LA and environs has a population that is slowly getting angrily woke while the actual power positions are held by corporate shitheels. Anything progressive that happens down here is caused by statewide mandates or mass movements forcing our politicos' hands. quote:What kind of food culture does your local area have? if you're into cooking, or simply know of some local delicacy, please share a specific dish, with a recipe if you have one, of something that you enjoy making or buying yourself that would be representative of your local food culture. quote:Sharing what you work with or study for, or if you have any specialized knowledge, would imo also be interesting, because it would allow follow-up questions for specific fields, like, imo someone working with law or healthcare would probably have interesting insights on those areas. quote:If you belong to a minority group, do you experience harassment?

Like, how many different ones have you lived in, or visited for a shorter or longer period of time. Are some states essentially as foreign to you, or even more, than some foreign countries might be? Do you feel as if there is animosity between your home state and other states? quote:If someone was to visit the US for the first time, or your state or city in particular, what sights would you recommend?

Vincent Van Goatse posted:There's not really a distinct word for "a group of five or six houses and a store of some sort" in American English. Some parts of America are so thinly populated that that counts as a town. My parents retired to a rural area where the local "city" has a population of about 25,000. When I lived in Idaho, I couldn't help but think of Boise as a town, because it was so dang small and sparsely populated. Los Angeles, New York? Yeah, those are cities.
