Always hard to find info where the author is tripping on techno-hopium.

Honestly, higher number than I would've guessed.

Road noise pisses me off. I try and listen to my bird friends sing and it's constantly interrupted by the noise of tires on the road. Like, the city I live in is under 7k. How the fuck is so much driving happening?

The Honest Outlaw seems to be an alright gun reviewer. But I haven't watched a ton of videos yet.

Blackjack County Chain by Charley Crockett might be my current favorite.

I am really uncomfortable with eye contact and I think that has everything to do with my father demanding eye contact as he screamed, literally inches from my face, at me after hitting me. I'd like to make eye contact more but it makes me deeply uncomfortable. You're not alone on this struggle.

Bet all the pro-civ anarchists would be willing to create a town together and volunteer for this for the greater good.

Don't worry says the red anarchist, we'll grow food indoors.

Is there enough land you could rent a backhoe and build a large runoff pond? Turn half of it into wetland?

I had a cousin with a tamed racoon once. Definitely seems to be a rural thing. Has squirrels too at one point.

My job is changing my hours for the 3rd time in a year. More later shifts after each change. Less time with the family after each change. Feel stuck. Living in the city is killing me. I need the money this job pays to get out of the city, but it's killing me. Feel like all I get to do is choose which death I want. If I didn't have a family I'd buy a small piece of land and rough it.

So next year, as these reports are always ridiculously optimistic.

Demon Slayer is great but Zenitsu is problematic.

Been awhile since I watched Claymore (and only read one volume) but I don't remember anything particularly sexist in it.

They make tents that can be used with a wood burning stove. May be worth looking into for a short term housing situation. Some states are pretty lax with outhouses. That'll get you started. I'm super envious of you. This is totally what I'd do if I didn't have a family.

And the continued deportation of Haitian asylum seekers. I genuinely try to treat everyone but actual fascists with some grace but these lesser evil people are losing that grace by the minute.

I loved Alpha Centauri when I was younger.

6 weeks is when the first heartbeat is possible. Arbitrary as hell but authoritarians don't need reason when exerting power.

You could make that argument if you assumed the worst about your conversation partner, I suppose. I just see it as consequences of civilization that's worth considering. But when have pro-civvers ever given anyone the benefit of the doubt?

The pedo grandad and drugs are still the same though 🥺

I can't do eye contact due to eye contact being weaponised by my violent father. He'd demand you look him in the eye then scream at the top of his lungs letting you know what a useless piece of crap you were. For good measure knuckles wrapping the crown of your head was usually the closing move.

Probably could be worder better but I don't think it's click bait. Minimum wage workers working full time cannot afford rent anywhere in the US is the point. Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone though.

Not abandoning the coasts, the SW and the SE is the height of arrogance.
