    Astronomers had a hard time looking into the night sky, so our street lights are high pressure sodium, and are very dim. This allows observers to view the heavens more clearly.
    That's a mega fine "lick" observatory.
    Wouldn't mind taking a glance thru that.
    Amazing the reach into space we can see now thru opticals.

      I consider myself one of the most enlightened, educated and reasonable mother****ers alive and I go wherever my heart takes me. Today it might be here, next year it might be there.

      I can do that because I'm free.

        But, what about butler? Slobberts ? Butler put a man on the moon, and Julia has a PhD in electrical engineering!

        I just want to chill, and someday smoke great weed.

          Your enlightened is Farrakhan, Reverends Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, right ?

              I'm in the bible belt--large city.






              And Im just tryin to get an idear where in tarnation you live. I reckon either St Louis or Cincinnati and maybe Kansas City are about the only big cities thats both Biblebelt and Midwest but then them are all libtard blue cities in states that aint all that hyper religious.

              And you want to move to some place with a mild dry climate without the need of survival courses and expensive stuff. You mentioned New Mexico so maybe a border town but then there's a lot of cold mountains and hot deserts down there.

              It was a tricky one but Im narrowin it down to somewhere around the outskirts of Sin City as the place you oughta be. Lots of boxing and tourist areas including San Diego not too far

                The Midwest and the south are kinda backwards once you leave the major cities but that is most places. So I assume you want to move to a liberal city like Boston, San Francisco, Austin or Seattle? I rather move to a place with good gun laws, cheap and near the water and casinos.

                  Samuel Beckett an Irish avant-garde novelist, playwright, theatre director, poet, and literary translator who lived in Paris for most of his adult life. A hallmark of modernism, as distinct from postmodernism, experimental, radical, or unorthodox. The avant-garde pushes the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. The avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of modernism, as distinct from postmodernism. Many artists have aligned themselves with the avant-garde movement and still continue to do so, tracing a history from Dada through the Situationists to postmodern artists such as the Language poets around 1981

                  The ethico-politics of h0mo-ness: Beckett's How It Is and Casement's Black Diaries: In recent years, Beckett studies has taken an ‘ethical turn’ as critics have given increased attention to the status of the Other and otherness in the writer's oeuvre. How It Is, a key text for these critics, was written as Beckett was reading the newly published Black Diaries of Roger Casement, a volume that contains ****erotic content long considered scandalous for the Irish republican icon and yet offers a remarkable vision of social relations structured around sameness or what Leo Bersani calls ‘h0mo-ness’. Reading Beckett's novel alongside Casement's diaries reveals the significance of How It Is for thinking an ethico-politics that depends neither on the ideological foundations of the nation-state nor on critical perspectives that emphasise the primacy of difference, but rather on a fundamental reorientation of sociality. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/...nalCode=cisr20

                  the Ancient Order of Hibernians and other like-minded organizations banded together, thought back fondly on their 19th century prejudices, and shouted an authoritarian “NYET!” There were all kinds of excuses (“Gays can march, but they can’t do so under a banner”), but everyone knows the real reason. The one word answer was In his book, “Samuel Beckett: The Last Modernist”, Anthony Cronin wrote “It might be accurate to say that his [Beckett’s] relationship with MacGreevy had, though it was not sexual, an element of the ****-erotic in it, as indeed some of Beckett’s later relationships were to have.” https://www.irishcentral.com/opinion...dice-remaining

                  Molloy's apostrophe to the anus prompts Peter Boxall in "Beckett and h0moeroticism" to ask "could the rectum, as a site of transgressive sexuality and a site of hom0erotic desire, be the portal to [...] a new relationality?" (118).

                  Samuel Beckett Society: Third Annual Conference
                  ight we account for the enduring oddness of Samuel Beckett’s work: its eccentric relationship to the normal? What can queer theory or disability theory, to take only two examples, bring to our ongoing re-evaluations of Beckett’s achievements? Are we still witnessing what Peter Boxall, in 2004, termed ‘an extraordinary instance of mass denial’ in relation to the queerness, the sustained h0moerotic charge, of Beckett’s work?
                  https://samuelbeckettsociety.org/201...al-conference/

                  A bit of trivia: Beckett was almost stabbed to death by a ****sexual pimp and the charges were dropped..hmm He also babysat Andre the Giant

                  Bottom line is that you are most inspired by a bisexual revolutionist who used stealthy codes

                      I'm surrounded by hayseeds in the Midwest. Collective IQ of a bowl of bleach.

                      I feel like a man without a country. I want to live around smart people who have common sense and aren't hypocrites.

                      Am I doomed?

                      What are the best cities for capitalist minded misanthropes?
                      Probably anywhere in Louisiana 😁
