multiple restaurants I'd put in my top five for their respective type of cuisine. Hop in the car for fifteen minutes tops - far less than a subway or bus ride in any given city - and I have access to another several.
There is exactly one type of food you can't get outside the city, and that's special food that requires special equipment and multiple spices from different continents to make. But that food comes at a very steep price, and in my experience is so rich that it makes you sick if you have it more than once a week anyway. I'm not really into dropping 200 bucks for a meal on the regular, so not living walking distance from those places affects me none.
