I rage a lot at the state government. But I’m financially well off, don’t have kids to raise in this shit school system, and can pretty well do what I want with my life. I’d still rage in California, I’d just have a lot less money doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen white dudes open carry at the grocery store but other than that nothing feels different than when I lived in CA. If i could afford to live at the beach in CA I’d get the fuck up outta here in two seconds. But my mortgage is $1500 a month on a 2300 sq ft house, so guess I’m dying here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly only think of one time I’ve seen someone open carry in my current city. In over a decade. Not surprisingly it was at Walmart. 3 hours ago, Keyser_Soze said: Plus you live so close to Mt. Nebo, who would want to give that up to live in some hot city with a bunch of bums pooping on the street? It’s been years since I visited Mt Nebo. There are some awesome parks along the Arkansas River Trail system near my house and that’s pretty sweet. I think I’ve said it before but my husband’s best friend lived out in Silicon Valley when working at Apple, Reddit, then Airbnb and he hated it. Said homeless people shit everywhere. He retired a couple years ago, had a place on the outskirts of Fayetteville on 30 acres and is happy. And he’s not a redneck or typical Arkansan. He’s a liberal vegetarian hippie eccentric with long hair and a long beard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFKAK Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Not down in Silicon Valley, I’ve never seen anything like that there and spent a fair amount of time in San Mateo, Palo Alto, Red Wood City etc. SF sure in certain neighborhoods like TL, Mission, Haight but it’s not nearly to the level everyone thinks it is, fiancés bday was spent in the mission district and didn’t see any of that on the streets actually. Also this message sent from work where I’m wearing Pride symbols on my uniform and have already made year to date 2.5 more than my best grossing year in Baltimore and we’re the same profession.

I can wear Pride symbols at work, too. And im probably doing as well as you are when adjusted for cost of living. I have no mortgage, no other debts, I afford what I want and I’m on track for early retirement. I’m socking away money left and right in retirement and investments.

Hide contents Life here in the bay is unlike anywhere I’ve lived/was stationed at was my point. Not to mention PRIDE here is fucking wild and the rest of the year is like PRIDE events in other cities. Tech bros are known to be that of course but that’s not representative of the entirety of the bay either, saying the peninsula is the most boring place tells me you’ve never lived in Kentucky 😂. That place had me longing to take a ricochet at the range. I prefer the east bay to Silicon Valley but still enjoy the south with that said. I live a normal suburban life/non competitive bodybuilder life now but I know I just need to go to North Beach for crazy shit to happen; at least in the kink life. North bay just for the bored trophy wives made it my favorite place in the bay; that’s where I met the woman I had to sign an NDA for etc but otherwise way too many of “those rich people.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 The conversations now are in Biden's favor it seems.

Americans have short attention spans. Dems have no strategy or planning or discipline when it comes to politics and like to hear themselves talk so they keep things in the news that they would better off if they just shrugged it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblfilms Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Time is Biden’s friend, because indeed, our collective attention span is short. It’s why Biden should forego any more debates. That is a bad format for him, and the most likely place for him to really stumble. On the topic of regional differences…I honestly have found much more sameness across major American cities than differences, no matter their location. I can understand preferences for the particular differences though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got killed on that. They thought I was rambling. I’m not rambling. … “We can’t get the boat to float. The battery is so heavy. So then I start talking about asking questions. You know, I have an, I had an uncle who was a great professor at MIT for many years, long, I think the longest tenure ever. Very smart, had three different degrees and, you know, so I have an aptitude for things. You know, there is such a thing as an aptitude. “I said, ‘Well, what would happen if this boat is so heavy and started to sink and you’re on the top of the boat. Do you get electrocuted or not?’ In other words, the boat is going down and you’re on the top, will the electric currents flow through the water and wipe you out? “And let’s say there’s a shark about 10 yards over there. Would I have to immediately abandon, or could I ride the electric down? And he said, ‘Sir, nobody’s ever asked us that question. But sir, I don’t know.’ I said, ‘Well, I want to know, because I guarantee you one thing, I don’t care what happens. I’m staying with the electric, I’m not getting over with it.’ “So I tell that story. And the fake news they go, ‘he told this crazy story with electric.’ It’s actually not crazy. It’s sort of a smart story, right? Sort of like, you know, it’s like the snake, it’s a smart when you, you figure what you’re leaving in, right? You’re bringing it in the, you know, the snake, right?

I'm seeing and reading a ton lately since being more active here and I now see how bad Trump really is. He must be stopped.
