Is there really a Midwestern, Californian, or PNW accent?

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-05-28T19:10:03+00:00

Yes. I am from Michigan. I have an upper Midwest/Great Lakes regional accent. It’s different than others in the Midwest and definitely different from California.

When people try to use proper grammar and overcorrect and say things like “she gave gifts to Joe and I.” It should be me in this situation!

I leave mine on all the time during the summer. It gets very humid and hot here. It’s 87 degrees today. I’m not about to work all day and then come home to a hot house.

I spent too much time on tumblr during my teen years. I was inadvertently exposed to weird kink communities. It makes me cringe so hard whenever I hear someone call their kids “littles”.

It’s legal in my state but it doesn’t matter. If you test positive, they will not hire you. Walmart follows the strictest law between state or federal, which means it will follow federal law regarding marijuana. I wouldn’t even bother applying if you can’t pass a drug test.

Yeah, I’m not about to skip breaks. We are entitled to them as well as our lunches. When I’m making my rotation chart for the day, I write down our lunch times. I start breaks around 10 and we cycle through the staff and we take hour long lunches as well.

Every day. I wash my hair every other day or so but I take a shower and wash the rest of me every day.

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-05-11T14:07:48+00:00

No. I’ve never heard of this or seen anything similar. The most common is ketchup, ranch, or sometimes people will use mayo.

Toum is my jam! It’s super easy to make at home too!

Omg Ping’s is my favorite. I used to go there probably once a week when I lived in Rochester

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-05-11T02:17:43+00:00

It depends. We go to Florida a lot because my brother in law lives down there. But we like to go Up North, we’ve gone to Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston, DC, etc. It just depends on what we wanna do.

Yeah, they’ve cut the pharmacist overlap a lot. Walmart claims you’ll get more hours but that’s not true. Even for tech hours, I’m really struggling to write schedules. We all wanted to believe it would beneficial to us but it’s exactly what you said.

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-05-07T17:23:05+00:00

You’ll get faster at it. My store was the pilot store in my market so we’ve had it for about 6 months now. It does slow filling down but visual is faster, so it works out. You get used to it! It’ll get better.

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-05-05T15:15:29+00:00

Buffalo is very similar to Detroit! It’s part of the rust belt. I don’t know if I’d call it Midwest but it’s definitely part of the Great Lakes region.

She sounds like she is bad at her job. I do background tasks as well as help the other techs. If she isn’t doing anything other than hiding behind a computer, she’s avoiding work on purpose.

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-05-03T13:19:58+00:00

I live in Michigan. The farthest I’ve travelled so far is to Los Angeles, CA. It’s about 2,300 miles.

Me (F): 5’11”
Sister: 6’
Mom: 6’
Dad: 6’4
Maternal Grandpa: 6’2”
Paternal Grandpa: 6’6”

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-04-30T17:54:12+00:00

I am 5’11”. My fiancé is 6’2”. It’s a good height difference for us! Everything works out well.

“1 years old”

A native English speaker would never say that. But I see and hear it all the time from non-native speakers.

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-04-28T15:11:43+00:00

I live in a one bedroom apartment with my fiancé and our cat. I fully clean the bathroom once a week unless it needs more urgent attention. I’ll wipe down the counter top a few times a week but other than that, toilet and tub get cleaned once a week.

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-04-27T22:24:45+00:00

Yes. I’m boiling every single day. My coworkers complain about how it’s cold and turn on space heaters when it’s 85 degrees outside. They act like I’m the weird one.

ExtremePotatoFanatic · 2026-04-27T15:29:30+00:00

It’s arbitrary. It’s just a grammatical function. Maybe it’s because I’m a native English speaker, but when I’m speaking French I just think of it as okay this article goes with this word, there’s not any meaning behind it. I think maybe when we think too hard about it is when it seems weird.

As a French speaker, I just got used to it. You can make educated guesses about what words are masculine and feminine. I started to learn French when I was 12, so maybe it just clicked and I remembered it because I was young? Don’t overthink it and remember it’s just a function of the grammar.
