when **would** you advise moving to chicago tbh

2018-08-02 23:48:30 UTC  

Austin and Denver...not coincidentally the places most in danger of turning their states into California 2.

2018-08-02 23:48:39 UTC  

To much consternation of the natives.

2018-08-02 23:48:59 UTC  

As someone who lived in Austin for 5 years.

2018-08-02 23:49:04 UTC  

yeah I'm going to be pretty peeved if I escape california only to have it follow me

2018-08-02 23:49:16 UTC  

Yeah, I'd believe it.

2018-08-02 23:49:22 UTC  

fuck it, I'll go move to montana and be a hermit or something

2018-08-02 23:49:54 UTC  

Just know when you see us Texans griping about the "damn Californians" we're mostly referring to the ones who feel obligated to change the culture and politics.

2018-08-02 23:50:00 UTC  

So probably not you if I'm reading you right.

2018-08-02 23:50:18 UTC  

And this is from a native Texan who lived in Austin just as the Social Justice nonsense was starting.

2018-08-02 23:50:34 UTC  

Lol. My escape strategy is the open Midwest.

2018-08-02 23:51:28 UTC  

I'm from midwest canada

2018-08-02 23:52:07 UTC  

it would be nice to go back but:
-40 winter
programming jobs pay ~ 1/3rd of my current salary
shitty health care
concern over teh direction the country is currently going (although if they can generate enough backlash to replace trudeau without going hard right, this will probably get better)

2018-08-02 23:53:04 UTC  

Yeah, I keep hearing stuff about Doug Ford. Not sure if that's your idea of hard right. But I can see him coming to power in Canada.

2018-08-02 23:53:49 UTC  

I don't know enough about the specifics but based on what I know, doug ford is fine

2018-08-02 23:53:58 UTC  

at worst he will be incompetent but (as far as I know) there's nothing extreme about him

2018-08-02 23:55:59 UTC  

I don't know too much. Except that he's getting the same response from the institutions that Trump gets here.

2018-08-02 23:56:13 UTC  

more like trudon't

2018-08-02 23:59:21 UTC  

I looked into it for all of about 2 minutes but doug ford's entire platform seems to be "I will undo all the things Kathleen Wynne did"

2018-08-02 23:59:41 UTC  

and all I know about Kathleen Wynne is that she pushed SJW stuff in middle schools and she made electricity super expensive with aggressive green mandates

2018-08-02 23:59:43 UTC  

so I'm fine with this

2018-08-03 00:03:14 UTC  

yeah that's a pretty good platform tbh

2018-08-03 00:03:55 UTC  

"un-fuck the country" is usually a solid platform

2018-08-03 00:05:46 UTC  

just ontario, not the country

2018-08-03 00:06:33 UTC  

oh ok so only most of the country

2018-08-03 00:06:34 UTC  

:^)

2018-08-03 00:06:46 UTC  

yep

2018-08-03 00:14:38 UTC  

tl;dr Fox executives are washing their hands of it and leaving it to the writing staff.

2018-08-03 00:23:49 UTC  

this is still being talked about???

2018-08-03 00:24:32 UTC  

Apparently. Was the top of my news suggestions from Bing.

2018-08-03 00:24:46 UTC  

FWIW, Bing didn't notice the NYTimes thing hat everyone's been swarming today.

2018-08-03 00:24:57 UTC  

Shows where the priorities are I guess.

2018-08-03 00:25:17 UTC  

The activists are relentless.

2018-08-03 00:49:27 UTC  

For Ontario: the options were either Doug Ford or the socialists

2018-08-03 00:49:37 UTC  

Ontario voted correctly

2018-08-03 00:51:19 UTC  

In BC it's neolibs or the ones who got rid of mental health care despite being the leftmost party of the big 3

2018-08-03 00:52:22 UTC  

Yeah, they really fucked up that Kinder Morgan pipeline project

2018-08-03 00:55:09 UTC  

Trudeau buying an abandoned pipeline might be the highlight of his admin from an entertainment standpoint

2018-08-03 00:56:41 UTC  

>BC govt doesn't want it, BC hippies don't want it
>Trudeau forced to side with AB
>lefties absolutely furious
>this project will only lose money

2018-08-03 01:36:59 UTC  

Gotta hand it to Trudeau, he'll always find a new and innovative way to burn taxpayer moneys
