@ramit I was just in Portland, OR. Seems like highish housing prices, but lower than CA, plus no sales tax, surprisingly mid traffic, multimodal transit options, and amazing food that costs what a low end restaurant in CA charges. Clearly all policy choices.

@WasephVoxx What a combo. MURIKA.

@RoguesPhilo @DamonZumbroegel There's no such thing as bad marketing, hopefully?

@OldHollowTree @nealjclark1 @shagbark_hick sounds like he needs a project. "No jobs" has been a complaint about his ideation of resettling an old town. Perfect solution.

@shagbark_hick Look at all those amenities: water, electricity, WIFI???? It's lower end glamping!

I know it says "Tent", but since when does a tent spot have a "sewer hookup"? 😂

@Olympics Watching South Korea vs Czechia, how come we have all this passivity in epee and not in the World Cup? Boooooringggggg 😵

Need more P. Red in football to make the players move 🙏🙏🙏

@shagbark_hick I feel like you posted some bangers and fought the good fight during that time, though. I gained respect for you and I'm sure some people learned from your shared experience.

Which airline is going to let me walk straight off the plane first if all I have is a bag under the seat?

[Brendan Heisler🧢 @hei_br]

@shagbark_hick This is the same category of situation I'm in right now. I quit my job with enough resources to make my way for a while basically anywhere I want. Not sure this area is best fit for me. However, I'm still here because of this class I run that means too much to leave yet.

@KeturahAbigail Very interested to hear how you ended up in a Seventh Day Adventist church and your thoughts on the service.

@Fwd_Party Ban districting, use a proportional representation system?

@patio11 @paulg TabsOutliner extension saved me on this front tbh.

@TisTireless @liminal_warmth Exactly. I bought it while watching someone play the magic-free run thinking that that was too wild, but that the magic would be satisfying. It WAS satisfying, but now the magic-free run seems like a fun and relaxing multi-day grind 😂

@TisTireless @liminal_warmth Came here to say this

Always, you do it because it's CHEAPER.
And cheaper means you need less money.
Which means you're less RELIANT on earning and all that goes with it.

Spend less, need less, work less = "time rich," free to do as you like.

"Difficult" is the price you pay for "freedom." Always.

@OldHollowTree Nice shaggy 🙏

[Brendan Heisler🧢 @hei_br]

@shagbark_hick @MatthiasReedV Yeah, if you're bagging $4k per month aren't you way above the line for that stuff? 😂 I see the joke, but also you already built the skill to effortlessly, even accidentally, make too much for welfare 😂😂

@CharlesMullins2 @fchollet Dang, I was gonna come in here going "obvi self-development/self-discovery /s" but this was a much better answer.

[Brendan Heisler🧢 @hei_br]

@TiredActor Also your recent communications about having to postpone stream were so on-point. Kind to self, taking others into consideration. Made me think "wish I learned how to say that earlier."

[Brendan Heisler🧢 @hei_br]

@TiredActor You nailed it! As a fellow chronic-illness-haver (rheumatoid arthritis) I agree definitely the hardest thing is understanding that the limitation is real. Accepting "this is as much as I can do even if I can imagine doing more" is hard, but necessary if we want any consistency.

Sorry for the long video, but here’s an update on how I am
