These seem like a good idea at first. Then you realize the amount of work it takes to maintain the land. For farming you need good soil conditions, water, keep pests and weeds away. By the time you’ve done it all, you will have made food that has to be sold for 5x - 10x the grocery store prices or you’re paying yourselves like $3 an hour. You’re literally better off working a minimum wage job and buying grocery store food.

If you aren’t trying to farm and just want to do the commune thing, land maintenance is still work. Theres reasons suburbs are all paved, nature is always trying to retake whatever it can reach. I have just a few acres and I constantly fall behind on maintenance tasks. I have a career and a family, and the land keeps being the thing that falls to the lowest priority.

“Writers would be fine, I choose to believe”.

Everyone thinks their job is different from the others. They may be right, they may be wrong.*

I just got a harness adapter that disables the radio in my car without any side effects.

This isn’t a platform dunce.

Did you get retribution?

Stop using it entirely.

I actually do. Gen Z is lost. Social media, COVID, they got fucked.

In California schools have banned cell phones starting next school year. More laws blocking kids under 18 or 16 from using social media are popping up around the world. I think alpha is going to have a shot.

“I have a psychiatrist I see for other purposes.”

Its up to you.

Valheim can’t even run well on a steam deck.

If we let asthma take everyone with asthma, for how much longer would we have to worry about asthma?

Or embrace savory cereal and put cheese, sour cream and hot sauce into oatmeal. Trust me.

But you’re wrong Karen. What if a kid was playing in the leaves and they drove over them? The driver is at fault.
