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 don’t remember which forum I was on, but it was around the late 2000s. Me and some people were joking around, the subject of wrestling came up, someone asked what Triple H’s name stood for, so a bunch of us started making fake answers. I really like one that I said, so I just made it my user name. Haven’t really felt the need to change it since.

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 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.

So if I want my freedoms as a gay man I should just move? Rather than us just being better? It’s cool to praise the US and our freedoms, but the second we see the opposite we just tell people to leave, and yet we are supposed to be the good guys? Lol

Yeah, I never took it as preferential treatment or anything. Part of it is just that I used Boost for Reddit, so a part of me wants thinks it would be cool to continue to support them. I’ll probably just stick here though. I’m sure eventually someone will make an app.

I’ve used Boost for reddit, and I’m on KBin, but it looks like between this and most of the other apps focusing on Lemmy, I might just switch over.

5 rich people sign a paper saying it’s cool if they die in a shitty submarine, they do, and we spent millions trying to find them.

But people actually need help and we could improve our society and economy in numerous ways, and we can’t do that.

I hate this place so God damn much.

That’s what I keep thinking. Like on one hand, watching Musk get beat up sounds entertaining. On the other hand, it’s a publicity stunt and feels like the next step towards Idiocracy.

And many many more think you’re a bigot.

And what would have been really sad about this is that I would bet a sizable portion of the peoplepwho donated are people who could use that help. But they got conned. Again.
