Freedom fries and ho-downs

We're a long way from famine. We may have to eat food we're unaccustomed to. We may be forced into vegetarianism. Lots of grains, whatever vegetables can be harvested mechanically. But the amount of food this continent can produce is truly phenomenal.

A garden is a good idea

Thank you! This argument that we should love immigrants because they will "do the work no one else wants" has never sat right with me. It's more like no sane and rational person would do this work, in these conditions, for this pay.

What does it say about us that we need an endless stream of impoverished brown people to make our society functional? We can't build our own buildings, harvest our own crops?

We've got a real nasty history and habit of coerced labor in this country.

Credit unions are the way to go. Seriously if your reading this and have an account with a mega corp, go to a credit union. Start with a checking account, in time you can migrate all your other stuff over. Better deals on loans, and they're not predators. And you have a better chance of not enriching the billionaire class while you're at it.

Obviously!

Lol a guy at a shop I worked at did this. He had already given his two weeks notice, but he got fired anyways. People were sooo pissed. Lol there weren't enough toilets for everyone who got it to use at once. I thought it was hilarious and well deserved, they actually gave me a talking to for laughing out loud about it.

Get a camper and try it for a season. You might love it you might hate it. But you'll have some idea of the million little details that make living in a bumfuck rural area difficult. Getting groceries, medical care, just seeing other people.

I've known people who thought they loved living in the middle of nowhere and end up putting in several hundred driving miles per week because they would come to town on the slightest pretext, because they were bored and felt cooped up. Rural life was not for them. Are you the sort who cannot go anywhere for a week plus and be happy about it?

You'll also see the stars every night, hear the wind and come to know the land. Pros and cons. Try before you buy.

Presumably so the people can dismantle the surveillance capabilities of a government turned fascist.

I buy a bottle of whatever brand water, then use the bottle till it springs a leak. I get anywhere from a month to a yr plus. No water bottle should be single use. The amount of waste we take for granted is just fucking sinful.

Clippy!

Lol you can tell how old this picture is because no one has those asshole, melt your face led headlights.

Too late, ya been judged!

A portable speaker. What public space are you going to pollute with your noise?

That oompa lumpa of ours just wants to drop a nuke. I vote we not and tell him we did. Also all of his press conferences and appearances henceforth will be accompanied by a 90's sitcom style laugh track.

Believe it biach, were all cousins, on our mamas side

I would be very interested in an answer to this as well. Also any how to guides that would be useful for a guy whose technical high-water mark was getting mint set up on my laptop.

Lol I forgot about jeeves, the Internet butler! Oh how he buttled!!
