I'm tired of living in my current city (KCMO) and really want to move somewhere else but I have no idea what sounds cool. I am lucky enough to be in a very in demand healthcare field that I can find a job in pretty much anywhere in the US sooooo what places have you enjoyed living in? Which ones suck and should be avoided?
New York City here, Manhattan even
If youre a well paid software dev, its great. Its got the best public transportation in the country, the food is unimaginable, and despite what people think the people here can be really nice. I have loads of pleasant interactions all the time. If you like art, movies, or music all of that is here in buckets, youll be entertained.
The bad is, well, the obvious, is that its expensive but more so than that its a police state. Cops, this weekend, threw a guy out of the subway because he asked them to wear a mask, which is of course minor compared to the executions theyve been known to give out. The police union is the strongest force in town, they can threaten the mayors daughter and get a "thank you, brave heroes" for it. Also the city feels lonely these days, but that could just be me, being me.
i still cant believe that bill deblasio didnt say anything about the police union leaking his daughter's mugshot / intake information....like talk about spineless. You'd at least think the soul sucking politcian people would look out for their family, whose security they presumably sold their soul for
I assumed he kept his mouth shut for just that reason, looking out for his family. Arresting the daughter on false pretenses was a very specific message that nobody is safe from the violence of the police.
yeah but deblasio has been pissing off the police union for years, he definitely bows down to them but, i'd at least think he wouldnt feel out of place receiving their vitrol. at the very least his daughter should have sued.
as someone who vaguely knew his daughter growing up (we're the same age and she was known as a huge stoner who would randomly add people in our age group who went to nyc public schools on social media under the name trippy hippy ), i kinda suspect that deblasio didnt go after the police union because him and his daughter as estranged as fuck, at least that was the vibe i got from her social media/ from some of our mutual friends.
although i do think her primary addy on her intake sheet listed gracie mansion so who knowwwsss!
but chiara wouldnt be the first estranged activist kid and if ella emhoff can pout her way through bushwick, then so can she
edit: lol heres an article about chiara's social media stuff, seems like i wasnt the only one https://pagesix.com/2014/10/06/chiara-de-blasio-deletes-trippy-hippie-instagram-account/
if that's the case it's pretty fucked, can't imagine letting a family member get fucked with like that and not doing anything if it wasn't an intentional threat
Yeah, at this point I assume every major new york politician has a police scope on them at all times. Its the only explanation.
diblasio is lib shit
