She's shocking! She's toothy! She's fluffy in the head! It's the Electric Mink!
The fact is living in the city *does* tend to broaden your horizons, leave you open to new experiences, get you comfortable with tremendous diversity because you are navigating a world chock full of different cultures daily. That may or may not make you a better person....but it definitely opens certain opportunities to *become* a better person in some ways.
People don't seem to understand just how awesome city-life can be. Art museums! Great live music always available! You can eat genuine Szechuen for lunch and go for Ethiopian for dinner, and have opportunity to discover the differences between, say, Colombian and Brazilian cuisine! There's always people doing extraordinary things just around the corner, artists making kinetic sculpture, Buddhist monks selling beads, some incredible juggler in the park doing it just for fun.
Love it! It's these little subversions of the accepted norm that are the best. ^_^
The Chaos General stands before it's army, the devastated battlefield behind it, clears its throats, cues the music (from the Nurgling choir!), and begins to sing....
"Start spreadin' the news, we're eatin' today, we got a big ol' pot of it, stewed Ork, stewed Ork...."
Let me tell you, though, when the sun sets in New York and the breeze off the Hudson drops the temperature 10 degrees but you can still be outside in a tank top and tiny shorts, there is nowhere I'd rather be.
More seriously though, I wasn't aiming to spoil your mood, and sorry if I did.
I'm just teasing, dear Suzan, playing with the whole "Philly had an inferiority complex chip on its shoulder" thing. Fact is, I love both cities and definitely understand why you love it there. Never mind that it rhymes with "Stewed Ork".....
*duck*
But I do get to claim the title of "most public art of any American city", though, and we have street trolleys!
You don't get to count the brake dust you get coated in any time you set foot on a NYC street as an asset, you know.... -_^
I'll see your New York and raise you a Philadelphia. We've got better street food!
"Sapiosexuality" may or may not be a sexual orientation - but it *is* a useful shortcut to say "I think brains are super *hawt*!"
I do love some well-developed frontal lobes. Hubba hubba!

Is this where we a-woo-wooooooooooooo?
You're making me thirsty. -_-

The Tachikoma shorts were one of the best things about GitS series. It always seemed a crime they weren't included in the American release.
Yup. As I said, Notch was a mistake.
I needed that this morning. It's one of those days when I look into the mirror and can't see myself peering back.
OMFG this just moved me to tears. https://www.travelinqueeries.com/single-post/2017/06/09/A-Letter-to-Femmes-Feeling-Invisible
Zoe Quinn said something about the gamergate assholes, and Notch responded in all-too-typical Notch fashion while taking a break from moaning how he inexplicably has no friends.
