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.
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.
Clippy!
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.
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.
It didn’t sound high and mighty to me. She left a position of influence and (some small amount) of power just when shit is starting to get real. Fair weather patriot. Best of luck in Toronto. I’ll stay here with the hundreds of millions for whom leaving isn’t a viable option.
Now who’s the arm chair captain?
My sentiments exactly.
That’s a shit lesson to take from 33. My takeaway is don’t let the brown shirts win. I’m not running from my country with my tail between my legs.
Fascists can fuck off, in fact 70 7 millions just assembled to say just that.
Edit: I didn’t think staying in my country of birth and fighting for freedom and decency would be such a hot button issue.
To all of you who felt the need to be condescending I’d just say tighten up and show some backbone. Real disappointing. So you may be shot and sent to a gulag. You wouldn’t be the first, probably not the last. Try not to let fear and righteousness dictate your feelings.
To a t!! Happy Lemmy day you glorious nerds!!!
You can drill a hole in the evaporation pan. Be real careful not to put a hole in any coils though! And watch what you’re gonna drip onto. Don’t be a jerk about it if you’re in an apartment building. It will have a slight impact on efficiency, but beats tf out of mold
They’re rent seeking douchbags who don’t add value to shit. If there was ever an advertisement for full on vodka and cigarettes for breakfast bolshevism it’s these assholes.
Wall mart killed your community. We used to have walkable neighborhoods, instead we’ve salted the earth with parking lots and bigbox stores
Archive.is is pretty good. Not 100% but usually works
