I live near two other states and can tell a distinct difference by the shape of the mountains (one has rolling hills, the other has very steep-sided hills, my home region has deeper valleys) and the building style since one state has lax building codes and the other has older and larger structures. The barns are typically discernable too.

Give it time. I started wearing glasses at 6. Contacts at 9 until I was ~22-23. Glasses again for the last twenty years. My prescription is heavy (-7.75 and -8.25.) It’s weird switching from contacts to glasses and vice versa. Looks like a fishbowl at first. Depth perception is off. Your eyes will adjust. That said, make sure you have a good eye doctor. Don’t start with internet companies. Go to a legit doc and then take your prescription and get backup glasses but be skeptical of the alignment and fit. If you don’t trust the prescription, get a second opinion. Take care of your eyes.

Scales are important. You can make anything look extreme by manipulating the x or y axis.

Will you explain what you mean?

At least we can agree on that, haha!

I can see your point, but your delivery… Are you French?

The US is huge. There are so many distinct regions that it was pertinent to define which stereotype they were referring to.

PNW means Pacific Northwest.

Is it rent strike or necessity to prioritize immediate essentials because they can’t afford anything else?

I was going to say pizza, but this, this seems like the right answer. Drug is a loose term (at least in the US) and can encompass really anything. Caffeine is a drug.

Why do they even have nuclear weapons? They’ve only been a country since 1948. It’s a tiny country that has continuously abused everyone else. 25 years ago I was wondering why the US funded them and assumed it’s because of the strategic military stronghold in the region, but they’ve controlled so much of the US. There are laws in places in the US to prohibit criticizing them. How the fuck? I remember when they sued (somehow? Maybe sued is the wrong term) the US because the US wasn’t giving them enough “allowance” every year. They wanted more money. Fifteen years ago my friend asked if I heard about the four Israeli kids that were kidnapped or killed at the time, but there were 28 or so Palestinian kids that week that had had the same fate. I just didn’t/don’t get it. I largely stay out of it because I didn’t understand the nuances, or at least don’t think I do, but how can an 70ish year old country come in and tell people who have been there for a thousand years that they need to just go ahead and die?

As I’m typing this out, I’m now thinking of the indigenous people in North America and I realize I’ve answered my own question.
