Where else in the US can you live in a metropolitan area and still ride your ATV direct from your garage into near unlimited trails and state forests?

South Jersey really is slept on. My buddy just bought a house in Collings lakes, 45 mins to Philly 45 mins to some of the east coasts best beaches. He can ride his ATV from his backyard into weekend fun with dozens of other “outlaws” at the local sand pit. Truly slept on.

@Adventuring_RE The best time period in my life was living on the ourskirts of PB and riding my bike among the many paths along the coast and into old town, over the river into OB. I was broke, but built like a brick shithouse from my weekend adventures…

San Diego was not meant to be built up or turned in to some “Euro-pedestrian-cyclist utopia”…. All of it is Eminent Domain without a Court Order and proper Chanels based in my opinion… Is the SD BAR not allowing attorneys to defend San Diego? My guess is… they would lose their friends and so would their kids. And so would their parents. Like a ripple…. Gosh… How could I imagine….

Hickman really is that guy. Couple days back on Twitter and he posts banger after banger.

@smalltown_wife I bet the house you wouldn't DARE make a comment like this if they were any other race but white. You would say aw look at the cute eccentric Asian couple, or wow those black people are daring to be different.

the alternative is: wearing natural fiber clothing that fits well, in colors that suit your complexion and don’t look garish, not wearing ugly shoes that clash with your outfit, trimming your beard so you don’t look like a hobo, and at least making yourself appear like you took a shower within the past week

I was 7 years old in 2005 and got to spend time with my great grandfather. He was born in 1928 and his parents hailed from Austria-Hungary. I’ll never ever forget sitting on his knee, and him warning me “not to trust the jews” He was right.

I support these kids. They just need to be a little more respectful of emergency vehicles etc. So interesting watching normies sperg out over this.

@shagbark_hick Keep your house as insurance in case all the climate talk is real. Could be that your dreams of an upstate NY revival are just 30-40 years to early.

I think some clarification is in order here: 1. I grew up in rural Upstate NY 2. I left for over a decade 3. Every time I came back home, it broke my heart to see how this place is declining -- yet the land is so beautiful and the houses are cheap. 4. I came back, not with any illusions about the culture here. I figured that maybe I could help make it better, and if nothing else, I could live cheap for a while after I got out of the military. 5. Within 6 months of leaving the military, I blew up online and wound up accidentally launching into a successful online writing career. It was totally unexpected. 6. On the fly, I tried to use my newfound online reach to attract people here, to promote this place, to try to publicly reflect on ways to improve not just Upstate NY but all of rural America. Some of my ideas were controversial, but the thrust was always oriented towards making my pocket of rural America thrive again. 7. Three years or so into that, we had a baby, and I had to start weighing the feasibility of my ambitions here more seriously out of a duty to our daughter. Does she deserve to grow up in a place that is collapsing? What is her future like here? Some of the more cynical commentators say that any negative experience I have here is me "reaping what I sowed." Some even revel in it as a form of "punishment" for my unspeakable crime: reminding American youth that rural America exists, and that maybe they could make a life for themselves here very cheaply, if they liked. But what I was actually trying to "sow" was a rebirth of my own homeland. It just didn't sit well with me that the place I grew up was just supposed to die and be abandoned, so I thought I'd try making it better. Why not try? I genuinely figured that since so many people are mad about high housing costs, and since remote work exists, maybe we could leverage the ultra-cheap housing here in deep rural Upstate NY to start up a kind of Renaissance. Seemed like maybe it could've worked out for everybody! Cheap housing for folks from unaffordable places, new life in towns that are literally about to become ghost towns, locals get to see their towns avoid total collapse, Churches filling pews again, etc. But I learned it's not quite that simple. Many of the problems here appear to be totally intractable. I found that the property tax situation is worse than I'd thought. And the locals may complain about decline here, but they also don't really want to see a Renaissance either. Meanwhile, though the general public may complain about housing, but they don't want cheap housing badly enough to move to a place like this. To be fair, Albany makes all of this worse than it has to be. But even if the NYS capital started making genuinely good legislation, you can't use policy to force a stagnant, parochial culture into being anything else. And you can't force the wider public to brave long winters, ceaseless overcast, and to take a risk on trying out a place on the far margins of the American mainstream just for cheap housing. So it goes. At this point, I'm simply glad to have tried it out. I did exactly what the "localist" types say to do: I came home. I tried to make it better. I sang the song of my homeland. I did this for about three years, and at the end of it, I've got enough equity to recoup 100% of my housing costs from while I was here. If I walk away, I can do so knowing I tried. I'm not one of those who left with his nose upturned at where he came from. From here, who knows. Maybe I do strick around, albeit without any pretensions of "solving the problem" here. Or maybe we head out to the Southwest, which has always felt more like home to me anyway. Hard to say. Big thanks to those of you who see this and have come along for the ride.

