    You should sort them in alphabetical order, my European brain won’t be able to remember them otherwise

    Split it along the time zones instead. Less states and simpler administration. Washington DC can be its own time zone just to mess with people.

    I like how the map shows the curvature of the north border (49th parallel), meaning all these lines bulge north in the middle.

          These welfare queen red states would turn into Somalia in short order. If I can’t make it back to a blue state before the borders close I’m going to fucking kill myself.

              I won’t be alive to see it if it comes to that, so that doesn’t concern me. But sure, the rest of the U.S is kinda sorta worth saving, I guess. Maybe.

                We’ll smuggle you out.

                I feel like any major restructure like that would require some sort of open border policy, even if temporary, simply because people have never had any reason to not move…? And if we Balkanize with closed borders from go, well that’s for sure going to cause conflict.

        Insular, gossipy, ugly, unintelligible, poorly dressed crazy religious dumbfucks and normal humans who actually have empathy and can accept their town gaining new residents without throwing a redneck tantrum about it every day while said new resident occupies free real estate in their moldy swamp brains.

            From my perspective it’s punching back. But there are always exceptions to the rule. My philosophy is “give respect, get respect”, not “viciously slander, patronize and exclude outsiders until they break yet somehow still feel entitled to their kindness and expect them to suck you off and inflate your already over-inflated ego”.

            Linux isn’t derived from Unix, just originally based on it. The BSDs and Darwin (Mac) would be the unfortunate casualties, but at least most of the country won’t be stuck with Windows?

            Edit: And, I guess, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4/5. The former “borrowed” the networking stack from OpenBSD, and the latter are based on some BSD variant if I recall correctly.

    Bullshit. I just moved from Oklahoma to California to escape the hell hole that is that backwards ass state and I’m not reincorporating.

    Sounds more like a new line up of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of those suffering from delusions of grandeur and acute narcissism
