I hate Portland because I lived in Seattle for two years. It's the same culture, the same airheads, the same retarded brain rotted university students with luxury beliefs.
>theres still well over 50% normal people who just want to raise a damn family while working a normal job A city that is 95% normal people and 5% career criminals is a total fucking shithole where your probability of being victimized by a criminal at least once over the course of a year is quite high.
@nerthos@anemone theyre cities theres crime and theres fags and theres mexicans and theres hobos and theres still well over 50% normal people who just want to raise a damn family while working a normal job
@anemone Afraid=/=disgusted. I'm perfectly willing to go to places like Chicago or Detroit, which have way higher crime rates. Portland or San Francisco are offputting due to extreme degeneracy and ridiculous laws, not due to fear for one's safety.
@nerthos@anemone bro i can personally attest there is PLENTY of extreme degeneracy in both Detroit and Chicago. theyre not like Gary Indiana where its just fallout 3 with trees
@anemone I mean yeah you can technically ignore some freak in a fetish dog mask. But the fact that you have to actively ignore stuff like that /in public spaces/ is justification to not go. There are thousands of places to visit after all.
@why@anemone It's something that weirds me out of US cities honestly. Here there are two cities that have any significant number of most of those things (Rosario and CABA), all the others are 95% normal people wanting to raise families and work jobs.
@djsumdog@djsumdog.com i hate liberals but rural areas in the US are in terminal rot. no jobs, no amenities, in my cases no healthcare, probably no postal service soon too
Post offices are not going away. That's another one of those insane panics. I lived for a year in the middle of nowhere Georgia and I preferred it to Seattle. There might not be much, but I preferred the quite to the screaming insanity.
There were plenty of jobs there. Rural America is dependent on jobs. When they go, the towns dry up. People in those areas move to where the jobs are. It's a rough life, a life people in Seattle would never understand.
Dunno. One of my neighbors owned a construction company. Another was in the Navy. Brunswick was a port town, so it had a lot of dock workers, truckers, all the people who support those industries, plus a lot of nature conservancy jobs. Lot of military too.
I mean, there were still fast food joins, crackheads behind the gas stations, truck stop hookers, squatters in the run down Motel 6, Waffle Houses fill with what looks like clones of every Waffle House staff .. and behind our apartments were some guys who were constantly working on their trucks; tweakers literally tweaking everything while strung out on meth. Someone stole my other neighbor's lawn chairs ... middle of nowhere still has its problems.
But it also had wide swaths of nowhere you could high through for hours. Would still take it over the Pacific Northwest.
Sounds more promising than being a city slicker where all the fast food joints and so on judge you for being a "team player" and other nonsense that has nothing to do with the actual task.
