It's definitely more expensive, especially for owning rather than renting (median house price is like $500-600,000) . There are more affordable neighborhoods scattered around the area but yeah monthly costs are pretty high. I personally felt the trade offs were worth it for me to move, but totally understand the cost being a big issue.

Highly recommend Colorado if people are seeking a blue state to move to in the US! The legal protections are some of the best, we have a super majority Democrat state government that's gotten even more left leaning under Trump, and there's tons of community for queer folks in Denver.

Agreed, I had a friend who every time it came up talked about how much he hated Taylor Swift. I kept trying to press him about what he didn't like about her, like the music, or the tours, or whatever.

And at the bottom of it he just didn't like the idea of a woman with wealth and power equal to her peers in the music industry

From personal experience working in DoD research, the amount of compartmentalization a lot of those people have drove me insane. I knew quite a few young earth creationists & fake moon landing believers when I was there. I definitely think a lot of those folks think that their military funding is safer under trump, and everyone outside of their field is a "corrupt leftist scientist"

I absolutely love the final climax & boss of lost legacy. It's so fucking fun

Had to stay at home with parents during COVID quarantine w/ Fox News on almost 24/7, you're absolutely right. Also the "token democrat" is so biased to agree with soft conservative points, it's frustrating how many people fall for that trick.
