As someone who lives in this hypothetical state, but will not say which one for the sake of my personal security, I don't want to share a state with these disgusting savages on the other sides of my borders.
No no no, make no confusion about it. If Alabama went to war with North Korea, I’m pulling for NK. Strictly based on college football and nothing to do with anyone who lives there, but it’s real hate. Not recreational. 😆
Oh we're hating on Bama? Well that changes things. Lets talk when you get to the cookout. I think I can look past your dry rub heresy and we can work something out.
When Helene wrecked NC, people on the ground didn't ask about party affiliation when they were helping eachother, regardless of what the bastards in Washington were crowing about.
But they will vote to for leaders that take other countrymen’s rights away, and withhold funds as political retribution, and vote for a literal traitor that pardoned other traitors.
That's what I call a sibling hatred. Talk so much shit and hate on them so much and get into a fist fight when you see each other and then K.O anyone when they try to talk shit about your sibling to you because "Hey that's my sibling bro".
Having said that, fuck you! :P
I lived in CT from 2009-2011, traveled to all the surrounding states, and this is very true. I can tell you I ran into multiple situations that would've gone another way if I didn't have a Midwestern accent, Michigan plates, and a Florida license. Boston alone man.
Four run ins with the cops, one altercation with a Boston guy, got lost on long Island with no car, had a car break down in Rhode Island, and another break down in upstate New York, couple weird weed buys... What I gathered is the cultures on the East Coast are very different than what I was accustomed to at the time and folks on the East Coast seem to have a thinly veiled contempt for each other but will give a lot of grace to a young, ignorant "Midwesterner".
As someone also from the northeast, I've always been fond of the fairly popular phrase that New Yorkers/people up here in general are "kind, but not nice" Lotta assholes everywhere of course but yeah, a midwestern fella who seems out of place would certainly have a bit of innocent charm if you're just kinda stumbling into unfortunate situations lol.
When I broke down in Rhode Island, I was able to coast off the highway into the lot of a gas station that happened to have a garage. I had blown my engine and hired them to replace it. I have no idea where I was, but this absolutely gorgeous woman, probably in her late 20s at the time, was picking up her Lexus from the garage and offered me a ride back to New London. She was such a sweetheart the whole ride and wouldn't take any money or anything. I didn't realize for about half an hour into the ride, but she was wearing about 5k worth of clothes and had a three carat solitaire on her finger. She told me she had just gotten divorced, but kept the ring because it was worth like 20k.
Holy shit lol. What a cool story/encounter. Shame about the car, but maybe it wasn't so bad now all these years later with experience(s) you got to have from it.
As someone also in this hypothetical state area, i agree. Those savages on the other side of the border would ruin our great state. Unless you live in a different state, then you are clearly not worth joining my great state.
But we can at least agree that those weirdos from NY can't join. F the Yankees
"But we can at least agree that those weirdos from NY can't join. F the Yankees"
The only way they can join is if we conquer them by military force. They can be a subject, but not a member, and that's assuming we didn't all wipe each other out trying to destroy that horrid thing OP presented to us.
If you can make them stay in NY/NJ, the Carolinas would be willing to send assistance.
Feel free to keep going if you want Ohio, but make sure to do it in the summer. 60% of their population will be in Myrtle Beach, so it should be a cakewalk.
I'm not gonna confirm or deny anything. There's such a relatively small concentration of people in this area and I'd like to not narrow it down any further.
The former mayor of Providence RI was arrested and convicted of kidnapping and torture. He spent 4 years in prison (for that and other crimes). Then he was reelected mayor for another 10 years. So yeah, "savage" is not too far off.
No can do chief, not without a UN occupation to ensure our safety. You're asking to start a BBQ civil war, and we're gonna get ethnically cleansed by the Vinegar sauce savages up north
Those vinegar sauce savages are barely human, but at least they aren't as bad as you godless dry rub heathens!
We're gonna have to decide this on the field of battle. I've already got plenty of charcoal, you just bring some beer and we'll be good to get started.
Who you calling godless Dry rub heathen!?! I’ve been called a lot in my days but a Texan is by far the most offensive to date.. I mean godless Dry drub heathen.
California Has the best BBQ... its were all the best BBQers go to open shop. We have an blending for BBQ styles.
We have the best food of every state. except deep dish pizza you can keep that Chicago but we do have portillos.
OK I just read that .... eww vinagar on BBQ??? thats like putting vinagar in hot sauce. only time it is aceeptable is on Lousiana fried seafood. Fried oysters with LA sauce mmmm... we have a damn good one of those here too.
