The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

    “Suburbs of Philadelphia” is pretty funny to me - it’s a 2:15+h car ride there from Philly. Americans might consider 100 miles a short commute, but dang. When does a part of PA stop being a Philly suburb and start being a Pittsburgh suburb?

      50 miles, not 100 miles.

      25 miles each way is not that big of a deal. In college I spent six months commuting 40 minutes each way (traffic gods willing it wouldn’t be longer) from 31st street to Springhouse, PA.

        I was wondering if we are looking at the same map, and then it turns out there are two Valley Forges: one is a neighborhood in (yep!) the Philly suburbs, the other is a township next to York, PA. The latter is what I was referring to!

          Ah, that explains it. I wonder which one they live in.

          Actually it’s probably the York one because “Valley Forge" by Philadelphia apparently isn’t really a town in its own right.
