all wrong.
Urban: acts moronic, is moronic
Rural: just wants to grill, calls you moronic
This is accurate for rural rural America too
You know the people who work at the truckstop at the bottom don't actually live there, right?
breezewood has around 1200 residents, you've never been to a real small town if you don't think thats a good amount
Breezewood has two "towns", the real town where the people live and the big truckstop area with the restaurants and hotels where those people work. The people from town drive into work then drive back home when they're done, they don't live in the rest-stop area.
There are forests surrounding the lower image. You wouldn't even have to walk 1km to be away from the traffic and among the trees.
This is just veiled cope by depressiongays who want to undermine all ways of resolving their "illness" that don't involve massive drug abuse or radically redesigning society.
>Wow so glad I see this everytime I leave my house
So walk for 5 minutes and get away from it? The outside world isn't 100% pleasant 100% of the time.
Again, nobody lives in these freeway merger areas, it's all restaurants and hotels.
Do americans really kek?
Yeah, the US is a big country with a lot of spaced out cities and it relies on trucks to transport goods from one part of the country to another. That leads to hubs developing where various interstates merge with each other, and naturally venues catering to those truckers spring up around these hubs.
Yup it's gay. Having to drive in 2023 is gay. Maybe it was sick in the 1960s. Not anymore. We're in Hell.
Diversity will make things better
It's fixing soon to be blue Texas and Idaho
You guys have been jerking off about flipping Texas for years, but it's not going to happen with Hispanics slowly turning red.
You speak for Hispanics?
Do you?
The current migrant influx isn’t primarily Hispanic it’s fricking African
That's not what I fricking asked, you dumb b***h.
I asked, DO YOU SPEAK FOR HISPANICS.
Not him but yeah, I do. The polls show it.
What fricking polls? You Cuban fricking FLORIDA LA VIDA fricking polls, you israelite c**t?
God I fricking hate women like you who just shill stupid shit that makes no sense.
The majority of the polls have shown that Hispanic support has been eroding for Democrats and is increasingly going to Republicans, even the most pro-Democrat pollsters have acknowledged this. You can continue acting like a moron online, but that doesn't change what the polls say.
You can't possibly fathom how LARGE the states are.
Europoors think "Oh gosh, that town is an hour away, I can't be assed to drive that UNGODLY amount of distance."
Meanwhile Americans are like "Oh, the casino is only 3 hours away? Let's go there for the afternoon."
American is FRICKHUGE.
>American is FRICKHUGE.
Eurofriends have a hard time understanding the scale of this place
You can drive for 11 hours in texas and still be in texas
You could cross from one end of france to the other and get back before you can reach New York City by train from inside populated parts of New York state
europoors can't into zoning. That's a commercial artery, no fricking way you could build a new house there.
NTA but I've been to Breezewood and there are houses in the woods right next to this. I've been to the Sheetz there like 3 times ama, it's a big Cinemaphile stop
I've been through Breezewood multiple times as well, and there are two exits to the town. One is to "South Breezewood" which is where I assume most of the locals live and the other is the truckstop.
>One is to "South Breezewood" which is where I assume most of the locals live and the other is the truckstop.
you don't sound like you've been kek
wow you can look at google maps.
>One is to "South Breezewood" which is where I assume most of the locals live and the other is the truckstop.
yeah you haven't been kek
Please point out where the houses are in this
picture. Behind the cameraman the town begins developing, but that's not the center of town at all.
>Please point out where the houses are in this
picture
right to the left at the stop light. there's people who can walk
Wow anon, lots of houses in this pic
Stupid lying homosexual.
I accept your concession. Alot I can't even highlight because they're in the woods and even more I can't highlight because I'm zoomed in for clarity
So you mean separated a couple of miles from the truckstop section and hidden by trees so they can't see it? That's what you consider being in town?
>Pivots because he has nothing to say now
I accept your concession
Nah, frick you. Most people who go to Breezewood only go to the section with the restaurants and don't go to the rest of the town at all, and it's purposefully designed that way. You were acting like it's some big town that was built into the truckstop section when it absolutely is not.
You've been proven wrong and now are trying to find another argument because your first didn't work. I accept your concession
It's not part of the shopping area and you'd have to go out of your way to find it, honestly it sounds like you're the one who never visited Breezewood.
Jesus these better be 55k houses
Grim
Those are hotels you Black personmonger
They're the road behind the hotels
correct
>walk 1km
In America? Maybe the very few are capable of such an achievement
The ones who walk have to deal with angry moronic drivers almost murdering them every time they offend fatasses Americans can't process pedestrians if you walk you should carry a shotgun for self defense against road rangers tbh.
Some places just don't want walkers anon

