Two_Hangmen@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a regional pronunciation of a word that seems normal to you but is weird to people from other parts of the country?2·26 days agoI live in the U.S., and my state capitol is spelled Pierre, but pronounced “peer”.
Two_Hangmen@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you microwave water for tea?1·1 month agoIf you’re using distilled water there’s not enough minerals in the water to start the boiling process before the temperature crosses 100 C because microwaves heat it up so fast.
It also doesn’t necessarily have to be distilled water, but the the closer it is to just H2O, the higher the chance this will happen.
I didn’t grow up in Wyoming but it was a rural state in the U.S. People romanticize rural areas until they actually live in one. If if you have a large town nearby and and your wealthy, or at least upper middle class it might be ok, but I’d highly recommend staying where you are.
It’s not just the medical care, it’s the culture. When you move to a rural area, if you aren’t at least the 3rd generation you’ll be looked at and treated as an outsider. That doesn’t mean people will be hostile towards you, but you won’t really be part of the community either.
The entertainment, food, and shopping options are also be very limited.
Edit: “recommend staying where you are”
I’m in the U.S. and have a friend that serves court papers for the local county, and when people try this shit the court will often just enter a “not guilty” plea because it’s a preliminary hearing.
When trial starts and they try this again, or they just don’t show up, is where they start to get in real trouble. He said most of them will change their mind about being sovereign citizen after they start to spend some time in jail.

Two_Hangmen@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Am I a dick if I don't want to meet an old friend for coffee if she brings her babies along?22·2 months agoNever said I hated children, but keep pushing your false narrative to feel good about yourself.
Two_Hangmen@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Am I a dick if I don't want to meet an old friend for coffee if she brings her babies along?25·2 months agoYou don’t know anyone who figures out their village before having kids…but childfree people are the selfish ones. Yeah, that makes sense.
Two_Hangmen@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Am I a dick if I don't want to meet an old friend for coffee if she brings her babies along?55·2 months agoExactly this. People will have kids then expect other people to help out because “it takes a village”. Fuck that, figure out who’s willing to be in your village, THEN have kids.
