  • 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.






  • 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







  • 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
