The El Norte thing is accurate. In Tucson, people in Sonora are the neighbors, and the Southeast is "those weirdos waayyyyy the hell over there."

We've shifted from Yankeedom/Midlands to Greater Appalachia over the last few years.

I've noticed Appalachia has been creeping eastward, firmly into Lancaster County now, and I suspect Lebanon County too.

No no, that shows men are better, we ain't hiding in no schools, we're out there kicking ass and living the high(and drunk) life, taking no shit except other people's when we think nobody's looking.

The county government was much stronger than the state or even federal when all those counties were formed.

Not sure what's so awful about an arts degree.

I mean, unless you feel that society should be 100% utilitarian.

Arts degree? I didn't see that mentioned.

The two things we need most (so make sure the aren't coming by fedex) are air and water.

The chart isn't saying it's bad; the chart is saying that significantly fewer men take those courses/have those degrees than women. It's a counterargument to the standard "not enough women in STEM" numbers.

What's interesting about that is that I see polls saying this, but then I see companies like Chick-Fil-A having to walk back right wing views (in their case, public, loud donations to anti-LGBT organizations) because it was costing them too more customers than they were gaining.

Another example is Carl's Jr, which has lost 13% of its stock price since it came out that they were handing cash over to bigots. We already know about the Target bathroom thing and the Hobby Lobby ("back to the 1950s!") debacle.

So I am unsure which way to think. On one hand, the polls say one thing. On the other hand, the market says something else entirely.
