I mean for sure it's the entire country, with only depressingly slight variations in concentration one way or the other - but your image is about southerners specifically, so that's what I addressed.

...and honestly, it scales up as high as you want to take it - for the most part, humans are just evil sacks of shit.

Eh... I live in the cousin-fuckingly-deep South. In a city, and I work in a hospital, so I think it's pretty safe to say this is one of the more left leaning bubbles within a hundred miles. ...and there are still a fuckton of Nazis here.

There are absolutely decent people trapped here, but we're legit outnumbered. It isn't just gerrymandering or some shitty system at fault: the majority of southerners are just fucking evil.

There's always some thinly veiled excuse - "We don't hate women, we just want to protect the babies!" "We don't hate immigrants, we just want to protect our jobs!" "We don't hate trans people, we just want to protect our bathrooms!" but when you hear them talk amongst themselves about those people it's pretty clear they really do just hate them.

Most southerners are sincerely not good people.

You don't have to say it twice...

doctors

How's the demand for nurses? I'll be finishing up nursing school in less than a year! :D

Or support staff? I'm a surgical tech now, and some of my coworkers (other techs, schedulers - bottom of the medical food chain, but still with specialty experience) feel trapped here by their lack of higher education.

I was smart once! OMW!!

He knows. His goal is to weaken the US - the things that fuck us the hardest are followed by a too-little-too-late backstep probably to feed his base some plausible deniability, but his actions are pretty clear to anyone who isn't already either lying to themselves or delighting in the evil.

He is a domestic enemy of the US.

It's relative to the country - you expatriate from your country of origin, and become an immigrant to a new host country.

Expatriate and emigrate are more or less synonyms.

ex patriot

That's what I became when the Nazis took over as a result of being overwhelming popular to US voters. Turns out it's not just a handful of powerful fuckers taking advantage of the rest of us: 'we the people' are, for the most part, just evil.

 

Please go into lots of detail - some of us are taking notes!

5, [tied: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7], 6, 8

Sweet potato fries are fucking amazing when they're done right. Usually they're overly mushy which I think is why they get so much hate, but they're top tier when the cook knows what they're doing.

"It's like crowdsourcing, but with community and business supporting resources!"

Yeah if you want to pitch socialism to people who don't know what it is, just describe its parts as individual policies. Don't actually use the word "socialism" - that makes the rednecks scurred >_>

Dang, you mean to tell me that animal refuse blended into mush and saturated with salt is bad for us?!

My retirement plan is to work until it hurts too much to work anymore, use whatever I've managed to save up to buy as much illegal drugs as I can get my hands on, enjoy literal bliss for however long [money ÷ cost of drugs] gets me.

Then, either 1) overdose and die, 2) go skydiving or something and just don't pull the parachute line, or 3) murder as many neonazis as I can until one of them kills me first. Gonna depend on the mood at the time.

 

Heresy, right? I've had a mechanical for the last couple of years, and while it's served me well enough, I still don't like the feel or clickety-clack compared to a membrane switch - and my current one is the Razer Blackwidow Stealth w/ rubber o-rings added to the base of each key, which I think is as non-clackety as a mechanical gets.

Anyway, the Blackwidow is starting to have issues - F5 key died months ago, and lately it's been doing this annoying thing where I press a key and it registers the downstroke, but not the release, of the Tab and D keys until I pull it from its USB port and reinsert. It's time.

...but the initial search for a replacement all I'm seeing are either mechanical or mimicking mechanical (like a membrane switch but with the big blocky keys that mechanicals use).

My favorite keyboard 'feel' 100% is an oldschool laptop style keyboard. Like the IBM T60 - flat, light to the touch, and no dead space in between the keys like you see in a lot of today's laptops (the 'island' style... not a fan).

I don't think my entire wish-list exists in a single product, but what I'm after is:

  • That T60 style described above

  • Programmable keys (remap / macros)

  • Corded... unless cordless options have really improved in the last decade or so: I recall a noticeable delay, and constantly running out of battery.

  • Extra keys specifically for binding macros like the Blackwidow

  • Backlight. Low priority, and I don't give a shit about RGB (or aesthetics in general), but it is nice to be able to be able to see which key is which when the room is dark.

...is anything even kind-of like that on the market, or should I just shut up and get another mechanical?

 

My death cult is better than yours.

 

Thinking along the lines of Freeman's Mind, Neeb's Subnautica, Red vs Blue (their channel is locked behind some kind of 'join' thing... wtf...)

Anyway, nursing student here! ...it's melting my brain. I don't trust my time-management skills to actually fire up any games right now - the addiction is real, and I'll fuck up my grade; but the 'itch' is also real, so I'm trying to find something to give that gaming fix, but in little short bursts so I don't one-more-level my way out of the program.

Study up, give my brain a nice 10-20 min break, then get back to it.

Not really picky on the game or genre, just looking for something in-character. YouTube is absolutely STUFFED with videos of people just playing games, but hardly any focused on delivering an actual story. Or rather, I'm sure it's there, it's just lost in a sea of low quality slop.

Any recommendations on picking out the gems?
