If there's one thing we Midwesterners can do well, it's play yard games while drinking.

[@Based_Is_Best]

They do a great job of pairing and contrasting “Midwest nice” with “northeast pretentious”

[@Slurptacular64]

I might be biased, but I prefer the northeast over midwest cuz its a lot more honest. We won’t be uber polite and all that, but if we like you, we let you know and if we don’t we let you know. I prefer that over heaps of ‘politeness’ and mumbles under the breath or behind the back. Say things to my face like a northeaster would

[@cadegolden890]

@@Slurptacular64 I can see that, but at the same time plenty of midwesterners are just plain nice. No facade or behind the back whispering. I feel like when you grow up learning to always be polite, it gets ingrained in you and becomes real.
