UK folks I’m here to help, growing up poor in the American south has left me with a specific set of skills and knowledge.
I know a bunch of yalls houses if not most of em don’t have central A/C if even a window unit. I’ve been to your country in the summer and know it’s humid as hell. You’re gonna need a box fan, some ice, a bucket, and a drill with a hole boring drill bit. Bore four holes in the sides of the bucket, dump in the ice and then secure the box fan to the top, we always used duct tape. That’ll cool shit off pretty well until the ice melts at least for the room you’re currently in. Filling up any sinks with ice can help too if there’s no airflow to the bathroom.
It ain’t perfect but it’s better than nothing. Just a tip from your friendly neighborhood hillbilly!

Hey now! I may be autistic but I assure you I don’t ever forget sex exists and im horny like 90~95% of the time, but I am completely oblivious to flirting or interesting shown so that doesn’t get mitigated as much as I’d like

It was recently pointed out to me that an outfit I have been rocking for years makes it look like I’m trying to be a walking bisexual flag: pink button up over a purple tank top with blue shorts. This was by coincidence do but I love those colors so I was fully prepared to die on the hill that it was the superior flag.
But after refreshing my memory, you right the pan flag looks like three flavors of ice cream stacked atop each other

This is why I went ahead and bought one last January, It’ll probably last at least 5 years(i hope), and I can pirate and emulate games much more easily than on a console to keep my entertainment budget lower. Just a year early

Yeah I could tell it wasn’t what it was, even Atlantas midtown and lil 5 were much more wild than cap hill when I rolled in. I still like it but Fremont is still pretty dope thankfully.
Tech bros and VC ruin everything.
It gets easier to pickup the more you hear it but in your position if you just smile and nod you’ll be good. Just don’t drink any clear liquid offered of go to a second location

Sorry I didn’t have time to completely respond to your whole comment earlier, got pinged and had to wrap it up.
I’ve literally had a conversation with a stranger at a bar in Cap Hill when I first moved here, and my accent makes me stick out like a sore thumb here so I get asked where I’m from all the time, after she asked and I told her where, she said “cool I’m from California and that’s why I’m speaking to you right now”. Which was hyperbolic but it does ring true coming from Atlanta to Seattle in that regard.
You my friend are an anomaly as far as my experience with the PNW if you can hang with a midwesterner in idle chit chat, they give us a run for our money in the south. Congratulations on the social skills lol!
You do gotta be careful with southern folks that ain’t from the big city, once we get comfortable we drop the fake accent and start speaking “proper”
- Comment on We dunking on England again 1 month ago:
Yeah and it could easily still be a recent development, I’ve only been out here for 5ish years
- Comment on We dunking on England again 1 month ago:
Hate to poke hole in your theory, but I don’t even know anyone Gen Z or alphas, these are all millennials and older
- Comment on We dunking on England again 1 month ago:
‘Like’ is definitely over used out here but not the same as the Cali one, I can usually pick out Californians in Washington… partially because as a southerner they recognize another person who is aggressively talkative to strangers.
I actually do agree with your take that PNW accent a restrained Midwest accent which actually tracks pretty well. And just to be clear I don’t mean “dontcha know” or “don’t ya know” that is Midwestern as hell, what I mean specifically is y’all tend to add “ya know” to the end a lot of sentences”. When I first pointed out to my best friend, who grew up out here, she sent me a text later that night saying, “Fuck you I hear it everywhere now, ya know”
The other big one that comes to mind is “pre-funk” which is apparently just slang for pre-gaming but I’d never heard it in the south or northeast
- Comment on We dunking on England again 1 month ago:
Naw it’s something I’ve noticed from many native Washington’s ever since I’ve moved here, there is some bleed from the Midwest in my experience so maybe that’s where it comes from originally
- Comment on We dunking on England again 1 month ago:
Yall have a lot of verbal ticks, so many PNWers end a large proportion of sentences with “ya know”

I own RDR2 already and would sooner die than play multiplayer or pay for it again if you know what I mean. I honestly don’t have much interest in GTA6 unless it’s the gaming equivalent of a black swan event. Rockstar has little to offer me at this point and the will get no more of my money
