everybody's a jerk

Raise your hand if you felt it in your soul when Vic snapped back with “I NEED BOUNDARIES!”

Was drunk and bored and getting annoyed at the ridiculous coverage of the US election so I decided to fix the place.
I’m from Australia where we only have 7 states, as such I have the (objectively correct) opinion that 50 is too many states, so I decided to cut it down to 10.
A few notes on my improved US map:
•Despite Illinois making the cut, Chicago is now in Michigan, due to the state getting the entire bank of its namesake.
•Boston is also in Michigan due to special exception.
•New York is now the capital of Pensylvania
•Yes that’s how you spell Pensylvania
•The border of California is just roughly the Rockies, no need to overthink it.
•Making Florida bigger actually dilutes it’s power, but Texas must be abolished
•Colorado should still be a rectangle, that’s my mistake, I just couldn’t be bothered fixing it.
•Alaska has been returned to Canada with a hand written apology
•All the random ass islands that the US forgot to pretend they didn’t colonise have gained independence

Please let me know if there are any more improvements you can think of.
Edit: As a number of you have mentioned, Alaska never belonged to Canada, and giving it to them would be incredibly wrong when the native people have been trying to gain independence all this time.
Luckily, the apology note got lost in the mail in all the turmoil, so Canada never realised they’re meant to have Alaska now. The Alaskans just start quietly self-governing and hoping the US and Canada don’t notice, then after a few years they declare independence.
OP where do you think Boston is located.
it’s an unincorporated territory

“3,090 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which sand becomes glass, in a process known as the Pilkington Process. This is not the temperature of burning; this is the temperature of becoming something.”

The main difference between the weather being uncomfortably cold, and the weather being uncomfortably hot, is that the things you can do in the cold to warm yourself up (hot food/beverage, blankets, cuddles, nice clothes like sweaters, thick scarves and snazzy jackets, getting exercise) are very pleasant and very effective, and the things you can do in the heat to cool yourself down don’t do shit.
wrong ‼️ you forgot about Jump in Body of Water like ocean or lake or river, and also about Eat Popsicle or Ice Cream, and also about Drink a Delicious Cold Beverage like sweet iced tea or frozen cocktail!!, and Wear Less Clothes like shorts and skirts and dresses and you never have to feel claustrophobic wrapped in a bunch of layers, and you forgot about Lie in the Grass in the Shade under a Tree, and the miracle of Refreshing Cold Shower (impossible at all other times of the year). these are things to live for!!

🩺
This is EXACTLY what is needed to calm people with vaccine concerns.
It is completely understandable that people would be worried about vaccines. Unless youre already educated about vaccines, deliberately injecting a baby with a deadly virus DOES sound scary and risky!! And no amount of “just trust me bro” is going to soothe the concerns of that worried individual. Saying “the doctors know what theyre doing, just trust them” is not going to calm the worries of someone with legitimate concerns and unanswered questions.
What WILL soothe their concerns?
Information. Understanding. Explanations. Answered questions.
“This is how vaccines work in general. This is how This Particular vaccine works. This is what can go wrong with it, and this is how likely/unlikely that is to happen. And this is what can go wrong with not having it, and how likely/unlikley that is to happen.” No fearmongering, no judgement; just calmly laid out cause and effect.
Have you had the vaccine or given it to your kids? Tell the worried person what your experience was.
I know someone who went to their GP during the early days of the covid vax becoming available, and she told him “I have to get the vax in order to keep my job, but im really worried about it, because its brand new and there hasn’t been any long term testing on it yet. Can you please tell me why I SHOULDNT be worried.” She straight up asked him that. Said she didn’t WANT to be vaccine hesitant, but she had concerns, so could he please explain those concerns away.
He scoffed at her for her concerns and told her to do her own research online. She tried looking into it herself, found a conspiracy page first, fell head first down an antivax rabbit hole, lost her job for refusing to get the vax, and now is a full-scale antivaxxer. After specifically going to the doctor like “hey i dont WANT to be scared of this vax but I am so please put my mind at rest so I can get it.”
Had her doc taken the time to answer her valid queries (there WERE no longer term studies on the covid vax! There still arent, because it WAS a brand new vax! It was in fact a valid concern!!) then she would not have fallen down the AV rabbit hole, would not have lot her job, and would not be neck-deep in conspiracy theories today.
Its so important to treat vaccine hesitancy with judgement free explanations and facts. Not only is it the most likely way of convincing someone to get the recommended vaccines, it can also prevent them from sliding into antivaxxer land.

Keep up the good work
Keep making these nazi roaches suffer, keep harassing them, keep making them wish they had never put on their little nazi uniforms
IT IS WORKING :D
Double down on the tactics here, they are proven to get results :D
Keep it up! The gestapo hide their faces out of shame. They know what they’re doing is evil, that their mission is centered on a vile philosophy of white supremacy. These hateful cowards are no different than klansman.
