And Berlin would be in fucking Utah... as someone who lives in Berlin, I strongly resent this notion.
Utah is actually one of the most beautiful states in the US! The people are a little odd, but very nice. Which was actually my experience in Germany as well, so maybe it's not far off ha
you have not actually lived there, have you. The people are very odd, not nice at all, violent if you upset them slightly, and the only beautiful parts are where the people aren't.
I'm sure they're nice if you're a white cishet Christian male.
And I am one of those 👍
Yes I've only visited, and every interaction I had was pleasant, but that's obviously a case study of 1. Didn't know Utah was such a violent place!
Ah, it’s basically the same cultural niche. Haven’t you heard of Salt Lake City’s 24 hour club?
Sorry if I'm mistaken or failing to detect your irony, but isn't Utah this highly conservative state, with a vast majority of the population being white (or Hispanic, which to me counts as "white but speaking Spanish") and where most people follow a crackpot religion which basically views fun things like sex, drugs, alcohol and homosexuality as a sin?
Comparing that to Berlin, a permissive, irreligious, hedonistic, multi-ethnic place, brimming with culture and open-minded people, seems rather far-fetched to me.
It was sarcasm, yes. There’s definitely no 24 hour club in SLC
Sorry, I kinda suspected it was sarcasm but wasn't 100% sure.
No worries, text makes it difficult and if you’re not sure on the culture of SLC, I can see it being unclear
Utah is, salt lake is the one spot of relative normalcy
London being San Francisco is rather apt
