@FirstClassDuck Also for the actual high earners working remotely in those places, it follows that their employers have decided that they are more effective while happy living in a big house in a small safe city than they are fighting for limited luxury and safety in a HCOL tech hub.
@Coleidoscopes There is a guy who sometime just drives his loud ass truck into my neighborhood at 6am, turns around and drives right out again. Doesn't stop or pick anyone up. Literally just does it to make noise. No officer I didn't see anything.
@danielgothits I live somewhere like this. Most new buyers are actually young kids whose rich parents bought the house for them. They have one kid and then mommy and daddy buy them a bigger house when the second kid comes, and a new set of trust fund kids move in.
@PatrickHeizer Honestly I'd call them whatever they want to be called. Taking someone who is sterile and will not go through female puberty and declaring them a woman can be pretty cruel.
@shagbark_hick@nealjclark1 You spend time in low rent places with low rent people, low rent things are going to happen. I think a lot of people control where they spend time to avoid this stuff without realizing it.
@lambo_larry_@TheEXECUTlONER_ First runner should have never ended up at that base. The way I played as a kid, he would be called out on principle for not running even without any tag, or forced to run after the out at first.
@Arcmosis Datacenter jobs aren't even the good jobs. You'll have some giant building and there's like 40 people working there all making around 100k, and most of them will be transplants rather than local hires. Meanwhile devs at the SF HQ make $500k.
@oliveegger I went to Catholic school. There was a strong culture of bullying kids who didn't perform well academically. You either did well or you failed socially. The bad boy flunk out or dumb jock archetypes didn't really exist.
@RoguesPhilo@AlfonsoFrfr Humans are the only animals on the planet with the olfactory receptors needed to smell cooking meat. They took millions of years to develop. We've been cooking meat since before we were humans.
