I know this is said firmly tongue in cheek, but I feel like I would have risked incredible harm to myself for the Family Mart employees around the corner from my apartment. Those people were a part of my daily commute, a routine breaking of bread and our most deep conversation was "would you like that microwaved?"

American zoning laws suck.

This is funny but the real thing we need to make sure gets saved from NYC is the breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese.

The weirdest thing is you think it'd be right at the intersection of the three states, but it's pretty well into Nevada.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Nah, gently caress off Queensland. Nothing north of the Barassi Line is real, or even matters. That handily includes Canberra.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I don't think that's right, tri-state areas are 3 neighboring states not just any group of 3 states

I remember talking to a New Yorker in Copenhagen once, both of us learning about what the other called a bodega. It's obviously a pub.

In Virginia there is also an area called Hampton Roads, which is more than just the city of Hampton, and it has nothing to do with actual roads. It's seven different cities, so it also gets called The Seven Cities.

Adding some more context here. In the case of Hampton Roads, Roads is short for roadsteads, an old British nautical term for a collection of safe anchorages shielded from currents and riptides. :eng101:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadstead

Puget Sound (Seattle/Tacoma/etc.) is also considered a roadstead. The term Roads had already fallen out of popular use by the time Seattle was properly settled and incorporated in the 1850s. The locals ended up sticking with George Vancouver's name for the area: Puget's Sound.

Always wondered what a Long Island Sound would be. It’s either a grown adult swearing at a child, someone farting into a megaphone or a car alarm going off in the distance at 3 am.
