content: You give knowing looks to other New Yorkers when a tourist is being loud and annoyi  3000  ng on the train.  Yeah.. no... and 99% of the time it's another NYer being loud and obnoxious... or standing in front of the doors, or not moving in to the center of the car, or stopping to read the stupid smartphone right in everyone's way, or holding the doors, or throwing garbage on the tracks, or throwing chicken bones on the floor of the train... or , or , or, or... personally, I think vast majority of people here do the world a disservice by virtue of their mere existence.  You can break into a conversation with the stranger standing next to you if you both witness something interesting at the same time, share a chuckle, wish each other a good day, then separate and go on your way. Little things like that make it feel like a community.  Yeah, that can happen anywhere. That's not specific to NYC.  Little things like that make it feel like a community.  "feel like" is the key phrase... the feeling is fleeting. Wait 10 minutes. I can't even stand how slow NYers walk these days. NYC is a fucking joke any more. As I tweeted before: Today NYC is a cultural farmers' market, it used to be the farm. Art/culture isn't made here anymore, only sold to losers who still think NYC has some kind of cultural significance.
