Isn't this literally blazing a trail for the good of the whole?

I for one, am honored when someone walks in my snowshoe path and I'm always excited to be the one who has the privilege of marking the trail for what could be the whole winter, or at least till a thaw.

I feel like a super old timey Ethan Allen type dude laying down a trail for my fellow winter towns folk

best back story, the dude who owns the store was like a veteran of some war. if i'm remembering correctly he developed a thing for neat flags and realized it was hard to find alot of them so he started selling them from his wood stove store

but no they don't go together at all

I tried flag and stove works but was like low key pissed to see that they're made in china.

I have a VT state flag that was made in the USA. I just searched 'flags made in the USA' and got one. It was kinda expensive but the whole point of getting the flag was to be patriotic and I didn't feel right buying one from Xi.

I feel like I post this every day. There are about 6-7000 people of color spread out in the whole state. Most of whom are refugees and will not share your experience of being black in America or your culture. Many poc come here and find this frustrating for some reason, which has always baffled me but I’m dumb so who knows. That’s all to say there aren’t many spaces carved out exclusively as a poc or queer space. And as a queer myself I find the VT queer seen to be hyper cringe at least in Burlington. Remember the average age in Burlington is 26.

You can extrapolate from there. Idk, if you go to Finland expect to see mostly Fins doing Finnish things . If you come to Vermont expect to see mostly waspy white bois doing waspy white boi things (source: a waspy white boi)

if you're a leftist you should know the law. These proposals will fail under the Vermont constitution AND under the US constitution. The most recent court decision regarding 2nd amd was NY Rifle and Pistol ASSO where the court held that you have a constitutional right to carry out of the home. As such these proposals will have to fail. No different from passing trigger laws about abortion. They can be passed and enrolled on the books but not enforced, or worse if the states stupid enough to enforce them it'll get held illegal.

wtf none of those things go together and thinking they do is unhinged. Also I want our politicians to do everything in their power to maintain western hegemony, anyone who disagrees is an idiot. Do you want China running the global order? You talk like you love democracy but also talk like defending it is wrong... highly likely this is a rutland area take

Most of these proposals will fail constitutional muster. Gun nuts need to simmer down same as gun nut haters. This is a completely for show proposal that -even if it passes- will fail in the courts. The only possible enduring change this proposal advances is the duty to retreat which isn't AT ALL different from our current system of tort self defense except for you'll probably have to take a few steps back while saying 'hey stop ima shoot you idiot'.

Everyone settle down and stop acting stupid. You'd think fellow gun lovers would understand the law but i guess not. Which ngl makes me less inclined to let them be gun owners but thats not my decision.