@kbbbackup @JackChambersGB Define loser. He has a wife, a child, has extensively traveled the USA, is a homeowner, and probably has a lot more money then he lets on. Is writing no longer considered a job?

@JackChambersGB Hickman is a broke loser POS who refuses to work.

Hickman should unironically move to Los Angeles

@shagbark_hick I think it’s much harder to connect with those outside of your clan today. I’ve moved all over the country, and kept in daily contact with my hometown friends thanks to the internet. The hyper connectivity makes us less connected.

I do wonder if at some point, young people will break out of the pattern of mobility decline. Like maybe Gen Alpha is just going to cut loose, load up the vans hippie-style, move cross country at high rates. Youth moved 36% less in 2016 than they did in 1976. This is bad for America -- it's bad for the youth, it's causing the disintegration of the particular flavor of footloose American optimism that ever made this country what it is. Why do young people find the prospect of moving away from home to be so unattractive? Many will say it's the rising cost of housing and rent, but I don't buy it. There are still many, many places in America with an objectively favorable rent-to-wages ratio. And back in '76, it's not as if the economy was exactly smoking hot -- but people were still on the move. I suspect that the cost thing is an excuse for a kind of pathological aversion to risk. You see it in every domain of life amongst the young now; they've all got anxiety, depression, they're languishing in a geriatric world of abstruse expectations and vague social rules. Expected to behave as if they're 55 years old the moment they graduate high school. I think that's the real problem. Does this end? Or are the eras of the high plains drifter, the traveling salesman, the hippies in the VW microbus, the cowboys and pilgrims just... over forever? If that's the case, America will totally hemorrhage any sense of continuity with her own past.

@JohnGuaido69 @altstudio54 @Birdyword For me the radiation is the scary part. I’m young enough that rebuilding in a post apocalyptic world sounds fun. Getting turbo cancer for straying to close to a contaminated area does not.

@altstudio54 @Birdyword 90% of northern hemisphere humanity would die in the first 6 months or so, mostly from starvation the remaining 10% has an average lifespan of maybe 35. enough time to pump out some kids before getting various cancers. slave labor reinstated

I don't want to be too morbid here but I think there's a pretty strong alternative case for in the fireball zone for a really early hit. I'm happy to sleep through it. Enjoy your Threads-style grubbing around for irradiated food guys, I'll see you all in Heaven.

@Outlaw_Memes @uncledoomer Fuck off a transmission on a car in 69 was like 8 bolts 🤣🤣. We have to deal with sensors, wiring harnesses and all kinds of other bullshit.

Pretty easy when you can learn about anything on YouTube now, instead of needing some gatekeeping boomer to give you a certificate that says you know how to do something. MFs literally told us nobody can learn anything unless they say so, then end up baffled when somebody doesn't know something.

i know gen z guys who swap transmissions in their driveway in between snapchatting e girls and goonvaping their geek bars.

@theliamnissan this is projected based on average wind patterns. Fallout patterns could change drastically based on season and wind conditions.

You'll wanna be in the white zones folks

@ima_jerry15016 At that moment to be fair she said Meleys needed to eat and rest. We don’t know the logistics on Dragons but if they’re anything like airplanes then flying low on fuel would be a bad idea.

He was right. caraxes and meleys together would have been unstoppable. two perfectly capable fast wár drágons would have won against an old worn out dragon.

@AstroRoidSZN @RealPostFolder Best advice. A career as an officer will change his life.

@RealPostFolder Shitty home, shitty parents, college degree, he can join the military and become an officer and completely turn his life around

@SteveFranssen A good chunk of them never grew out of the party scene that was the hippy movement.

Whenever you see a Boomer in a beat up sedan, you gotta wonder how they fumbled the bag so badly.

I remember people telling me that once you hit $100,000 invested, the “compound interest snowball” kicks in. Well, I hit $100k and have been consolidating sideways for seven months. LMAO, I got scammed.

@unruffled0X @StephenAyodel10 @MyLordBebo Shouldn’t have hosted Russian missiles like little brats then. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
