Some guy will post a picture of a pretty standard looking pepperoni pizza and say: "Imagine not living in new york." And then there's the whole bodega discourse, which is also funny. "For you non-new yorkers, let me explain: a bodega is not a corner store. It's a place where you can buy gatorade, toilet paper, AND eggs." Thank you sir for explaining that to a slack-jawed yokel such as myself.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: New Yorkers that need to tell strangers about their high standards and about how exceptional and unique and grounded and worldly and tough and cosmopolitan and sophisticated and cultured they are for being from New York are insufferably boorish.

If I watch a stand-up comedian and they mention New York within the first few minutes of their performance, I'm out. I don't want to hear it again.

What really bugs me is that they brag about their open-mindedness, but call anyone they deem a "dirty redneck" who moves in a gentrifier and thus not welcome in the city as if a good chunk of people living in Brooklyn at any given moment aren't "small town rednecks" themselves.

Not that they themselves are the problem, it's landlords, real estate "investors", and the "muh property values" types.
