GXPBlast 597 March 26, 2016 Author Share March 26, 2016 (edited) That's where I'm moving this summer. Zero state income tax. Just living in NY state costs you a year salary every 10 years or so. Not to mention very low cost of living with surprisingly fair wages. As a teacher, I can get the same salary, but can live in a house twice as big that costs less than the price of one here. I'm from San Antonio originally. Totally lucky man, Enjoy freedom in the Untied States as NY might as well be its on repressive highly taxed European country and at least you can exercise your right to self defense without fearing the government charging you with a crime.

GXPBlast 597 April 25, 2016 Author Share April 25, 2016 (edited) Well they did it again, the bronies in charge of the meetup decided its a great idea to meetup in warzone east Harlem again. Guess me and other bronies will be missing out on this May meetup because we have brains and value living lol. Its sad as I and others wanted to go after missing the last one but sadly many bronies are not too bright regarding safety.

TheSqueelyOne 157 April 26, 2016 Share April 26, 2016 This whole thing reeks of danger. Don't go. It's not worth risking your life over, and it's much safer to wait for meetups in safe areas.

Wind Chaser 4,768 April 27, 2016 Share April 27, 2016 (edited) @SilverStarApple, this place has a history of corruption and bad politics. Go watch 1776 and you'll see how incompetent New York state government is in one running gag, even since before the US was a country, or read up on Boss Tweed, Robert Moses, or the Second Avenue Subway and you'll see how incompetent and corrupted the city government is. I don't know how many of us can stand the current mayor anymore. He's hung up on special interests and fringe issues and very out of touch with the working people of this city. What sucks the most about the political culture here is how the people just accept it the way it is, arguing that everywhere else is a risky trade-off. Tolerating incompetence from those above us seems to be a natural trait of New Yorkers, despite the "take no crap" attitude we're often associated with. Hence this topic. No one in that meetup seemed to care enough that it was a bad idea. Edited April 27, 2016 by Wind Chaser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverStarApple 849 April 27, 2016 Share April 27, 2016 Idea: We get the military teammate friends of Military Bronies to patrol the streets of Harmel while this con is going on, if they don't want to go in or whatever but like how they'll probably get to shoot/kick the ass of any criminals that think bronies would be easy marks. @SilverStarApple, this place has a history of corruption and bad politics.

Hence this topic. No one in that meetup seemed to care enough that it was a bad idea. Also, idea: Start gathering friends together. Then form a "The current governments of the world suck ass, stop dicking around with special interest groups, stop bending over backwards to please the SJWs, stop giving your rich buddies free passes, and maybe you'll regain the legitimacy you currently lack" group. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was akin to a slow death.

Gestum 2,493 April 27, 2016 Share April 27, 2016 (edited) There's properly a very logical reason for the choice of location. If you don't feel safe going to the meetup then stay home. Or get a few friends together and create your own meetup in a safer location. Edited April 27, 2016 by Gestum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Qiviut 22,444 April 28, 2016 Share April 28, 2016 There's properly a very logical reason for the choice of location. From viewing the thread and my own knowledge, two possible reasons are location convenience and cost. Manhattan isn't cheap, but East Harlem isn't expensive. The big problem is the monthly meetup (including the latest one) is located in one of the most desolate areas in one of Manhattan's worst neighborhoods. To have a meetup there (and a few blocks away from an abandoned depot) compounds the danger. 1 "Talent is a pursued interest." — Bob Ross Pro-Brony articles: 1/2/3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GXPBlast 597 April 30, 2016 Author Share April 30, 2016 (edited) Someone brave who can write a respectable PM should talk to Bill/Keith/Karen about this location. I can write respectably, but I wouldn't consider myself brave. I'm worried I will upset them still, regardless of how nicely I word it. I think all someone needs to do is create an anonymous account and just link this thread to them. Edited April 30, 2016 by GXPBlast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
