Can confirm. Iowa sucks. I live in a flat hellscape

My opinions on Iowa have been radically altered since learning about Xi's fondness for it.

Yea thats because its the only place in america that he spent any extended time in

I think it’s because the people were really nice to him. The hosts at least. Kindness makes any foreign place feel a lot more homely.

It sounds like they really bonded from the interview posted a while back.

Florida’s highest point looks very similar

[Chorus]
You can see for mile and mile
You can see for mile and mile
You can see for mile and mile
And mile and mile and mile
Oh yeah

[Verse 5]
The neighbor's red barn and the interstate
Are yours to see on clear days
You thought that you would need a quadcopter
To see right through the haze
