Canada has better beef anyways

NYC is cheating

I’m a performance artist, far from Hollywood, and I have an alias. It’s called a stage name. It helps to keep my private and public lives separate, and it’s cooler than my legal name.

Someone’s decision to leave is theirs and theirs alone. I fully understand why people who have the means decide to stay, I also know firsthand how difficult it is to leave. Leaving is not an easy choice by any metric, and I’m not going to die in a repurposed Kmart so that the privileged majority can remain comfortable.

I left. No regrets, just a lot of grief. As a trans immigrant, the US does not and has never represented me.

Fun fact, I still have to pay US taxes but I can’t renew my US passport. What’s that about taxation without representation?

Only predators buy those glasses.

Every chud who claims to be part of the master race looks like a 90s happy meal toy that got left out in the sun too long

Sunflower seeds. I rarely buy them because I go through them by the handful

Yes. Preserving food is literally a whole science

As a lifelong NYer now living in Toronto I beg to differ. Sure it’s smaller than NYC by almost every metric except land size, but it has hidden pockets of community and life if you look for them. Compared to NYC, Toronto is greener, friendlier, and better for artists. It has lots of third spaces, which are all but extinct in NYC. Parts of NYC truly are nothing more than dystopian concrete slabs (ever visit Midtown?)

Unfortunately, both cities are victims to festering capitalism and governments that hate us, so you are correct in your assessment of gentrifiers stripping it for parts. The same exact thing can be said about nearly every city in the US and Canada. It’s almost always done against the will of the people who actually have to live with their changes. In NYC, just last year we all banded together to narrowly defeat a proposal that threatened to demolish Coney Island and replace it with a dystopian mega casino - and that was just one of six casino proposals that year. At the same time in Toronto, Ford’s spa was a mirror of the same type of development and now Sneaky Dee’s is at risk of becoming condos. I don’t see this as a failure of each city but rather a casualty of right wing politics and the greater class war.

For what it’s worth, I do miss NYC and all my friends and loved ones out there. As they say, you can take the NYer out of NY but you can’t take NY out of the NYer. I truly do love both cities and look forward to the day I can reunite them.

There are too many rural towns in upstate NY (especially driving up to Buffalo) where you keep your windows rolled up and don’t stop anywhere. Very white supremacist coded.

Yes. No. Local rich guy.

The regime has shown that they have no enforcement mechanism. Also, it can and should be expanded

If the US makes it out of this, the next presidential candidate must run on a platform of bringing the entire Trump regime to justice. The regime has exposed how much power the president actually has, and I expect them to use it.

Unfortunately I’m not holding my breath, I’m expecting another Newsom or Harris type right winger

…Toronto? Wtf is wrong with Toronto

If they haven’t denaturalized me by the time I get a new citizenship elsewhere, I have considered it numerous times…

As someone who is in the process of going through their second full immigration process (first was US), it drives me absolutely nuts that they can just buy citizenship elsewhere. Meanwhile us plebes have to be world class champions to even get entered in the lottery for permanent residency elsewhere.

He seems like the kind of person to complain that no one speaks English

It’s not funny, It’s not rebellious, It’s just demeaning to women.

As a woman, I’ll have you know my communities tend to use “cunty” as a form of empowerment
