Some of these you can't do in some cities either.
I grew up in New York City, my pops is fairly well known, we're part of a large family, most people knew me as his son or one of my female cousins cousin.
Also I've seen LGBTQ folks get bullied, same with "neurodivergent" and other folks with mental and physical disabilities.
The only difference is that in a city you can find your "people" because in a small town there may be one or a few of you, in a large city there are many, but there are also many many assholes there too. Also public transportation is an absolute "plus" when it comes to a city.
Now I live in a coastal area of Florida that likes to think of itself as "small town" while being incredibly busy traffic-wise and having more population than Iceland, and that HIPAA thing is a real problem. My kid took in a friend who wanted to escape her crazy and abusive Jehovah's Witness parents, well the mother works where my kid went to the doctor a few times, she looked up my kids medical records and then showed up at our house. I gave my kid so much shit about how the mother violated HIPAA and how she should get her fired, and my daughter wouldn't, she just didn't want to get her friends mother in trouble, but that was a serious breach of trust and this woman shouldn't be working in the medical field if she can't follow the regulations governing the field, if I did similar in my career field I would be completely unhirable.
So being well known in your 'hood isn't like being well known in a small town? Maybe you need some perspective on the discussion and the differences? I'm just trying to point out that the similarities exist.
Also, I'm just generalizing NYC as a region to avoid specifics, why would I want to dox myself?
Also let's be real, there are far more well known families in NYC than just the Trump's, the Trump's are outcasts of high society, which contains people who are actually wealthy, also there's another term for the Trump's and that term is infamous.
You're still just putting words in my mouth, I already explained that wasn't what was meant, but whatever go off chief.
Nah you're just being an obnoxious douchbag ruining engagement on this site because you want to feel better about yourself by being a judgemental prick towards others, sorry your life is so small enough and sad enough that you have to try and tear others down to feel better about yourself.
Says the loser who can't let go of an attempt to be vague, sorry your life sux buddy, now perhaps fuck off?
