As someone who played SxSW multiple times and mostly enjoyed it, I would like to say bands should drop out of SxSW because it is in Texas and Greg Abbott is the governor and his party literally voted to greenlight alliances with Texas neo-Nazis because they, his party, are fucking neo-Nazis.

@mikej @GrimmReality I was at SxSWi in 2011 at the table of the company for which I worked. Most everybody I spoke with were a bunch of douchebags that couldn’t see past their own JavaScript projects they were working on.

This is probably my worst poll, but I'm curious, for science:

I have/had:

@christopherbrown@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr I thought I had great parents until my father died, my mother started cleaning house, and all the skeletons she had been protecting me from as a child came out of the closet as an adult.

While I have sympathy for my mother, I concluded all of that had nothing to do with me and I kinda just moved on, went to therapy, stopped drinking, “finished” therapy, and am trying to do even better still.

I refuse to get pregnant, because even though no one will admit it, I'm pretty sure that fetus controls you from the inside like I'm a mech suit for it.

@RickiTarr At the time, my HS ran from grades 10-12. My class size was ~800. By then, people pretty much left each other alone. I was probably considered a geek or a nerd, definitely an underachiever. Ppl were either cordial or ignored me. I was fine with that.

The only bully type behavior I experienced was on the last day of school, one of my classmates decided I was the guy at which to throw an egg. It missed me, but splattered all over the inside of my car on a hot Texas May afternoon.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

As noted, her and her friends engage in activities that are free–low cost.

I perform some software testing at the company for which I work.

Two weeks ago I found our software pleasant enough to use.

Today I upgraded via Test Flight, and it was a complete downgrade.

A dev implemented a “secret tap” to switch access to some static API URLs, and it’s just thrown everything off. Because I have no feedback of which “mode” I’m in and if I’m in the wrong “mode” it will make everything unusable.
