It’s really fucking common in the internet wild. It’s even common offline.

“Just pack up your entire life and move out of here if you don’t like it here. No one is holding a gun to your head to stay.” smuglord

Oh, I did, but it took years of planning, preparation, savings, and an early retirement with the penalties that entailed. There was no gun, but I couldn’t whisk myself out of Bazinga Land in CA any faster than I could sell a flooded house to Aquaman.

That’s it. That’s the post. No one held a gun to my head to post this, but I did it anyway.

    I live on the northeast coast of Burgerland. There’s local chuds and other problems here, but I have not seen a single ZYBERTRUKKK and absolutely no one has pitched internet funny money or startup grifts to me, and I haven’t had to hear a single peep from unsolicited strangers about who murderfucked who on whatever the current P R E S T I G E T V treats are.

    I don’t even know what the current pop culture murderfucking sensation is because I didn’t have to absorb it unwillingly by sheer saturation and osmosis and I love it! sleepi
