Question, have either of you lived in a rural area before? I am originally from LA and it’s hard to describe how jarring it is to move to a rural area. There is no “quick trip to the store” when the closest one is an hour away. Also I never got used to how limited the selection was once I got out of a big area. You’re right to be concerned about emergencies, the closest dr will probably be a considerable drive away. The internet makes the world feel smaller, but rural areas don’t tend to have faster internet so you might not be able to do things like remote dr visits to compensate for the distance. My in-laws complain constantly about their septic tank, and they cannot use their well water for drinking. It’s a huge lifestyle change and you’re right for being hesitant.

District attorney says he is unable to make a decision and the investigation continues.102·18 days agoAgreed, while I fucking hate the fact that certain individuals have decided that the right to bare arms is more important than the right to life, it is still their right. I disapprove of limiting rights based on which individual uses them. The Utah Legislature needs to figure out if the right to carry firearms is for everyone or go the route California did and ban it because individuals they didn’t like started arming themselves.

Meaning that he was legally allowed to open carry whatever firearm he wished as long as he didn’t point it at anyone. In this case I think the law is more reckless than the individual.

I have yet to meet anyone who legitimately did not understand why a person would want to be called their preferred name, or why someone would want to marry who they love. It seems to just be a way to feel out if the person they’re talking to is amenable to list to their “discomfort” with whichever group they are referring to.

earlgrey0@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else just not give a shit about their health anymore?41·3 months agoI can’t disagree that things are shit, but that’s not a reason to treat yourself like shit. Even if you don’t have a long life, going to the grave with tense af shoulders isn’t comfortable either. If you’re able, stretching and walking in the sunshine will at least add some comfort. Nothing is good but that’s no excuse to be an accelerationist to destroy your body.
earlgrey0@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•if you wear pantyhose, doesn't it hurt your belly? where do I buy low rise pantyhose?1·5 months agoHigh rise pantyhose tend to be very comfortable as long as it isn’t too hot. They’re nice because they don’t slide down. Most have some extra elastic that helps keep your belly looking smoother and flatter, as well as keeping the lines from showing.
My issue with low rise is that if it’s not up to your waist there’s a higher risk of them sliding down. It’s super uncomfortable when you’re walking and the crotch of your pantyhose is now halfway down your thigh. There’s no good way to fix it either without going to the bathroom to adjust. Slipping does depend quite a bit on your build, the pantyhose size and type, and the brand, so trial and error will find you the best ones.
Best of luck finding good hose!
Watching what that monster has started in my hometown has me reaching a little deeper to dredge up more hate. Every single day.
