    These welfare queen red states would turn into Somalia in short order. If I can't make it back to a blue state before the borders close I'm going to fucking kill myself.

          I won't be alive to see it if it comes to that, so that doesn't concern me. But sure, the rest of the U.S is kinda sorta worth saving, I guess. Maybe.

              Split it along the time zones instead. Less states and simpler administration. Washington DC can be its own time zone just to mess with people.

                Linux isn't derived from Unix, just originally based on it. The BSDs and Darwin (Mac) would be the unfortunate casualties, but at least most of the country won't be stuck with Windows?

                Edit: And, I guess, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4/5. The former "borrowed" the networking stack from OpenBSD, and the latter are based on some BSD variant if I recall correctly.

                  We’ll smuggle you out.

                  I feel like any major restructure like that would require some sort of open border policy, even if temporary, simply because people have never had any reason to not move..? And if we Balkanize with closed borders from go, well that’s for sure going to cause conflict.

                        I like how the map shows the curvature of the north border (49th parallel), meaning all these lines bulge north in the middle.

                                Believe it or not, those two terms are used interchangably and somehow no one gets confused. A continent AND a country can both have the same name without the world ending.

                                  “America” is a shortened name for “United States of America,” in addition to the name of the continent. It can be both, you know.

                                    I think “America” implies a hierarchy, dominance, and soothes their egos though

                                      Yup. They misappropriated a continent's name to feel more important. Otherwise they would feel smaller than Australia presumably.
