No no no. Unacceptable. I say we send a manned mission up to Mars, and reunite the rover with the pet rock.
This is the most important thing of this or any other generation. This will be the Zoomers moon landing moment. Disney will somehow own the copyright to this moment in 200 years, and make a largely ficticious, but partially inspired animated film based on this mission.
Wow, and this was from a verified account, so it’s definitely real. Shit…
Oh well. Rest in piss and blood emeralds, you bloated fuck. Your kids hated you and nobody loved you (especially your dad that has sex and children with your sister).
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.
