She was smiling, laughing and overall looking so fucking pleased with herself during her loser speech.

She always finds new ways to make me sick.

Welcome back, certified pogchamp.

For sure, if it weren't for the money, I would have high tailed it out of here years ago.

Same with Florida, and they can't blame all of it on chuds moving here. I doubt the numbers would add up.

Democrats need to come to terms with the fact that they completely disenfranchised the working class, but they won't.

Do you have orgs near you? Hell, even the DSA. Just somewhere you can start making in person leftist friends.

Even if you don't manage to move out of state, it can really help your sanity.

Oh, I agree about Vermont being wonderful, I used to fantasize about that state back when I believed in Bernie. But last time I checked the housing market there, it wasn't a matter of housing being too expensive, but literally nothing being on the market.

Admittedly, last time I checked was around covid. Now I'm checking Zillow and seeing roughly 2.3k units for sale across the entire state, which isn't great, but at least moving there is possible again. Out of those units, roughly.... 200ish are kind of affordable to the average single income household. If you're not picky about being near a big city, it's doable.

It sounds like you need to travel with more people, especially if the area you're moving to is more expensive than your current place.

Personally, my plan has been taking so long because I needed to guarantee that at least one other person I could trust would move out of state with me and split rent for at least one lease. Well now I have a partner, and we might even have extra friends that want in on the move. The more people to split risks and costs with, the better, and we'll have over a year to finalize details and make sure that at least half of us can get either out of state jobs or fully online jobs.

Either that or you'll have to find someone that already lives in an area you like and is willing to take a chance on you, either as a roommate or more reliably as a partner. But that comes with its own risks.

I heard Vermont is one of the most difficult states to move to if you're not already a multimillionaire. All housing is extra scarce there, even rentals. Much less affordable housing.

But if there's a real path with farming or a large group of people all contributing, then go for it.

Libs got so cocky that they voted no to eliminating slavery in California.

Don't believe me? Look up prop 6, it wasn't even a close vote. America deserves Trump.

I'll prioritize blood work before I make the decision, thank you.

I genuinely thought weed would do better than abortion, too. I guess some libs swallowed the copaganda about it.

What's your general plan for getting out?

 

I'm seriously thinking about skipping health insurance another year to help with saving. Do you think that will be more expensive in the long run? I don't have any major health problems, but I also haven't visited a general practitioner in like a decade so there could be something hiding. Every decision is such a huge gamble in this fucking country. I hate it here but my job and degree aren't in demand internationally, and I'm not willing to marry an internet stranger overseas (I'm already taken anyways) so if I can't leave the country I can at least move to a state that chuds aren't swarming to with each passing year.

(This isn't because Harris lost, I'm not a fucking lib. It's because the abortion amendment failed despite 57% approval. I'm just an object here. I've actually been planning it out for a couple of years now, but this was the final straw.)

 

I've been restless lately and have been getting nostalgic for minecraft. I booted it up this weekend on single player and all it made me do was miss the old Hexbear server. The train one was a bit too complicated, but that one where we built a huge city? That was pretty nice.

T-There wouldn't be interest in bringing it back, would there? I promise I won't build another ice race track in the sky that ruins the view, really. shy
