1994: If you don't straighten up and take your education seriously you're gonna end up living in a van down by the river!

2024: If you don't straighten up and take your education seriously you'll never be able to afford to live in a van down by the river!

You're behind on your oxygen bill again. If you don't pay by next week your nose and mouth will be sown shut.

Kentucky is currently making "unlawful camping" punishable by death now at the hands of the land owners so double check where the bog is

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Is there literally any "unowned land" left on the planet?

As in the landowner can just shoot them right there?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Yes, but it's a bill that has been introduced. It hasn't even been voted on yet.

[-] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I didn't do a great job phrasing it. "Currently" is doing a lot of lifting there.

The whole concept of trespassing on " private property" is bullshit anyway.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Private property was always complete bullshit, it's based on nothing but bad philosophy.

My nephew wants me to move to Tennessee. I'm a gay man that lives in New England. Just for laughs I looked at rents in his area. They are exactly the same as what I am paying now for a 1 bedroom. Not going to happen.

City vs. Country

Red vs. Blue

Type A vs. Work to Live

Homed vs. Homeless

White collar vs. Blue collar

Etc

It's a shame the divide and conquer routine works so well.

Keep the peasants hating and rooting against one another so hard, they never look up at their common enemy. Credit where it's due, insatiably greedy owner class, you have us dead to rights. You keep us so busy working and hating one another, we'll never organize against your tiny population of manipulators betraying your own species and turning it into your personal livestock.

[-] centof@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

How does type A relate to work to live?

[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Type As are the people that kill themselves at work and show frustration at those that don't. The annoying true believers of the workplace. They live for "that grind culture," and in many to most cases, brag about the toll it's taken on their personal lives if they still have one. Their sense of self is tied to their job.

People who work to live are just that. They don't derive their sense of self of life's purpose from their job. They do what they have to for their pay check and leave.

For this, Type As often mock them as lazy, while work to liver's mock type A's intensity and values.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

As a "work-to-live" person Type As are my natural enemy. If I've got a meeting before noon some Type A person is the culprit.

The flip side of the coin are people who tell me to "just move" away from my ass-backwards little shithole to a more progressive area. Like sure, I'd love to live in the city, let me just quit my job and reach into my suitcase full of gold bars...

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Wait... The free market, capitalism, it was all a lie?

"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England!"

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 11 months ago

One day, lad, this will all be yours.

No, not the curtains, lad, all that you can see stretched out over the valleys and the hills! That'll be your kingdom, lad.

Become the man of the bog. The one who occupies the swamp. Only then are you truly free.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I genuinely believe this is true.

Listen, show me where to find WFB jobs, and I'm there. Bog life!

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 12 points 11 months ago

Seriously... I'd kill for a WFB job, even a WFF job but no one seems to want to build businesses out in the forest either...

Joking aside, it's literally why I can't move out of my HCOL area... The affordable places are affordable because they're summer homes/winter getaways... There's no work near them whatsoever. :/

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

I've had WFB jobs for the last decade or so. It's super nice. You know those meetings where they have way too many people in a conference room and it's after lunch so you smell everyone's hot breath while some VP's jerk each other off? Those are much nicer from the seat of a riding lawn mower with a beer in hand.

Honestly, groceries are pretty much the same price or higher in rural areas and you'll be spending a lot of money driving around. Might get some cheap rent, though, if you'd rather rely completely on online shipping for anything other than the absolute basic resources than live a life of convenience and opportunity.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 14 points 11 months ago

I’ve lived in a bog. It’s rather nice, actually