You live in a commercial district?

how about walk more than 100 feet you fat frick
think bigger
A Niven Ringworld is unimaginably big.
I love how in the books all the characters repeatedly say it's moronicly big. The surface area of Ringworld is like 100x larger than every single habitable planet in the galaxy combined.
And then in the second book when Louis works out that the City-Builder's civilisation collapsed because they ran out of resources because there's literally nothing underground besides 50m of dirt, then the Ringworld structural material, then the void of space, and the nearest other civilisation on the ring was a 1,000 year drive.
It's a fun series because the overarching question that is never answered is "why the frick would somebody build this?"
I remember 1 cool moment reading the first book. Maybe I'll read the second for another cool moment
Second book is good, even though it was exclusively written because a math student of Niven's called him out saying his math was wrong
Basically the Ringworld would shift off its axis and collide with the sun. That became the plot point of the second book and is actually really well done and expands the story in a satisfying way.
Don't bother reading beyond the second book though. It's a good amount of extra stuff that closes a lot of loose ends from the first book without making too many other holes. The third book is completely unnecessary, the fourth book is just insulting. Niven didn't know when to stop and fancied Ringworld as his Dune, and it overstays its welcome.
The image that made every eurohomosexual shit their pants
America is so big and empty that eurotrash would an hero if they were forced to bear witness, it'd be like a cosmic horror story and they'd go all soiface because of how big it is, it'd crack their insignificant brains.

I actually grew up in the bottom village, it's called Castle Combe. When Dr Dolittle was filmed there the set built a dam, and Sir Ranulph Fiennes didn't like it so he stole explosives from Buckley Barracks and blew it up.
Boring as frick there though it's all old people, a golf course, and Chinese tourists.
>On returning home, his surgeon insisted the necrotic fingertips be retained for several months before amputation, to allow regrowth of the remaining healthy tissue. Impatient at the pain the dying fingertips caused, Fiennes cut them off himself with an electric fretsaw, just above where the blood and the soreness was.

Another thread where euros pretend like they don’t have highways and truckstops
They always show pictures of picturesque villages and old city centers even though 90% of them live in commie blocks because those towns and city centers are mostly tourist destinations and museums and super expensive
PNW should be acts mean is mean
Socal is chill except for LA. Stay mad silly hillbillirinos
This map is pretty moronic. It's way more nuanced than that.
For example, Las Vegas is chock full of inconsiderate tourists but because of the hospitality industry and excess Mormons, the employees of hotels/restaurants and the locals on the outskirts are all very polite.
The people living downtown are mostly mole people and Black folk so obviously avoid them.
As someone who lived in the purple the for 15 years and the red 17 years, it's completely wrong. Purple should be acts nice is nice. Red should be acts mean is mean. No idea about yellow or green.
I've knocked on people's doors as a Jehovah's Witness in many places, primarily South Carolina and California. The people in the South are so nice it's like a different world. I'd regularly get offered bottles of water on hot days or invited in for breakfast in the mornings.

what non grass touching gay morons thought that would work in the first place? the people who built those are such homosexuals they couldnt even fathom every Black person and teenager just immediately stealing from them
A lot of these tech start ups use Hollywood as a testing ground for their products. Problem is Hollywood is infested with the undead. Used to work for one company that had me driving around in that area, and I'd see these robots around every now and then trying to maneuver around human feces, tents and the mounds of trash the "locals" would leave all around their nests.
The homeless like to make barricades on certain side roads for... some reason. Probably to rob people who get out of their cars to clear the street, but they're usually so high on crack when people do that, they can be bothered to climb out of their hovels. Its deranged in that city.
what do the people who build these think when they look at the video feeds and see that 90% of the people who frick with the robots are brown?
Internalized white supremacy
Just kidding they are made in china
They unironically blame white men for making them that way.

