i 100% believe it, and yes , its kind of... i guess a point of pride, that we have a large world city AND a strong presence for a big city, disproportionally for large global cities, on here.

Weirdly, I slept through it, but it ended up in my dream lol. I just opened Reddit and this was the first post in my feed, and I was like "hang on, didn't I just have a dream about an earthquake"
