Thomas Campbell’s 1809 poem, Gertrude of Wyoming, helped popularize the name in the context of the Wyoming Valley.

Yeah, maybe read up and learn some history.

The Wyoming that Campbell described is a verdant valley bisected by the Susquehanna River in what is now northeastern Pennsylvania. In the mid 1700’s, the colony of Connecticut claimed it, citing a conveyance by King James the First under the great seal of England dated November 3, 1620. At the same time, the Six Nations Indian tribes—the Iroquois—claimed they owned the Wyoming valley, though it was mostly occupied by Delaware and other peoples pushed out of other places, who were sometimes allies of the Iroquois, and sometimes not.

Who has a coat rack in their shower?

Sure. Whatever you say.

Why? Because some coward on the internet who’s all talk made a baseless accusation?

I’m not really worried what you think.

Interesting how everyone who questions you gets labeled a “magat”.

Wyoming is a Lenape word. The Lenape were also known as the Delaware Indians so it’s named from their word which means “on the great plain”.

Hey mods, how many of us do they get to kill before you will let us talk about killing them?

Are you just talk? You want to advocate for others to do what you won’t?

They say actions speak louder than words so, hop to it. The rest of us will be right behind you…

Ah, ok. I thought maybe it was the way my app displayed it.

Would be a nice feature if that was optional or turned off.

We were worried we wouldn’t see any this year. The house across the street sold and the new owners cleaned up the backyard which had been great wing wild for years.

Fortunately we still see tons! We removed our grass in the front and replaced it with Dutch clover so I’m thinking that might be why. I also have our lights set to go off at 10pm.

At first I thought you had a flat top grill in your kitchen. Had to zoom in.

No idea but there are still far too many Americans that support the current government and their actions.

Do thumbnails of YouTube videos not show in regular Lemmy?

No. Some Americans still haven’t learned their lesson.

The same people who enjoy soap operas and over the top dramas.

I don’t even know why I’m engaging with you. I just realized you’re not who I responded to originally.

If you post your anecdotal experience about a hunting cabin and then go on to argue against exemptions to a tax targeted at real estate hoarders you’re as dumb as the person I did reply to originally.

I didn’t say progressive taxes are authoritarian. Your suggestion is. Applying a blanket tax without regard to impact or circumstance is authoritarian and the kind of thing a dictator would do.

It’s un-democratic.

I don’t especially think an exception clause is reasonable, I believe they will just be abused.

This is in effect no different than saying the tax shouldn’t be implemented because it might unfairly impact certain people, like 5 families sharing a hunting cabin.

If your goal is mental masturbation then it doesn’t matter but if you are talking real world, practical solutions yours doesn’t work.

You’re not who I replied to so none of what you said applies to my original comment.

Makes sense for constitutional carry states. I’d imagine in other permit states, like Minnesota, it’s governed by the laws around permitting and carrying since they are applying restrictions rather than legalizing something that is otherwise illegal.

I’m not aware of any law in Minnesota that makes this illegal but most of the protests here start, end or are entirely on state/federal government property where it is illegal to carry.

I thought it was a serious suggestion but your solution is impractical and authoritarian.