There's a mutual misunderstanding between Yankees and Southerners.
When a Yankee goes south, strangers will acknowledge his existence and ask him questions like "How are you doing this morning?" The Yankee comes from a place where you never talk to strangers. If someone says "Hello" and asks you questions about yourself - why, they must want to be your friend! So rather than correctly respond with "Doing fine, how about yourself?" he will start to tell his life story to his new friend. The Southerner will realize he made a mistake and will have to cut the Yankee off. The Yankee starts to think that everyone in the South is only pretending to be nice.
When a Southerner goes north, he notices that when he gives strangers short acknowledgements, they regard him suspiciously, they glare at him, they might even get aggressive. He doesn't understand that it's a sin to talk to people on the street because only beggars scammers and bums do that. The Southerner starts to think everyone in the North must be a dickhead. Who in their right mind gets angry about saying "Hello"?
So basically Southerners are some kind of morons who think it's fine to talk to people you don't know?
>Is that... SOMEONE BEING NICE AND MAKING PLEASANT CONVERSATION!?
>AHHHHHH NOOOO IM GOING INSANE SAVE ME ULYSSES S. GRANT
>a complete stranger forcing you into contact with them
>being nice
Like I said, some kind of moron. How lacking in empathy and human understanding do you have to be, for it to feel alright to approach someone you don't know and talk to them without reason?
A nod, or preferably a wave, is fine. Why the frick are you talking?
How the frick is that lacking in empathy? It’s just a cultural difference
>Ahhhhh is somebody talking to me they must be a sociopath
>It’s just a cultural difference
And that shows your lack of empathy. If you need others to share your culture to understand them and their preferences, you're not very empathetic. You just fake it by projecting your own self outwards. "If I were him, how would I feel?"
Histrionic PD
Youre accusing others of mental conditions when you clearly cant fathom an enviormment in which a stranger would exchange pleasantries and a conversation.
Pretty ironic for a guy claiming others lack empathy.
You ever been tested for autism?
>If I were him, how would I feel?
But I'm not him.
Terminally online city slicker
This is actual fricking brainrot holy shit anon Im so sorry that youve been warped by living in cold, uncaring, urban shitholes your whole life.
I had many wonderful conversations with strangers when I visited the South. Sure they teased me a bit for being a Yankee but when I reciprocated their pleasantries many were ecstatic to have a nice talk and meet someone new.
Jesus Christ cities really do irreparable damage
>Why the frick are you talking?
You sound like a nice person to be around.
How do you find people you do know
When you live in sparsely populated areas, there are so few people around that it's awkward if you don't acknowledge the people you come across. When you live in a giant city, it's not even possible to process the hundreds of faces you see every day, much less say hello to them.
So southerners have a facade? Sounds like the op picture was right then
You are talking to people you don’t know right now
You have it backwards and inversed.
Everyone I met in the south is nice and everyone in the north is mean.

