How did I even get here, son?!
My anecdote from working on a farm for four years as a teenager was that the owner of the farm was a nice enough guy who somehow managed to get his neighbors to hate him. The explanation he gave was that they weren't happy that he was actually using the land for production which led to fights over whether he could build a little stand to sell stuff next to the road and other petty disputes. How the hell do you get into fights with your neighbor who you can't even see from your own house because there's so much empty space?

My other anecdote is from in-laws in Europe who have a guy in their town who had some dispute with the neighbors, so as revenge he set up the portion bordering their land as a permanent Roma settlement which has been there for 10+ years.

I moved out to the country and people are certainly nice to me but I’m white and in a straight relationship and a 16 year old dude just got put in hospital by two grown men for wearing makeup in public, which to be fair also happened in the city so in conclusion go broncos and that kid is way braver than I’ll ever be.

I also grew up in the sticks and now live in a huge metro area and really the only thing I really wasn't prepared for was how busy everyone is.

It seems like everybody got a place to be and a thing to do all the time, and then during downtime all people talk about is how busy they are all the time. It's weird!

I'm becoming one of Them too :smithicide:

Edit: this could also just be an urban :canada:ism now that I think about it.

I went from living in the middle of nowhere, to living in brooklyn, to living in a town of 30k, to the middle of nowhere again, and let me tell you, both the city and the middle of nowhere suck major rear end. Gimme a small city any time.

i've lived in a town of ~100k that's 45-60mins from larger cities for a while now, and it's a rly good balance, except for the lovely transit options

i dont hate driving but every time i visit chicago it's like, holy poo poo, i can get anywhere on my own two feet with the help of these trains and a ~twenty buck week pass

Chicago at least has the trains above ground. In NYC the trains are primarily below ground, and that gets depressing in the winter if you’re on them a lot.

The 30k town I lived in was Northampton, MA. I could walk basically anywhere in town I wanted to go and if I wanted to go to a nearby town without driving the busses were really good. But there’s also a big difference in something like that in the hippy part of MA and one of 30k in the Midwest that’s all sprawled and mostly empty.

It's a common misconception that conflict occurs in rural areas, but an understandable one, because there was quite a bit of conflict until 2004, when Marvin Heemeyer united all rural peoples forever.

THUNDERDOME LOSER 2020
I grew up in the big city and now live in a small town, and I gotta say the city is better in almost every way. The only downsides for me are catcallers and homeless people (whom I feel sorry for, not contemptuous of like that Quora guy). If we could just provide housing for all and fire all catcallers into the sun, it would be perfect.

that sounds like it could be a bummer but I would forsake the sun for a season if it meant gettin around for pretty cheap compared to fueling and maintaining a car

and yeah there's a lot more cheap land out here in the midwest; we have a handful of denser blocks forming a very walkable neighborhood about a mile in radius, the part of town built between 1850~1920, but I haven't been able to afford to rent there since 2009 or so

A few weeks ago I responded to a headhunter pitching a tech job with a social conscience

Turned out to be the Bloomberg campaign, "but then if he's not the primary winner the platform we build will be used to promote whoever does win"

I did not actually laugh in the recruiter's face because come on they're just doing their job, but I am lolling that this could have been me
