    My favorite Texas dig is: If you cut Alaska in half, Texas would be the third biggest state.

      Alaska: “We have the biggest state!”

      Texas: “How long does it take to drive across?”

      Alaska: “We wouldn’t know, we’ve never left Anchorage.”

        Alaska: our mountains are so huge, weather so severe, and land so vast, that mankind does not have the ability to build roads across our state. Come at me, Texas.

            As long as it doesn’t get too hot, or too cold… or to windy… Or wet… Come to think of it, a lot of stuff has managed to grind Texas to a halt lately.

                  Is it less geolocically stable than the one thats literally nothing but volcanoes and in the middle of the ring of fire?

    I live in California and I can buy weed at the weed store.

    Texans can’t.

    Californian women have protected human rights that Texan women don’t.

    So I guess my state has more freedom than Texas.

      We also have legal psychedelic mushrooms, at least where I am in Oakland.

      Also, I fucking hate cowboys. Had a layover in 2001 in Dallas. I couldn’t believe how many cowboy hats, boots, belt buckles. It was a clown show. I’ll never fly through Texas again.

        All hat, no cattle. Too much truck, not enough dick. Just like jacked up stupid trucks, it’s suburban men cosplaying. They’re imitating a culture they aren’t a part of and don’t understand.

      Not to defend Texas, but Alaska has waaaaaay more crime. At least if we’re talking about violent crimes. I wanted to move there once, but I decided against that based mostly on that factor. Approximately 8 in every 1000 people will commit a violent crime in Alaska. For reference, Texas is about 5.

          I’m talking about per population. Of course if there’s more people there’s more crime.

          Yes obviously.

          This is why I am curious about the relationship between the relative projected 2d surface area and actual 3d surface areas between the mentioned locations.
