I think the recent Dude Ranch meet up was a way to meet Mvuent, get his log him details, slaughter him, and replace him with a clone
yeah i'm thinking the same. poor muvent. and he's fallen for it, which you would. cos they are replicants.

Tbh I would rather be annihilated by the replicants than have our 'moral conscience' return

Texas is too much a power player state to be what I think Leeds is. Your description of leeds fits new jersey well- its the state of blue collar springsteenism while also being a haven for the wealthy who want large lots just outside new York and philly
Leeds is about 4 million times better than texas

I meet at least one northerner a week saying exactly this. Although tbf maybe they are thick.
Yeah I have to back Luka up on this, this is one of the few stereotypes that is absolutely one hundred percent true, not that Northern people are more friendly, but that a weirdly large proportion of them seem to think that they are and loudly proclaim it all the time - usually just as they are doing something really cold and unfriendly.

What? Even in Lisbon?
My comment above isn't specific to a place, I'm just saying that over my life I have seen and heard countless northern types making these claims - my Dad is a Manc and his entire extended family all live within about a mile of each other near Whitefield. He (ok and my cousin Sophie) are the only ones who have ever been South of Birmingham yet all of them and their friends will happily tell me what people down South are like.

My gf had a similar experience when she moved from Russia to Yorkshire - her life was honestly made a misery by backwards yokels with two modes; the first being constant and hilariously witty bullying with the men bestowing on her genius nicknames such as vodka and cheeky girl, drawing deeply from their knowledge of Russia (which could be summarised in its entirety as "They make vodka there and it's probably the same place as Romania") while the women followed suit but with a vicious edge cos she had the thoughtless temerity to be slimmer and better looking than them "ee that cheeky girl won't be able to eat them biscuits and stay thin for much longer"; the second mode, of course, being a continuous and unrelentingly proud assertion of how warm, friendly and welcoming they themselves were....

She particularly recalls the goodbye drinks when she left the company preparatory to moving to London; a whole evening of the salt of the earth queuing up to friendlily and warmly tell her how shit her life would be in London, how unhappy she would become and how the cold and reserved Londoners would never be able to give her the welcome she had received in God's own county. Several told her they would rather die than make that same move.
