thatās wild, if Iām not picky about the dates I can get round trip tickets to Vegas for ā¦ just under $100, apparently, which is almost tempting? is there anything to do in Vegas besides gambling?

like, even if the eclipse only covers part of the country, nobody travels from the west coast to the east coast even though itās way shorter. thatās interesting to me

if confirming that iām not in the zone of totality for this eclipse is what finally doxxes me itās a funny way to go out

also because going to see an eclipse would be making our lives more interesting and wouldnāt directly hurt anyone else, and britain is an entirely spite-based country, so that wonāt do

oof, the weather forecast for Indiana is not looking great
Also America is comically huge in comparison to the UK. The UKās land area 90k square miles and the average US state land area is 60k square miles, and we have 50 of them. Traveling to a different part of the country is usually much more of a journey, and states can have surprisingly different vibes from each other.

i meant in terms of like, thereās a lot of familiar cultural structures, and coastal stereotypes about the midwest are actually eerily similar to stereotypes brits hold about each other

Not sure why this reminded me of this, but the modern American accent is more similar to an 18th century British accent than modern British accents are. I just think thatās neat. It has to be a byproduct of us being so spread out.
