Look out.

You could get a mod warning for such talk!

Did you miss the last where I wrote ‘low expectations of the people who accept it all’

They think it’s great because they don’t know any better because they don’t leave!

Yeah I am a reformed Masshole but I like the way the state is… except maybe the state monopoly on liquor…

I am not Kevin Skarupa haha!

Is this the massive hunting reserve by Cornish?

Yes, there animal popations have been self sustaining for half a century now

Just don’t raise the state income tax.

There's a great blog about Corbin Park and the history of it. Really interesting and there's certainly some mystery to it. And a lot of suffering associated with it. I get spooky vibes when you are outside looking up at Croydon mtn. My friend hunted outside of it and heard the elk bugleing back in the 80s.

There is always internet available. Star link?

Yeah my buddy used to raise regular domesticated pigs, they are wicked escape artists, you have to bury fencing like two feet underground or they’ll burrow under it

NH does not have a lot of businesses beyond small businesses that do not offer any real income or opportunity. Sure there are the trade businesses, but that is not always where people want to go or end up starting their own business. Looking for a new job myself and there is little offered where people can move around a company and get better wages.

IMHO, jobs are male oriented if you want to make a decent living. Either that or you better have a masters/PhD specific career that has jobs here.

However, there is a doubled edge sword with better jobs comes more people.

At the rate the housing is going in NH, I don’t think more people will move into the state. NH housing is already more costly than many of the towns in MA, and don’t forget the instance property taxes

I feel like most “conservatives” who move here from southern New England are performing conservative cosplay.

iT’S aNtIFA aGAiN!

As close to Canada as possible.

Mass is like a sibling state to us. We kinda have to poke fun at each other. But in the end we’re still closer to them and the rest of New England than anywhere else, both literally and figuratively. It’s depressing how many people seem to take it seriously though.

A generation or two ago, you'd be able to find French speakers in lots of places. I'm in my late 40's and my mom, my aunt, and grandparents on one side of the family are all fluent, but I'm the only one of my generation that even studied it, and I'm far from fluent.

My prediction is that we'll get less, overall, than people are predicting, and it's not going to last very long, unfortunately.

If you've ever been in Lempster you'd know that the directions given to OP could be 9000 different locations. Half those roads are probably muddy pits right about now.

Good to know, thank you!

Years ago I had to help a friend get his wife unstuck because of this. She was following a “shorter” route home via her gps and got mired. I took my 4x4 ranger in the other end and we ended up walking the last 1/4 mile because the “road” turned into a lifted off road trail. We got her unstuck and turned around back the way she came.

☹️ leaving later isn’t an option.

This is always my point about New England conservatives. The hardest red of red New Englander is little snowflake SJW compared to a Bible Belt run-of-the-mill average everyday conservative (hyperbole). Even more so for New Englanders who are catholic and think they are hardcore conservative. The religious right views right wing Catholics as performing conservative cosplay. So when I see the rebel confederate flag in New England I have to sigh, then laugh.

I refuse to understand how you could be so wasteful! Dumping on other people by throwing out two puns at once.

I’ve travelled all over the Midwest. The cities are nice and I enjoy visiting. It’s the small dead towns scattered absolutely everywhere that look like they’re stuck 30 years in the past is what I was talking about. I don’t consider the larger city people “flatlanders”.
