Hopefully we don't have to always be dependent on so many other people and services to have basic dignity and sanitation.

People who live off-grid, van/rv/etc., homestead, etc. lifestyles are pioneering a future where we don't need services that aren't likely that great for the environment - such as public sewage, our reliance on fossil fuels to power and heat our homes and electronics, or unsustainable agriculture that isn't in balance with the environment or even nutritionally-dense.

I am grateful to the people who enable our standard of living to survive with some semblance of dignity, and especially those focused on solutions, so we can get to the point of self-sufficiency, sustainability, and balance in our environment as a species and planet.

Shitting in a bucket in a van is less noble than you make it out to be.

I'm so slow, my first reaction was:

What kind of disgusting new behavior are the weirdos getting up to now? Shitting indoors. The very thought of it!

Plumbers, electricians, homebuilders, sanitation workers, and electrical workers. Who'd I miss?

Thank you all for a fine poopie.

I mean, it's almost the entire service and retail economy. Shout out to the driver of the truck that did the delivery to the supermarket of the turkey you'll poop out the next day. We owe everything to everyone.

Merry Christmas and may your next poop be a blessed one.

My response isn’t showing because I’m a dipshit: I said:

I’m with you.

I don’t think I meant to delete my comment; I’ve been drinking too.

The fact that you’re responding to no one makes this top tier

tl;dr: We live in a society

Blizzard?

Climate change is erasing those. Now it's just do shit outside in modest cold

Now we can swim any day in November

Well, just be sure to wear a full body suit to protect from the industrial waste.

Personally I live in Texas so the only people enabling me are the Oil companies ensuring I never see a blizzard, from Global Warming.

Jokes on you, climate change means unpredictable weather, so you'll actually get worse blizzards.

Oh don’t worry, you will
