2022 LC Thread—New Year, New Thread

Dentistry is a racket and surprisingly little of it is evidence-based. You should obviously get your teeth checked every once in awhile for cavities and whatnot, but the frequent cleanings and x-rays and scaling and such are primarily done to make boat payments.

I think there might be some reasonable middle ground between several times a year and over half a century.

Ohio ad campaign targets Seattle ‘tech bros’ — questions why someone would want to stay in a big coastal city

001

I’m all for forcing a million techies to move to Ohio and unfuck our country.

Pretty big assumption that they wouldn’t just become run of the mill Ohio deplorables.

They have billboards all over Austin to everyone’s great amusement.

The tone of that commercial isn’t even very positive for Ohio, it has more of a “Get Out” vibe to it. RUN TECH BRO RUN!

That’s the billboards too lol. One of them is literally x days of sun isn’t worth very much if you have to work all the time… Ohio!

Columbus isn’t bad but the rest of Ohio is just awful.

Columbus also costs what the Austin suburbs did in ~2019 in terms of what 250k buys you.

While I don’t necessarily disagree with you because flipping Ohio blue would change everything. We’re fucked if that’s what it takes though. It is very hard for me to imagine someone born and raised in Seattle would voluntarily move to anywhere in Ohio. The other cohort I think they are trying to target is those that drained the brain of their rural midwestern towns and left to Seattle in search of high paying jobs (tech jobs). Moving back to the Midwest for these people is a sign of failure and must be avoided at all costs.

Right, that’s why I said we need to force them to move to Ohio. Obviously nobody’s going to want to move there.

LOL, we don’t want your techbros moving here; they can fuck right off back to San Francisco.

Oh yeah, that’s the other news. To make room for the tech bros, you’re being moved to San Francisco.

Overheard at work - “This can’t be Indian food because it has meat in it! They are all vegetarian over there!” Mother fucker have you heard of Chicken Tiki Masala or Goat Curry? Do you realize the population of India? Just the dumbest people man.

This is at least as British as it is Indian.

Like anyone needs to make room for anyone to live in Ohio. “You move here? Take that house, no one there 10 years.”
