minus-square@BrianTheeBiscuiteerlink1•6 months agoWhat’s keeping me here is: Family Good food Decent weather (not a fan of cold weather) Low cost of living Southern hospitality (helps if you’re a WASP) The nearest non-shitty state is pretty damn far Everything else about the state pretty much sucks ass.

minus-square@BrianTheeBiscuiteerlink2•6 months agoTrue. New Mexican food is good. Have a little concern with their gun policies but doesn’t seem too far off from Texas anyway.
minus-squareAFK BRB ChocolatelinkEnglish2•6 months agoNo, doesn’t seem worse than Texas. Their police (at least in Albuquerque) seem terrible, but the people are nice and it’s reasonably liberal. Our kid is non-binary and there getting their PhD. They’ve have a pretty good experience.
