LMAO I was searching for a thread about the action film White House Down and came across this post:

It is an interesting phenomenon. Like, obviously North Korea doesn't have the means to invade the US and never will, but there are so many movies and video games produced in recent years where it happens anyway and it's so obvious that it's supposed to be China, but they can't make a film about China invading the US because that would get the PRC to retaliate against the production company.

People on average pay 750$ in this region but my apartment is between 250$ and 300$ per person. Which is good news for me, means I can be less conservative with the rent the next time someone moves out. :getin:

Opera is different than musicals. Musicals have talking parts between songs. A critical American invention so the plot is intelligible.

Our musicals have hip-hop Colonial bastard's and jazz-dancing New York toughs.

Pennsylvania is the US state most famously segregated into explicitly different populations.

There is the Philly side, where the local dialect pronounces words like "water" as "wooder" and special cuisine are scrapple and cheesesteaks

There is the Pittsburgh side where the local dialect uses a unique pronoun "yinz" which acts as a replacement for "you all" i.e. "Are yinz hungry?" so its colloquially known as a "Yinzer" country.

Then there is Central PA where people kill deer indiscriminately and live in abject poverty from the total collapse of American industry.

You have to remember that the US never went full fasch or had a close neighbor wreck all out poo poo while high on nationalism. We don't have a collective trauma around overt patriotism that makes us wary of it like a lot of Europe, and so we're a lot more inclined to throw it around casually and think well of it unless it starts being overtly nationalistic.

Also dude, accent is more in how you say than want you say. The big one for me being a transplant here is how "pen" and "pin" are not homophones.

That is when I'm not talking to the dog, then I go far more southern than I am entitled to. But I think that's just a dog thing.
