Yeah, bit of land staked off, 5 goats, 5 cows, 15 chickens, fencing and 100 acres of agriculture would do you much better.

The whole time I just pictured myself having a bunker full of in ground freezers with hidden solar panels and they are just chock full of shite gas station sandwiches to ensure they last 50 years. (Hopefully we sort out our agriculture game in a few months or we are just going to all die of malnutrition)


Let’s be honest though, in a complete societal collapse (not likely to ever happen) if I had sandwiches, and you had a block of gold. Your good is worthless unless someone else is willing to trade for it. You come with gold, say it’s worth something, I say meh, maybe 15 pounds for one sandwich, you say no way, you grow weak through starvation I say 20 pounds, you say no way, grow weaker and I say 30 pounds, you say I only had 15, you die of starvation and I bury your currently worthless gold somewhere in case it eventually has value again.


They have been playing ads on TV consistently for them. Hers saying she wants to help try to keep health insurance available, not get premiums raised and help the people of Tennessee.
His saying she’s a radical that was opposed to ICE agents and trying to bully them by blocking them with her car.
His ads have nothing policy based ever said, because it sounds like none of his policies help the people. I guess he is pro tariffs or something, idk


Mozilla is just as big of a scam and has had presence here on lemmy from the beginning. Anyone who thinks FireFox isn’t a remote control car driven by Google and does there bidding is lying to themselves in my opinion. (It will get downvoted here) But if someone pays all your bills to stay alive, you aren’t doing anything but what they say. If Mozilla wants to be a company that has something to say, they need to cut their contracts with Google. Up to 85% of revenue from Firefox comes from Google. Or as people like to say on here… if 20 people sit down at a table, and 17 are “Nazis” the other 3 are as well.
So if Google is bad, Firefox is as well


Squash I can often make last a couple days worth of meals. Depending on the squash you can roast it like a chicken parmesan, just skip the cheese (yikes). My second year here I grew around 100s cucumbers on accident from a 8x4 plot. So I could pickle cucumbers and then dehydrate some for chips, something entertaining for winter snacks


Why would I not get it from strawberries, blackberries and such? I live to far north for oranges and such, not to mention trees take years to mature for harvest. Strawberries I figure I planted a couple years ago and can just expand, blackberries people say spread easily. Broccoli might be an option, I’m not big on collard greens but they are around the area. Spinach should grow here fine. I suppose you could can that stuff as well. I usually do Peppers and tomatoes, but those don’t have vitamin C I dont think.
Forgot, quash/zucchini/cucumbers grow well here.
I’ll have to check what nutrition they have


If there was something else to get out into sure, but as a broke person who can’t invest, I sure wish I had something that will be able to be traded if there is a collapse. My only fall back is my chickens. Figure if all goes to hell I’m sure I can make it a few months off eggs water and multivitamins. Really need to find a consistent source of fiber/vitamins like vitamin C. Probably need to get my strawberry patch back going, blackberries and such would be good additions, but harvesting enough to store/ through the seasons would be tough.
I don’t think there would be an actual full collapse, I just figure I have to assume I wont ve ablr to afford anything beyond rent/utilities. Then when I can buy necessities


How can a company started as a non-profit, have a subsidiary that is for profit? (Restructure this year). So basically like a quarter of the company is staying non-profit, and the rest is becoming for profit, and that’s the portion external investors like Microsoft own stake in.
It just sounds like tax fraud from the start. “Legal tax holes” where the end costs will come out of the populations pockets and not the companies


It really wasn’t meant to be taken that seriously, haha. But I suppose you could tag me as woke to foolish death customs dude. It would be an interesting way to be introduced at a wake


I agree, but isn’t it strange that throwing her in a hole and throwing dirt on her, or burning her is considered the better treatment?
I think I’ve been duped by cultural customs.


Why did I automatically imagine that hot dog gif…
To be fair there is a decent amount of people here who may enjoy that though. Straight males would likely struggle here like most other dating sites.


I never thought about that. Not paying child support is a jailable offense. Hopefully no one ended up on a jail death-loop because they couldn’t afford child support during the shutdown. What a joke of a government

Yeah I was going to make a joke to make sure people knew I was being lighthearted by saying something like only a blank would try to eat spaghetti by the lake, but couldn’t think of term at the time that wouldn’t also belittle someone else’s troubles so I just set it and left it.
If I were to disagree with what you were reportraying they said though… The right food/time/people to me doesn’t spell making a reservation at a restaurant… that feels like rushed not putting in effort other than “having to show up” to prove you care type of deal. I suppose it would have made more sense to me if it were in the context of putting in the effort of making a loving dish and showing up for the people you wish to show you care. (That said, it also goes to shit on Thanksgiving/Christmas and what not if people are doing it out of “requirement.”
Anyways, I meant it to be more light hearted and just didn’t spend the time to apparently get my point across either so I get why people were downvoting. I half assed a response, lol

I’m not sure what you are trying to say here. While I have no problem with making appointments to ensure there is availability and flow of an establishment works fine, I can also understand some people don’t want to schedule an appointment and therefore will just not go to those places often. I don’t see that as making them “less than” me for liking something else. Hell if they want to grab Chinese food and sit by the lake, more power to them, wish I would have thought of it


Median pay in the U.S. for no high school degree is 37,492. Median 1 bedroom apartment- 1,500. At $18,000 a year before utilities they can’t get approved for a lease. So unless they are crashing at someone else’s place the beer isn’t cold, and the truck is their house and depending on what state they live in they are considered to be illegal to live in it…
So much for having a trad-wife or whatever, they’ll need a sugar mama


I’m so sick of having to try to identify fucking buses/traffic lights and shit to be able to view near anything on the web…it’s gotten ridiculous

Commander Ironfist from the Lightbringer Series by Brent Weeks.

I used to have a cat with the middle name Ironpaw, never thought I’d see that again.
Toasted thin brioche with garlic butter, light smather of roasted pepper jelly, prescuttio wrapping muenster cheese topped with heated salami and pepperoni, so it is moistened by the juices of the Italian meats but stills holds the crunchy, airy feeling in the bite.
