Most of Vermont and NH is nothing like this. I’ve lived there, near Brattleboro (which is literally on the border with NH), in the upper northeastern part of the state near NH in the middle of nowhere, and in Montpelier. I drove around VT and NH pretty extensively.

I also had a girlfriend that lived in Hanover, NH so was driving up there a lot; Hanover is admittedly unique in NH. I ski, MTB, hike, 4 wheel, snowmobile, hunt, and fish, so I’ve truly crawled around a large majority of the entirety of both states.

There are extremely rural locations in both states that look like many rural places anywhere in the United States – in fact, much nicer than many of the rural places in the US I’ve been down south and in the upper Midwest. I’ve literally never seen “piles of garbage” in front yards during the thousands of miles I’ve traveled around the states. I have seen trucks and ATVs being worked on in in various stages of disassembly in yards in the backwoods, but that’s how it is in the backwoods. You’re not exactly going to bring it to a mechanic.

That said, there is a very clear difference between NH and VT. While many parts of NH are quite nice, I would agree that there are some parts of NH that mildly fit your description. There are less places like that in VT, but I suppose if you looked hard enough, you’d find them.

But overall, your characterization doesn’t fit either of the states. They’re both beautiful New England states. I intend to move back to Vermont in the next few years because it’s so pleasant.

Where are you living in NH/VT? I find your descriptions completely bizarre.

Was a nobody. You’re literally reading about it on social media and news sites and having a conversation about it with strangers now.

He was a nobody and was writing things no one was reading.

Okee doke. Flood the zone with constant “what did Trump do now” worked so well in 2016. GRT has been in the news because of Trump since 2016. Look at the vertiginous rise in Ngrams in 2016. It’s just one of the many things he does to keep himself central in the news cycle.

No news is worse than bad news at this point in a presidential campaign. Especially when the “bad news” is the same stuff that didn’t turn around any of his voters in the past.

OH MY GOD. OK, thank you. I didn’t understand that. Much funnier now. And then he misses the actually request because he’s screwing around. It makes way more sense now lol

But why just that one? You’d think they’d replace it. Makes it look purposeful, like they were trying out a new funny font.

It’s cool, that works. He downvoted it, so I guess it served its purpose. 😄

Well. He did lose weight, allegedly from Ozempic and Adderall, but that does seem like a pretty flattering picture. And his thumbs are double jointed/flexible. You can see it all the time when he plays his invisible accordion.

But he’s been asked to actually do something for once!

I don’t get this one. Or maybe I do and I just find it less funny than usual? Is the joke that he’s just messing around? I feel like in these comics he’s usually so excited to get to do something, this seems out of character.

Ok but fr what is going on there

Why are white people so worried about being a minority in the US? Are minorities treated poorly or something?

Wait. Cmon dude. Trump says “fight” and people scream stochastic terrorism, this guy says you’re free to kill Trump if you’re not a coward and you’re like “naw, that’s just poetic license?” Don’t be obtuse.

Hmm… pretty watertight. Like your butthole.

I live in a state with very loose gun laws and a high percentage of gun ownership, and I started learning how to identify where people “print” on their bodies and identifying people concealed carrying. Then I started googling random stickers I would see on cars in front of me at drive thrus or just walking around.

I was honestly shocked at how many people are, or are likely, carrying a pistol. And how many people advertise it with their choice of clothes, brands, bumper stickers, etc. Once you start seeing it, it’s everywhere.

The most obvious ones are the ones that basically buy all the “grey man” clothes. They scream “I’M ARMED, LOOK AT ALL THE ALMOST NORMAL LOOKING, NON-DESCRIPT TACTICAL CLOTHING I’M WEARING.” 🤣

Like sure, dude, you’re just a guy with a beard and an over-curled hat brim that “happens” to like wearing a fanny pack with your cargo shorts.

I was at Target buying bar soap and they sell a “tactical” shower caddy where you can put your manly, camo loofah and your body beating beast bar soap. At Target! I’ll tell you what, a camo loofah ain’t communicating what they think it is lol

Depends. Was their fringe on the flag at the post office where you contracted? Admiralty law can be confusing, but I hope you paid with a bill of exchange. Did you capitalize all the letters of your name? That is your corporate shell entity not you. Perhaps we should talk this through to be sure you properly utilized negative averment and truth language. This all assumes you’ve already issued your UCC-1 statement of course.

My guess is you’re talking to a middle-aged white guy with a white-collar job, probably in something related to IT, web development, or something similar who has parents that are likely doing fine.

Being confused as to why it would seem natural for you to help your family if they need you and you can do it really says a lot about his own “cultural tendencies” and privilege.
