my cousins all grew up pretty close to each other

it's kinda crazy to think about

they probably forget that I even exist

Multigenerational homes can be cool. Grandma used to teach us a lot of stuff. My uncle was across the driveway. I know what you mean, they remember you...you're just grown up to them:

I met them a few times when I was younger

Ya it was kind of cool how you could walk through the basement and get to the other side and see another part of the family

There was also this weird path through the attic that I thought was kinda cool as a kid

Or you could just go outside and use the door like a normal person

Dude, when I build a home, it's going to be on at least 100acres of forest, and there will be hidden passages everywhere, and a fountain.

...and a copper roof, and turrets.

...and a drawbridge.

are you gonna put a dragon in the tower?

@Freiheit - CA oh I love rural areas

I'm gonna put a Dragon's Eye in the tower.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Nerv!!

Wow, I haven't seen any of my cousins in years and one of them still messages me Christmas greetings

surprised they remember I exist

That's cool.

You wanna know something really cool? My second cousin's ex boyfriend from when I was a kid still likes my Instagram pictures

I've got a girl (who's a friend) that texts me Christmas greetings

and I haven't seen her in a couple years

you know what to do, @Salo Saloson

for my slav frens

@Jacob There's always the temptation to sell a house if no-one else lives in the area. The nearest family-member is my aunt in NY. The rest of my mom's side is in Australia and Europe. My dad's side is almost entirely in Southern California. With his extended family in Arizona.

@Jacob Lol. Top-tier boomer BS.

@Freiheit - CA Beautiful. Yeah everything is Cherry Hill. Cherry Hill food shop, pharmacy, you name it. People here are great.

well she's a few states away from me, and more to the point: she has a boyfriend

don't worry though: I'd already considered that idea, Alex
so we're on the same wave length

@Freiheit - CA I've been noticing that too. It's essential that we do more activism in the suburbs. We need flyers and activism that has suburban appeal because these people are very bluepilled.

Definitely.

We need to be "seen", more community service perhaps. We will be what they want, and non-whites won't move in because of our perceived ethnic cohesion. Actual cohesion will be a long term side-effect of our activism.

Alright IE-ites, I need your help with something: I keep getting told that tech people care about an area being "cosmopolitan".

Does anyone actually give a shit about an area being cosmopolitan enough?

and yes, in this case I know "cosmopolitan" is code for "fewer white people"

@Sam Anderson Subverting the cuckservatives and raising power levels.

Nah cosmopolitan is codeword for anti nationalist, snobby “white” people

I grant you that I am dealing with suburban yuppie types a lot of the time

but cosmopolitan tells me "fewer huwites around, more diverse restauraunts"

Cosmopolitan means this sort of international city of no real identity. Consumerism. Probably a jewish enclave. Could be anywhere in the world if you didn’t know where you were

To me
