  • So, similar background, and my issue is that, as I’ve traveled, widened my circle, and now (in my late 30s) made my way into higher education; I somewhat refuse to use the expanded vocabulary that these more “sophisticated” circles prefer. I feel like I’m exposing myself to thee parts of society in order to bring the better parts of it and ways of thinking back to help build my preferred community, but knowing that the only why I can bring it back is if I maintain the “local lingo” if you will. Otherwise, I feel I’ll be seen as an outsider.

    I think I may have gone pretty hard and to the left of what we were originally talking about…but this is the internet, I may have just needed to scream into the void. Idk, but that constant strive for a middle ground is a familiar feeling.



















  • The personal notes on wiki state he was pretty decent and would “bend over backwards for anyone,” the subsequent disputes don’t seem overly dickish (aside from his passion for the legalization of gambling, but still not dickish, if anything applaudable for wanting to pay taxes instead of just going underground) compared to what a normal childless person in the 90s might do in their town. Do you have other source on the matter?

    I don’t care either way but your comment made me want to at least wiki the guy.
