    Atlanta, Denver, somewhere in Virginia, Maryland, or DC, or possibly Ohio or Pennsylvania. There’s places like Austin and some places in Florida that might have cool people, but the state government is trash.

    I saw Greenville recommended, and this is anecdotal, but last time I was there visiting friends, we (visibly queer) got followed around by this crazy guy with a metal pipe making all kinds of death threats. I love my friends but that sealed the deal for me on not wanting to live there. There are some neat places there ngl, the sex themed desert restaurant was a fun place for a queerplatonic hangout, but in general it’s not exactly going to be a refuge from Trump supporters.


  • I don’t think that lab-grown meat will ever replace animal agriculture on a large scale, at least in my lifetime. That being the case, I’d rather leave any ethically produced meat for people who would’ve been eating unethically produced meat instead.

    If the situation is basically full on Star Trek replicator, then I wouldn’t have ethical qualms but I might still find it gross and it might not digest well since I’m not used to it. Either way, it’s very distant from the actual situation we’re in now.





  • There is a clear contradiction in this comment.

    Capitalism needs to be regulated as fuck to create a fair society, so for now, I strive for socialism, because I understand going straight to communism probably won’t work.

    Isn’t this the exact reasoning behind China’s market reforms, beginning under Deng Xiaoping?

    If we take this poster at their word, then their disagreement with modern China is not ideological in nature!

    Does that mean their disagreement is about the practical implementation? Of course not! That would contradict a key piece of evidence: This World Bank report!

    According to the report, 800 million Chinese people have been lifted out of poverty - accounting for three quarters of worldwide poverty reduction! No reasonable person could called that a failed implementation!

    If this poster really supports a transitional phase of regulated markets, then why would they be condemning China for successfully implementing the very approach they advocate for?
