Federal Prison

Federal prisons last for usually 12 years. One can end their time at a federal prison early, but the people gave birth to them will be very angry.

It is a little know fact that when you attend a federal prison there is a free and hidden extra dlc consisting of, Gucci wearing douchebags giving you constant death threats, parents giving you death threats when not performing up to their standards(exclusive to Asian servers), and getting pressured by your peers to mimic basically their every action.

Federalsburg 

A tiny (boring) little town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland where nothing ever happens. The most excitement that's happened here, is when they put up a Domino's. Pretty boring, if you ask me....
1: What's there to do here?

2: We can walk around town which will take about half an hour or so. We can go to the playgrounds or go fishing or chill on the railroad tracks near the marina.

1: Well that sounds boring. What do you have to eat around here?

2: Domino's, McDonald's, Subway, Cafe Milano's, some Chinese places....That's really about it.

1: Wow. Federalsburg is BORING!

2: You're telling me. At least you don't have to live here!!

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
