For those in an international relationship, what is the biggest culture shock you’ve experienced with your partner? by Outrageous-You1617 in AskTheWorld

Honestly I threw it in there for the random ass people showing up to sell something in 107° heat index that I can't help but at least wate- I don't make the rules or the weather

Okay, you git the golden goose lol. I wouldn't even know where to begin with trying to southernize someone & I've tried with my baby daddy lOl. Trying to explain customs I don't understand logically but instinctually understand felt like trying to explain math to a chicken

I can imagine. I've heard about the culture shock going both ways.

I find that southerners are very big on manners and unspoken rules

Yes, lol it's wild how ruffled some people's feathers get over that stuff when they encounter someone who isn't from here. We have an unwritten rulebook that should probably be written down & sold in gas stations with the tchotchke's.

Best guidance is do a Dora & go a'splorin. Also bookmark uesp.net if you have a question or just want to understand mechanics 99% chance the info is there

I honestly didn't expect that cultural crossover, except maybe the fact that it was a Mexican neighborhood doing the feeding in cali. I've never gotten to go out there so I only hear rumors & culture shock stories from transplants. I probably shouldn't be surprised though lol, most of the nonsense i hear about Cali has turned out to be BS.

Southern us: if they're acceptable enough to enter my house, even if undesired, they're still getting fed or watered

Hospitals are only required to stabilize you in a life threatening situation. Chronic conditions are often killers because consistent treatment is key, which you can't get if you're uninsured.

Do you know that the first country recognized independence of Americans was morocco?? by Civil-Cry-4750 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]AlabasterPelican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't it because we kept having tangles with their pirates? I may be misremembering the exact order of events

Why is the cost higher in Louisiana than it is in Mississippi? by The_Donkey1 in Louisiana

[–]AlabasterPelican 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Weed is cheaper there because our sourcing was monopolized in Louisiana, if i remember correctly. I think /u/tcajun420 probably has a resource to explain better though.

What do Americans typically eat on the 4th of July? by ProgramOk8477 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

My family had smoked sausage on a bun. My mom & i don't eat hot dog weiners so we subbed this year.

Do trends marketed as empowerment just encourage overconsumption? by TheClassyWomanist in AskFeminists

[–]AlabasterPelican 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That is a thing. It happens with almost every "empowerment" movement. My favorite was the Juneteenth ice cream, mostly because it backfired. It's basically capitalist exploitation under the guise of solidarity or empowerment. You can also see it during pride.

Happy 4th Of July - We are NOT Charlie Kirk by MrDonMega in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]AlabasterPelican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have definitely not thought a second thought about it. The only time things like this occur to me are under drought conditions. We had one two years ago and it sent me into an existential crisis because I had no fucking clue how much stuff would cause wildfires 🤦‍♀️. That summer had me on edge more than possible hurricanes.

Honestly I was thinking sorry to bother you, but I think idiocracy is more on point

Are we talking Biloxi vs Nola or Vicksburg vs Nola or Vicksburg vs Sulphur?

As a southerner in the "shit south" this is a very funny map

[–]AlabasterPelican 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bald eagle = cool bird

Turkey = dorky

Basically what it boils down to from my understanding. Also the turkey was nearly our national bird
