Yep. We took our 16yr old daughter in to get implanted birth control good for 3 years in case they outlaw it. Now we are pulling up stakes as quickly as we can. It's a logistical nightmare(small business owner) but will be worth the move for thuh wimmen folk.

No state will be safe, unfortunately.

Flights to Mexico are going to get expensive AF.

At least WestJet just announced an Austin>Vancouver direct flight for your birth control needs.

If you don't mind me asking, what state did you land in? Seems like a lot of the folks I know that are moving are going to Colorado

We moved to VA.  It is not red or blue but truly purple.  The elected R’s are mostly moderate.  I don’t agree with everything, which is how it should be tbh, but I don’t feel like the state government is trying to fuck me and appeal to the worst in society. I pay state income tax, but my overall tax burden is same or lower than TX since property tax is about 1/10 what paid there.  We have nice libraries (WITH BOOKS), community rec centers with full gyms, pool, and summer programs for the kids, pot holes are fixed within a day, drivers license offices are in/out in 15 min.  The kids, who used to sit in their rooms and play video games cause is was too hot to do anything in TX, are now outdoor  enthusiast (one has done most of the appalachian trail, runs marathons and is about to hike Patagonia with her friends).  Public schools are well funded and not overcrowded.  There are several good public state college options (not just 1 like in TX) and all my kids got into all of them including UVA cause you don’t have to be top 4% or whatever to go to a decent school here.  Long weekends are a train ride or drive to NYC,DC/Boston, quick ski trip to Snowshoe, or a drive to Hilton Head or NC beaches.  Overall its just much less stressful cause you don’t have to worry about so much shit that you shouldn’t have to worry about and when you need downtime there is something fun to do.

I sold my 98 3/4 ton two Saturdays ago. We are getting prepped to vacate this fucking state and can't take all these damn cars with us.

Still have my 99 F-150 4x4 in the driveway. Even fixed it up and got it inspected and registered last year for the first time in 10 years, so it’s a legit backup vehicle and not just my hunting-fishing-hauling rig.
Thought of unloading my daily driver and the old truck, and replacing them with a nice new truck.
Then I priced a new 4x4. FUCK THAT.

Good place. Reminds me of an English-speaking France for how people live life. Plus being non-native I could pass through the mental force-field that doesn't allow Virginians and Marylanders to visit each other.

Me I always get along great farther NE with the vinigary sassiness of New Englanders, and didn't mind (a few days) of the Winter. Main drawback is getting older and slipping on ice, plus my artist friends there seem to have fewer opportunities than I do in Bama.

Moving to CA almost 20 years seems like a good move.

I miss the BBQ and friends, but moved closer to family, fantastic weather, good food, beaches, mountains, diversity and more options for Asian women to marry.

I ended up in Tustin, because it is spelled almost like Austin (just kidding).

The state income taxes are a beating, not to mention home prices. But at least property taxes are predictable at 1% of my purchase price even though the value of my home has doubled.


It was a good 12 years in Texas, but I don’t have any reason to go back, especially with the shenanigans that are Texas politics.

Every time I'm in Texas, I'm asked when I'm moving back. The last time the conversation came up, it was on the heels of everyone discussing what kind of generators they bought for their house for the next power failure. All living in the "energy capital of the world."

There are…a lot… of very good looking Asian and Asian mixed race women around Seattle.  Enough to hypothetically change a guy’s browser history.

Only been here three years but by far the best decision I’ve made, financially.  Sold my home in Westlake at the tiptop of the Covid real estate craze.  We were able to buy a lot less house for a little less money and accelerate my retirement schedule quite a bit with in state tuition for one kid (the other is private so fucked on that account either way).  I spend a lot less on vehicles because I barely drive anymore, and as a the silly gas prices don’t affect me directly as much.  Quality of life is so much better I am asking myself why I waited so long, but reality is I couldn’t afford it before.

I'm glad I'm in Colorado. My wife and I agreed that we should hurry up and gets our kids their passports in case it comes time to leave.

This is a conspiracy that Alex Jones really promotes. What it’s really about is that extending equal rights to women, expanding girls education access, promoting women’s health care, and ending childhood and arranged marriages is guaranteed to cause a birth rate drop. 

While I don't follow Alex Jones, I don't believe this is a conspiracy theory. Go back a three generations and I suspect you'll find more children per family. Yes, some of that will be caused by birth control, but in general, women will not want to have 8 babies if they have a career. (And this another reason for birth control.)

If you look at those communities where the wife traditionally stays home to be a mother / home maker, they have more children and time to parent them.

It's ok to want that for their family. I used to tell my wife we were going to have 8 babies. Having two changed my mind. (I never wanted 8, but 4 sounded manageable. Sheeeeeit.)

Bought mine last year. I’m stuck here, just hoping that I’m wrong in thinking this state has fallen into a bottomless pit of depravity. It’s all I’ve got.

monstrous. like he's literally a monstrosity. worse than Trump. dotard is a faucet of endless bullshit but all he actually cares about is being worshipped and staying out of prison. Abbott means every heinous thing he says and backs it up with action. what a pathetic, horrible excuse for a  human he is.

Not gonna lie, I don't feel particularly safe in CO.  Bad shit is heading everywhere.

I'm stuck in Texas for a while, but I have no desire to retire here. Shit weather and cost of living gets worse every year. The food is really the only thing I would miss.

Walked around my BIL's old 1995 F150.   Simple truck, bench seats, AM/FM radio, stick shift, 2 fuel tanks.   I am 6 ft tall.  The front bumper is about 2 inches above my knee.   The hood is where my belly is, and my head is taller than the truck.   The tailgate is near waist high.   I often walk by trucks in the grocery store where the hood is at my shoulder height.    Sigh.  I kind of hate those things.

Cross Posting. 100% tariff on imports from BRIC Nations.

That includes India. Wonder how the Trump voting Hindi block feels when their spices double. Opening up a nursery and gonna grow my own saffron. Any investors?

  • Popular Post

It’s so tired.

1.) Tariff threat

2.) Country leader visits trump to kiss his ring

3.) Trump looks all powerful and like a king which is what he’s after in the first place

4.) Backroom deal made in which Trump enriches himself or extracts concessions that benefit his friends or himself politically.

5.) Tariffs never happen or are in a name only / at the X% on some good that doesn’t mean a shit so he can say he did what he said he would do.

I saw saffron at Costco last weekend for 16.50 per gram.  I know it’s expensive but never priced it before to know how that price compares, but does the spice contain the seeds?

Do we have a moving out of Texas thread? It's going to take some time to be in a financial situation for us to do so, but we will have much more flexibility in a few years and are interested in options. Would like a good place to raise kids, outdoor activities nearby and decent diversity. Where would you send us?

It’s not really a bully pulpit when you’re using it for self dealing hurting American interests.

It shouldn’t. Only the flower’s stigma and styles, ie the crimson parts in the image.

No, it is a bulb. Growing is easy. Harvesting the saffron is a bitch and it takes a lot.

This might be a generational/social circle thing but we got a whole lot of "take me with you/wish I could" from peers and a lot of confusion from older folks when we decided to leave.
