Midwesterners

Hicks
Conservative (in actuality, the midwest is very balanced between liberal and conservative)

These people are some of the nicest you'll find anywhere. They aren't as interested in materialism and greed as others in America. Very good work ethic.
East Coaster: You midwesterners are stupid hicks, fuck-bag.
Midwesterner: I'm sorry you think that. Would you like to come in for some dinner?
East Coaster: I feel really guilty for being so mean and making such horrible generalizations about such a nice person.

Midwesterners 

People in the "heartland" area of America who are known for their cultural isolation and close-mindedness. Though they are a hard-working and sharp-minded folk, they have the tendency to look down upon you and derive pleasure from making you feel inadequate and stupid when you have essentially done nothing wrong, but rather merely spoken or acted in a way that is outside their limited, and to an extent ignorant, cultural understanding of the world. Confident and arrogant in their efficient way of life, they shudder when confronted with considerable or subversive cultural elements from outside their known world, and often reject them for the threat they pose to their identity and sense of empowerment.
Have you ever been to Chicago and spoken to Midwesterners? A lot of them are more shockingly ignorant than they may ever realize.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
