My girlfriend and I saw this with my parents. It was… awkward.

(The show is amazing tho)

I love* how — in true stupid fashion — they’re naming things after America, which isn’t even the country’s name. We’re the United States of America, just one of several countries located on the North American continental plate.

That said in answer to your question that is a tough one because there are so many unrelated language families in NA. I’d probably pick something either Algonkian or iriquoian. Nituskeenan means “our land” in Cree, for example, and sounds kinda cool.

* I do not love this.

I tend to take a credo quia absurdum approach to a lot of these arguments. If there are omniscient/omnipotent beings they would have to be, by definition, beyond our ability to understand. So it’s ridiculous to think that despite that some group of people would figure out exactly the right rules by which these things would want us to behave.

Be a good person. Help others. Pay it forward. And regardless of whether there are gods or not, you will have done your small part to make the world a bit better.

I only tried on a few times (there was always that one kid in the neighborhood), and just remember my whole forearm and hand getting super sweaty after a few minutes. That and it taking like 10 minutes to do the program code anytime you started a new game. Still tho, it looked like the future.

Another potential pro if you’re in a shitty state: if I had to guess, there’s less of a chance of “accidentally” being removed from voter rolls if you’re registered R.

The big con, tho, is that it will be impossible to move the Overton window left if everyone did this, because establishment Democrats would always win.
