I’m workin’ on it!
I saw something similar before
No wheels on mine.
Aha! I suspected you’d comment.
Can confirm, the internet here is decent and it’s pretty far from people
Wexford county?
I’ve lived out in the rural before. I’d only do it again if there was a pharmacy that was open more than 9-5 mon-fri within a reasonable driving distance, a grocery store, and at least one good restaurant close by (it’s nice to be removed from other but boy does cooking for yourself every meal get old fast).
I don’t understand this at all. I go out to eat like 4 times a year, and that’s only on long car trips I end up stopping at a fast-food joint. I was amazed when I found out city people think of McDonald’s as cheap food. Y’all must be made of money.
Plus a plumbed toilet and air conditioning.
Also without the Necronomicon in the basement, please.
my dream is the complete and final destruction of America and the false state of Israel
Me, living in Wyoming with gigabit fibre:
Yes it’s a bit of a flex but I sold everything I owned in order to own a humble old house here and I am proud of it. Cow poop walls? No regrets.
Internet’s not the only infrastructure you need.
I’m not sure about the fast internet anymore. The internet is cancer and getting worse.
This right here. Just disappear into the woods and forget about the doomscroll in its entirety.
If one day you wake up in your cabin to a bright flash in the sky so be it, and least you had a good life.
slow internet is better, like slow food :D
I think you are confusing the internet with people.
If you consider corporations as people, yes.
corporations are not people themselves, but they are made of people.
So a Finnish summer cabin? I mean it is heaven tbf
Genuinely laughed! Thank you (also this is me)!
idk about the internet. kinda makes me sad these days
Sometimes I wish I could understand why people want this. I grew up in the middle of nowhere and it’s taught me that some REALLY fucked up things can be visited upon you by the 2 or 3 neighbors you have living 20 miles away and not even guns can save you.
Well there’s two different things that people who relate to this picture may want: either the nature or the solitude (sometimes both); for the second, part of the fantasy is that they would never have to deal with anyone.
In reality what people want may be completely different, but the picture passes the message better.
either the nature or the solitude
i think this is why i don’t get it: growing up in the middle of nowhere taught me that nature can fuck you over in an instant multiple times and living in suburbia gave me a cold & painful dose of reality when it comes to solitude.
i suppose it looks nice if you’ve never experienced enough of the dark sides of nature and solitude.
Sad part living next to ppl in city with hoa feels like a prison.
The awful air Mugging Packages stolen Noise Never see a tree or stars Can’t do jack all without gossiping hens Etc
Humans need a good balance but many just want to see if grass is greener on other side.

this makes the most sense to me because that’s what i did. life had taught me that being queer, autistic and brown is boring AF in urban enough environments; but it REALLY makes those hens gossip in the country side and the ppl forcing you to conform because they refuse accept your true expression of yourself is a prison of its own. to make matters worse: that 1 factory; 4 MASSIVE beef & pork farms; and plantation that employ 80% of the population will fuck up your air & water worse than the city thanks to a friendly local government that gives them passes. having to drive 5 hours to the nearest water source, to spend another 2 hours filling up, and then another 5 hour drive back every month is galling when there’s a natural stream nearby that the local gov’t makes illegal to take from.
i wanted to see if the grass was greener in the core of several cities and found that, yes, very much so for someone like me.
You write about (a quite shitty) reality, but the picture is somewhat of a dream, everyone is projecting their own wishes all around it. Running water, electricity, in the vicinity of supermarket/restaurant/pharmacy… it’s all there, in magic country land.
I am also a city person. I love disconnecting for holidays, but then I am back with similar minded friends, in a city with all city commodities and I don’t think I would switch.
If you really want an understanding I’d recommend watching the first season of Alaska: The Last Frontier
i grew up in the middle of nowhere in the mojave desert; i’ve had my fill of nature for the rest of my life.
You mean… Wendigos?
only if you’re lucky.
humans are much worse.
I fucking hate people. I’d be tempted to set traps on my property so I never have to see people. Come at me neighbors
you’ll get one or 2, but the rest will just cut off your supply to water/food and wait until you come out from dehydration or starvation and then get what they want from you.
Yeah this is why I’d like to be close enough to civilization to have city water.
But if you actually threaten my family’s right to stay alive, you just lost yours. I have no qualms about being a psychopath if I have to.
Just leave me the fuck alone.
it’s easier to shut off your water if doesn’t come from a natural source and your chances are almost negligible against the majority; much less against an imported army.
I feel like there’s a story here
it’s the same story as it is every where capitalism is in charge: rich people want to get richer by taking land that isn’t theirs; they get the local gov’t to cut off water and salt the land to make people leave; then people leave.
Definitely not, my dream place to life is microdistrict with everything needed close.
Lived like that for a while (but with a working shower and not-so-fast internet). 10/10 would recommend. Will do again when I’m done with $CURRENT_LIFE_ISSUES.
Why not?
