  • Im a bit mixed with this because yeah if it was going to be conserved with stewardship given to native hawaiians or some such then it would be great. On the other hand if its going to be turned into hawaii's first great coal mine....

  • Minivans and specifically the no longer made grand caravan (the ruined the design a bit with the pacifica). For two people you can do no prep camping. Throw whatever you think you might want in the back. Get to site and backup to the firepit. Throw all the stuff you brought in the driver and passenger seat and open the back. If its raining you can sit on the rear seat facing backwards and the rear door gives you shelter. At night you can just sleep in the back of the van since everything you brought is now in the front seats. Because you can flip seats up and down and such you can sit as you like and easily get the sleeping room. Done some very low prep camping this way. On another note the minivan has about as good a mileage as you get from a non car.

  • Thats not people giving up comfort, that is them losing it. Nobody will rebel due to self sacrifice. Many act to rebel from loss of things that don't directly cause discomfort but they have the cognitive ability to see the long term consequences that will come of it.

  • Its easier because your costs are forward rather than in arears. You can't move before you sell the house because then you will have to pay on it while your trying to figure out expenses in a new place. You need to sell it for more than you owe and you will then need to find temporary housing where you will not have any costs if you need to leave at any particular time which tends to be more expensive. You will need to downsize to a backpacker level as part of this. Not just you but your family. Then you will be applying to try to get somewhere else which may or may not happen. You can start that before but then you might just have to abandon everything. If one has nothing to lose the process is easier. Similarly if you want to have a similar lifestyle in the new country you will have to find an equivalent and likely harder to find job in the new country.

  • I mean its what they want. This whole thing is not about getting rid of folks as much as making sure any folks coming in are ready to bend the knee and actively support the bs. At a minimum stay silent but that may not be enough. Need to loud the ones in power and how good and just they are. Basically the ideal is north korea.

  • I don't think people need to give up comfort. At least not to any reasonable level. We need to make it so that we are doing things efficiently. Passive housing using geothermal/solar/wind and such. People able to afford to live where they can be carless.

  • Actually the lower class has a bit better chance. If you have no home to sell or money to transfer over leaving is a bit easier. If you have enough to set yourself up and then sell what you have that makes it easy. So its like people barely affording their mortgages or have decent jobs that would be hard to replace that get stuck until its to late.

  • we should create such a society with taxation and regularion. resources are finite but we have them left and I agree we have to use them wisely. I often point out that we would get in excess of a barrels worth of oil for every one spent in the heyday of the oil age but now we just get a few but wind/solar/etc lets us recoup way more energy per barrel again.

  • This behavior has been studied awhile and is no surprise to physicists and chemists who have been studying and looking for materials with a greater amount of the properties. The article is great but the title for this post feels like something typical of youtube.

  • If you look at the first panel it seems to me she is delirious at the point they were told to stay seated for takeoff or she was feeling so bad she was pushing herself to get to the bathroom (splash water on face) and losing responsiveness. Reading into these things in a situation is what basic empathy is about.
