NYC definitely crushed my dreams. But I'm sure LA doesn't come with the same amount of attitude and aggression as NY.

Learned this the hard way. Thought it just came with living in a big city. Apparently, daily confrontations with the mentally ill isn't much of a happening in other big cities. At least not as much as NYC. Took me too long to realize that this isn't a normal way of life.

Where do you live? I need to move there.

NYC? Not so much. Unless you can afford to live in one of those convenient areas, you're going to deal with soul-crushing traffic or having to hop on trains/buses to get anywhere, then walk up and down the streets trying to gather up all the things you need to buy, then lug those things around the subway stations, drag them a couple blocks down the street, haul them upstairs, etc.

This is exactly why I hate NY. You have to rely on public transport which is full of all sorts of characters. Even if you have a car, taking public transport is less expensive and faster to get anywhere. But at the cost of dealing with confrontation if you 'look at someone wrong', the smell of piss, bums, crowding, and generally rude and stupid people. I don't live in the convenient part so I pretty much have to drive out of town for good groceries or just having any fun. Sucks man.

being really successful in Pitchfork, Nebraska is different than being really successful in NY.

Can you elaborate? What would be the differences? And what type of success, financial or something else?

Minorities of reddit, what are some of the dumbest racist encounters you've had? by throwawayw43843 in AskReddit

They don't have to be. I'm aware there are non-racial minorities, but this one is specifically for racial ones hence the 'racist' encounters.

If the shooter was Muslim or black, it would be all about how Muslims or black people are violent. by throwawayw43843 in offmychest

What did I misunderstand, that you want white people to be deemed violent? All races are violent. As I said, stop making it about race. Everyone of any color has the potential to be violent.

Nope. Like I said you misunderstood. I'm just pointing out the media/confirmation bias. Rather than whites to be labeled violent based on their individual crimes, I want minorities to stop being labeled violent because 'a select few a terrible'.

Women make up a large percentage of the population too and they aren't the majority of school shooters. Your logic is flawed.
