I've started learning the Canadian national anthem.

Take my state, please! 4th largest economy in the world at the moment. Doesn't that have a nice ring to it?

Just drop out "and native" and your set

Would that be a viable method for a state to secede?

ie, give state to another country (Canada), then state secedes from Canada

If they're talking about California, we can just wait for The Big One™ so we become an island that's just as difficult to invade as England. Then we tell the rest of the country we are our own country now.

You're just describing America after Nixon's cronies implemented the Southern Strategy.

I live in The Free State of Colorado.

Free you say? I'll take it!

[-] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Free as in Freedom, not as in beer.

I've seen it rain fire in the sky.

In no way is this a "showerthought". Seriously. This community is being devalued to worthlessness.

I mean I literally thought of it in the shower but you do you

Edit: "damn with how many protests and division how united are we? How can we really keep continuing calling ourselves united when that's literally the last thing I would call myself with anybody around here."

Sorry it wasn't the most intellectual thought process and now your gold standard community of absolutely thought provoking a profound statements are made. I pray this blemish wont tarnish every one else's thought process.

Right now, it’s just Trump Dumpster.

[-] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

I'd say since FOX state media was launched.

Showerthoughts

35750 readers

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