Im done. I have been to every one of those places except 20 and 21 in the last calendar year. Only 2 were in a national park (arches and canyonlands)
Europeans, stay in your lane
>Only 2 were in a national park (arches and canyonlands)
But the majority were protected lands yhe average person cannot "go outside and take a walk" to
You are completely wrong. I literally got out of my car and walked in all of those places except the national parks. Even the ski mountains you can drive up to and walk freely. You just cant get on the lift without paying, and thats only in the winter
You can even camp in all of those places except the parks, something my friends from western europe are probably unfamiliar with
>I literally got out of my car
Thats not the same as protected land. The average person can reach these places easily. About half of the places i posted were near major or near-major population centers. There are many, many small towns in beautiful country, but i dont live there. And the places i visit are more remote
I'm just saying. The original picture which presumably prompted your travelblog dump talks about "taking a walk outside to help with depression" and you posted places you need to drive hours to reach.
While obviously the original image is disingenuous, your images did nothing to "disprove" it. Pictures taken from your hotel window would be more apt at showing American towns aren't barren wastelands.
I dumped pics because my european friends thought they knew what america looked like, when they clearly did not. Half of my pictures are a stones throw from honolulu, denver, seattle, salt lake city, san gaycisco, and boston. In america, a stones throw requires a car. Sorry, we have too much land. Here is one taken from the highway
they will never understand
>from sea to shining sea
it's beyond them but TY for the dump.
>honolulu, denver, seattle, salt lake city, san gaycisco, and boston.
Once again, entirely missing the point.
I dont take pics of places where people live because having houses near nature is so normal to me. But i get your point. Here is a photo from my roommate’s cousin’s backyard. They have two blonde haired white kids and live in a mountain town in colorado
This is extremely normal small town america in the west. In the east you can also find this, but the mountains arent as big (northeast) or there are more trees and its flat (south). In the midwest it is fields, and yes, that is depressing
You could walk out the front door of your house in Kamas, UT to pic rel (mirror lake) in one day and be met with nothing in between but similar wildlife
did he catch anything?
>In america, a stones throw requires a car. Sorry, we have too much land.
It didn't need to be that way, moron. The cities could have been designed to be more walkable.
>Here is one taken from the highway
Incredible how you can miss the point this hard.
You are coping hard my man
t. Flyover
Extra hard now kek
Why are you coping so hard over someone else being told they are wrong?
I've taken many more more beautiful photos in Japan, and the cities are infinitely better designed, so what's your point?
Basically America is the definition of a great place to visit but a terrible place to live
Yes you'd be much happier living in some random European town compared to an American one

Stupid graph that is like 30+ years outdated. Regional differences have died with internet and mass media. Regional accents are all but dead in younger populations. Cultural divide in America is Costal/Major cities vs inland.
Not true and the graph itself was never true
It unironically is true. You think there are major cultural differences between someone from Chicago/Boston/LA? No they have the same music/cultural/political viewpoints. Same standard American accent.
Just including Boston in that list shows you don’t know what you’re talking about
Yes it does. Outside of the working class boomers having a accent, they are pretty much homogeneous. Stop acting like there are major differences. Mass media has killed regional differences.
Why are working class (not the welfare one) so soulful in all countries?
>You think there are major cultural differences between someone from Chicago/Boston/LA?
Literally yes.
Of course. You are so unique with your x ethnic cuisine, sport team, indie band, or whatever. Same thing different climate.
>boston accent
>standard american accent
>Boston accent
Only working class boomers speak with it. Younger generations/professional class use the standard American accent.
>>It unironically is true. You think there are major cultural differences between someone from Chicago/Boston/LA?
Yes, there absolutely are. The company I work for has offices on both coasts and the culture difference between Seattle and New York is huge.
Seattle
>business casual all the time
>only execs where suits
>people smile and greet each other, office has upbeat atmosphere
>huge turnout for afterwork functions
>fridge always stocked, people chip in to make sure we don't run out of stuff
>company slack channels are dominated by Seattle staff
New York City
>dress shirts and ties at a bare minimum
>office atmosphere can only be called "solemn"
>they don't even do afterwork functions in NYC office because nobody shows up
>nobody eats in the break room, fridge is barren, people go to cafes
>even when out of the office going to lunch people don't really joke and laugh with each other, they're all on their phones or laptops
>regularly complain about Seattle staff "chatting too much" on the company Slack
It's like two different countries.
NYC is the most soulless shithole to ever exist. The morons that live there deserve their misery.
>People smile more
>Work attire is a little more casual
Minor differences which prove my point that they are pretty much the same. Only major US city with a distinct culture is Miami because it is majority non-Americans.
What’s a major difference to you
Utah being the Mormon state. Miami being a Latin city that doesn't speak English. Different cultural values between coastal cities and Heartland. My point is that the former regional differences are disappearing in younger generations.
Having a completely different office culture is not a minor difference. I felt less of a cultural shift when I went to Vancouver, Canada than when I went to NYC. NYC might as well be in a different country with how differently people there act.
>same standard American accent
No, not even close. Chicago is, it's in the center of the heartland. But Boston and New York have extremely localized accents and vernacular.

