By that logic you'd have to kick out Nebraska too.

 No.446

Kansas is a lot more like the midwest than the west, unfortunately. If you kick Kansas out, then basically you're saying Oklahoma through North Dakota is a separate region. The bad apart about this is that the KC and Omaha metro areas are very much midwestern, and those state's populations are overwhelmingly in those areas.

This. Nebraska doesn't go from Midwestern to Western until about North Platte or so, and the area to the west of it is really desolate.

Can Kentucky be considered part of you guys? We are kind of in the south, but Louisville and Lexington are very close to the Midwest culturally and geographically.

I spent most of my life thinking Kentucky was midwestern due to how similar it is to southern Indiana and Ohio

But then people called me stupid ;_;

Ca here. Can't imagine moving to the Midwest because I would be quite bored. Here I can eat at a different Asian restaurant everyday if I want to, and I'm not talking about Americanized variants titled "Bonsai Wok: Asian Sushi" which I have seen in the North-West. I am much more likely to move abroad than into the hinterland.

Have you taken the brown pill yet, mateys?

it's a tough pill to swallow! The brown pill was founded in 1999 by Sir Reginald Brownpill, who presents and narrates the attached video.

Forget red and blue pills, brown pills are the way of the future.

Video related. Please leave your questions, comments, and concerns below about this radical new paradigm of thinking!f

Swawerllow the brown pill today! Red pills are for fedora fucking wearing faggots, blue pills are for the ignorant masses. Ignore the other le epin /pol/ maymays, this one is the readl deal.awerw

Any Madison or general Wisconsin residents on this board? I was wondering if we could discuss the city as I might be moving there for my career but am extremely hesitant.

>Live in a really nice far western suburb of Shitcongo almost all my life (Kane/DuPage area)

>Have a nice apartment, it's expensive, yet the cheapest in the area, never taking it for granted
>Have been out of a job and running out of money for a long time
>Got a 43k offer in Madison
>Went there and have scanned around on Google maps
>The campuses are nice but everything else seems like dreary half-empty strip malls and random factories in the middle of commercial areas
>All the apartments are either really gross shit aimed at college students, really expensive shit, or good newly built shit that's out in the middle of a field near the highway

To move or not to move, that is the question? All I hear is that Madison is "so wonderful" for some reason or another, but it seems that outside of the college campus and capitol area, it's ugly and depressing as fuck.

OP here, I've been living in Madison now for the greater part of a month. It's okay, there are many nice things but I'll always pine for my cozy apartment in Kane Co, IL.

Things I have discovered/learned about Madison:

>Navigating the convoluted one-way streets and intersections is still a nightmare, as long as I stick to the same route I'm fine, but if I go anywhere new, I always end up somehow getting stuck on a highway entry ramp

>Apartment hunting really does suck, even amongst my new co-workers, a lot of them are looking to relocate and having a hard time

>The spring foliage really does help it seem less depressing

>Milios is nowhere near as good as Jimmy Johns or Jersey Mikes

>Lunch options in the Shenk/Atwood and Willy Street area are all overpriced

>It's also full of hipsters/hippies

>This town has tons of Asian restaurants, I kinda miss the Mexican fare of the Shitcongo region

>Free public parking doesn't exist, gonna have to take the bus from now on

Madison doesn't have Jimmy John's? I seem to recall there being one there years ago, though I never ate there or anything.

Nah, they have Jimmy Johns, just Milios has 3x more locations and closer to where I work.

Also, weird thing I saw the other day:

Three fully armed F-16 fighters on a landing course to the airport. Do they use it for military purposes?

Dunno why they need to be flying over multiple times a week, fully armed.

If you're going to call it something weird, you might as well just starting calling it "tonic" like an old New Englander. At least then you'd sound like you're replenishing some hit points or something.

There aren't, really, unless you're comparing the Midwest to Western states. A bunch did come up during the Great Migrations, but you mostly see them in urban areas as far as the northernmost states go.

 No.391

I wouldn't quite say that. Sure there are a bunch in Detriot, Milliwaukee, and Shitcongo, but for the most part the Midwest is pretty fucking white.

Most of the black people around my area are in Jefferson City, where theres a somewhat sizable community of them. Im honestly surprised Jeff has yet to become Ferguson Lite, since that's where they can get state laws passed, and im really glad that their last march to Jefferson City was a peaceful one. I guess it goes to show that not all of the Ferguson movement is bad.

Southwestern here, used to live in the east coast and MI.

Common sense -avoid Shitcongo, Detroit and the niggified areas of ohio. Wisconson and Minnesota probably arent too bad imo, and northern MI as well

Thankfully the SW doesnt got much a prob with nigs, but whites are a minority here.
