I bought some land and spent the last 3 years converting it into something usable for an intentional community.

Community I always thought the hardest part would be getting the land drilling a well sitting up solar etc. in fact, the hardest part is convincing people that you are serious about letting them come live on your land as long as they help work.

I've even taken to offering one dollar 99 year leases so that people could feel like they have some agency over the piece of land they choose to live on.

You don't need to be on .world. Not every server treats their users like children.

I don't know about that. My wife is in her late 40s and grew up in AB. Her education was deplorable. She is a very smart person, but her early school years were basically useless.

Or the existence of said election at all...

I’ve been told violence isn’t the answer

By the very same people asking the question: What are you gonna do about it?

Where 'it' is your oppression.

That is a basic survival worry. I tend to believe that humans faced with real survival issues are less negatively impacted than those who have material worries.

My stress about work is killing me.

My stress about not freezing to death leads me to do things like chopping wood, lighting fires, and maintaining my chimney. Which are all good things.

I bet his friend is never worried about stupid shit.

My 63 year old mother has face tats. She just loves decorating herself.

Because of the way our brains are constructed we do all generalize. But part of the job of being a citizen of the world with other humans around you is to control that instinct.

I work with some people who are legitimately trying to cure cancer out of sheer love for all of their fellow humans who just happen to have been born in the United States.

I consider it my obligation to see their goodness regardless of where they live.

As another Canadian, I'd like to say that this dude does not speak for us all. We understand the cancer you're dealing with. Our tumors are smaller and less likely to metastasize but they are still there festering trying to eat their way to the surface.

Absolutely zero reason to think it was ever insincere

Bahahaha. Bahahahahhahahahahahahaha. Fuck you.
