As someone who moved from florida I can second this. I was so nervous moving here with the reputation of the people here, but my god the people here are just so much more friendly. In Florida there’s so many mean and nasty people, and tons of fake people too. Here, even when just talking to people while I was working retail, it mostly seemed genuine and nice. Sure there’s a lot more straightforwardness, but that’s so much better than vague disapproval.

You do realize that equating drag to porn is incredibly insulting right? It’s not just you getting offended.

But that’s besides the point. I’m honestly curious how you compare drag to porn. Cheerleaders dress insanely provocatively in their performances. Are they pornstars too? Should we ban children from sporting events? I don’t think we should, but I also don’t think the government should ban drag either. What’s your take?

You’re equating drag queens to porn stars and then getting annoyed when people call you out on it? Just don’t make wildly exaggerated comments if you don’t want people to tell you how ridiculous your wildly exaggerated comments are.

If the basis of your argument relies on you wildly exaggerating what you’re arguing about to make your point then your point is wrong.

My local coffee shop removed their streetery a few weeks ago. It’s so sad seeing space that used to be so vibrant with tons of people always out sitting be replaced with 2 parking spots.

Don’t get me wrong I hate it when it becomes a visibility concern on corners, but this spot was actually heavily used and now the inside of the joint is almost always completely full.

That’s how it is with most florida cities. They’re incredible to visit for a week, but living there usually just means submitting yourself to a lifestyle of traffic ridden suburbia in weather that gets really boring and oppressively miserable after a year. Ironically I spend more time outside now living here than I did there, just because the swampy stickiness isn’t worth it.
