That’s Texas…?
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 9 hours ago:
I spent 3 weeks in Thonotosassa in 2015, and Jesus Christ was downtown Tampa sad. It just was devoid of any culture or any reason to be down there. The Columbia Restaurant and Ybor Cory was fire though and made up for it a little bit; it just wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of the city being dreary.

Miami was never liberal. It was always a sort of libertarian with certain key issues like anti communism, pro masculinity, pro protectionism, pro small government. We saw them swing right in 2024, but if those were major issues in past elections, we would’ve seen a red Miami sooner. Miami is full of people that have an attitude problem imho.

Miami is Miami, St David is probably one of the safest cities in the country. It’s the Mormon college town home to Brigham university.

- Comment on What would happen to the US if it denaturalised and deported all non-whites? 2 days ago:
Truth is, if you’re not descended from the original colonists, every African American has lineage in the US farther back.
“White” in America is actually a moving goalpost that has been moving since literally the founding of the colonies. “Whites” today now comprise literally every fair skinned ethnic background that isn’t east Asian.i shit you not, I think Hispanics who are fair skinned will be the next group subsumed into the white category, followed by fair skinned East Asians. Based on the American definition of white, I, darker than some light skinned African Americans, am white. Middle Easterners are considered white.

This person is seriously underselling how expensive Teton county is. It’s literally millionaires and locals who are now millionaires, or locals who are so poor they only stick around to work in hospitality. Any given “pretty” image from Wyoming is most certainly taken in Teton county as they’ve said above.

I’m from the Boston area, lived in rural NH as well as in Lawrence:
If you move to Wyoming, you will regret it. It’s got the coldest weather in the country outside northern Alaska with killer wind chill worse than Minnesota. Yeah, 2 hours away from doctors sucks, but now imagine that in the winter, driving conditionsbeing the same thing as 495 after a snowstorm but constant. In retirement, for me, I don’t think it’s wise to fight against weather… I get that the city and hot weather isn’t for everyone, but if you’re looking for temperate weather that won’t kill you, look into Eureka, CA or Coos Bay, OR; those places are basically Boston springtime but all year round.
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 5 weeks ago:
Portal 1 & 2. Far too short.
- Comment on 'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events 5 weeks ago:
I assume California was the first to change
Nope, that designation goes to Massachusetts. First state to enact gay marriage and never had a prop 8 pass as late as 2008. California was a red state, redder than Florida is now, until very recently.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 1 month ago:
“Village” isn’t used anywhere in the USA as far as I know. Places with <500 people call themselves a town usually. Where I’m from in NH (close to these towns), residents call themselves townies. “Small” is kinda just used as a grammatical intensifier in all the cases I’ve heard it used. YMMV in the south or Midwest though.

Visit a AAA location and get an “international drivers permit”. It’s super easy and a good insurance policy for yourself. I highly doubt the police speak much English and aren’t corrupt, so it may save headaches. Also, watch out on neighborhood streets for potholes.

Yes, but that’s not typical for a high school dropout; he’s exceptional. Highschool dropouts are not super well read, as a demographic, either. I’m was not being hostile towards people who didn’t go to college.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Considering that critical thinking has to be thought to you, I think most people who skipped college may not have a good grasp on it.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
on Notion: aren’t the desktop clients just electron apps anyway? The website is really solid from my useage.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
KDE Connect was rock solid when I was testing it out with an S24u. The only real issue I had with it was that it was missing RCS (RCS is locked down to only proprietary google messages/iMessage systems) and a seamless way to go from desktop notification to SCRCPY/screen mirroring.
- Comment on Switch 2 game-key cards won’t be account- or console-locked 3 months ago:
How long do we reckon until they figure out the decryption keys and Switch 2 games become piratable on stock hardware?
- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 4 months ago:
I absolutely loved KH1/2 FM
- Comment on Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games 5 months ago:
to anyone reading this comment:
I strongly recommend going to this government website and checking out the superfund sites located in your area. If you live anywhere east of the Mississippi, your chances of living near or not far from an illegal dumping site are really high.

Apple thinks I’m a nerd (and they’re right) lol.
- Comment on The Greatest Cover Song of All Time? 6 months ago:
The Disturbed cover is so much better than the original that it makes the original sound like a bar cover.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 7 months ago:
Do you live in San Diego? It’s incredibly expensive to live there; that said, these pays are far to fucking high even for SD.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
My parents were mentally and physically abusive to me (CPS was called to our house multiple times and my father was on a registry with the state). I truly did not understand what was happening to me and my feelings until I was in my mid 20s. Deprogramming from abuse takes time.
I’m not suing you were abused or your situation is similar to mine, I’m just trying to illustrate that even when you logically look at things, your emotional feelings may not match up right away.
Best of luck to you.
- Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas? 7 months ago:
Gen Z men that fall for the machismo of “hustling” just can’t conceptualize the amount of financial difference between them and their idols. Get him something he can work towards making a hobby and hope that you can talk to him about why he thinks the way he does; listen and try to empathize and offer him an alternative solution to what he has forged for himself.
- Comment on Humble creating a bundle for this game is wild 7 months ago:
It’s utterly shocking that RS is still going… everything about the game has not aged well in any sense and yet there’s still 50K people who still play that trash at a time.
- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 8 months ago:
I’m a cis-bi man married to a cis-gay man: I had to tell him to sit his ass on the toilet to piss because the area around the toilet was constantly filthy. I cannot believe still to this day how difficult it was to convince him why it is a good idea to just sit down to piss. If you cannot control the stream direction and shape perfectly when you piss (spoiler alert, you cannot), then sit down where you can spray the toilet bowl.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 9 months ago:
I quit RuneScape in 2011ish after squeal of fortune introduced legacy loot. I’m sorry, but for a game that was all about 100% completion, making loot legacy and unobtainable if you didn’t gamble for it was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
- Comment on Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA? 10 months ago:
Doctors are not individual practitioners and cannot decide to go off on their own doing a procedure that they were not specifically trained to do (doctors are trained in procedures during their residency and in CTE). Unless they are offered a course in a new method, the hospital would not authorize them to perform that new procedure.
