Look man, I just pointed out the other side that the meme ignored. You asked why I thought it may have been Russian. And note that I questioned if it was, I didn't say it was. I showed some evidence showing that memes and tweets like this are often Russian. You didn't like my sources, so I provided other sources that were either the other side of the spectrum, or as objectively neutral as they come (except for the Economist, which apparently has moved left recently). 

No sand in my panties from the original. I just pointed out some (not all) missing info from it. You took issue with my post, I answered it, you took issue with my answer, I answered again.  I don't know why you're taking issue with this. 

In reply to Appleseed :

Same with NY. I say I'm from NY and everyone thinks you're from New York City. Upstate New York is more like the South of the North. And if you tell someone you're from New York City, they automatically assume you've been in jail.

Same with WA...

Nobody calls the DC area "Washington", mainly because they get tired of differentiating the two Washingtons.

Huh?

Y'all got nothing on California...

My favorite situation with that was when I lived in Germany. "Where are you from?" California. "*Just* California?" California is bigger than Germany. "...What?"

If you're in NYC and say you've been upstate, it typically means you were in prison, because NYC sends them all upstate. My sister's husband met when they were in college in Utica and they went to his family's Christmas. They ran into someone he knew and they said something to the effect "I haven't seen you around lately, where've you been?" and my (now) brother-in-law said "Oh, I've been upstate." The friend goes "I didn't know you were doing time. What for?" and he was like "No, I've been upstate going to college."

City folk think the Catskills are upstate and lake George is the edge of the planet, nothing's up there.

In reply to mtn :

My second reply was being composed prior to you posting yours.  Chronologically, I didn't read yours before I posted mine.  I appreciate you looking up some more neutral sources- one filter I try to use on the internet is that if only the left or the right is reporting on something, it's probably fake.  But if you see it being reported on both CNN and Fox news, well, chances are it's probably true, or at least real.

Thank you.

I expected thashane to post something like this but you beat him to the punch. There were many times I had to explain to Yurpeans that I was from California, but somehow not LA or San Francisco, did not live near the beach, did not know any celebrities, and was in fact very familiar with this "snow" they were excited to introduce me to. 

It's a big state...

Meme unrelated.
