Yes, it really is that bad. I'm from bumfuck nowhere and Olive Garden is considered bougie. JCPenny is practically Tom Ford to the people here.

I'm not saying this to be mean, because by extension this applies to me too, but so many places in the US and Canada are just, for lack of better term, the burger zone. This isn't simply just places that are not the city. Rural places have at least some things that might make it unique, small midwest cities like Ann Arbor or Buffalo have at least a little actual amenities.

It's no one's fault that they are in the burger zone thanks to hellworld. It's practically a cruel joke played by porky to make our lives as boring as humanly possible.

A cruel joke would at least be funny sadness I guess at the end of the day this is also complaining about treats but that is a mindset I'm having skill issues picturing
