You mean "three lies", right? It's not so bad
Work with hands good. Need place, purpose
I was actually thinking about this wrt healthcare access earlier. I have a genuinely religious conviction against the intimate, personal details of my condition being processed by a machine and made available online. That is the business of myself and a professional caregiver, not a tech company and whatever "partners" they feel like sharing it with. You're supposed to be able to opt out, but practically that's almost never possible
Anyways I know it's in an entirely different field, but this felt like a hopeful precedent. Thanks for sharing :)
Or that comfort makes you tolerant. This would explain Florida's position of being relatively gay for how poor it is: mostly beach, pretty chill. Less need for a scapegoat I guess ;)
100%
Just osmosis I guess, never been near either one. I'm kinda bored with the regional rivalry thing, if you're interested I replied elsewhere in this same thread
I wouldn't go out of my way to construct a fearsome other to react to, but "to each their own". A slavering racist is a freakish anomaly, and you've got a lot more in common with even that guy than either of you do with any billionaire. The only thing that will get us anywhere is collective action and a sense of shared humanity, something you seem to be actively propagandizing against for whatever reason. Really don't love the "so you must be cool with nazis" angle, or much else about your violent, divisive schtick for that matter
I am happy for your cousins and didn't really mean to dunk on Delaware! It's a wide world and there are a lot of ways to live in it. My only perceptions are that it's expensive, densely populated, kinda boring, and a popular place to register corporations for tax reasons. Without getting too specific I'll say I'm in the "western states" and 20k is worth more than most houses anyone'll let me into. More a "mobile home behind on lot rent" kind of guy. Lot of great hiking, camping, hunting, etc though. Possibly a dumb question but can you collect firewood where you're at?
From this distance they almost blur into the same place. NYC would be ground zero for like, rats and pizza and graffiti and everything being really expensive and NJ kinda sounds like more of the same but less intense and with the Sopranos and beach boardwalks. Can you tell I've never been anywhere near either one? :p
I'm glad :) wouldn't say no if the opportunity presented itself, but think I'm more a national parks than quaint b&b type. Also it's really far!
"Buy a gun" is good advice. The whole framing where you're on a team vs other regular people and should be clutching one in fear is fucked. The second amendment exists to prevent a state monopoly on violence. Spreading that power as thinly as possible is the whole point. Worry about what police and military are consistently doing with theirs every day, not the 1:10000 chance of what your shittiest neighbor might do with his in your nightmares
