it's so funny if you ask an american, the USA are the best fucking place ever except any place they don't live at and/or are from and also often the place they're living at rn is "just until they move somewhere better", curious.

@lucy @disarray @p @vriska @georgia @sun Interesting, I don't think that's a take I've ever heard IRL (could be because I live in a nice place though)

casey is remote

@lucy @disarray @p @vriska @georgia @sun I mean, I'm not gonna doxx myself, but a pretty nice place on the Eastern Coast, in a house my parents could only afford with inheritance money

@realcaseyrollins @disarray @p @vriska @georgia @sun just say new england because what other "nice place" could exist on the east coast
@lucy @disarray @p @vriska @georgia @realcaseyrollins @sun lots of people on here from the more southern parts of the east coast seem to like it a lot
@lucy @disarray @georgia @realcaseyrollins @sun @vriska Well I didn't know you were including the East Coast when you said "America".
@p @disarray @vriska @georgia @realcaseyrollins @sun i love maple syrup god bless canada (and vermount or whereever burgers make their syrup again)

@lucy @disarray @p @georgia @realcaseyrollins @sun p don't trick Europeans into thinking Texas isn't terrible

@vriska @lucy @disarray @p @georgia @realcaseyrollins @sun holy dogshit! texas! only steers and queers come from texas and you... actually do have horns so i guess that fits :numbers:

@p @disarray @vriska @georgia @lucy @realcaseyrollins @sun houston and the hill country to its north have the second best barbecue in the US. also their mexican food has come a looong way in 20 years. not top tier yet but solidly passable these days
@Paultron @disarray @vriska @georgia @lucy @realcaseyrollins @sun I figured it'd be fine; I only had steak and burgers the times I went through, brisket, pulled pork. I have Mexican food here, gotta eat Texas food if I'm in Texas. But I assume it'd be Tex-Mex and my palate's calibrated for Baja.

@p @disarray @vriska @georgia @lucy @sun I hear it's really mixed at this point, but mid at worst

@p @disarray @vriska @georgia @lucy @sun Well I won't be crying about blocking (although I oppose it on principle), I was thinking about their illegal immigration and winter energy issues.

@lucy @disarray @georgia @realcaseyrollins @sun @vriska Sugar makes me nauseated. Weird metabolism, I don't know.

@disarray @p @vriska @georgia @lucy @sun It's mid alright 🙃

My experience there colored it a bit, although I'm an extrovert, it's actually not that bad except for the low population density.

@realcaseyrollins @p @vriska @georgia @lucy @sun yeah, I used to live in Nebraska. I actually didn't mind it until Gov Jim Pillen started encouraging dumbass laws to be passed and signed that made it actively worse for me to live there. I now live in Illinois which has some laws I don't like either at least they're not like, forcing websites to invade the privacy of their citizens by requiring ID age gates for websites and other bullshit. It's also why I moved my company here.

@vriska @p @disarray @georgia @lucy @sun The Midwest seems like it'd be a wonderful place to die of old age but I don't think I'd want to live most of my years there.

But you never know, maybe the right woman could change my mind lol

@realcaseyrollins @p @disarray @georgia @lucy @sun the great lakes region is wonderful except for the fucking weather, chicago is great, Milwaulkee is great, the north woods are great, the UP is great, Detroit has awesome food and record stores, there are beautiful state and national parks

its just too fucking cold

@vriska @realcaseyrollins @disarray @georgia @lucy @sun Pffff. The cold is fine. I think people complain about the cold out of proportion with the cold. I was in Chicago in January, I wore jeans and a hoodie. Friend that lived there, everywhere we went, he keeps asking if I'm cold. I'm not fuckin' cold! So I take the hoodie off, T-shirt and jeans. Cold is a low-energy state, the definition of "cold". The molecules go all Jeb! and nobody claps.

You just gotta never be tired of winning. Then you cannot be cold.

@p @disarray @vriska @georgia @lucy @sun

> Pffff. The cold is fine.

Look, it might be fine for you, okay, but I'm black

@p @disarray @vriska @georgia @lucy @sun 😂 😂

What can I say, black people love hot weather!

@p @disarray @vriska @georgia @lucy @sun I guess? It depends on what you mean by that.

@vriska @disarray @georgia @lucy @realcaseyrollins @sun Michigan? *Michigan*? Half of Michigan, you ask them where they're from and they say "Canada".
