@gigagoogus @shagbark_hick This many constraints guarantees an outcome. When you know that in advance, you might just cut to the chase. It's like a single person with an exhaustive list of deal breakers - just admit you don't want the thing.

@shagbark_hick @shagbark_hick Your price range is going to be extremely limiting, compared to what you could choose from, if you were to expand upward even a little bit (225-275k) instead of 100-200k. There is a massive gulf in housing/property availability at the 100k level vs 200-225k lvl

I'd be curious to know what people would do in my position. If I leave NYS, where should I go? Keep in mind I: - Hate humid heat - Am and will always be a low-earner (low prop. tax more important than low income tax) - Do not fit into "normie" HVAC drywall strip-mall world - Am very Catholic and wish to go to Mass every single day if possible - Am very much a "Yankee" but alternately I do mesh well with Latinos and speak some basic Spanish - Want to be around friendly, well-read, thoughtful eccentrics (esp 'Catholic hippies') - Could do rural or urban, cold-wet or desert climate - Prefer to avoid total reliance on automobiles - Need a place where I can buy a house CHEAPLY (as in, under $100k -- $200k at the absolute most) There are compromises anywhere, to be sure. Thus far I figure I could, in no particular order: 1. Get over my hatred of hot-humid heat and move back to Chalmette, LA 2. Get over my aversion to cars and live in rural NM on the fringes of Silver City or maybe T or C 3. Try out El Paso 4. Pony up big money and try out Coos County NH 5. Try out normiedom in or near Wichita (?) 6. Live in the hood in Steubenville OH 7. Move to Tucson or maybe ABQ 8. Forget all this and just be full-blown nomadic in a boat or a bus Or, of course, I could stay in NYS, though all my friends here are leaving and I'm starting to think the writing is on the wall for me here. What would you do? I get a lot of scattershot advice on this so I figured it'd be interesting to make a thread for it.

@ABC Heavens to Betsy, incumbents sometimes lose? Stop the presses!

As many as 19 members of the Congressional Black Caucus — almost a third of its membership — are at risk of losing their seats through the 2028 cycle. abcnews.link/e3DwXOc

@nedryun @MZHemingway It's right there at the beginning. Do they know how to read?

The idiocy and ignorance displayed in this question are staggering.

@WGR550 The story of the game is that our teams have the most obvious Achilles heels in the world and the only people who don't see it are the gms

The Sabres magical season came to a heart-breaking end last night as they fell 3-2 in overtime of Game 7 to the Montreal Canadiens. They played a great game and may have deserved a better fate... What did you think was the story of the game?

@kevsylvester Goaltending - I'm in favor of it. Would be a refreshing change of pace to have it

Jarmo’s got some big decisions to make this offseason. Lindy contract? Sign Tuch? Goaltending? Add on the high end? The idea is build from this. Should be an interesting off season.

@stoolpresidente Sabres fan. Upl was inevitable

City of Buffalo just can’t catch a break.

@molcranenewman @NYCMayorsOffice How many abortions in their past have made them crazy

“I’m saying fuck Brian Thompson. I don’t give a flying fuck he died,” says Ashley Rojas, wearing her press badge provided by @NYCMayorsOffice. Lena Weissbrot adds that Thompson’s teenage sons “are better off without him” and should “enjoy the blood money.”

The future of journalism? Credentialed members of the NYC press corps came to Luigi Mangione’s hearing today to support the defendant they’re purportedly reporting on and to promote jury nullification “to the most cucked and submissive population in all of human history”

@Tstokey @DrivelineBB Not sure about the second green wedge. I had that angle coming out of a bunker before on a double hit!

LaunchPad Biomechanics visuals @DrivelineBB Full signal bat tracking data: Green = Ideal attack angle range Is your bat path in a good place in the window where contact should be happening?

@bryan_caplan Your dismissiveness of the idea that you can't have a welfare state and open borders. You never take it on, you only scoff.

Ok, please tell me my blind spots.

@AP Today I learned the second amendment never applied to muskets. Fascinating.

A musket from 1776 can fire a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet per second. Imagine what that can do to a human body. Yet under federal and most state laws, it’s exempt from gun regulations. Many antique or replica guns aren’t considered firearms and even convicted felons can own them.

@SneakyJoeSports Counterpoint. I think we should try playing a good goalie

UPL is goalie Ristolainen. It's a trick. He's got a cool name. He's big, athletic, and impressive looking and he's gonna have moments that make you think he's really good. Lyon, Ellis, Levi trio next year and never EVER get tricked again.

@JeremyWGR That ship sailed years ago. This is as stupid as trying to win a super bowl with no wr and all the average tight ends

Trust ain’t a word I feel likely to ever use again with this goalie

@politicalmath They curate, we ban

None of these books have been "banned" from public libraries and the few that have been "banned" from school libraries were banned for racial slurs in Burbank CA, which was +34 D in the 2024 election

@Schopptalk I can't decide what's worse here, Stanley or Thompson

@AGJayJones Just say you don't want a constitution

(2/2) This decision silences the voices of the millions of Virginians who cast their ballots in every corner of the Commonwealth, and it fuels the growing fears across our nation about the state of our democracy. Read my full statement here: oag.state.va.us/media-center/n…

(½) Today the Supreme Court of Virginia has chosen to put politics over the rule of law by issuing a ruling that overturns the April 21st special election on redistricting.

@AP Might as well say that you want constitutions abolished

@kristenmag @BridgetPhetasy Unless your psycho spouse insists on mail in

Your ballot is secret. If you’re a Democrat living in a blue city and you’re tired of the violent crime and the open air drug use and the tents and the needles and the fraud and the failed progressive promises… It’s ok to vote red for a reset. Nobody ever has to know.

@Bulldogwgr Yes. It sounded dead.

I’m getting TNT streamed through HBO Max and I swear the crowd was muted some how. All I heard during the Canadian anthem was some dude yell “woo”. All night, Let’s Go Buffalo sounded like 5 people sitting too close to the announcers. Anyone else experience this or am I nuts?

@ASFleischman Say what the law should be before trying to get people to go along

Both parties gerrymander whenever possible. This is bad. Neither party will ever unilaterally disarm. That is predictable. So why not just call a truce and pass a law to restrict it everywhere?
