@rivereddietrout @shagbark_hick That explains your reply, good day. Your pin says NYC. Your either a liar or a fool. We dont let NYC residents decide what our geographical grouping is. NE New York is more like New England Border towns than shit holes after shit hole you run into driving I 90 W

@MerkyAgua @shagbark_hick I've lived in rural upstate most my life. Upstate is upstate, then it breaks down from there. Are you retarded

Case in point here is Upstate NY. This place should be a paradise. It's superlatively gorgeous -- maybe the most beautiful place east of the Mississippi -- and fertile. The housing's cheap, there are OK jobs, soil's fine, life is easy. But people here are MISERABLE. Daily interactions involve leering, awkward staring, cold shoulders, nervous energy. Loner-hermit types avoid others; elderly are crotchedy and skittish. DinerGoth types are lurking, vaping, being gay, mumbling to themselves in the Stewart's parking lot. No one's stopping to chat, no one's your friend, everyone is kind of tense in public. Guys are shooting up on the street in Watertown, Utica, even Tupper Lake. Any cop will tell you WEIRD, dark stories about what goes on here. The Kulak class is overtaxed; the State Workers dream of Florida once the pension hits. Young guys are all planning to move to South Carolina, Texas. Local government is a good old boys club for the dumbest, most cynical drunkards in each county. The whole vibe is "soviet." Except in lib enclaves, where the vibe is "tense, judgemental, 'in this house we believe', paranoid about MAGA, cloistered." And so this place is cheap, low-rent, undesirable. Gentrifiers try to come but they don't stay here. This place resists any attempt to "reinvigorate" it. The dysgenic darkness hangs over every inch of it; no amount of bright-eyed yuppies can fix it. Albany can't fix it. It's all graft, corruption, awkward stammering parochial nutcases wandering the streets in between disability checks. The residents of so many places here are the genetic remnants of those who didn't have the gumption or the brains to go West when the time came, and it shows. Literally the best move we have is to pay people to LEAVE. If I was the governor I'd allocate massive amounts of money towards this. I'd straight-up pay people to clear out, get out of here, move along. I'd pay their moving expenses, send them to Florida or whatever. And we'd flourish.

@shagbark_hick Damn, one scroll through your profile. You fuckin hate it here. Your the miserable people you talk about. Good god man! I dont disagree with you. Ever been to Malone!? I live below the ADKS and above Albany, nice part of the country in general. Not the shit holes you post about

@MerkyAgua I grew up here and you're just... wrong. I drew this map years ago and stand behind it for the most part. Western NY is part of Upstate NY in spite of all babbling to the contrary.

@JohnnyAnts1 @shagbark_hick People who are above western NY, how could it be "up" if im north of it? Makes sense coming from a "brookyln" guy

@shagbark_hick @MerkyAgua Honest question: who’s denying that Western NY is part of Upstate?🤔

@shagbark_hick Everything to the west isn't "up" from the other half of the state, its illogical and a NYC resident term

@shagbark_hick Hahah love the map, thats great. Capital region and North Country people dont call CNY/Finger Lakes, southern tier, or western NY upstate. The word "upstate" is a sweeping generalization made by NYC. We dont want to be lumped in w Utica/cuse/Rochester etc...

@rivereddietrout @shagbark_hick Yes for a NYC resident....Syracuse isnt "Up" from where im....moron

@MerkyAgua @shagbark_hick I have lived here my whole life. Everything north of NYC is upstate. It's a catchall, and it makes sense.

@staysaasy Whoa whoa buddy, dont let the Mental Load Mafia hear that. Apparently going to the market or store without the kids isnt a break, its still a responsibility to the household and therefore. NOT a break from the mental load of choosing to bare children. Ta Ta

The answer to this is to stop doing everything together every second of the day. People get into this trap where with 2+ kids you need to stay as a group all weekend and everyone is exhausted. Taking the kids on separate outings, and especially having one parent go somewhere alone, buys you a lot of energy. My wife is going to the food store solo right now. That’s gonna be 2 hours of restorative bliss.

@shagbark_hick Ive seen people shooting up in public and humans shitting on the sidewalk in dozens of cities, thats not exclusive to the forgotten shithole towns in the counties surrounding the Adirondacks. Oh yea, nobody is dreaming of Texas here BTW

@shagbark_hick Everything else you refer sounds like a generational issue. Theres alot of out of touch retarded old boomer money. People who havnt been south of the mason Dixon or west of the Mississippi in 30 years.

@engineers_feed Typing on a TV with remote D-pad

What is a severely out-of-date technology you're still forced to use regularly?

@scurviex Chin strap style beard, beer belly, deflated gait. There was always a low ceiling here.

@SandyofCthulhu Once fastest possible map dropped. Battle.net was electric

Our bitter rival at Ensemble Studios. We had JUST released Age of Empires and then StarCraft comes out. All the cute girls at the club hung out at StarCraft’s table. We only got the nerdy ones. We punched back in 2002 with Age of Mythology which carried StarCraft’s asymmetry even further. Then in 2005 we did Age of Empires 3 which was the best graphics anyone had seen in an RTS game to date. And, again, lots of asymmetry. StarCraft always stayed the cool jock though. While we were the smart kid with taped glasses and a pocket protector over in the corner of the cafeteria.

@Wurst3Bernd @RaminNasibov MGS PTSD

@RaminNasibov I hate this part.

If you don’t recognise this picture, you’re too young.

@MythicMgames AOE4 going strong. Pretty much the last of a dying breed

Do people still play RTS games? I almost never hear them discussed anymore.

@EmmaScott @grok @Products QUUEN 👸

Hey @grok, how do I get the algorithm to stop showing me ads by user @products, which I have muted, blocked, AND reported as SPAM multiple times but still it's every other ad in my fucking feed?

@junker_jo I know you not blaming him for the BQE

Guy’s been in office one month and the streets are unusable, 13 homeless people are dead, and his mom gets caught partying with Epstein.

@johnrockshomes Cry me a river i did 20 months for leagally buying gun in Georgia and moving to NY and not registering it within the 90 day time frame. "Rights" right?

I am a J6er. I became one of the first Americans in history EVER to be sentenced to prison for picketing. I received a 30-day sentence and 3 years probation that was ruled an unconstitutional SPLIT sentence as it was too severe for a minor infraction. ILLEGAL PICKETING has a sentencing guideline the same as walking your dog off-leash in a Federal Park. Luckily my sentence was commuted to a halfway house. Here's the bed I slept in in the food they fed me. And I was one of the lucky ones. God Bless the J6ers.
