I say Austin as well. Europeans, which are a sizeable part of the people I get where I work, are much more amenable to hearing Austin than Texas out of me. I was proud to be from there growing up, but that went out the window years ago.

I can see how this seems reactionary to ask this question less than 24 hours after the election, but it’s important for folks to do what they believe is best for their kids and family. My choice to leave the mainland was made long before this election and it was not made on who would or would not win, but on the overall direction my life is going. There are better places to raise kids where they can learn more about the world around them. If this man finds that for his family that’s cool. For those who are content to stay here and enjoy life that’s fine too.

I take it she is a Sun Devil? My money is currently being handed to that school for my masters. I might want to see what they are teaching undergrads with a response like that.

It’s okay to give the RGV back to Mexico. Leopards going to be eating so many faces that direction. I would imagine there is a fairly good amount of citizens there who want to “pull up the ladder” so to speak. Not the sharpest tools in the shed is probably being kind in seeing vote swings line that.

First off thank you for having served a country that clearly does not value your service the way prior generations did. Second I believe that you likely instilled the values within your children that you have. They will persevere and be okay. For your family members that are going to be hung out to dry solely for how they choose to live life, well, I hope for the best for them in what will not be a really welcoming climate politically. Human beings never, ever learn from the mistakes of the past.

I sent out my first email tonight for a university I hope to eventually work for or with in the South Pacific. No time like the present to take care of decisions that can pay off for you down the road.

I have spent a week out here in Hawaii and while some things are more expensive I have found that what I researched before coming here is accurate. I can live here for less than NYC and it has the added benefit of being more peaceful. I should be back by mid-January at the latest. I already set up a new bank account and did the legwork on apartment hunting and a job transfer. Just gotta get my two sweet dogs brought back with me and all will be well.

This is exactly who we are and who we have been as a country for far too long. We chose being selfish over the greater good. AGAIN. Historically this does not end well for countries that choose this path. The country that simultaneously fought a world war on the continent of Europe and over thousands and thousands of miles in the great expanse of the Pacific Ocean for the greater good just gave the middle finger to all of those brave soldiers who fought for a better future 8 decades ago. This is shameful and embarrassing to see what we are collectively.

You should have enough contacts in your company and goodwill built up with people to exit stage right sooner than most. Just do it and go enjoy the world. Again life is just so incredibly short. Do what you can, while you can before you cannot.

Were I you I would get on the first flight there just as soon as all the paperwork is the official. Change can be difficult, but that is just how life is. Having read you on here for years I know that you will do better in an environment not beset by constant and unnecessary strife. Go out and find a new place in Europe that will bring you more joy and happiness than America.

I enjoyed the beach again today and finished up writing a paper this afternoon I needed to do for class. This election is not wholly surprising, but I would call it disappointing for the people it will affect in a negative manner both inside and outside the United States. We will now see who picks up the mantle of leading the free world. Last time Merkel was there to pick up the slack and she isn’t walking back through that door. Either way Europe should probably just tell us to kick rocks as we are in no way, shape, form or fashion a reliable partner. 80 years ago we were busy stomping out the last embers of the Nazis and Imperial Japan. Now we have more in common with those two failed dictatorships than we ever should. To those people in Michigan who think not voting for Harris is going to save the lives of your family members in Gaza. Hoo boy does the GQP have a surprise for you. I had decided last year that I was exiting America no matter how this went, but I am able to do that and not everyone that is ready to leave America permanently has that same ability. I’ll put in my two years out here in Hawaii away from the day-to-day mess the mainland will devolve into. I said to myself that once I move that I will never set foot in the continental US ever again. I am okay with that and want to make that choice. Life is too painfully short to live around what the US is about to become. Not every American that wants out has that ability though. I am sorry that millions of our fellow citizens have decided to make your life a living hell solely because they can.

Optimism at tomorrow is good and warranted. If it takes someone doing a dab or two of acid to get things rolling who are we to stand in the way of a good time? I will not know a thing until Wednesday unless some idiot cult member loses his stuff out here in Honolulu and goes full moron at their god king losing again.

I predict I will be laying on the beach while all of this is transpiring and will pay zero attention to any of this tomorrow night. Wednesday I will be glad to wake up and see that our decade long national nightmare has come to a close. The cult's leader/grifter will be facing some prison time shortly thereafter.

Harris will win, the cult loses and does some limited amounts of rioting in some of the pisshole towns and hamlets they live in.

Looks like Jaxson Hayes is getting a well deserved ticket right out of the league with the new video. What a piece of garbage this guy is. I never wanted him on the team and it should not have taken an investigation being reopened to hopefully get Pelinka to waive him. He should be suspended for this entire season.

Once Harris wins this election I hope that some of you that have neighbors that are part of the cult will just completely shame them to the point that they’ll want to live elsewhere. Perhaps a move to far eastern Russia or The Gobi Desert. Anyone voting for this piece of trash absolutely deserves to be mocked, laughed at, excluded from society and turned into a pariah for the rest of their life. Treat them like the bottom feeding trash of humanity that they are. We have collectively given these clowns way too long a leash to spread conspiracy theories and general hatred. If you own a business stop hiring the cult members. If you already employ them find something they are doing wrong in their job that can result in termination. Make their lives an absolute living hell. You know just like they have tried to do to minorities for most of the last decade. Let them now reap what they have sown.

Social connections are not really that important to me. I’d like to eventually be in a South Pacific country where my odds of crossing paths with Americans would be near zero.

I wish someone would wheel him into the middle of a remote forest and then aggy bonfire him.

Jojo Rabbit is my favorite movie. I have attempted to think of something in the movie that I wished was different, but it was honestly perfect just how it was. It represents exactly what I expect from a movie that Taika Waititi directs and acts in.

So perhaps both guys should punch themselves for being pricks. Not a real big fan of writers who intentionally create drama with adding things to a column that are not necessary. I had no idea who the guy was before reading this, but he sounds like a garbage writer.

So that adds a lot of context for me. I did not really know the specifics of what was said or done. I have never thought he had a burning desire to be great or that he plays the game because he loves it. He’s big, skilled and gets paid a lot to play. Money to me is the main motivation for him, which is fine. Just don’t get upset about the apathy you show each year about actually playing the sport.

Wasn’t this because of something the reporter wrote about two of his family members?

Willingly chose to play for this garbage school and IQ challenged fanbase. Deal with the injury and 200 story drop down the roller coaster when you get back to Dead Dog Station.

The farmer fanbase has to be so angry that they extended the annual roller coaster ride into November this year. Some heads will roll for getting their hopes up much longer than usual.

This is not funny, at all. Some folks in this thread should be embarrassed at some of the horrible attempts at jokes they have made considering who the victim is. Just incredibly sad to be done with life at that age.
