Reply to comment by UncommonSense12345 in Gold deposit potentially worth $3 billion found near Republic by WashingtonPass

And then the urban sophisticates wonder why they are reviled by us poor, knuckle-dragging slobs out here in the rural areas. It's like the Russian Revolution when the urban Socialists didn't understand why the peasants didn't like them.

Oh, wait—I'm in a rural area. I'm supposed to be one of those poor, uneducated rubes incapable of putting together a coherent sentence. I'd probably better not burst their illusion by referencing Bolsheviks canvassing the countryside looking for support from landless peasants.

Ya as someone from a “backwater” county the amount of vitriol towards the people of poorer counties is always very discouraging. Internet people from the city are very “progressively” about their own group/beliefs but so much so of others… smh same can be said for the poor “backwater” people where I’m from too. Seems the divide is only growing bigger and little effort to bridge the gap….

Reply to Meeting my neighbors. by Pizzaparty2022

I moved here about a month ago from California. I found people here much more neighborly tbh, atleast upon the initial move in and first meet. Granted I am in an apartment complex so its hard not to see people, but for the most part everyone was pretty friendly, intro'd themselves and at the very least throw out a "good morning" or a wave.

I think you'll be fine, especially since you're very aware of the possibility that people really won't want to interact much beyond a "hello I'm x" and the occasional greeting.
