how to make people of gender stop moving to the pacific northwest
@nyx sell me on somewhere else babe, seattle just seems really cool and the climate acceptable
@ciel @nyx New Hampshire. For me it's a close call, I like the fact the PNW is a lot larger and you can get further from cities, but having a 70s car with a "Live Free or Die" license plate and an SLR in the back is a beautiful thought
@ciel @Arcana @nyx i literally never fathomed that moving to nh would be a concept on anyones mind at all
@arts @Arcana @ciel @nyx
you kidding me?
fucking mountains
no sales tax
Hampton Beach's beach
Devil's Den
Cannon Mt / Bretton Woods

fucking rivers off the side of random highways you can go swimming in and even drink from without getting poisoned

hardly any fucking traffic


i can't count how many times or how many people i've heard talk about moving up there, or actually move there.

if you wanna disappear for a few days, you legit just drive down any road and end up deep in the wilderness.

literally only negatives to NH are property taxes and the fact you don't have actual urban centers for good shopping, would have to amazon a lot of shit or burn gas coming down to MA
@bitterblossom @Arcana @ciel @nyx

> coming down to MA

dont get me started on the fucken massholes
@arts @Arcana @ciel @nyx kek
sounds to me like you don't know how to drive on the highway properly
Follow

@bitterblossom @Arcana @ciel @arts @nyx people from Massachusetts drive so fucking slow because their speed limits are insanely low so they just get used to it and drive like that (not that I would know)

@Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @Arcana @ciel @arts @nyx in the South, the speed limit is 20 miles over the speed limit. I've been passed on the right going 80 in a 55 more than once.

@Sudodeme @Jazzy_Butts @Arcana @ciel @arts @nyx legally the fines start at 10 over, and the cops expect typical traffic to be 10-15 over.
off the highway.
school zones you don't fuck around in though.

highway rules are much different. you can easily burn 80-90 as long as you aren't driving erratically or makng an asshole out of yourself compared to everyone else.
@arts @Arcana @ciel @Jazzy_Butts @Sudodeme @nyx i distinctly remembering suffering some kinda 50mph limit on a highway in NH

but yeah, once you hit the 75+ limits, actual driving speed is like 90+

for massholes who drive up there anywhere.
oddly enough, NH cops are stricter about ticketing speeders, and some people just don't comprehend what happens when you're on frosty mountain roads doing that sort of speed and it starts to curve and you start to slide....

nobody fucking teaches their kids to drive in snow and ice anymore. been too long since we had a real winter.
@bitterblossom @Arcana @ciel @Jazzy_Butts @Sudodeme @nyx nothing is funnier to me than seeing atlanta get like 0.1 inches of snow and people somehow figure out how to create 75-car pileups from it
@arts @Arcana @ciel @Jazzy_Butts @Sudodeme @nyx
funny, until you're driving commercially, trying to respond to an emergency hazmat spill somewhere, and you legally have to be on-site and dealing with the situation within three hours of the call.

and it already takes almost two hours just to get to the shop, load trucks, figure out where the hell you're going, and try to slip by or through boston to get there.

...honestly miss that job, but i do not miss the fucking traffic.

@arts @Arcana @ciel @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom @nyx its 75 on the highway-highways around here too, but this place leads into town so it's lower.

@Jazzy_Butts @Arcana @ciel @arts @nyx literally the exact opposite.

you're a rude piece of shit if you aren't going 10 over the speed limit on regular roads (except HIGH density urban where it drops to 20mph). on the highways, you better fucking be going at least 80mph or you hug that right lane for dear life and let everyone pass you without fucking complaining.

@bitterblossom @Arcana @ciel @arts @nyx maybe I'm thinking of Connecticut, they have too similar a vibe for me

@Jazzy_Butts @Arcana @arts @ciel @nyx
the real assholes are the ones who cut you off and go slower than you were already going.
those are the guys that cause accidents and earn middle fingers and road rage.

(those guys are also usually wearing NY or FL plates)
