You’re heaping a lot of guilt on the shoulders of those that don’t really have a choice.

as if they were some innocent bystanders sucked into an evil black hole of traffic…

That’s honestly how it is in the states. You go where your job tells you to. Even jobs that could be remote (as proven by the pandemic) are making employees return to work.

I don’t need your scorn; the people making me commute should be your target. I’m just trying to pay my bills.

Aboriginal is mostly associated with Australia, but since this is a Canadian study I thought it would be helpful to link to the tribes there.

For North Americans the term most often heard in popular usage is ‘Indigenous’

Do you mean the Liberian flag? 🇱🇷 Never heard of the Armenian flag 🇦🇲 being confused for the USA’s

Pretty sure I got it! Looks to be a recolored version of one of Norwich University’s logos. Search for NU sports logo got a hit in maroon and gold; reversed image searched and received these results.

We have so many 7-11s in my area; do other states not have them‽ I’ve traveled quite a bit but it’s honestly not something I kept a tally of

Silver lining is they won’t have to deal with LAX.

Obligatory Babylon 5 Swedish meatballs

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,

I’ve had a chuckle about Canada being the 51st state before, but this is just ridiculous

Soda for sure! Fun regionalism is that we call our freeways/highways “the 5” instead of I-5 in SoCal

I’m also in CA; I’ve always heard them referred to as Philly cheesesteaks

This gives me the perfect chance to share a fun trivia fact! One of the best ways to link migration patterns were arrows carried by the birds from one area to another. As always, there’s a word for it in German - arrow stork. Even better is that the original specimen is one posted on this map; the white stork!
