For all your owl related needs!
I vote Nay.
While land doesn’t vote, if you look at a county election map, anyone seceding is not going to just walk away with current borders intact, and even if you establish a new border, you’re going to be in the middle of enemy territory no matter which state we’re talking about.
Yes, so I am overwhelming myself with good stuff so I don’t have as much time to let that stuff bother me.
I joined an animal rescue that I work at every Sunday and busy my butt there. I also started participating in community events with other people through my music teacher, so I’ve always got new songs to work on. These national protests also have a more uplifting vibe than I’d expected, so I’d like to participate in more of those too.
So I’m feeling better about my own actions, developing more skills, helping my environment, giving entertainment back to my community, and seeing hundreds of other people that also want this place to be a bit better.
Sure the news is still a total buzzkill, but I can only dwell on it so long. I put off doing these things for so long saying I didn’t have time or energy, but now they are wonderful healthy distractions, and even if we do pull out of this tailspin, I’d love to keep doing all these things anyway.
Don’t let jerks keep you down. We can’t stop all of it, but we can all find some way to be useful and successful, and other people seeing you carry on will keep them motivated too!
The conversation there looked great, so I kept finding myself there, so I just sucked it up. I always saw them politely ask people to respect the rule, but I know it’s gotta get old repeating themselves every time. Guys got literally every other community! Let them have one in peace. They know where to find us fellas if they really need us. 🤣
It’s like eves dropping on a group of people in public. Yes, they’re talking where anyone can listen, but it tends to make people uncomfortable if you lurk there obviously or chime into their conversation, so it’s polite to move on or ignore them. I just blocked them, out of respect, not frustration. It just removes the temptation while not affecting them in any way.
The best part is, as another person said in this post, is any questions you do have that are female related, you can ask in another community and those same nice ladies will answer you. 😁
I am very aware, as someone in one of Pennsylvania’s blue dots. But I don’t want to live fully encircled by active hostiles.
Close down a few major roadways and it’s siege tactics, and blue areas would get starved out or cut off from water pretty quickly. Most people won’t be fighters, and it just seems like a bad situation.
Plus that red land, while not necessarily lived on is where a lot of food, resources, and commerce is. How much food can we grow or raise in cities. How much defense industry do we have? Where do we get wood or my minerals/ores?
Secession just seems like a way for a lot of people to suffer. We need to get the whole place back, not specks here and there that are dependent on (?).
