Fuck you dude. Seriously.

Why St. Louis? It's a great city when we visited.

Why not Detroit? That place is literally the asshole of the US. It's a fucking dump.

Sorry. It just bothers me when "literally" is misused as its antonym.

Using literally for effect before a figurative expression is proper.

Nitpicker...

Both of your names begin with K and I don't know how I feel about that, how's that for nitpicking eh?!

It dilutes the meaning of the word, like using "unique" to mean rare.

I'm strongly opposed to the use of the word "climate" to describe the state of the economy. It's always been a term to describe temperature or weather of a certain region (something humans do not control). Now it's totally common to hear "in this climate" (oh, no further explanation needed, sir!) refer to the economic conditions humans face as a result of human greed.

I dunno, this guy is an asshole. What's more is our metropolitan area is larger than Austin's. Not only that we have way more attractions and 3 pro-sports teams. I don't know what this guy was smoking.
