For me (grew up in detroit) it was seeing bikes casually left in people's front yards. That shit does NOT happen there. Ganked in an instant.

Nah its actually smart depending on how fucked up their main account is.

I don't really try to hide my actual identity all that much, not like I do fucked up shit on reddit but I'm pretty politically opinionated and I sure wouldn't want anyone in Meatspace to know this is my account either.

lmao what

Tell me I'm wrong. Find one specific suggestion that would keep young people here (I'll give you a hint, it's amenities) that doesn't get met with a flood of natives saying "but that will take away the Maine Charm™"

I get it. I'm originally a city boy, and until I moved to Maine 12 years ago I had never lived more than 20 mins from a major metropolitan area.

I'd like to think I could live in even a place like Durham, with my neighbors at least a quarter mile away, but my brain isn't wired for that. I need to be around other people.

So I'm a suburbanite, and that works for me.

I don't disagree, but for example I live next to Durham and it's just barely rural.

It seems rural when you're driving through it, but like, you're 10 minutes from freeport, lewiston, brunswick...

I don't think anyone really thinks of places like that when they say "rural." I don't. I'd absolutely fuck with Durham.

You got downvoted for not wanting to live in a rural area. Fucken funny.

It's not for everyone, or even most people. Definitely not for me- fuck having to drive an hour to get to a grocery store that doesn't also sell gas.

e-waste is the common nomanclature for all of it. Being pedantic is goofy.

You're right this is a global problem. So what are you doing to solve the global problem besides whining that you shouldn't have to shoulder any of the burden of the industry you clearly enjoy the fruits of?

This is not a new conversation, and you have no reasonable rebuttal to it. NIMBYism sucks no matter how many coats of sugar you shellack it with.

Made from locally-sourced, totally environmentally friendly materials, I'm sure.

There is not a thing in your house with a microchip in it that doesn't have raw materials sourced from one of these mines. You thinking you're being cute about the brand doesn't change the calculus that you're still NIMBYing your problems onto other human beings.
