those are factors too, everything should be considered


I'd say boardgames and movies ought not to be considered since they have literally no bearing on reality.

Unless you work in the boardgame industry or filmmaking industry specifically, I reckon.

Have you tried living in America, it's a living hell here. Sure, there are lots of countries that are worse but that's hardly a consolation.

How do you deal with places that are unnoteworthy in any pop culture. I live in Florida but if you took media into account you'd have to assume I'm living in either Disney world or Miami Beach.

Edinburg is alright I think

Trainspotting is a hilarious romp about Scottish heroin addicts.

See, for someone who hasn't seen it their first reaction to that statement would be "oh that's monstrous! Those poor addicts!"

Did you have to do this? :p

You know how fixated Infected Mushroom gets with pop culture. Now he'll watch the movie and comes back with five different hypotheticals based on it D:

Oh I think it'll be hilarious. The Mafia Queen might even become an addict.

Only Canada.

I imagine the guns, the aggressive political divides, and the racial conflicts would be downsides.
