Like yeah sure I want to go outside and be looked at by 100s of strangers and do all of nothing in my shit failing city yeah

Maybe I can go to to the shoreline of the lake so polluted that it gives people hives after they go into it for too long or maybe I can sit and oggle the homeless people and watch cops harass them or maybe I can spend like 80 bucks that I dont have on shit I dint need on the remains of a torn down mall or eat food that's addictive and slowly killing me. Maybe I could be forced to rise a bike in the fucking thin ass shitty roads and fuckinf die because it's literally illegal to ride in the sidewalks also it's impossibleto go to one side of the town without a car because it's illegal to ride a bike on the road that connects the two parts

Or maybe I can get arrested for being in the river that's only allowed to be sailed upon for some reason

Or maybe I can go to the "bad side" of town and step in broken glass and dog shit

Or better yet, I can go to the "good side" of town and have rocks and slurs thrown at me if I wear a floral patterned jacket

City life fucking sucks

I miss living in the countryside but I dont miss the shit internet speeds lol

    I haven't run into that, but then again I do crime and be gay pr regularly. It keeps things interesting.

    I would never move back to farmville. The cops are worse. The environment is just as polluted. It takes five hours to go to the grocery store. No jobs. Too may whites. Too many Christians. Gay shame as far as the eye can see. No political orgs with anything resembling good politics, and no political will to start them. There are even more people too high on meth to function in rural areas. The metric for fun otherwise is popping a bunch of pills or getting smashed and watching some boring sport. The gossip travels too fast, and if someone is terrible the population is too sparse to avoid them when you go to the single hospital/grocery store/school/working toilet within 100 square miles. Library? What library? The cheaper cost of living is completely offset by having to commute for any kind of good paying job. The biggest economic center in the county is the slave labor from the state prison. The world will end before you get public transit. Weird things happen in the woods at night. Was that a shadow outside the window? I'm so far out here no one can here me scream. That sounded like glass shattering. Oh fuck they're inside the house now. I get no reception out here. Oh my fucking god
