    The snow pic admittedly isn’t that bad, but most places aren’t as chronically hot as the other pics imply. Many people would have to be straight up suicidal to try and live around such open bigots. I don’t have a choice; I have to live away from that shit for my own safety. The worst part is that I hate cities. The extremism from the right has literally ruined rural living for people like me.

    Also, if being a treasonous bigot is considered simply “conservative,” then we’re in deep shit.

      They’re hyperbolic images. “Winter” is too cold, a heat wave in Arizona is too hot, the house that treason built is too conservative, the house that is falling down with no visible community around it is too rural.

      My point is simply that if one’s criteria is “can’t be: hot, cold, conservative, or rural,” you’re discounting the overwhelming majority of the country. If you’d like to debate the finer, literal details of each individual photograph, that’s fine. I was responding to what they seem to connote rather than strictly what they denote.

        Honestly, we need to teach ourselves and our children that owning a house isn’t all that great and dandy since we’ll just be torturing ourselves about not having one. Just go with having to pay a landlord and/or a studio apartment, just whatever to get everyone to live with the times.
