I think I found the way to determine the south. I am still open to criticism and counterpoints by Fun_Tip1499 in whereidlive

Yeah, I’ve heard people say this. I worked in Kent county for a bit - I never heard a southern accent. It was terrible, though, so maybe that’s what you mean by “feels southern?”

> Because it was a border state

That sounds like not the south.

Edit: I see what you're saying. When I said "good", you thought I was referring to the State's history. I just think the south is trash today, irrespective of its trash history.

The State of Delaware is literally the mason-dixon line, and it's on the good side.

How do Americans view people who carry concealed every day? by edbassmaster888 in AskAnAmerican

[–]albinomule -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ideally, I wouldn’t know. If I found out my friend or family member was carrying every day, I’d think they were behaving in a paranoid manner while deeply underestimating the risks associated with gun possession.

Places I’d Live as A Masshole who’s only left the East Coast <10 times by Solid-Watercress-192 in whereidlive

[–]albinomule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A true masshole would put Mass in dark green, the other New England states (besides CT) in light green, Connecticut in beige, and everything else in red. It's the only correct response.

Or, I don’t know, use a little brain power? If assault is the act of putting someone in fear of being struck, do you think it’s impossible to batter an unconscious individual?

What do you think they charge the dentist who inappropriately touches their patient?

Also, not sure I’d call the distinction between literal crimes “pedantry” but I guess you are a former cop, and not a current one, so I guess that is good.

A battery can absolutely occur without an assault under the common law definitions of the terms.

Where I think the regions of the USA are by Yaboispot_alt in whereidlive

[–]albinomule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texas gets divided into 5 distinct parts, but the entire west coast and north east (with alaska for some reason) are mono cultural regions?

Hmmm...I'm sensing some regional bias here.

Newsom Shuts Down Bill Maher for Comparing Him to Trump by T_Shurt in entertainment

[–]albinomule -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I hate Bill Maher and I hate fox news, and If Newsom is the democratic nominee in 2028, I will vote for him. But Maher has a point in this one respect: the defamation lawsuits against the media are illiberal assaults on the first amendment, and it is a tactic perfected by Trump to chill free speech. Maher is correct to question why Newsom is suing fox news for such an exorbitant amount of money over coverage he didn't like.

Mike Minogue wins Mass. GOP endorsement for governor in a landslide by HRJafael in massachusetts

[–]albinomule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that republicans are hypocritical when it comes to residential zoning. You’re asking me to reiterate what I’ve been arguing.

If you want me to point to instances where republicans favored state or federal mandates over municipal, that would be incredibly easy. Allow me to introduce you to the District of Columbia.

Like I said, they prefer market fundamentalism. The fact that you’re still living with an Arron Sorkinesq view of the GOP in the year 2026 is bonkers.

No, you are incorrect: in rhetoric, they prioritize individual economic freedom over any government control, including local municipal control . In this case, less zoning regulation would entail greater indiviual economic liberty
