One thing I noticed as a bit of cultural dissonance in Hot Fuzz was that the hot shit ace police officer prides himself on having never fired a gun in his decades on the force.
One thing I've noticed in American crime shows is that there is never any paperwork to be done.
Also there is this weird dibs thing
Where the sex crimes division will start investigating a crime, and then it turns out not to be a sex crime, but they keep investigating it instead of it moving to another division

It allows for them to work with a wider range of plots than the narrow purview of the show.
Except in cases where it's, like, the FBI vs the CIA. They're just...really catty with each other, both in shows and real life.

So, I visited Salt Lake City a while back. I smelled Marijuana.
Good lord, there's alcohol, and even prostitution there.
Dang it, this is how Illinois people feel about Chicago, isn't it?
At least we still have Prov-nope, gentrification and silicon Valley. They're taking Provo. Frigging Provo, conservative stereotype city par excellence, butt of all our jokes. Who the crap do we make fun of now?
Tumblr Marxist: The Danish Girl is NOT a step forward. It has deeply problematic politics in regards to LGBT+ people, and no one should go see it. Ignore the liberals saying otherwise
Tumblr Marxist: (Reblogs a meme making fun of anti-Stalinists, apparently unaware that Stalin literally criminalized homosexuality and put homosexuals in gulags)
But dang, if the people of Provo become more liberal than us, then who do we make fun of for being too conservative? Then we might have to wonder if WE are the ones who are too conservative!
See, we at Utah State University are not as stupid and liberal as the guys at the University of Utah, but also not as stupid and conservative as the guys at Brigham Young Univesity. This is the balance and it is good, and someday one of those two universities will notice us and consider us a rival except we don't need their attention because they're stupid.
And besides, everybody knows that our football team sucks, Basketball's where it's at.
I had a dream where I drew in sidewalk chalk all around my house (this is impossible in real life, because of the grass grass), in magic shapes and glyphs to protect my house from a flood.
My favourite part about chalk drawings is going into one and riding sentient cartoon carousel horses with a nanny who is a witch, a man with a hilariously bad cockney accent and two underage children.
You know what else is great? Bon Jovi's on a Prayer.
I had an Ipod nano, and before that, a boombox that could be connected to headphones, and I used to listen to that a lot when I was walking downstairs, thinking. That, and Les Mis, and Life Is A Highway, and Gloria Estefan's Get On Your Feet, and so many other songs.
The problem, of course, is that all the songs I like, I've listened to so many times that I can't listen to covers of them without getting uncanny valley. On the plus side, I could possibly identify an impostor of Ella Fitzgerald or Karen Carpenter or Michael Bublé.

Also the Barenaked Ladies, who are gentlemen and generally perform fully-clothed.
Actually, from what I understand, the band was formed as a joke for just one show, and the audience response was so positive they decided to continue...and were stuck with that name.

And Odie, sorry I blew up on you last night about the MCU thing. I was incredibly sleep deprived and irritated.
That would not happen in American media.
Like the one person analysing everything.
You specialise in one, maybe two areas max, and that's it. Like me, my specality will hopefully be in fibres and fire analysis.

My dad got asked by one whilst he was waiting to pick my sister up from a Guide show.
My dad, a married man with three kids.
