Like, can you name just a few large cities in certain regions, none at all, wtf is the USA, etc.

The USA is geopolitically isolated in a rather unique way on the global stage where this is an interesting perspective.

Which Centralia? The one that inspired Silent Hill? Or the site of the anti-labor massacre?

Wait were those different, I though they were both the PA Centrallia

EDIT: WASHINGTON STATE. Damn, every time I hear of "anti-labor massacre" I just assume Pennsylvania

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

Yup. We had those on the West Coast too.

I was thinking of the one with the cracked roads and the fire burning below. So that's probably the former? Haven't actually heard of the massacre I think.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 months ago

That is indeed. The massacre happened in Centralia, WA on the other side of the continent.
