After leaving my apartment building for the first time this year I would like to report that little to nothing has changed. Still people out there. I will check back again in two years time.

If I were a more spiteful person I'd be buying total shitbox cars for a thousand or two, registering/insuring them, and parking them in front of that guy's house forever.

One time I was doing community service and I met a guy who did something like that. He couldn't get the usual street closure permit for this monthly event he'd been doing for years, so he just bought some lovely cars and closed the street himself. Cool guy

thinking about all the reasons that might've contributed
  • dems still energized over abortion and women's rights and january 6
  • republicans tuning out because they don't trust elections to be legitimate any more
  • independents flirting with voting GOP but getting spooked at the last minute by Trump popping up this weekend teasing a 2024 run
  • republicans pledging to only vote in person on election day to not legitimize early voting, and then not showing up
  • trump siphoning off millions of dollars from other campaigns through phony fundraising pitches
  • some really dogshit GOP candidates running in races where a generic republican would've cleaned up by 10 points
  • the GOP being handed the shittiest economy since 2008 and choosing to focus on litter boxes in middle school bathrooms instead

That last point is just amazing. Things are hosed out there, it shouldn’t be that hard to run a convincing opposition campaign, especially when the electorate by default believes that your whole brand is being the ones that are good at the economy

I was talking to a “liberal” friend about how “he woke left is turning off moderate voters” and I was like it absolutely isn’t. The only people who care about “wokeness” are the terminally online and boomers who spend 16 hours a day watching Fox News.

It’s just not a real-life problem for vast majority of people, it’s basically a bunch of rumors from the next town over that you only hear about from the same handful of morons. It’s a super effective hate word for a certain type of brain, but a pretty good percentage of the population is still able to tell that they haven’t personally been murdered for being cis so far.

Tucker Carlson has Kari Lake and Blake Masters on his show saying they will win, which is a tactic to make their loss seem more suspicious.

I think changing laws so votes get counted on same night would do a lot to eliminate conspiracies. you will always have chuds who will complain of stolen elections but these 3 day delays do a lot to worsen the problem

I really don’t think it matters, they can and would do the same thing with “why are these results so fast, it’s almost like the winner was predetermined.” The only legit election is the one where they win, they’ve said a much themselves

Me either, it owns. You’re going to get the good and the bad no matter what, narrowing what “good” means only leads to disappointment. Do not seek further attachment, meditate and make a sand mandala, or get high and build a complicated factory in a video game.

Really, opening the disaster menu in SimCity was just embracing the impermanence of all things

I got to actually see some monks making a sand mandala when I was a little kid and it confirmed a lot of suspicions I had about everything. Just some dudes making and destroying something perfect, and maybe selling some bags of mixed sand to the locals who missed the point so bad that they wanted to buy a souvenir. It’s very possibly the best thing I’ve ever seen.

Southern Oregon, once you get South of Cottage Grove, is legit scarier than Eastern Oregon IMHO, even though Eastern Oregon has the worse reputation. Grant's Pass and Medford aren't too bad, and Ashland is the major Blue oasis, but the rest of it is fuckin sketch. I'm way more comfortable in Pendleton/La Grande/Baker City than I am in Roseburg or Klamath Falls.

Medford was looking real rough last time I was down there

Medford is really rough but it also has a decent Punk scene and plenty of alternative folks. The mainstream culture there is definitely conservative and there are a lot of sketchy rednecks but it has more going for it than Klamath Falls, that's for loving sure.

I grew up in the area. Last time I was in klamath falls I saw a guy with a swastika tattooed on his neck in the walmart
