Each of us needs to follow the path that is most suited or desired no matter if others see it as valuable or valid; our paths are our own to find and follow right? I guess we all want to escape I'm our own way.
Also, please don't call up those ridiculous shit tokens on my posts if you can help it, I find them super annoying and intrusive.
Well if its escape from this prescribed system built around automating a work force then hell yeah, escape from it!
lol, noted. I did not know that you did not like the tip tokens. It's easy to not send them to you, no worries.
It's modern life I'm escaping from, the nutbaggery and fuckassery that is this modern life we lead. People just accept it, in fact they add to it, with their love of laziness, wanting AI to do everything for them and their lack of understanding that they're willingly becoming (have become) little fucken puppets having their strings pulled. Dumbasses.
Oh indeed! Man, I strive more and more to acquire the skills and knowledge that allows me to be able to do something myself!
We are moving into an Era of Tech-retards. The percentage of the population that actually understands how to manufacture and maintain the technology that everyone relies on is shrinking. This means that we are ACTUALLY not at the Tech level we think we are.
For example, when humans went from trees to fires and huts, the knowledge of making a fire and building a hut was commonplace. Tool usage in agriculture, basic construction and weapons? Quite commonplace.
Today we have masses of Tech-reliant populations who live on their phones and smart devices and when things break down they will become Tech-Barbarians.
So it interests me in knowing whether or not I can make something to replace something else, even if I am using scrap.
Tech retards, yep I get it and agree! People are generally clueless in respect to many aspects of self-reliance and I think that's a real problem; when the power goes out, I mean long term, food and water is scarce, war or civil unrest strike...well then, most will be fucked. Not me though bro, homie got skills
My garden is pretty much in ruins right now but man, I built a garden of raised beds 100% from upcycled materials, not store-bought. Then grew and tended plants till I could harvest edible things.
I have been going through the different plants, one after another like testing out different recipes. Learning how each one works.
I do the same for building and crafting.
So if the world ends then I set off to the mountains and I will take some hand tools, seeds and preserved foods and leave me there for a few years. I will grow food and build a cottage and from the ground up build all the furniture in a house and build working ovens/stoves.
Spend my days building and tending plants.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 damn... I would actually prefer THAT life instead of this, wake up, work, earn money, pay bills life we have now... damn...
It's amazing just how easy it is to build some valid skills that will help a person and their family in a crisis...but it's easy to to scroll Facebook and watch other mindless shit on DickTok whilst pretending that everything is ok and that someone will solve any issues that may arise. It seems putting one's head in the sand is in vogue.
I'm often gob smacked at when it's pointed out to people that they don't have skills and they make light of it, make a joke or laugh it off...So many do that or say, that'll never happen, but I reckon there's some people out there right now, say...those in Ukraine or Gaza, thinking, you dumb cunts, it can happen, has and will.
Keep building your skills.
I 100% agree. Keep honing those skills.
Nah, everyone says that: "That'll never happen."
I work in H&S. People keep saying the safety standards are too high. But then when something DOES happen, you thank your lucky stars that you had things in place.
Its like putting on a seat belt in the car. There are car accidents in South Africa daily, often at fatal conditions. Not wearing a seatbelt is quite dumb. This sort of the thing is the same.
People are idiots man, plain and simple. There'll come a time when so many people will wish they took some action and it'll be people like you and I that have to pick up the pieces...or sit back and say, I told you so mother fuckers.
