And it's gonna suck for most of us in a lot of ways. Like I moved up north partially because of politics back in 2014. Now some are eventually gonna follow and move up here as well. Plus, I can't afford a house. A lot of people can't afford one. But when more and more people come, we won't have enough. Unless we see some real, meaningful changes in the way we handle housing, it's gonna be a shit show.

I was talking to my mom back in I think 2020 and the subject of the cost of a home came up. I told her how much they are here, and she said me and my boyfriend should move near her and some other family in St Louis. While I would love to be near family, I'm gay. I'm not moving to a red state. And I'm not looking to buy a house I will eventually need to abandon with no one buying it. That's a lot of money to just lose.

I play games for the games. I might have a preference on the type of TV and shit, but that's all personal preference. If the game is good, it's good on either one.

I might check this one out later. I usually use audiobookbay, but half the links are dead if it's more than 5 months old. And i keep forgetting to try and log in at the right time for Myanonymouse.

My boyfriend only has a year left of nursing school. With so many countries having a shortage, we are thinking that might help us. Like apperantly in Japan they have a program to get people in for nursing and you can buy a house for cheap. But I'm not sure if I want to love in Japan. About 3-4 months ago I actually had some people from Australia on reddit giving me a lot of good info to help us get over there, and one person was talking to me about New Zealand.

So here's to hoping. I'm gonna miss my family and friends. It's gonna be hard, but I'm tired of this place.

I 100% beleive this is Musks way of getting out of the fight. He either didn't expect it to happen, or didn't know Zuck could fight.

So you have fascist Republicans on the far right

And somewhat fascist democrats who are right of center

Guess as a leftist I'm good then. Seems to me like we have a right wing problem. But even then, only one of the parties is pushing for genocide

Even better. Shit in their box. Assert dominance.

Yup. It's the same affect as with a lot of other things. Like when I see someone say "Think of the children." Sounds great, and we should be thinking of the children. But I usually don't see it used by people who want to actually protect children.

Yup. This was it for me. Ordered a burger from a no name local place. It came in a Red Robin bag and container. Apperantly they gave no fucks. Since then if I found a place, and it turned out to be real, I just marked it with the heart. Anything not marked it either a big name chain restaurant, or it's suspect. Especially since we also know about ghost kitchens where it's one place posted under at least 10 different restaurants.

Edit: Just for shits and giggles, I just loaded up the app. First place I didn't recognize I checked and Google shows it in the middle of an industrial complex. No restaurant signs anywhere to show where it's at.

Then I saw "the burger den", which another person said is Dennys. Google maps takes it to Dennys

Apperantly kids are cheaper than I thought

I also feel like it's become more right wing. Or at least now that some people have left, the balance has shifted further to the right. I went on yesterday, and r/WhitePeopleTwitter, a fairly left wing sub, is now having a lot of Republicans. Really killed my desire to go back. It was something I know a lot of people predicted would happen, but still sad in a way to see.

Edit: Also the fact that the main niche subs I went to are dead. They used to be pretty active, but since they reopened, a lot of users were not happy. So now it's a post every few days. I think one of the subs just got completely deleted. Sadly they're not as active here.

I missed it. Like I was around, but I don't know what started it. Just logged on one morning and learned I wasn't allowed to shit for 3 days.
