I drove through South Dakota once. It appeared to be pretty much just as boring as the rest of the prairies, but no worse (until we got to the Badlands. Now holy sh-t that's weird and beautiful.)

Is NoDak really significantly different from SoDak?

Wait, there's a North Dakota AND a South Dakota? I thought it was just one big state. (c) Christopher Guest

No. The badlands are less... good? Less bad? They aren't as neat.

NoDak has its own Badlands, but outside of that are you can see the world’s curvature at about 500ft altitude in a Cessna.

Kansas. Seems reasonable.

The measure that would block doctors from providing trans teens puberty blockers, etc in South Dakota was soundly killed 5-2 in committee. Furthermore, it was postponed the 41st legislative day, meaning it's effectively dead. Good job, people! This is where activism works!

Basically, everyone called saying "don't." The committee chair's office was inundated with calls, and to have it die 5-2... f yeah! Now to stop similar bills in Colorado, Florida, etc. Read somewhere there are over 200+ anti-LGBT bills in state legislatures right now, and a huge chunk of them are anti-trans.

In all of OR, as of 2000, it was illegal to pump your own gas. Apparently some rural eastern counties now have a waiver.

It's a great scam, also enjoyed by NJ and apparently maybe soon IL. Whenever some drunken Dumpy moron lights himself on fire at the pump the church-going-women-with-their-hate-pinched-faces stop worrying about Tide Pods and start campaigning to prevent "not specially trained and licensed professionals" from pumping gas, cuz it's dangerous dontcha know.

Can confirm as of ~2015. You can’t even get out of your car. It’s very weird.

Yep, first time I got out of my car by habit the attendant froze like he expected me to start spraying bullets. And I knew born and bred Oregonians who were terrified of pumping gas and thought of it as What Is This Sorcery?

It's a funny Bumpkin thing that you'd expect in, I dunno, Iowa.

In Jersey it's a pure con to bump prices. Everybody in NJ spends half their life in NY anyway so they all know how to pump gas. Then again, what they see of NY is places with 6-inch thick bulletproof glass and a lazy susan where you put your money and spin it and the guy gives you your change and spins it, so they are very happy to stay in their vehicles.
