Detroit is way ruder than LA. And NY has always been kind to me. So, you know, eff them.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would rather hang out with the supposed "rudeness" of big city people than the fake friendliness I've sometimes come across in suburbs. This doesn't hold true across the board, obviously, but.... I love cities and city people!

I didn't find DC particularly rude either. Maybe a little self-important, but not rude.

That's the same girl who had the story about the hippopotamus, right?

There were hippos in this tale, so...maybe?

I think it's the same video, actually. That girl is really adorable. I think her and the little girl who summarizes Star Wars should team up and tell fantastically adorable stories together.

That video is odd. Someone linked to that girl ages ago and I remember part of what she says, but I don't remember the Winnie the Pooh element or a few other things.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cars sliding down icy road in Pittsburgh
It's a steep hill, so some of the cars end up sliding pretty fast before they crash into stuff....

That is one slippery road! Yikes.
Reminds me a of a video that was very popular around this time in China last year: students at a university in Jilin sliding down a hill of ice to go to class - luckily my campus was flat, or we would have had this sort of nonsense happening too. There is a really hilarious photo of all of us marching single-file though the snow once, though.
