True. Dallas and Houston have a lot of tech too, but Austin has become San Francisco 2 fairly recently. Dell was the big home grown tech company a lot of these other companies and start ups are from California. Nobody would accuse Dallas of being like San Francisco because it’s more traditional corporate tech. I think sxsw attracted a lot of people from California.

Well from my perspective it’s not that people hate California it’s that they hate the influx of Californians in their state. Tons of tech people moved from San Francisco to Austin and now it’s near unrecognizable. Austin a long time ago used to be a small city with a lot of charm now it’s the tenth largest city in the US. It’s not just Californians moving their but they are the biggest group and they are pretty loud about where they come from.

Everything gets more expensive, they bring some of their failed policies with them, and there are a lot of weird ideas that come out of California. I don’t mean your generic lefty policies that may upset some old timers in Texas but like the weird transhumanism shit that tech people are obsessed with. It feels like a cult, another thing California is known for, and it’s basically the opposite vibe of what Austin used to be. I personally have met a lot of Californians I really like but it’s not hard to see the culture clash. Also when I say California I really mean San Francisco and LA, not like Sacramento or the other parts of California. It’s the tech people, the Hollywood people, and the groupies they aquire. They leave California due to costs and it’s somewhat chaotic nature but then start to transform their new home into California.

If you’ve ever met old timers in Texas you know great don’t like change. They talk about building an overpass as a sign of the apocalypse. So that’s where I assume most of the hate comes from.

Yeah well great as long as the nuke hits you and not me I think I’m fine with it.

Doesn’t matter what is fair. Russia has nukes and will use them if they feel threatened. If Russia ends up getting hit by a Ukrainian bomb then they might retaliate by hitting the ones who gave it to them. Best way forward is to make a truce that pleases no one but keeps the peace.

Well you can start by not threatening Russia with invasion. Russia is propagandizing this as a fight for their survival don’t add fuel to the flame by saying your going to invade them. The US has invade and left a few countries over the years and it didn’t take threats to make us leave. We left after the public turned on it and it became politically unpopular. The same will happen in Russia but not if you threaten them.

You can prevent WW3 by de-escalating right now. It would help if we worked on diplomacy rather than sending a bunch of bombs to Ukraine and hoping it all works out. You realize that it’s not the 40’s anymore and WW3 could mean nuclear armageddon right?

What you don’t want to escalate a war and get millions of people killed? YIKESARINO.

WW3 will involve nuclear bombs and weapons beyond that. Why the fuck would you want to risk that? There are better outcomes to this.

FDR got us into WW2 you want this to escalte into WW3? Be careful what you wish for. What exactly does your “denazify” Russia entail? Removing Putin? Because that could require invasion and if you think Iraq had blowback try that shit with Russia.

denazify Russia

Before or after we win the war on terror?

Ghoulish lol. What exactly is wrong with adoption?
