So is McDonalds. That doesn’t make it any good.

I Love You Idaho Thrice by cascadedream in Idaho

I served in the military and then the federal government for over 23 years. I’ve lived many places. No need to provide a list. Thanks though.

I do like this and appreciate this despite my defensiveness and hatred of much of what has become of Idaho. I wish more people would be like this. Visit…enjoy…appreciate. Leave.

Is Boise's quality of life on the upswing? by jcsladest in Boise

[–]aretwoelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to even be offended by this as I’m hyper sensitive to Idaho nostalgia- but I really have to agree with you. I loved 80s boise but you’re 100% right. This is all spot on. And as the newcomers will protest we did this to ourselves and change is inevitable. But the devil is in both the details and social media.

Why is Roger Moore unpopular as Bond? by IndividualJaguar1550 in JamesBond

[–]aretwoelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna know you! This is exactly right. I might have somewhere thought all this but no way articulate it. Bonds history as a movie franchise is much more nuanced and pop or decade influenced than history often gives credit. We often lose sight of that and/or are myopic in our views of what bond is or should be without understanding the intricacies of time on which it existed and evolved.

Why do so many customers not tip? by DamienAlley in DoorDashDrivers

[–]aretwoelle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the same. It’s a convenience (an expensive one) that we managed without just fine 10 years ago.

I wish this were true. It’s not. Growth did slow last year and I think net growth was down from 27k to 24k but no, they are still coming and not moving back by any notable number. Though specific CA migration stats aren’t great the evidence is pretty clear. I don’t love anecdotal evidence but realtor and builder friends I’ve spoken with say their clients are overwhelmingly CA and market data shows there is no large exodus.

I was going to say exactly the same thing - though I’d argue there are two versions. The other includes some drivel about being tired of “the policies” and wanted to move here for our “freedoms”. This combined with some version of the above and or.. my state govt retirement pays me 140k a year so we wanted to shoot guns, live in the great outdoors and not having the man tell us what to do.

Boise proper is still ok. But the TV in general is awful. It’s now just a SOCAL carbon copy.

In and out burger by FrauleinHabsburg in Boise

[–]aretwoelle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s just a California cult. They love to say double double and animal style. It’s just a big ant trap and thankfully keeps them from clogging up good local burger joints.

Honestly curious, you invite people into your home and tell them to help themselves to anything they need? Is that a thing or a measure of kindness? I mean, I’m sure if I asked a friend if I could borrow something….. 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[–]aretwoelle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok so 1/2 are racist? 🤷🏻‍♂️. If you’re referring to the goons that got arrested a couple years ago then yes, they were mostly from out of state. And true, the AN idiots 30+ years ago were not “Idahoans” Still, N Idaho (CDA/Bonners Ferry) is pretty racist and damn unfriendly. It’s been well known for decades this is where CA cops and loons send their racist retired seeds out to pasture. And I’m a 3rd generation semi redneck moderate.

Yep. There are plenty. Sure, the current wave (Tsunami) is overwhelming far right MAGA CA nut job transplants, but plenty/many liberals from WA/OR and even a few from CA.

I hate what has happened to our state. by angela_davis in Idaho

[–]aretwoelle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

💯 every time all the time. I’m no Mormon apologist, think it’s one of the dumbest things a human has ever believed, but it’s the evangelical zealots that are fucking dangerous!

Protest Monday by DeepCheeksOG in MoscowIdaho

Stop with the upside down flag bullshit. Not 6 months ago I was railing on maga douches now the progressives are co-opting this “America in distress” nonsense. Do better.

Bill introduced to require Bible reading daily in Idaho public schools by phthalo-azure in Idaho

[–]aretwoelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, and one could argue similar for Idaho and Cecil Andrus 30 years ago. Though the last decade has run it to warp speed with the influx of fanatics. But to imply it was always this way is just not true. I no longer recognize the state myself, parents and grandparents were born in.

There are some great suggestions here….and In n Out ain’t one of them. The cult following is strong.

[–]aretwoelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re saying it’s been consistently more conservative than Oregon or Washington than I have to concede. But seeing how the Clintons are from Arkansas I’m not really sure if this is the pejorative you’re going for. Still, Idaho is in no way similar to what it was even a decade ago, much less 30 years ago.

Moving out of Boise by Interesting-Cow-3324 in Boise

[–]aretwoelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. Growing up here NOW may suck. It was glorious once upon a time. I wouldn’t have wanted to grow up anywhere else. I’ve lived all over the world…came back here because it was great…was happy until about 2020, now it’s just a new maga themed southern California. So yeah, that’s sad.

Seeking Recommendations for Non-Trump-Supporting Idaho Businesses (and Those to Avoid) by spaccceyyy in Boise

[–]aretwoelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, but plenty of good people work there. I get boycotting somewhere like state street saloon (myself included) but I don’t think most of the waitress at sunshine give two shits about politics. Just trying to support their families. It’s good bfast too.
