Remote work has made it possible for people to live anywhere (depending on job and policy). Some people want to move where it's cheaper, or just a smaller town.
Exactly. People moving from more expensive to less expensive states has been going on for at least my lifetime. Anyone else remember when there wasn’t anything between the Lehi Roller Mills and the prison? I remember as a kid going to a fun water park just above the prison and below widow maker road in Draper. One of my favorite rides used to be driving on what’s now Timp highway from I-15 Timp cave. There wasn’t anything out there and you could see the entire valley. Then Micron built their building. And then things exploded. Anyone else remember that narrow road? Utah in the 80s and early 90s was still a really rural place. Like there were still spaces in-between most towns so it actually mean something if you lived in Riverton, Sandy, etc. Now it’s just all endless sprawl.
Seems really shortsighted, given the whole climate change thing.
There’s a lot to this. My wife does hybrid work. They do it for several reasons:
My father worked at the prison when I was a boy, early/mid 70s, his office was in a trailer inside the outer walls but not where general population could access unless they were brought out by the guards. Which is a preface to telling you that we were taken out there many weekends when he had paperwork to do. And, yeah, there was nothing from like 45th S, maybe even 33rd. Just empty.
Yep. Running a porn website is absolutely the best.

An intro to Mastodon from a relative newcomer!
“So your favorite social media site has been taken over by a bumbling fascist-friendly narcissist.” Mine, too. With Twitter under new management that leaves me very pessimistic about it…skullsinthestars.com
I'm not on Twitter or Mastodon, but I thought this link might come in handy for those who are thinking of switching.

I don't recall ever seeing that site before, but have read parts of a couple of articles, it's a perfect fit for the person who linked there.

It is not really a surprise that many scientists would look favorably toward Mastodon. The values of those who have no regard for the consent of the prey in their sexual pursuits seem to align quite well with the values demonstrated by Mastodon.Speaking of Mastodon, I noticed in recent months that many professional archaeologists were discussing migrating over to Mastodon, doing so, and encouraging others to join them. I see where that is the case in many disciplines:

In this article, we will explore the differences between Mastodon and Twitter, as well as the benefits of using Mastodon for academics.
Some pros and cons:

Dissolving the so-called safety team at Twitter headed by pedophile Yoel Roth, who advocated for opening gay hook-up apps to minors, is proof that Musk is serious. That some scientists are now strongly considering a move to the more pedophile-friendly Mastodon isn't shocking.

Scientific American, the Atlantic, and Nature aren't pro-Trump publications but you are free to do your own searches. No one believes the sciences don't have a problem in that direction. Right, left, center, this year, last year, last decade, you'll find source after source reiterating that issue. If you care to look you'll also see that educators, a profession to which most of these scientists belong, have a molestation problem. Far more kids are molested by educators each year than by priests, and it isn't close.
The stupid part was the conflation of the sexual harassment of women (a real problem) with pedophilia (not a problem in the sciences). Only a self-blinded, unthinking, stupid-by-choice person would think the issues are related.
However, not in the spaces the scientists are leaving Twitter for. The fundamental architecture of Mastodon means that you'll won't see child porn unless you go looking for it.
Supporting a political agenda with false claims that it protects children is older than anyone here in this forum. You're not fooling anyone, except maybe yourself.
The issues are identical. They are both sexual pursuits with a disregard for getting consent. The only difference is that in one case the object of sexual desire cannot consent and in the other the object of sexual desire does not consent. The problem in both instances is not with the victims. Drawing distinctions there doesn't change the problem being the exact same of a perpetrator acting on their lusts without consent.
