Are you me? Also in NYC and also dream of a quiet place in Montana. My team has actually had discussions about Montana specifically.
What is it about Montana?
- yepthatsreality 7y agoNYers flooding MT would be worse than OHians flooding NYC.
- WizardAustralis 7y agoTed Kaczynski did some awful things because of things like a road being built through Montana near his cabin. I don't dare think about what he would have done if a New York people flood came through.
- slimed 7y agoI'm willing to bet you wouldn't refer to other groups as "flooding" NYC. Why do New Yorkers find it acceptable to say such things about Midwesterners?
- coldtea 7y agoBecause they're not a race group.
- remarkEon 7y agoThe Midwest is pretty culturally distant from NYC, or at least it can be. There’s a long list of things that are different, and a shorter one of things that are similar. Source: Am Midwestern, lived in NYC once upon a time
- slimed 7y agoMore so than Aleppo or Mogadishu? I think not. Sounds like a cop out to me.
- remarkEon 7y agoMogadishu is probably a bad example because there are actually an enormous amount of Somali immigrants in the Midwest. But I was really restricting my comment to intra-US comparisons.
- slimed 7y agoYou're missing my point. My point is that those places are even more culturally distant from NYC but no one ever tells them to "go back where you came from". Btw, also a Midwesterner. Recently left NYC. Finally took the advice of the locals.
- thrower123 7y agoBecause you can make fun of mostly-white yokels without the PC police coming for your scalp the way they would if you were to criticize the influx of any other demographic.
- slimed 7y agoAu contraire, you'll be celebrated for it!
- yepthatsreality 7y ago> I'm willing to bet you wouldn't refer to other groups as "flooding" NYC. Actually I would. In fact NYC has a great history of groups flooding into each other. Before I dive more into that though...there seems to be an airplane overhead?
- jborichevskiy 7y agoHa! I've never been but from all the pictures I've seen it's stunningly beautiful. I think I'm imagining it to be something of a blend of the Pacific Northwest and Yosemite, but more remote. Someday!
- golemiprague 7y agoIt's mostly white, NYC people are used to segregation of blacks on their own neighbourhoods and they want to keep it that way. They will miss the faux diversity during the day when the blacks venture into other neighbourhoods for work but it is a small price to pay. Worst case they will demand Montana to have more diversity which means ruining working class poor people life while segregating their own places exactly the same way they do it in NYC.
- emmelaich 7y agoIt was possible, when a single individual could write a popular bit of software. Ask https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lutusp https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lutusp who > wrote Apple Writer alone in a small cottage he built himself atop a hill in the woods of Oregon ..
- carrozo 7y agoAnyone else thinking of Sam Neil’s last words in the Hunt for Red October?
