If that's a porto-potty that you're in, do whatever it takes to not need to enter one anymore.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

What porto-potties do you use that have a massive window on it?

OP edited the photo after that comment

Well, that makes their comment make sense.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I lied- I photoshopped the portapotty version

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Fucking AntiTherapyGary over here messing with my perception of reality!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Lol sorry, I got secondhand embarrassment and wanted to help them out

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hahahah should have kept the lie up, I'm fine with looking like a dumbass, it's kinda my gimmick.

"...but... that's where all my shit is."

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Speak for yourself. I prefer the one at my work. Quiet, arguably cleaner. It's the superior choice for me.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

All of the above. At least that's how I feel anyway.

Move into the wilderness. Carve out my own patch and claim it as my own country (with a population of 2...me and my dog)

I'm automatically the only politician since my dog is horribly corrupt and terrible with taking bribes.

Why not do all 4?

Can even skip all the red tape by proclaiming yourself king of your improvised earthen shelter

No bunker is complete without an N64 and MarioKart.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Putting the "fun" in "bunker" since 2073...

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

I'm headed for the middle of nowhere. Building an rv, filling up hard drives, and just gonna fuck off til 2026, or longer.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Have you considered prepping? Genuinely

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago

Kinda, for a long time. But for what? I don't think there will be a SHTF, just a slow boil of increasing authoritarianism, growing class inequality, and failing climate. I'd rather build a earthship. But don't have money to do either of those things.

what do you mean filling up HDs?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Media; music, movies, series, ROMs. Offline offgrid entertainment.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Must be fucking nice to have options!

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Run for office. I would, if I didn't have a lot of skeletons that could derail me. We need new, young candidates.

I was planning to emigrate four four years. It's only that I landed in a relationship with someone who can't go with me that I'm still here.

I stopped talking to my mother. She voted for this shit. Again. Fuck her.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Run for office is the noble thing. But lately with all the crime all the way to the top, I think hmm maybe I should just commit a few felonies. Get rich off the backs of losers. That's what we do in America right?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Robin Hood that shit. Get money from idiots and fund a food bank.

It worked for Capone. Just don't commit tax fraud at the same time. The IRS don't mess around (unless you're rich enough to control them).

I fled the country because basically everyone in the administration is signaling for my death. While I do miss my friends and community every day, I don't regret leaving.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

That guy is my fuckin type, I tell ya hwat

(men who look like this are straight nearly 100% of the time, I live in hell)

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I have a friend who looks like this, works in nuclear engineering, is a FANTASTIC fire performer, is kinky as shit, and is bi. Don't give up hope.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I've recently been talking to a friend of mine about both starting a business and fleeing the country. I haven't figured out how to make either work, much less both simultaneously, but eventually the brainstorming is bound to pay off.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Shit... I have this thought every two of three days. Get out of my head

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Omg we all think the same don’t we? The last option I think of is hopefully dying soon.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Go for a full-board bingo blackout, I say. ✊🏼

I'm from the country that is all the way achieved what US is on the path to. The advice that I would give myself from the past: run the fuck away, you can't fix it, when your country slips to authoritarianism and half of it actively appload it, you can either run away and live, or stay and suffer for nothing. Whatever patriotic bullshit was shat into your head is abusive absurd, you don't owe your life to whatever land you were born on.
If you have skills to work, look for a job abroad, if you don't - learn, learn languages, and run the fuck away.
