  • Another consideration might be how far your “town” is from a more major center.

    A town with a population of 1000 might not feel that rural if it’s 10 miles down the road from a city of a million.

    If the next closest center > 5,000pop is 250 miles away… Perhaps a different story.

    I’ve hear it said that in Europe 100km is considered a long distance and in North America 100 years is considered a long time.



  • I think in the age of one-liners (Twitter, tik tok, etc) people have gotten so fucking stupid that they have lost their ability to digest a nuanced take. If it takes more than two sentences for a fox news host to say any liberal position is 100% and perfectly undeniably the worst thing in the world, they’re “going woke” (the brain-dead MAGA catch-all for any position they don’t like but can’t actually articulate why). If a liberal merely explains in good faith a right wing position that they’re going to argue against, they’re “enlightened centerists” (the brain dead left wing catch-all for any discussion that isn’t ** immediately** a shrill cry of fascism)

    To be extremely clear, Jon is still the smartest guy in the room, and it’s just that you’ve gotten a lot dumber in the last 10 years on your diet of twitter.
