    If you moved to small isolated city...

    If you moved to small isolated city that was almost perfect except your neighbors all belonged to a deadly cult that believe something like the world is flat would you stay or move?

    Keep in mind that this place is a dream to YOU in every way except you live amongst a cult who if found out you disagreed they they would likely harass, shun you and eventually put you to death.

    Hell no. Good luck to the loonies. I am too bad at hiding myself and value the regular exchange of co2 for oxygen too much.

    None of that adjusts for the risk of my being a massive asshole and thereby exposing myself, which is a high probability event.

    nah man. no amount of "perfection" is worth living surrounded by idiots.
    Blood Elves were based on a STRONG request from a poll of Asian players where many remarked on the Horde side that they and their girlfriends wanted a non-creepy femme race to play (Source)

    Even working a few days in retail and you will realize most people are loony already so why not live somewhere idyllic like that where all you have to do is feign interest or belief in their cult.

    As long as you don’t break any cardinal rules you are fine. Just have to stay quiet about a few things.

    How do they fund basic services without taxes?

    And no, I could never refrain from dunking on Flat Earthers. I'd be dead within hours.

    The question makes no sense at all to me. Kind of inherent to my idea of a perfect place to live is that it not be infested by a deadly cult that might at any time kill me. Good food and open spaces aren't enough.
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    Understood and your answer makes sense. Just means it’s a no.

    I have seen to many movies with doomsday cults and after having played Farcry 5 I am not gonna fuck with anything cult related.

    I wouldn't want to live in a small isolated city anymore than I already have. I lived in Pierre SD for 3 years and it's as isolated as it gets and it sucked balls.

    I mean i already live in a small town ( slightly under 6,000 people ) 45 min travel to places is a pain in the ass to be honest. I would also say they are very cult like in the thought process, they kind of have that ideology when handed the different.

    Yep, the choices would seem to be 1) stay. I can't see that ending well. 2) go full action movie hero and destroy the cult. At my age and injured ... not without close air support. 3) pack as little as possible and try to get out. Option 3 it is!

    Nope, because my kids would eventually inadvertently rat me out.

    Well, no . I'd rather live in a place where I'm surrounded by mentally capable and respectable people even if that meant living in a gray big city.
    Also I lived most of my life in a small city , you couldn't rip a fart without people on the other side of town already talking about it. People are bored and gossip too much in small cities

    Yet even living in mediocrity you are still surrounded by idiots.

    Myself, I wouldn't care, I keep to myself. The idiots can do as they please as long as we don't get in each others way. I already live in a part of my City that is full of Religious people on one side and socialists on the other, so it would be no different really.

    Yeah Id do it no problem.

    People already believe a ton of asinine stuff that you have to go along with
