Ya know dude sometimes folks don't need to post Salem news in Boston?

Given that I live in Boston and not Salem this it's not just moral to not go there, it's easy.
I've always though subs focusing on specific cities would benefit from local news specific to other cities.

Reply to Is the bike related post ban for real? by nomolurcin
Banning bike related posts from a massively pro-cycling city, especially because of a personal issue, is nonsense.
Sorry mod, you probably deserved it.
This sub can kick rocks.

It's silly, but the trend to call House 'Hausu' is pet peeve of mine. It's just 'House', it was released with an English title. In addition to the actual English there was a katakana supratitle but that's just a phonetic translation for Japanese pronunciation of English words and it's silly to translate back as 'hausu' unless you are actually speaking Japanese, it's like a stupid game of pronunciation telephone. Years ago when it was re-released some people started marketing it as 'hausu' and it's been nonsense ever since. It reeks of people who don't know Japanese trying to be "authentic" with absolutely no knowledge of why they are doing so. Like the film-nerd equivalent of getting a Kanji tattoo that they heard means 'power' or whatever and any native speaker has to hold back their laughter or confusion.

Only a pedant would raise an issue with someone conflating Cambridge or Somerville with Boston. Salem isn't greater Boston, it's just Salem.
And yeah, I do think local news should be local. If it were a story about Salem and it had ties to Boston, sure whatever. But news about some local shithole being shitty in Salem isn't pertinent to conversation about Boston.
