Yeah they're going to start rolling out 1gbps connections for the whole city in the next year or two.

The minimum wage will be the same as California's at the end of January and we have almost the lowest unemployment in the country.

The weather is a lot nicer in California though.

Colorado is putting flyover states on the map. I grew up there when it was quite conservative and it was pretty cool then too. The weed thing is a nice bonus to spending Christmas with the family. :coal:

This isn't actually true, I recall reading a couple studies referenced by a John hopkins dude where there was a huge chunk of people who regretted it and many who initially thought transgenderism was the silver bullet to their underlying psychological issues got better and decided they weren't transgender with just regular old therapy.

I'm not saying GID isn't an actual thing that exists for some people, but it's not transphobic to point out it's become somewhat of a fad among certain groups and the current rate of people claiming to have gid does not at all even remotely match up with medical estimates of the actual prevalence in a population which is less than 0.01%.

I mean if you don't live in a big city where you ignore all the "culture' and either stay in and watch netflix or go to bars with your friends like everyone else does in smaller cities then there's actually plenty of affordable and nice places. Dating is about the only thing that normal people do with any regularity that's easier in a bigger city and even then depending on the area there can be a huge gender gap due to jobs so it can still suck.

I used to think this way but last time I asked about it some goon actually took the time to explain it rather than saying that they didn't have to educate me but essentially the made up genders things are supposed to identify certain roles in society, it's kind of stereotyping in it's own way but it can also sorta makes sense. If you think of gender roles as sort of individual boxes of societal expectation, ie mommy cooks and daddy works or w/e, then deviations that are commonly known become their own genders of sorts. When you have enough dudes comfortable being a man but has an identity that doesn't mesh with traditionally masculine roles they essentially create a new gender role that they fit into.

It's hard to describe but it did make sense when I heard someone else explain it, but basically the gender people are talking about in those kind of discussions is coupled with the role that the gender is meant to fill in society.

um

they don't have to make up genders to do that

"I'm a guy who likes to knit" or "I'm a girl who likes to shoot guns and get drunk and rowdy"

none of that requires a new gender, especially one that nobody is going to take seriously like "demigirl" or "quiriosexual aromantic".

Yeah it's a cultural marxist word game they're playing that would make like 90 percent of people say theyre gender queer. frankfurt marxists are very specifically trying to destroy archaic social norms like gender roles and family units as ways enact social change they want. having all your kids walk up to you wearing lingerie and saying theyre queer after taking their mental correction meds (seriously like half of white children are on them) is just a part of the plan.

I've seen people renting single rooms in the less great parts of my city for like 1,000.

A few years ago a buddy found a lovely falling apart 2 bedroom house for about 1,200 a month though. So maybe this wacky family will get lucky.