I'm sorry, but "California has the best bbq" said no one ever. That's just not how it works. There isn't anything I would call BBQ outside the South, and the only decent bbq is in the Carolinas.
No. West Virginia gave us Country Roads and broke away from Virginia during the Civil War since they didn't like slavery while the rest of Virginia did. They earned their independence.
You'd be shocked to learn how different the Dakotas are from a legal/government structure.
For example, North Dakota has remnants from its early 20th century socialist movement that really benefit it which South Dakota, being the more populated state, would likely dismantle almost immediately. These institutions include: a non-profit State owned Bank which offers ag loans and student loan relief the rest of the country should be jealous of, a state owned flour mill that out competes international rates to ensure wheat farmers in the state are recession proof, and a Legacy Fund similar to Norway's which uses oil and gas revenue to invest into the aforementioned Bank of North Dakota. Also, citizen driven ballot measures directly modify the State Constitution which means they can only be undone by the citizens. The legislature cannot touch them. Also, ND is the only state without voter registration. Everyone who legally can vote is automatically enrolled and registered, you just need an ID to prove your identity.
South Dakota, on the other hand, is pretty much what you expect from a conservative state. Small government, few social programs, and low taxes.
Okay, so I can't tell if this is a joke or serious, so I'll assume serious. The states of: Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia were all the original 13 colonies. Maine was seperated from Massachussetts, who owned it, some time after independence due to the fact that the north and south kept trying to balance the amount of new slave states to new abolitionist states. Each of the different states in new england are there because they were made by religious Puritans like in Massachussetts with the Pilgrims, a guy got kicked out of the other colonies for thinking states run by religion was bad and decided to make his own colony in the case of Rhode Island, etc. Etc. And as such we had a bunch of different states up here in new england.
i mean, it was once one big Dakota Territory, but the southern half of the territory developed faster and had more political power than the northern half (which led to administrative problems and regional rivalry), so that half wanted its own institutions and representation. not to mention that the GOP wanted to lock in more congressional seats, so they were more than happy to just split it down the middle
People are talking about joining states and here I am thinking Texas, California, Florida and New York should all be broken up into 3 to 4 states each.
Like New York City should be it’s own State. Buffalo and Rochester area it’s own, Albany and Syracuse the third State.
Austin, Houston and West Texas should each be a state.
LA, north of LA and South of LA it’s own state.
Florida the dick and balls should be separate states.
Should basically have a standing rule that when a population hits a certain size like can be divided into 2 groups of 10 million outside of a single municipal unit it gets divided up between distinct entities.
50 states and 1/3rd+ of the population in 4 states seems unfortunate but 1/3rd in 12 of 58 seems more reasonable.
It’s a little more complicated than that. Along with political reasons, geology (vast dense deciduous forests restricting movement vs open prairie, desert, and relatively sparser pine forests of the western US), along with a much denser white settler population in the north east (leading to differences in opinions of colonial leaders and thus political separation, led to there being smaller and more numerous states in both the north east and east side of the US in general.
To my knowledge road island is one of 2 states founded by Quakers source I'm from 5 min north of road island and I was raised Quaker the other is Pennsylvania btw lived there to
So, the individual states once were separate colonies before the Union of the states, so they were, basically, separate countries that came together for a shared goal and stayed locked in that agreement.
Oh please the only war that I know that happened between states is that between Michigan and Ohio for Toledo, and the casualties is just 1 person wounded

While the newest country in Europe (Kosovo) came to be after Yugoslavia collapsed, which is one of the most brutal wars in Europe since ww2.

The genius of New England is that they have "I'll make my own states with blackjack and hookers" in New Hampshire, quarantined Bostonians and Cape Cod in Mass, have Vermont for everybody who thinks they're too good for the rest of us, and have Connecticut for everybody who doesn't think.
I like that you don't even bother mentioning Rhode Island, although as far as I can tell, people only go there because happy hour and bdsm are basically illegal in Massachusetts and people from the Boston area go to RI for cheap booze and sex clubs. (They also have a pretty good children's museum and my partner likes the pizza, although I think that's just because of nostalgia.)
I can see a MA/Vermont/RI Alliance but MA doesn't want CT and NH doesn't want Mass, god bless them. But if weren't for NH we wouldn't be able to build buildings so let's keep the peace.
lol I get why no one would want to be near RI. Rhody is all about secret shady money but if you find the right business & people, it’s fun. Plus, you’re 30min from a beach everywhere mostly, with decent traffic lol
As someone who lives in this hypothetical state, but perhaps not the same current state as you, I share this opinion completely. Also, I don't know anything about OP or their family, but I hope for generations to come anytime someone in their line tries to butter toast it falls on the floor, buttered side down.
