I don't really like cities much either, but I still can't say most I've been to constantly smelled like piss. poo poo on the sidewalk yes, but dog poo poo, because people in cities just can't understand that they're not a good place to keep dogs.

Manager Hoyden posted:Where exactly do you live that there aren't a bunch of people on the sidewalk you're walking on and people don't live in tall apartment buildings and it's quiet all the time I'll give you the fact that cities can be louder than the countryside, though they can be quieter too, if you've ever been in the country during some sort of migration. Or lived in an area with cicadas. Or any number of other loud natural things. But I've never seen human feces in a city square (though I don't doubt it happens occasionally, same in the country/small towns), and the only city that's ever smelled like pee to me was NYC in the summer - and if I'm honest, it's smelled like dog pee which has a specific scent. Also, unless your only experience with cities is Kowloon then it's not anywhere near as crowded as your hyperbolic post makes it seem. It's just you being a goon about the ocean, except this time it's a city.

I miss the city. Where I live all you hear is cows mooing and occasionally an overworked brotruck that needs an exhaust overhaul. I can go actual weeks without encountering a single other human if I don't want to. It's depressing and the silence is absolutely oppressive and horrible. I'd rather listen to the endless droning of people living than the nothing of the country. Like I just turned off the noise makers in my house to listen for 5 minutes. I counted four moos, a chicken fussing, and two tired dog woofs. Also four gunshots but that's probably Brother John shooting cans up the way. Sometimes I'd take the worst neighborhood of any city over this emptiness.

I think most cities have parts that smell like pee. You just have to know where to look. The only city I can say that smelled like piss almost everywhere I went was Austin. Geneva was pretty close though, but it was mostly concentrated on the buses/trams. Can't say I've encountered the human poop anywhere. Lots of dog poop both on the ground and hanging from branches in bags though. also natural noises are a lot better than city ones. I like sleeping with my window open when the frogs or cicadas or whatever are making a ruckus. City noises are too sudden, like a train horn or sirens are always going to wake me up whereas the relatively steady drone of frog actually helps me get to sleep.

PHUO: drugs are great. Everyone should do various drugs, but only after they turn 25. Your brain is still developing until then and it could gently caress you up.

I used to live on a street with a lot of nightclubs and pubs, in a building with a tunnel through it (for parking lot access), and a kebab pizzeria. Every Sunday morning when I got up and about before the street cleaners got to work, the tunnel would reek mightily of piss.

Is this just another weird goon exaggeration thing? That’s exactly how I felt visiting my sister in NYC, minus the piss and poo poo. I understand other folks don’t mind it but something about being surrounded by people and tall buildings is deeply off putting to me. It’s too much

Left alone with a jar of the stuff and some toast you'd eat it with a smile on your face. I mean you don't have to shovel it on like they do at literally every place that offers it as a topping, but it's a perfectly lovely spread when used in sane portions.

I have never ever liked peanut butter and jelly. Jam is better than jelly in every situation. But peanut butter and honey on toast is the superior breakfast food.

Let me help you non Americans Jam is a sweet sugary spread, usually strawberry or raspberry flavour. Also goes well with porridge or on a sandwich with peanut butter. Jelly is a gelatinous solid, comes in multiple colours and flavours, you usually melt it in hot water then let it solidify into a wobbly bouncy mass.

Oh jelly is Jell-O. I think in the US jelly and jam are pretty similar. Jam has more seeds and pieces of fruit in it I think. I like jam better.

Just call everything that isn't jello a fruit spread so that we can stop having this boring as gently caress conversation every time someone mentions toast. For gently caress's sake we get it. YOU'RE SPECIAL.
