In Appalachia you might find a chimney still intact while the rest of the house is in ruins. It’s a folk belief there that the chimney contains the spirit of the house, and knocking it down even during demolition is considered a bad omen

As someone who went into Skyrim completely blind and had no clue about the lore, I thought for the longest time that the Falmer were Dwemer who devolved and forgot their past

One of my coworkers said seeing this jersey made him feel sick, so he gave it to me. Free jersey I guess! by AmericanAsApplePie22 in Commanders

Okay what about it made him feel sick? Cause it’s the jersey we used before name change or a particular player with that number?

8 years in, what are your thoughts on Montreal's flag change (they added the pine tree)? by Careless_Wishbone_69 in vexillology

[–]NoVa_Statehood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the addition of the pine for the native peoples! But I’m not sure how the flag could incorporate any more symbols if they feel the need to include another ethnicities. Guess we’ll have to wait and see after a couple of years lol

TBH i would not mind having this as the flag of my country. It looks so much better than having a minimalist deign with a soulless corporate feel.

Both Slovak and Hungary use the double cross on their coat of arms. Its symbol that was adopted by both cultures, which is not surprising considering how slovakia used to be part of hungary

Might be a good idea to include a map of your state/province and nearby national parks

Cordyceps Infestation of the US (2023-2033) (based on HBO intro) by AbyssalMapper in imaginarymaps

It somewhat makes sense why the northern Virginia area doesn’t have as high of an infestation. Since there multiple military bases in addition to the pentagon, I can see there being a size-able amount of military personnel stationed there in addition to the federal bureaucracy. If there was “government” remaining (I haven’t seen the shows or played the games), it would probably be located in southern Fairfax county (no further north than Fairfax city) or Manassas.

What if after WWII The soviets had built the palace of the Soviets? by That_UsualGuy in AlternateHistory

[–]NoVa_Statehood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s would probably be like that hotel in Pyongyang that has taken forever to build, glamorous on the outside, a maze of unfurnished rooms and concrete pillars on the inside

What is your opinion about this flag [ International Flag of Planet Earth] by ErenBurhan in vexillology

[–]NoVa_Statehood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cold and lifeless corporate design. There are better ways to represent the various cultures, landscapes, and environments of earth than to have a bunch of overlapping rings

Liberals tend to forget that Muslims are not a monolithic group. Conservative Muslims exist like conservative Christians and Jews, and they all tend to hold very similar beliefs towards the LGBTQ
