All buildings in nyc have significant basement levels. Whether or not it goes into bedrock depends on which area you're talking about. The reason why all the tallest buildings in Manhattan are in downtown and midtown is because that's where the bedrock is closest to the surface. The more you can build down into bedrock, then the taller the building can go up. But i believe literally every single building in nyc has at least one basement level below the street. Flooding in nyc only happens during historic storms that happen like once every couple of decades

What possible wholesome context could there be?!

The other reply is basically the answer. If you feel a lot of wanting, then seeing other people have what you want can be upsetting. This reaction is more likely in some circumstances, like when you're relatively young, or you're depressed, or not comfortable in your life, and other things like that.

IMO the way to improve that is to improve yourself. Focus on yourself, work on becoming the person that you want to be based on where you're starting from right now.

But it also makes you happy when other people are happy

According to a websearch that's an oft repeated but dubious origin story

I think that was a particular brand that some people started to use as a generic name like kleenex

For real. Let's say I make parts for nuclear reactor, and I want to acquire a scented candle. There is no one who deals in candles that has any interested in acquiring nuclear reactors. And even if you put in a massive amount of searching and somehow found some crazy fringe overlap of a person interested in exchanging those things, the value of my nuclear reactor is a trillion times greater than the value of the candle that I'm looking to acquire.

Thank you! It's so annoying when people post forced-perspective pics without showing pics from another angle
