More likely it would make things awkward with friends and neighbors. That was a whole thing in Floridian retirement communities people would straight up rock Trump stickers but voted Biden so they wouldn’t be ostracized.

"I would love to live here"photo looks like a typical suburb - with a population density that is at a level where everyone still needs to own a car. I’m thinking European cities like Bern. Most people don’t need one to get to work but basically every household still needs one for non-work use.

Car-free population density should be more like minor Japanese cities (like Kanazawa, etc), or old towns in Europe (downtown Bordeaux).

Tool cabinets are a marvelous thing. I have a little thing squirreled away in a drawer of other tools, just the top of a box that a screen protector came in, that is just full of tiny specialized precision tools that I very seldom need.

AuDHD, always took the hard road on life and ended up tangential to sales. A lot to learn from sales people, every day all day is rejection and their #1 talent is being upbeat and optimistic in the face of rejection. Knowing, really internalizing, that it doesn’t actually matter because there are a million other opportunities.

Personally I find the best mitigation is having multiple attempts at whatever I’m highly likely to get rejected by in parallel. Multiple dates, multiple job interviews, multiple work projects, multiple sales pitches, etc. When there’s hope it feels different.

Over a hundred job interviews made for good exposure therapy, if I’m rejected at something important that I’m emotionally bought into I’ll still be devastated, but the key is to have something to hope for that’s independent of the rejection.

At least that’s what helps me. YMMV.

They could have just voted Republican if they were just going to oppose the same policies they voted for…
