I ate at Boss Oysters* there one time when I told my boss I was in Alligator Pointe looking at some land, and he said to go to Apalachicola to get oysters. I was surprised with the Jamaican attitude there because that's Trumpmerikkka right there. But yes, it was cool. I also like the islands down there (St George/St. Vincent). But it's like once you get east of Panama City, it's not really the Gulf anymore, it's saltwater marsh and pretty crappy until you get down to St. Pete Beach or so which is several hours around the curve of the armpit.
* Once upon a time Apalachicola Oysters ruled the world. They were always fresh and salty and delicious even though they are the same variety of oyster you get anywhere on the Gulf, just saltier because of the distance from the MS River. I can't remember if they had Texas or Louisiana oysters, but they were from the central/western Gulf. I think there's some point that the FF&WS is opening those beds back up - 2025 or 2026 maybe?
Yeah I do a lot of work around the area. I know what you mean about the "armpit" its not developed, no beaches, and not much entertainment. However, it is one of the last and largest pristine undeveloped coasts in the SE US. Do a lot of estuary work and it is incredibly beautiful. On the same stretch of river I've seen otters, alligators, dolphins, and manatees in the same day. It really is wonderful but you need a boat to get the most out of it.
Also re: Apalachicola Oysters, there's a big ongoing dispute about that between Florida and Georgia. Florida thinks Georgia is taking too much water and it's leading to severely degraded conditions for oysters. I think the case might have gone up to the Supreme Court. But yeah there's a lot of restoration work going on, so hopefully there will be a comeback. Would be good for the area after so many bad storms
We need more people who think their city sucks. All of your cities can’t be the best.
I think DC should be about 6th. Will probably get passed by a few shittier cities because a lot of people have only experienced DC on an 8th grade field trip to see the monuments and think it’s “soulless,” but 6th would be about right.
counter-counterpoint, even if youre living in a blue city in one of those states, youre still affected by those bad laws
counter counter-counterpoint: exactly, so why should we deny those affected by those bad laws the prestige of an inforoo survivor win?
for real though your point is valid as a basis for deciding your vote, i just wanted to point out that state bad does not mean city within state bad.
my point was moreso that in terms of living in a city, having a lack of reproductive rights and further discrimination should factor heavily in whether or not that city is a good place to live

as far as city specific issues, look anywhere with a shortage of housing and you'll find NIMBY policies behind it. zoning only for detached single family housing, not allowing upbuilds, etc.

Yes, would hate to put down roots in Houston only to have to move to give my kid gender affirming medical care. Also like having them in a school where the existence of same sex marriage can be acknowledged
Denver's STAR program, which dispatches mental health professionals instead of cops to certain 911 calls, which started in 2020, has been so successful they're increasing it 5 fold. Denver also eliminated qualified immunity.

and to expand a bit, i was also thinking of not just living someplace but visiting a city and spending money there. like i don't want to punish houston for the sins of it's state. if i was moving somewhere i'd consider the state government, but in terms of vacation it doesn't really come into my calculation so long as the city is cool.

We liked DC. It felt even hotter than home somehow but it was fun and all the food we had there was good.

My favorite thing about survivor is that the first couple days are so damn spicy, and then the middle is weak, then chaotic, then it finds its groove to the “inevitable end”. What a way to check out of work on the daily

occasionally there is some excitement in the middle/end. i've definitely gone to sleep thinking something was done for sure then woke up to a late night vote dump. but yeah generally you got the pattern down.
i like it that each survivor brings out at least one crazy inforoo'er belief in some way. like jortles in sitcom survivor stating confidently that "actually, comedy is bad".

If we do a Survivor (the band) Survivor, that will be me.

Seems like there’s less room this time for something like that to pop up, but who knows, here’s hoping we get a “Honolulu is actually a part of the Philippines” or something like that.
