This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yeah there's also some weird relationships. Progressive midwesterners to the pnw? Cool let me introduce you to my friends from your old city. Conservative Californians to the midwest/south? Fucking Californian transplants.
It's partly just if the region thinks highly of the culture where you're from and if they think yall have good reason to come there.
For real. I moved to the opposite coast after college and a decade of calling it home, I happened to go on a few dates with a lovely person that I later found out was housemates with someone I dated in middle school.
And that's only one instance of dozens in my decades away from that small town of my youth.
WTF, US.
