    I get that life is safer, cleaner, and more comfortable for almost everyone on earth.

    But, I wish I could decide to spend a few months not working and living in the mountains or jungle without any serious work or financial repercussions.

    My wife and I are at a place where we have a long term plan to save and buy land away from the city.

    I can’t wait until I’m out in the country side and and can go outside to nature rather than concrete.

    without any serious work

    this part sadly only works, if you've already worked your ass off beforehand.

    Meh, you can be pretty middle class and afford to take a month or two off of work.

    I could do it with my PTO if I really wanted.

    "worked your ass off beforehand"

    Criticism potentially not valid if you've tricked a corporation to pay you to shitpost.

    👌👍 cope with the reality that 30% of the country are home owners with wealth and not living week to week.

    The best part is there's a lot more ignorance and disingenunity in the statement than that.

    Unless he's just saying homeowners don't work hard for what they have.

    Have you tried being born rich?

    That's what it's being addressed. That a middle class exists and can and do take a month off at a time. They went off into left field. Try to keep up.

    I know your whole schtick is being a bit of a dumb bastard that confuses himself for a rationalist, but the phrase "working their ass off beforehand" applies to the job(s) they work and earned with personal effort and the familial responsibilities they have, unlike the idle rich.

    That sounds wonderful. I often fantasize about living on a mountain side in a cottage with a porch where I sit with my wife on a crisp morning, just enjoying the sun rise, a coffee and the comfort of being in the moment with my closet ally on earth.

    I wish I had the money to do that someday.

    I congratulate you and your wife to make a dream come true. I believe, if you long so much and can make it happen, it will be worth it and it is something to work for.

    Sorry to mislead, we are far from the dream. But we have a plan at the very least and we can, for the first time, really see a path to get there. We still have years and years to go.

    Me when playing Satisfactory. Although I'd rather have a bit of a flatter area

  • [–] 19 points 3 years ago (4 children)

    Nah, the topology is not suited for logistics. Also no infrastructure in the area.

    That's exactly right... For now.

    But if there's coal in that mountain, we can level the whole thing like they do in West Virginia and leave a nice flat spot for an industrial park when we're done.

    Urf, one of the candidates for mayor of the region where I live said that if they won they'd make an industrial park to encourage jobs ... a third of the municipality is a nature reserve, half of it is a literal mountain, and the remainder is small farms. There are no roads big enough for a full size lorry, and there's a large industrial estate in the valley below which provides lots of jobs.

    It just made me wonder if they were that corrupt or simply on drugs.

    I get the point, but I am also obsessed with automation games, so you it says that and I'm like "oh, I can put the hub over there, and a tower on that mountain so I can get a good look at the factory in the valley. Oh, and I hope there is a good water source over around that bend I can put oil there."

    There may be something wrong with me.

    Developers/board members/politicians. It always has to be growth with them until everywhere is the same suburban hell.

    William Cronon’s “The Trouble with Wilderness” should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in conservation or environmental science. It's a great critique of how colonialism has tainted our understanding of what "wilderness" and nature in general is and humanity's role in them.

    Colonialists? You mean "locals" don't have either needs for industries that support human life, or just plain assholes that'll needlessly destroy nature for profit?
