  • As someone who moved from a deep blue state to a similar deep red state: it starts as a way to stand out as “one of the good ones”. People pick up quickly that you aren’t from around, and once they learn that you’re from a “commie state” you’re cooked. But also, some people move with an idealized view of conservative areas, and if they’re still having problems it’s only because conservatives haven’t conserved enough.

    I’m lucky I moved for school and could settle in with similar minded folks, otherwise I would have needed to move much sooner lol


  • For some reason Lady and the Tramp reminded my mother of The King and I. So I had to watch both in the same week for the first time, and it was a very weird experience lol

    Edit: I just looked them up and they were made four years apart! I assumed the Disney movie was made in the 80s because I saw it in the 90s lol


  • Oh, definitely. It would probably be irresponsible to not monitor his media unofficially. It’s the way he is acting like this is an official method of open communication to mediate between governments that’s ridiculous to me. Maybe I’ve forgotten how things were before Twitter shut his account down, but I’m still amazed he doesn’t have people who can get him to understand how bad this is

















  • I make significantly less at 100% rating than I would if I had been able to stay in my career since I was medically separated or if I was able to do the same thing as a civilian (easily over 6 figures). It’s still much more than poverty level, but the $46k I’ll get this year just can not compete with what I could have had.

    I know that much of the value in my benefits is free medical though, and that adds up fast when you suddenly have pronounced weakness in half your body and doctors can’t figure out why
