The state of Wyoming is named after a poem inspired by a massacre that happened in Wyoming sponsored by the British.

What a great time it must have been back then

Intercource

There are also phased out names of places or they got shifted.

Like there is an area that was once mapped as beaver pass near me that isn't called that anymore.

Plus a huge part of PA was once called Westmoreland which disappeared.

It's something you just kinda move with through history I guess.

In college (secular) there were always weird groups I'd run into praying in the morning.

Then later in the day they'd be protesting abortion with some idiots that didn't even go to the school accusing everyone of being murderers.

Meanwhile people are just going to class

You'll see the same names repeated all over the country. There are two Philadelphias. And probably 948 Hanovers and 367 Exeters.

Temple was like this the whole time I was there. Ripping down and rebuilding.

And whoever designed some of those buildings were out of their mind. When I think back, a ton of the buildings were fire traps.

It was the same when I was there 15 years ago and they've only gotten worse and worse.

I was there in the era of it basically turning into a perpetual bar/restaurant/mall. I can't even imagine how ridiculous it is now.

I like to read into state lotteries.

They tend to report only on what they give back than just figures.

So beyond paying a production fee and like 25 seconds of TV.

Where is the rest going?

Many of them have sold out to "luxury" housing and basically turned into shopping malls as well.

Which can generally be all paid for by student loans.

Then you'll go to a classroom that's some bizarre yellow room three floors below ground with paint from 1970 taught by another student.

At this point I am convinced most of our government agencies are a single landline phone to an 86 year old woman named Janice who is half deaf and only answers the phone from 10-2.

There has been a lot of horseshit going on in NEPA recently with zero reporting from anyone.

But yanno the 4 year old tap dance recital and church chicken dinner needs to be reported on 890 times.

Come on up north. Less than two hours to NYC, turnpike to Philly. Good medical care...........and 10 minutes from a dairy. Massive history and a big river. PA can be backward at times but the landscape is fantastic.

I don't think it helps that we're constantly shown videos of people in other cities that raid. I've seen them from California to Florida to the UK.

Everyone always seeing video proof emboldens people. Surveillance begins to seem stupid when it doesn't really make a difference.

Strike that, it seems to be making a difference in releasing footage and showing how slow response time is and nothing ends up happening.

Reminds me of a few years ago when people were scrapping the metal cemetery flag holders from veterans graves.

Like where the fuck did the scrap yard owners think they were getting them? You might as well just walk in and scream "hey look what I stole!".

"Because I am not a crazy person." Made me burst out laughing.

Not because I think you're crazy, it just caught me off guard.

I had to go to Wyoming County for the only frigging available spot for a specific medical thing and went by a house that had a "fuck biden" 3x4 ft sign in one of those glass encased, stone things you'd see in front of a church with times and events on it in their yard.

I don't see how or why anyone would want a sign saying fuck in their front yard.

Let's be real here there are still god damn Trump signs around.

The ones I hate the most are the homemade ones. There's one in Kingston/Luzerne made out of wood that I want to light on fire.

Yeah that's the thing. People in your family can do DNA testing. I know an aunt did ours and we are a small family so no murder for me! /s

On the plus side if I was murdered and found they'd know who I was so...good news?

We still have family we've found that make no sense though. There's a family in Egypt with our same surname that are so similar looking that it's insane but unless one of them does DNA testing we won't know the connection.

And we are eastern European by what we know so we don't know who went where.

We have a very minimal last name to the point where I know only I have my name in the states so other families are odd to find, especially when the people look just like you.

High five to Fountain Porter. That was my favorite alone bar. People were always down to chat and it had a safe clientele except for the occasional loud mouth. Never experienced a fight or anything there.

Near Trucksville (I'm being judicious to not pinpoint my town), but give a solid 20 mile radius only doe and fawn.

A shit ton.

Like The Sound of Music level parades across roads.

If you're new to the state you can bring documentation (since it will be dated) to attempt to fight at least one of the tickets.

Generally, a reasonable judge will let one slide. It's the burden of the citizen to learn the ropes but two tickets in two days is excessive if no one is informing you what needs to be done.

Just get a ticket for rolling through a stop sign. That should cover it.

Penalty $10

Fees? Ambulance, Fire, Safety, Roads. $145

Berkheimer sends shit to my parents for me where I haven't lived in decades, continuing to ding my credit till I fight it again and again. It's ridiculous.

Uuhhhh it was just a reference since he mentioned going over the state line for booze.

Well you can spread the word that instead of using the money Wolf was trying to give to families for anything useful...they're going to have a state wide liquor sale!

No dates are announced yet but it was brought up on the local news this morning.
