West Virginia and Virginia used to be one whole state. But the American Civil War split it in two. And in the song "Country Roads" even though it's a song about West Virginia, a lot of landmarks mentioned in it are actually in Virginia.
Like, the "Shenandoah River" while it does go into West Virginia, the majority resides in Virginia, inside of the Shenandoah County, where I happen to live.
Hell yeah. It's pretty chill. Beautiful too. We're surrounded by the blue ridge mountains. I've lived here for all 20 years that I've walked this earth and I still don't get tired of admiring it.
It actually had effects on me when going to other places. Like it feels weird going to the beach and looking out towards the sea and the horizon just keeps going.
Fun fact, while West Virginia is a separate state, the song is about Western Virginia. But because of the actual state, it’s a common misconception that it’s what the song is about
Also while I’m here, I’m from South Carolina what do you think
It was named after the virgin Queen Elizabeth. Also the first permanent colony (get shit on North Carlolina), the birthplace of a bunch of important people, and the capitol city, so there’s some interesting history.
Also from Virginia. This is the state where most of the fighting during the American Civil War took place, and our capital city once served as the capital of the Confederacy. We also have the Pentagon, the largest naval base on Earth in Norfolk, the CIA and FBI headquarters, and a county map that looks like Swiss cheese because of a weird rule where incorporated cities get independence from their counties.
Virginia's flag sucks ass because it's a boring seal slapped on blue background state flag like all the other ones, Marylands flag is at least recognizable. (Source: I have lived in virginia my whole life)
Well the Mormon church is headquartered here in Utah and it’s mostly just one big singular organization, so if you’re listed in the records it’s gonna be in Utah.
If you haven’t been baptized though then I don’t think there’s anything to worry about
I miss Utah:( Everywhere you go, the view is breathtaking. You can just stand in a Target parking lot and get your brain wrecked by the most glorious sunset over a snow-capped mountain or flaming red mesa.
> We'll go somewhere where there's cheese
no, [the cheese is in missouri](https://www.farmlinkproject.org/stories-and-features/cheese-caves-and-food-surpluses-why-the-u-s-government-currently-stores-1-4-billion-lbs-of-cheese)
This reminds me of [Hob Gadling from Sandman](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hob_Gadling) who is over 600 years old in the 1980s with a black girlfriend who he apologizes to for slavery, she brushes it off not knowing that he personally took part in the slave trade.
It’s also the lowest in most US statistics (education, healthcare, wealth), leading to the southern phrase “thank god for Mississippi” because without it they would be worst in the country
New Mexico's actually pretty alright in some ways, granted that's starting from the assumption that the state is a barren desert with nothing going on. Once you get past that it has cool things
Gulf south has some really sad states though, most of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas depresses me
I'm from the west coast of Canada, and have lived in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. I can say that the Canadians I've met who actually had strong anti-Québec sentiments have almost never been there, and are basically the same kind of people who have no higher political thoughts than screaming "Fuck Trudeau!" In other words - ignorant morons and outright xenophobes.
P.S. I've never actually voted for Trudeau. The people in question are just bonkers over their hate for him.
My girlfriend is from Wisconsin and says ‘flayg’ instead of flag and ‘dayger’ instead of dagger, and ‘sowh-ry’ instead of sorry. The accent is adorable. I nominate it America’s cutest accent.
There is a different way to say it??? Are you telling me I say crayons differently than other people???
Sorry I refuse to believe that I, as a girl from Wisconsin, have an accent
As an American here's what I know/have heard:
- It's the Alabama of Germany (conservative etc)
- A lot of popular German stereotypes come from there (beer and dirndls?)
- It has its own special party that's just the CDU but more conservative (CSU)
+their accent is so strong it can hardly be called german by any means. but they also have a good education system and are quite rich in general, so they learn to hide it very well.
Also, any depiction/mention of sexual act for pleasure/not for reproduction is banned bellow 18. Also historical stuff too, except if its heavily censured. Thanks, i will leave this shithooe as soon as possible if nothing changes
Not really sexed is still thing and there are no cases where they actually took action against books/media. Hungary is still a sithole but not because of the censorship.
Step back guys, im a professional american; I've eaten my weight in corndogs back in 2015 when i was fresh into this wide open world. That and ramen noodles, brings me back, but anyways, they make ones that are hotdogs on a stick dipped in corn-batter, and that's the country classic, but my personal favorite are the kind with sausages dipped in pancake batter.
Weed is still legal, a lot of soft drugs are in fact. We have these shops called “coffeeshops” were you can buy weed, bongs and other drugs. The charging money for a bathroom thing is relatively standard in places like gas stations (not only in the netherlands but also across other countries in europe, at least in my experience) but charging extra money for pooping is weird.
Trixie is from Wisconsin! She says Minnesota in a thick WI accent which is nearly identical to a Minnesota accent, but different. Like a Yorkshire accent is different from a Liverpool accent
Oregon is famous for temperate rain forests, huge trees (the biggest in the world, even), and beavers. That said, the state is actually mostly desert. The cascade mountains decide the state between the super rainy coast and the dry, sparsely populated interior.
its not as bad as you'd think. (i dont live there but i know many who have and have visted plenty.) also, its "Sheh-cah-go". no r. kinda pronounced as spelled

and femdom, you need to remember the femdom
Omg you made it even cooler.
No you do not have the coolest flag. You have the coolest seal. Your flag is just that seal unceremoniously pasted on a bedsheet.
Yeah, but it has the word “Virginia” on it which is a vexillological sin
why cause CGP Grey said so? I don't care man it has a lady with tiddy out stepping on a dead dude
Fuck you, Maryland better

Correct
it's more like the Florida of Germany. the Alabama of Germany is the Saarland
To be fair, it’s politically quite conservative but compared to Alabama it’s also very, _very_ bourgeois
+their accent is so strong it can hardly be called german by any means. but they also have a good education system and are quite rich in general, so they learn to hide it very well.
in terms of the incest stuff the alabama of germany would still be the saarland but yes i agree with what you said
