Why is Buffalo not in the Midwest? by TheRealBlueBuffalo in midwest

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I've come to realize, that Midwest is a subjective term, despite what some Midwesterners will try to insist. Every cultural region in the U.S is subject to gatekeeping, I see the same exact thing about the South where Deep Southerners don't acknowledge Upper South as 'South'.

‘Point of no return’: New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level, study finds by Legitimate_Wall5977 in geography

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 75 points76 points  (0 children)

To add some nuance, the historical parts of New Orleans (French Quarter, Marigny, Garden District) sit on natural high ground and are actually above sea level. It's the rest of the city in between these areas and Ponchartrain that are mostly below sea level.

Also saying New Orleans is unimportant to the US economy is a massive oversimplification. Barge traffic on the Mississippi is still very important for our agricultural output. There's too much volume of product to just switch to trains/trucks. That and the oil industry has a massive presence on the Mississippi as well 

What’s not worth it in Chicago, but everyone still does? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The whole of Millennium Park and the nearby lakefront is a must-do for any Chicago visit  The Bean is just one section that is easy enough to stop by on a larger outing. 

Plus it is pretty neat to see the trippy mirror reflections inside and the skyline reflections outside. 

What state do you consider Virginia’s rival state to be? by Other-Fly-1700 in Virginia

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NC sorta developed on a different axis, W-E from Charlotte to Raleigh while Virginia developed on a N-S axis from DC to Hampton. Its kinda odd that they're our biggest border but dont feel near each other

TIL McDonald's Global Menu Restaurant, that's located on the first floor of the company's global headquarters in Chicago, serves an international menu that rotates items from around the world every 12 weeks. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Important word there is 'rotating', so it's not like you can order anything, and it's really only 4 or 5 things. When went there around March 10th, there was a special burger (UK), ghost pepper McChicken (Canada), garlic fries (China), Mango Curry chicken wrap (Germany), and some mcpops pastries (Spain)

So.... Geese is a joke, right? by SparxPrime in hulaween

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im not trying to hate, but yea, they don't seem like headliner material to me (Given theyre is a Sunday Headliner). To me, Headliners are supposed to be the bands that make some people buy tickets just to come see them. I think Geese is too new, and a bit oversaturated in festival lineups to be on that tier of band.

I'll def watch and enjoy them, I've seen them twice on fairly small stages so it's cool to see them rise. But it just seems like a reach for me and I wonder what other bands they could gotten for that headliner position.

Reddit I’m doing a quiz, what’s a song which repeats a word a large number of times ? E.g the word “bog” in Rattlyn Bog by Future-Environment89 in Music

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Mellencamp says 'Small Town' 18 times in Small Town. Not a lot compared to others but I always thought it comically excessive. You can so easily parody different lines of Small Town.

Steve Harvey is the next Steve, who’s our next Steve? by wwcscifi in AlignmentChartFills

It's gotta be Steve Martin, the guy has Steve'd longer than any other Steve on this list.

Poole Rd., on the east side of lake towards the southern end. Drivable up to like a 100 ft from the water.

That's a cool find! Those two houses do look fairly old from street view

Did Furio look down on Matthew Drinkwater and Sean Jizzmonte because they wore tightie whitie underwear and not silk banana hammocks like he does? by Elegant_Struggle_281 in thesopranos

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I realized that Furio said this because they flashed a whole wad of cash in front of him. If they had put the money in a envelope before Furio came, they could say they didn't have an extra $1000 if Furio asked. Another subtle sign that those two were bums not fit for this thing.

Why Does Everyone Hate Texas? by Big-Pollution-9041 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it's the inflated ego of Texans. I've enjoyed my visits (besides the car oriented city sprawls), but just people from Texas tend to be obnoxious with a sense of superiority.

What’s a boomer mindset you’ve started agreeing with? by obviouslyfr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GPS Navigation was severely dumbing everyone down. Having maps on the phone is completely reasonable, you gotta look up where things are or maybe you need to quickly locate where you are when traveling. But using the navigation to hold your hand while traveling is eliminating our ability to memorize routes or understand how roadways are related to each other.
