@mertcentury There's something unsettling about visiting a friend in one of these. You park in the guest spots at the edge of the complex and wander around in the hot sun while they try to guide you over the phone and it takes twice as long due to the total lack of unique landmarks
@nadnerbus@skitten_hund@TheLaurenChen Our country's bipartisan deindustrialization led to consolidation among the remaining corporate owners that shafted a lot of single-industry towns.
Oregon still enjoys a lucrative fishing industry out of Newport where fisheries consolidated thru the 20th century.
@skitten_hund Your last post is you desperately claiming Irish heritage while people that actually live there make fun of you for being a white trash "homesteader."
Do you have a humiliation fetish? This is genuinely embarrassing
@skitten_hund@TheLaurenChen What rural tax money? Again, you seem to think the 3 vape shops + strip mall making up the "economy" wherever you live are putting up the kind of revenue it takes to sustain you parasites.
@skitten_hund@TheLaurenChen "our tax dollars keep going to the place where all the people live instead of improving the lives of 5,000 obese racists in Jackson county" lmao it's gonna get so much worse for you! Give it time :)
@ixmaninc@TheLaurenChen Tomorrow I'll wake up in one of the most beautiful parts of the country and you'll wake up in the obesity capital of the world.
@skitten_hund@TheLaurenChen Okay, we're the only reason you have roads, broadband, schools, and electricity.
Farmers produce something and enjoy generous subsidies, you produce tweets and soak up my tax dollars to play pretend in the woods. You're welcome!
@skitten_hund@TheLaurenChen All this rugged individualism kinda falls flat when your entire existence is subsidized by normal people in Portland, Eugene, Bend, and Salem. We're the only reason you have running water lmao
@ixmaninc@TheLaurenChen -conservatism is a deregulatory project
-people take advantage of the deregulatory business environment and ruin the natural environment
-you end up with a state full of big wide suburbs for big wide people
-you make it our problem that your home is as ugly and hollow as you are
@detroitsux Your entire political project is a tacky deregulatory free-for-all. Look at the places you live! Flat ugly texas suburbs and dying strip malls. You got the exact home you wanted and you still think you deserve ours lol.
@YoBoySlugger I agree the Robin Hood larp is totally disingenuous but I still want to see this happen lol. PC owners get EVERY R* release spoiled for them bc Take Two arbitrarily holds back the (likely finished) PC version to pad their quarterly earnings. Let that strategy backfire for once!
@FrontRowBrian Insane to say this about Vegas.
Vegas hospitality gigs were coveted once upon a time. Great base pay + tips. Then owners got greedy and allowed wages to stagnate while jacking up prices (causing tips to dry up in the process). Hospitality unions are a direct response to this.
@juegosnoguey I wouldn't attack him with the fervor a lot of people are bringing to this but there are areas he's fumbling. He can absolutely choose not to give public money to these bad-faith 'antisemitism awareness' groups! They'll back his next mayoral opponent no matter what he does.
@puppycelebrity It's more "realistic" to what you'd expect of a commercial metal station that actually airs on the radio, but I genuinely can't tell if they're being intentional in that way.
