😆
women get angry AF and lose their minds if you say no
It seems many also seem to think that things like being a creepy stalker, grabbing body parts, or expecting a fuck if they pay for dinner or that any rules don't apply to them if they are pretty.

Shelter was Timmy Regisford, very few drugs but not entirely straight edge either - have been monsooned in chemicals and an equally mixed crowd
i miss this US of A but don’t miss the entire “oh you’re off the boat, boy do we have some chores for you”. Certain urban centres after dark, festooned with latino hoover ladies floor upon floor and up since 5am doing the morning shift too. If you arrive through this route, you’re the equivalent underclass for your generation. Sure, your children may prosper but you will be worked to death
Side hustles too. Brits would say “I’m on a Saturday hobble”, whereas in the US if you can hire tools (and use them) you can work 7/7 indefinitely. Don’t hate the player hate the game. Same with people who ‘brunch’. Grow up and I love eggs Benedict

You get surreal urban histories so divorced from your own cultural baggage as to emerge anew
You can spend a week in DC and get a feel for its relatively small scale, drive past the Lincoln memorial as you cross the Potomac, drive past the Watergate without realising what significance it held until, d’oh, it’s the Watergate fool!
Another example was the Cellar Door club. i’ve rinsed Live/Evil but it wasn’t until I heard the Cellar Door Sessions that a small nondescript doorway at street level revealed and revelled in its occulted knowledge-base. U St gets all the hype, Duke Ellington murals etc but it has devolved into a chintzy, semi-kitsch form more suited to entertaining DC’s transient professional classes

Pools
At apartment complexes and suburban gardens, the ubiquitous pool - see The Swimmer, nowt has changed
If you grow up learning to swim in British pools or more rarely a lido, you have to face the horrors of the pre-pool foot wash micro-pool. Old plasters and chlorine and varuca scabs, fuckin rank and, inevitably, some bairn sat sploshing in it
At least lidos have got a grip here
