Each state voted on its innovation.
- JKCalhoun 1y agoHad to consult an LLM about Kansas. I'm going to go with Clyde Vernon Cessna, George Washington Carver or Walter Chrysler.
- hirvi74 1y agoDolly Parton is the only person of value to ever come out my state (TN).
- groundzeros2015 1y agoGrim take on your family and neighbors.
- hirvi74 1y agoIf you had some of knowledge and experiences I have had, I would hope you would agree with me. Things have gotten better over the years, but there is a lot of dark and grim history.
- groundzeros2015 1y agoI don’t want to psychologize too much but when people have tough upbringing and then find a community in adulthood they tend to invert the morals and values of their upbringing.
- skeeter2020 1y agoI mean you did essentially give us the atomic bomb?
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- IncreasePosts 1y agoCordell Hull, architect of the United Nations, who won a Nobel peace prize for his work, was from Tennessee.
- hirvi74 1y ago(Mods, I am sorry if this is getting off topic.) The KKK was founded in Pulaski, TN, which is about an hour from where I was raised. It wasn't until July, 2021 that the bust of the founder of the KKK (Nathan Bedford Forrest) was removed from the state capitol building. It's now been relocated to the 'TN State Museum' which was magically opened mere days after the bust was removed. I could provide countless more examples of things I have heard, read, and witnessed, but I am certain you do not need any more examples, and honestly, even thinking about it all really depresses me.
- IncreasePosts 1y agoHaving shitty people from your state doesn't also mean that there are no good people from your state
- sparrish 1y agoTennessee already had their coin in 2022. They featured the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)
- hirvi74 1y agoOh no way? TVA is great. I went to college down the road from their HQ, and they were the main source of internships for my comp sci program. My university had a strong cybersecurity program that was partly DoD funded, in which many graduates went on to perform cybersecurity roles for TVA. After all, power plants are often juicy targets.
- linguae 1y agoAl Gore and Elvis Presley are two prominent Tennesseans who immediately come to mind as a third-generation Californian. Don’t discount your state.
- hirvi74 1y agoOne neighbors growing up used to tell people to not believe any of the conspiracy theories about Elvis still being alive. He knew Elvis was dead because he was one of the paramedics to carry his body out of Graceland. (Elvis is also from Mississippi, btw)
