That’s ok. I’m proud of those of you who are doing that. I’m leaving, I’ve spent a long time working out of my martyr complex and my wife and I have decided to flee.

I think the biggest thing we can do here as a community is respect each other’s choices and try to figure out what we can do to help most from the position we take.

I want to make sure our history isn’t lost. I want to make sure that if we need voices advocating for us somewhere people will listen that I can be one. And I want to make clear that until I feel safe returning home that I am an Ohioan in exile, and that that means things aren’t ok over there.

Fight well and know that some of those of us who are fleeing are setting up networks to get y’all out if you need it.

It wasn’t just that they had guns. It’s that they stood there armed, watching people get arrested, and started reading rights. It’s not enough to have guns, you need to use those guns as an implicit threat while brazenly not only following the law, demanding the cops do so as well

Turing was just excellent. He’s one of those guys that the more I’ve heard about the more I just want to offer a big hug. Also he was probably autistic. There’s no way in hell the Nazis would’ve let him in.

Also the axis as a whole lost a lot of brilliant people due to the fact that Jewish people had been disproportionately economically forced into educated positions and thus educated people were more likely to be Jewish or at the very least cool with Jewish people. That’s how Italy lost Fermi, he defected because his wife was Jewish.

That’s also why nazi art was shit, but also because of the oppression of gay people. Ok nazi art didn’t have a chance for a lot of reasons.

Water vapor absolutely can go down when under pressure. It goes in all directions in accordance with the pressure placed on it until it equalizes. In atmospheric conditions it tends to be more buoyant than air. But once it’s sealed it does wherever it faces the least resistance. You can put release valves facing down, it’s just also really stupid to do that because once released steam will just go up

Because EA wanted bioware to make an mmo, but bioware wanted to make kotor 3

Oh, ones like feeding the hungry, pacifism, and being kind to immigrants and foreigners?

I want a Honda fit but electric. Or something similar. I don’t need more car and neither do most people

Really I’m just happy to be at an end. Nigerians have it rough there.

Crimew?

As an American, do it. Seriously I don’t eat meat anymore but when you said this I started craving a giant fucking black bean burger with all my preferred fixings and enough fries to concern a cardiologist. Ooh and maybe a glass of my preferred bourbon to go with it.

I may be some metric using socialist pescatarian but there are parts of this country that I feel deep in my soul and my cardiac tissue.

I’ll try to assimilate and attempt to not make too much small talk with the neighbors, if I end up up there, but I am midwestern so I’m probably not going to be able to quit the stuff entirely. We may be annoying, but we’re almost as handy as Germans, so y’all should be able to learn to live around a few of us.

Me too. And if I wasn’t fleeing Ohio I’d be looking at buying a house here. Not a big one but there are decent small houses in the suburbs that are affordable as an engineer on a single income if you save aggressively. Instead I’m spending my down payment on moving to the west coast.

And the airports

They know who the trans legislator is. This is a specific personal attack

They really want to ensure none of us attempt to enter government again

I don’t see people opposing maga while flying swastika flags. Funny how I do see a bunch of supporters of it doing so

They’re jokes until they aren’t.

Those who wish to bring slavery back are welcome to live as slaves. Those who wish fo mass deportation are welcome to get the fuck out. Those who wish for reeducation camps to attempt to change people’s orientation are welcome to be subjected to it.

I met a professor of engineering named Dr Doom once, I think he’d make a fitting surgeon general for trump. Unqualified and ominous

You absolutely can. All you need is to be an engineer or other highly skilled professional or a tradesperson who works a ton of overtime and live in a low cost of living area on a tight budget and save for a decade

Good to know, I’m a woman who’d apparently been misinformed but it is one of those things I’ve always wanted to try, but it’s not an ADHD “pick up every hobby” friendly one
