Right, so I can go pay a to get into a place where there's 100% markup on alcohol, I get snubbed by people who think they're better than me if I try to start a conversation, and get to stumble home at the end of the night? Hard pass
What, so I can go see Hamilton for the millionth time? I can go to an art museum where 3/4ths of the work there is indecipherable modern bullshit that looks like someone gave themselves a paint enema and then shat it onto the canvas? I can go get overcharged for the price of a concert ticket so I can sit in the nosebleed seats and look at the postage-stamp sized supergroup on stage or effectively watch them on TV on the Jumbotron? Or maybe I should be hitting the trendy dive venues so I can stand in a cramped butts-to-nuts room and listen to some pretentious indie group navel-gaze for their entire set? Fuck that noise.
Besides, you can't do any of that anymore without being quadruple-vaxxed and showing your PAPERS PLEASE at the door. Miss me with that shit.
Again, why should I pay for an overpriced ticket to go watch overpaid millionaire crybabies play what amounts to children's playground games? Screw them and the culture they represent.
Overpriced, pretentious "molecular gastronomy"? Frou-frou gastropub fare? Bitch, please. Give me a cookbook with those recipes in them and I can make that stuff at home for a quarter of the cost you're paying for it in the city.
Nope, don't give a damn about that. I did my traveling earlier in my life, lived in a bigger city, and saw different people and different cultures, and I really didn't care to deal with having them around me. Despite the "melting pot" that the USA is supposed to be, most of them didn't give two shits about trying to meld themselves into American culture. If they're not going to try to learn to be like my culture, why the hell should I try to learn to be like theirs?
All in all I don't give two shits about being able to find a food cart that's open at 4 AM, because if my ass is up at 4 AM it's because I had to get up that early to do something, not because I'm stumbling home from the bar so I can no-sleep it through my shift at work the next day. I don't give a tinker's dam about there being shows and museums within 15 minutes, because once you've seen the show or been to the exhibit then there's no need to go back until the show changes. Internationally acclaimed universities only matter if you're attending classes, and them not being near me is why dorms exist.
I wouldn't trade my Midwest semi-rural life for anything. Anyone trying to convince me that city life is the epitome of living needs to get their head checked.
A lot of the "ethnic" food they love is literally based on home cooking by people of a different colour.
Maybe you need some ingredients and tools, but once you got them, you are good. A bottle of oyster sauce or a wok go a long way and tadam, you can make the things.
I know they try to tell us all us white people are not allowed to make enchiladas and yakisoba and whatever else, but fuck them. I do make things and it's good.
Word. I do Tex-Mex, full-Mex, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Indian, and just about any other nationality under the sun's food all from the comfort of my own kitchen. Sure, it sucks having to special-order spices and the like from online vendors when I can't get them locally, but that's the joy of the Internet. The "cultural appropriation" crowd can get bent.
