The controversy around Jason Aldean’s “Try that in a Small Town” got me thinking. What are some things that you wish you could do in a small town that you just can’t?

I was in the mountains, Hendersonville NC I think, trying to find a place to eat after 7 pm on a week day. Was impossible.

I hate that for you

Damn coming in with that small-town passive-aggression.

Sorry? Can't tell if joking, sorry if this is woosh. :)

Ahh, I'm used to "I hate/love that for you" being a disingenuous statement. Kinda like "bless your heart" and other south-isms

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can see why you’d think that. For me it’s just a plain spoken expression of empathy, but I know I’m the south we use bless your heart to mock people gently.