Have you guys ever interacted with people from different states in college or whatever? Most people speak withe same, have similar interests, watch the same shows, eat the same food, etc.
Found your problem. Do you actually think every student in the local college is from the same state?
No. I am saying I have interacted with people from across the country and they are more or less the same aside from minor differences. People act like America is Europe where you drive 200 miles and are in a vastly different society.
I don't believe you.
>People act like America is Europe where you drive 200 miles and are in a vastly different society

Oh look I have ridden the train (far more realistic) 200 miles and there are cafes and old buildings and very narrow streets. How different this is! The people speak a funny language but also speak English! Will the differences ever cease!?

I also like it when they say we have no culture and then they get mad when they see Americans staying in touch with their cultural heritage by calling themselves German or Irish.
I do and it’s clear when people are not from around here
You must be a foreigner, nobody can think a Bostonian sounds anything like a resident of the other cities you mentioned.
This is literally true and people who pride themselves on perceived regional differences are not only deluding themselves but revealing how sheltered they are. Same thing as British people who love to jerk off over the difference between a Yorkshire accent and a Liverpool accent.
I’m not British but if you think those two sound the same you’re crazy
The point is that they sound different but they're dying. Young people all talk the same because the internet has homogenized accents.

As opposed to freezing your ass off waiting for a bus in Europe because they can't afford gas/car. Only the wealthy live in the picturesque old towns. Average Euro lives in pic.
Eastern Europe is not real Europe
Of course nobody wants to live in Eastern Europe

Guys the wood houses memes aren't real right? I thought it was just to show destruction in disaster kinos
Tornadoes are hurricanes are crazy
Why use wood in hurricane and tornado prone areas?
~~*Insurance*~~ wouldn't exist if things were built to last here.
Ah makes sense, heard Florida insurance is cucking some people right now
moron
>just live in a brick house in tornado alley
moron
lol you think you can survive a tornado with, what, a few bricks? Cinderblocks? You're just arming the tornado with bricks and cinderblocks, and not even giving yourself much of a defense. Tornado can drive a telephone pole straight through a brick wall, like a nail through a two by four. If a single window gives out then it doesn't matter what your house is built out of, the winds are gonna get inside and literally rip your house apart from the inside out, just fling the roof straight off and probably toss it a hundred miles away.
Because people don't want to live in concrete bunkers and that the only thing that might resist a tornado
There's no cost-effective way to build a tornado-proof building. You have to either live 100% underground or build a reinforced concrete dome with no windows, anything else is going to get demolished eventually, and it will be far more expensive to rebuild than something built out of cheap, easily available materials like wood.
Blow Out to represent the unresolved paranoia, professional skill and contained hysteria and passion of the north-northeast
Shotgun Stories representing the generational trauma, cyclical hatred and utter blasted poverty of the southeast
Pig representing the spiritual and emotional trauma and self-isolation, narcissism and hollowness and pain of the northwest
Ask the Dust for the land of quiet hypocrisies, broken dreams, success, failures and romanticism of the southwest

Bottom left, topic thunder.
Btw you can’t “act nice, is mean”
That’s a contradiction.
The word you are looking for is “acts polite, is mean”
>Btw you can’t “act nice, is mean”
>That’s a contradiction.
Spotted the autistic person.
What kinos show ideal rural towns Cinemaphile?
What's the AU mean?
The alternate universe that's required for anyone to think a truck gas stop is a rural town.

Heheh, Shelton sucks.
So does Everett
I hope they put up a sign, "Welcome to Everett, home of the first US case of COVID"
Covid isn't real.
>Ohio, is nice

t. europoor
that's a funny way a complaining about how every inch of land isn't occupied
First that come to mind:
NW: Coraline
NE: When Harry Met Sally
SE: Forrest Gump
SW: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I like that my town looks like this, kino Americana
