i got this meme from @internetsavedme2 on instagram
I get that life is safer, cleaner, and more comfortable for almost everyone on earth.
But, I wish I could decide to spend a few months not working and living in the mountains or jungle without any serious work or financial repercussions.
My wife and I are at a place where we have a long term plan to save and buy land away from the city.
I can’t wait until I’m out in the country side and and can go outside to nature rather than concrete.
That sounds wonderful. I often fantasize about living on a mountain side in a cottage with a porch where I sit with my wife on a crisp morning, just enjoying the sun rise, a coffee and the comfort of being in the moment with my closet ally on earth.
I wish I had the money to do that someday.
I congratulate you and your wife to make a dream come true. I believe, if you long so much and can make it happen, it will be worth it and it is something to work for.
Sorry to mislead, we are far from the dream. But we have a plan at the very least and we can, for the first time, really see a path to get there. We still have years and years to go.
Nah, the topology is not suited for logistics. Also no infrastructure in the area.
That's exactly right... For now.
But if there's coal in that mountain, we can level the whole thing like they do in West Virginia and leave a nice flat spot for an industrial park when we're done.
Me when playing Satisfactory. Although I'd rather have a bit of a flatter area
Urf, one of the candidates for mayor of the region where I live said that if they won they'd make an industrial park to encourage jobs ... a third of the municipality is a nature reserve, half of it is a literal mountain, and the remainder is small farms. There are no roads big enough for a full size lorry, and there's a large industrial estate in the valley below which provides lots of jobs.
It just made me wonder if they were that corrupt or simply on drugs.
Developers/board members/politicians. It always has to be growth with them until everywhere is the same suburban hell.
See - Cluses, Haute Savoie
And the upper Rhone valley in Switzerland for that matter lol
William Cronon’s “The Trouble with Wilderness” should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in conservation or environmental science. It's a great critique of how colonialism has tainted our understanding of what "wilderness" and nature in general is and humanity's role in them.
