Google maps caps the number of pins
but this is my area, maxed the fuck out in a tiny radius
meanwhile your island
has almost none
The closest one to me is strictly a clothing place
who thought to name your island's college
"cuny"
City University of New York
It's a collection of colleges ran by the city
i also will never get over all your public schools just being numbers
that is one typo off from cunt
it's equally retarded
and one letter off from cunny
At least the high schools have names
Fire, if you didnt't know
in NYC
They probably have internal numbers too but
you'll say "I go to school #26"
"no way, I go to school #41"
I went to ps26 for half of 4th grade and half of 3rd grade
like that
and they think that's normal
Then I went to a catholic school
Then I went to IS 72 for all three years of middle school
that is actually really interesting
So the schools do technically have names
and incredibly depressing
But people more often refer to them by the number
Fire learning how to find Vinny
LEg, does Chicago do that too?
Fire already knows where I live
I thought that was just a NYC thing
schools being numbered?
i "know" as in i knew once and forgot
technically there are numbers but they are never used
ok, thank God
I find it REALLY dehuminizing
I'm glad it's just a NYC thing
I've been to three numbered schools, ps127 in brooklyn, ps26 and is 72 here on staten island
my high school's official name was Community High School District <number>
In Virginia, they're almost all named after the region, or famous (Virginian) people
the unofficial names are all based on region
Is72 was named after some random police officer
dutch schools are just named after great scientists or artists
Never found out what he did to make them name the school after him
plenty of dutch great people to choose from
Virginia runs the gambit, we have a LOT of famous people
since we founded the USA
but there are plenty of writers, inventors, poets, etc. as well
and then we have all the confederates
founded the USA and the CSA
the south should rise again
Confederate names are mostly limited to those who helped with reconstruction (which was most of them)
The few who tried to keep fighting, are blackballed pretty hard
That makes sense
People not from VA, don't understand our history
so all the transplants want to whitewash our history because DATS RAYCIST
But I would struggle to find a better state who understands, then the state where the entire fucking war was fought
I think it's also the reason we have the best gun laws in the country
yeah you guys used the second ammendment to opposed the government
to make it illegal to ever free the slaves
there wasn't a second amendment the first time
I'm reading through our founding document (1628)
I found the 3rd amendment
it's really hard to read
yeah, guess not
And in the eight-and-twentieth year of the reign of King Edward III, it was declared and enacted by authority of parliament, that no man, of what estate or condition that he be, should be put out of his land or tenements, nor taken, nor imprisoned, nor disinherited nor put to death without being brought to answer by due process of law.This is as close as it gets
there's some militia talk, but it's all as an irregular force in the royal army
whoops
