I have a question for non-North American tumblr- (preface) Because of the World Cup, I’ve seen a LOT of videos of visitors reacting to wherever they are in the U.S. (mostly). Some people are walking through big cities (N.Y.C., Boston etc.) Others are strolling through suburbs or bedroom communities outside for the cities. Others are making videos in Walmart or fast food places or gas stations(?). I keep hearing people say, “Wow, just like in the movies!” (ex. in NYC- “Wow! A grate with steam coming out! Just like in the movies! I can’t believe that’s a real thing!” or in a suburb- “Wow! They have lawns in front of the houses with driveways with cars parked in them! It looks like a movie set!” or at a fast food place- “Wow! They actually have a drive-thru! I thought that was just for movies!” Here’s my question- When people outside of North America watch movies/t.v. shows about North America, do they not think what they see is representative of North America? Do they think suburban neighborhoods are just movie sets and no one in the U.S. really live in those neighborhoods? When I watch media from a foreign country (made for the entertainment of the people in that country) I assume that’s what real life is like. Like when I watch episodes of Doc Martin, I assume that’s what life looks like in a typical British village (not necessarily the eccentric characters, but the visual environment.) I’m just curious what people who have only seen the culture of North America through movies and shows, expect to see when they get to North American countries.

Pump Your Brakes Recently, I needed to have my truck fixed. It so happened that the tow truck driver who arrived for my roadside assistance knew a guy who could fix it for cheap, and more importantly, do the repair that afternoon. Great! Continue reading Pump Your Brakes Pump Your Brakes
Took a couple months (Took a couple months) But now I am secure (Now I am secure) I am so evolved (I am so evolved) Now I ask for more and more and more and more and more
Olivia put ‘expectations’ in between 'less’ and 'cigarette smoke’ because she knew that I couldn’t handle the emotional damage that would’ve been caused by those two songs in order
