I like the dystopian aspect. The economic one is meh.

My Side of the Mountain. Kid gets tired of family problems, runs away to live in the Catskills off the land on an old family farm. Befriends a librarian who lends him books on survival. He makes his own clothes from deer skin, catches his own fish with homemade hooks, lives in a hollowed-out tree, that sort of thing.

I am currently a bushwhacking bookworm. I suspect it was all that book.

I would adore having 1990's Internet back. It wasn't about media. It wasn't about ads. Wasn't about all sorts of flashy, colorful, mind-numbing drivel. It was just information, pure and simple. We still communicated. We still made friends around the world. But it was new, novel, and simpler. I remember when pop-up ads were invented and introduced. We thought that was bad. Little did we know what it would all turn into.

Yeah I’m not worried about offending people who wear fur suits and jack off to cartoons.

Rural as in the nearest town with more than 30,000 people is 90 miles away.

Yeah, cause fuck those of us who don't live in cities, right?

Yes. There's always a point. The world will always be unjust. That doesn't mean we should give up and take it. Fight for what you can, enjoy what you can.
