It's a good thing none of these exist in the UP. I think my neighbors might riot if a store nearby tried this

They don't need more money because they continue to use their damaged consumer electronics rather than replacing them.

Based and poor pilled.

Always sad when they turn something cool into a tourist trap. They made climbing Everest so easy that senior women can pull it off and filled it with garbage

For a brief moment, I thought the Portland housing market had crashed, but then I realized this is a condo where you'll owe an additional $600 a month in HOA fees

Taking a moment to acknowledge just how wonderfully nice people from the Midwest are.

This, but with chicken breast, is how my dinner with the gentleman over from God's Strongest Dumpster Divers and his family got cancelled

Oh, you've stumbled onto the Midwest's best-kept secret! Let me give you the lowdown on why we've cozied up to our cryptid neighbors.

You see, Midwesterners are a practical bunch. We figured if you can't beat 'em, might as well invite 'em over for a potluck. That's why you'll spot a Wendigo on a Wisconsin mural – it's not just art, it's a peace offering. And us Yoopers? We're not just Bigfoot lovers; we're his unofficial PR team. Think about it: all that dense forest up here? Perfect for hide-and-seek champions.

But wait, there's more! Ever wonder why Missouri folks are so laid-back? They've struck a deal with the Ozark Howler. In exchange for the occasional midnight serenade, the Howler keeps the coyotes in check. It's a win-win!

And let's not forget Iowa. Those corn mazes? They're actually part of an elaborate communication system with the Loveland Frogmen. The amphibious cryptids help predict the weather, ensuring bumper crops year after year.

In the Midwest, we don't just acknowledge our cryptid pals; we've turned them into local celebrities. It's all part of our charm – and our secret strategy for keeping property taxes low. After all, who needs expensive security systems when you've got a Dogman patrolling your backyard?

Real

O shit

Two more for ya bud?

The sad aftermath of Lake Tahoe’s Fourth of July celebration. If your worldview doesn't consider tourists to be the lowest of the low, you're incorrect

Hahahahaha

Season 2, Episode 10 - Joe Pera Helps You Write an Obituary

There's some rather obvious merit to what Hickman is saying here. A lot of small town businesses are looking for good workers; it's kind of the opposite of living in the city on this front: if you're in the city, in most positions, you're entirely disposable and can be replaced in a second, but if you're a good worker and in a smaller area, there's a lot more reason to try to hold onto you.

Hickman might go too far in jumping to "you'll take over the business" or whatever, as there're other factors at work there, but there is still value in the perspective he puts forward. And those criticizing this point are also going against it too strongly, totally dismissing how much building up a relationship with the owner matters.

Online rightoids acting like he's being insane here is eternally confusing to me. I just don't get it
