When I lived in London I took great pride in being a Londoner.
And I wouldn't take kindly to someone adopting it when I knew they weren't.
Small minded maybe. But it's important when you live there.
I can walk through London fearless. You appreciate that.
I can imagine new yorkers feeling that.

New Yorkers have zero redeeming qualities. I hope they get swindled.
Well it's a shoo-in for being top-three of any list of the modern world's most important cities financially and culturally, sooooooo............

The city itself is absolutely important. Its native sons and daughters are the problem.
Bill de Blasio was raised in Connecticut and born in New York on an actual tourist trip. His name isn't even Bill de Blasio.
Connecticut is tri-state at least - commutable on metro north. Massachusetts is another world.
is this true
@kneeblock ? i remember a 10000 word essay post about bill deblasios name but i only read the first 2 lines

I understand, but he was born to actual tourists.
When I read the headline about Yang's wife, I rolled my eyes. I still think she's being overly dramatic, but as we just pointed out. "Tourists" have no problem becoming mayor. When it's a New Yorker of Taiwanese descent, he's tarred as an outsider and "Not a real New Yorker". That cartoon is far from the most egregious thing I've ever seen, but let's call a spade a spade here.
Yeah, basically his dad didn't love him enough, much like many members here.is this true
A google search shows that this is an incredibly trivial talking point. He changed his name from his paternal family to his maternal family because his dad was a cunt. Lots of people do that. He is also from the New York metro area.
I had an ex changed her name to her mother's name for the same reason. She wasn't a politician. Although to be fair, she was a whore.

Western Connecticut and NYC are the same shit
Although it strikes me as odd, it's definitely trivial. It's about as trivial as someone's favorite subway station.
That does explain the people who want the government to micromanage their lives.
You can just grab them by the pussy.
Good people. On both sides.
Marjorie Taylor Greene deletes tweet calling Kevin McCarthy a ‘feckless c***’ in Holocaust mask row

Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrated and then deleted a retweet calling Kevin McCarthy a “feckless c***” before attacking the House minority leader in a television interview the following day.
The congresswoman told conservative network Newsmax on Wednesday that Mr McCarthy was wrong for criticising her for comparing face coverings to the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were murdered by Nazis.
