I’m not saying it’s necessarily a bad thing, I’m just saying eventually, all that will be left of Virginia will be the Delmarva peninsula and then Maryland will claim it.
Delaware is going to take over the whole peninsula with Joe Biden leading the way. It’s all part of his evil scheme to have Delaware take over the entire Mid-Atlantic region.
It’s easy to shit on West Virginia now, but at least they were formed by splitting from Virginia in favor of abolishing slavery. That’s pretty cool in my book.
I love your shot of Sully. I try to focus on mostly scenery so it’s cool to see a well done portrait shot like that. I love the last one too. It has the same vibes as the main menu of the first three
I went to a panel presentation on the early colonies around the Revolution once. When they took questions, I asked if there was any special logistical problems Virginia ran into after due to how large the territory was and man, they treated me like a fuckin idiot. I still think about that. It’s not, like, important or anything I just don’t have a therapist for this sort of shit
should have asked them why, if they were so set on being independent, they didn’t change the name of the state to something OTHER than the queen of england
At the time I was 22 and didn’t have a firm grasp on the idea I could tell someone being rude to go fuck themselves. It was just a bunch of old folks pining for the glory days of national pride and dysentery, but like, fuck. Snuff out a curious light like that.
I’m older but in the same boat. Unless those younger people are part of proud technological illiterati, which really pisses me off for some reason. Probably those 30 years of being an IT drone…
No idea. I still wonder sometimes where the disconnect was, but I also just try to not let things like that get to me anymore. I’m having mixed success
It’s got a few answers. For the first one, the logistics were handled by not administering the territory, those were only claims. For the next one, logistics were handled by breaking them up into other territories that would become states since administering it wasn’t feasible. In the third, it was possible, but it caused problems. The civil war was not the only grievance west virginia had. They had been neglected for the better part of a century. Richmond usually didn’t care much about those on the other side of the mountains. In some ways the civil war was just a good time to do what they’d probably wanted to for awhile. Really the logistics are the reason virginia is the size and shape it is today. Now they have a capitol where they can be not cared for by locals.

Why would a random dealership call the secretary of state, and even if they did why would they not have called the department of transport before that?
That's like calling the CEO before calling the customer hotline

You might be sadly surprised how often that or something similar happens. There are a lot of business customers out there who somehow believe that their business is always the most important business and they shouldn't have to follow standard procedure to get support.
I like how the car (carrier) crashed on him, not that he crashed the car. It’s like they refuse to accept any responsibility, so it’s definitely the car’s fault.
I would bet good money that a part of their madness hinges on the idea that they are not responsible for the operation and actions of the vehicle, they just happen to be sitting in it while it goes places.
Despite being uploaded several months ago, I left a comment on there shortly after leaving my comment on here that was replied to with “Looks like [__________] from Reddit”, and they were right!
“And as I was walking out, I heard a single clap. Followed by another. And another. Faster, now. I turned to see Josh, slowly rising to his feet, a proud, silent respect in his eye. As I continued for the door, slowly but surely, a chorus of hands crescendoed into whoops and hollers. The entire dealership, the mechanics, the salesMEN, the wives, all stood staring in reverence, the wives in lust, as I pushed through the double glass doors in slow motion and out into my carrier. The credits rolled. True story.”
