As someone who lives in the "wouldn’t be that tough." That's big talk for someone who likely doesn't want to spend their last moments desperately clawing at the roof of a pine box.

why democrats can't have guns?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago

Democrats have guns. They just don't worship their guns, display them like phallic symbols, or make a big deal of having them like conservative nutsos do. So there's a ridiculous stereotype that Democrats don't have guns and want to take guns away that conservative nutsos use to terrify their base into voting against responsible gun ownership laws.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Plenty do. The thought that democrats don’t have guns is a stereotype. Being pro gun control and being a responsible gun owner are compatible.

Fully agree,

May Florida Man protect us.

Lol, I do wear shorts in winter. We have a lot of guns up here too. Probably more guns than people.

Apparently the DMV is up for grabs?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Nah, it’s just gangs of representatives from all the other groups.

Surprised Hawaii doesn't just say "Ask Japan how it went"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean... The Hawaii part went pretty well for them. It was the rest of it afterwards where things went south.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Nah. The Pearl Harbor raid didn't achieve its actual objective, sinking the carriers, and some of the battleships they sunk were even refloated.

It's kind of light on details but the carriers are the important bit because their goal was to hit the Pacific Fleet hard enough that America just wouldn't bother fighting for its Pacific colonies, Japanese leadership was very much aware it couldn't win an actual war, especially after they'd already lost two million soldiers massacring their way into a stalemate in China.

I know that's probably not what was meant, but I'm reading "seals" as the animals, and the image is glorious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

It likely is the animals. San Diego has a lot of seals on their coast.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'll be honest, I don't know what was meant.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

I love how you got both answers, so we're still none the wiser. :D

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

Real seals. Socal has a lot of them.

Minnesota is also missing the "wears shorts in winter" tag.

Happens all the time in negative degree weather.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it hits -30f, you put on the shorts, the light hoodie, and you go out and get milkshakes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Milkshakes in negative temps hit different.

hit better.

Fuckin delicious.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That tag could probably be on the entirety of the North. From Michigan

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's fair, just pepper that tag across the top.

We could have better roads, but the Romans would instantly see that a network of rail lines is infinitely more efficient for both people and cargo, so major auto arteries would become a thing of the past. Win win

Several countries claim to be the successor to Rome

None claim to be the successor of Coke

The Roman Empire is immortal, the Coke empire is only temporary

As a resident of "this part wouldn't be that tough", i disagree. The entire Cascade range extending from the top of the central valley to the top of Washington, extending out to the ocean, is very very rough, steep, heavily forested terrain that would be absolute hell to get any kind of equipment through if the locals were to blow up a grand total of three bridges on three separate highways.

Also, fat chance invading the USA from the Pacific. That's like trying to get through a chastity belt by putting your dick in the padlock.

I'm far more afraid of the Nazis in Baton Rouge running this state than I am of Acadians hunting out in the swamps. Just don't go in the swamp! The Nazis are actively making life worse whether you seek them or not.
