you guys are making it seem like moving to find gainful employment (even when desperately poor) is a wholly new problem only experienced in the last 20 years and that no one could ever surmount it. i don't see anyone saying it would be easy or fun in the short-term, but that's not the point is it?

Admiral Ray posted:72 hour holds are easy as gently caress to get Yeah. Wasn't there one' r/elationship story where a guy was 'pranked' by his friend via getting sectioned, and was asking how to sue them for damages because he lost his job from not showing up? I half remember that. The cops were like 'welp someone called us and we have to take you because otherwise if something did happen, we failed to act' or something like that. His friends were bragging about the prank on their facebooks.

I can't believe these loving MILLENNIALS think it's hard to move. Just go, idiots! It's definitely very easy to find a job that can pay you enough to afford rent, and it's also incredibly easy to find a place that's affordable to rent! Cars are cheap and public transportation is widely available! You loving piece of poo poo morons. You loving idiots.

As far as I'm concerned, the small rural town I'm from and still live in has a lot of problems, but it could also be a lot worse and there are cities in Florida I have interviewed at that I would not consider improvements, like West Palm Beach and Jacksonville and Panama City. If I was offered a job in my field in the likes of Tampa or Orlando or Daytona Beach, I'd gladly move. Until then, I have decent internet and a Publix in walking distance. Not ideal, but could be much worse.

No wonder so many Americans are against immigration; someone of lesser breeding and standing than some small town dipshit manages to do the impossible feat of improving their lives, from a tremendous disadvantage! Actually perhaps it's this powerful own of the "disadvantaged" Americans that makes them like this..

My [23f] boyfriend's [26m] mom says he has to come to her Christmas parties every year even when he's marriedquote:I've been with my boyfriend for over a year and it's been wonderful. Last year, I went to his family's Thanksgiving with him since we don't get to see them as much (they live 2 hours away while my own family is near us). I was also going to go to his family's Christmas Eve, but he ended up going alone since I felt obligated to spend it with my own family due to a health crisis with one of my family members.

If anyone knows about the site Meetup, my husband joined it when we moved after getting married in 2016. I already had some friends in our city but he didn't so he joined to meet new people. He's a very social person and likes trying new activities, more than me actually. He usually does something every weekend.
