Look up the black hebrew Israelite movement. It's really a weird phenomenon.

As the above comment mentioned, time is also a factor. My old beater that I bought for $800 that costs about $350 a year to keep on the road keeps my commute time a lot lower than it would be otherwise. I have a friend in a country with better public infrastructure than mine. His commute time by car is 3 times shorter than it is by bus, and he lives in a significantly denser area than I do.

Mass transit makes sense in cities, even between surrounding towns. But as soon as you get more rural public transit is so out of scope. It's always easy to see the people who spent their whole life in urbanized areas by how unrealistic they talk about this subject.

Except that Mullvad is hostile to the torrent infrastructure since there is no port forwarding. No thanks!

Curious, why is Stremio "sketchy af?"

Front trunks save lives in collisions though. I'd 100% rather be in a vehicle with a hood between me and another car, and I say this as an avid kei-truck fan.

We were buying feed, but we are working on a formula for a mash-feed based off grain and grass we grow. I know it is just an example of the larger problem you mentioned we are all living through, but all of us can refuse to partake by buying second hand and growing what we can ourselves. Small animals are a very effective source of protein and don't have nearly the same carbon footprint that beef or pork has. Just here to offer a different perspective on the issue we both see/acknowledge.

Respectfully thats a terrifying stat, as someone with a passionate dislike of cities!

Yeah my birds freerange. My land was cheap enough I think most people who rent in a major city could afford it without much issue.

We farm vegetables too, but besides the butchering aspect the chicken farming is honestly easier to automate, set and forget.

I feel like a goal may be to teach people how to get back in touch with more natural, unchanged land, and how to live in sync with it, instead of making more people reliant on urbanization and manmade supply chains. My little local community may not be as efficient or provide as much output as a suburb or city block, but we have displaced less local fauna and help each other with maintaining what we have instead of buying new products. Its a different way of looking at things, but it is rewarding in its own right.

How about other meat like chickens? I raise my own and kill them when they get old. I feel pretty vindicated in that my little system is pretty sustainable. I do sometimes supplement it with store chicken, but try to go for locally sourced meat when I do.

Not sure I understand how you are reading the article. That's like saying having a steak knife in your home is a factor in proving elements of a crime. Tools are completely neutral parties that are unrelated to prosecution, and encryption should be no different.

Doing crime in the privacy of my own home allows me to get away with it and commit more crime, doesn't mean we should have transparent walls that everyone can watch what you do through.

I hate these misleading headlines. It is just so justifying to the magats when articles like this are touted against them. They do plenty of clearly illegal shit, lets stick the headlines like this on those other cases.
