  • I don’t consider myself left leaning. Both left and right are corrupt and neither actually practice what they preach. The left is the US is currently the lesser of two evils though. I do consider myself a socialist-libertarian. I think government should be there to keep the populace safe, and provide basic human necessities to all, and no more. The govt should not be able to execute capital punishment nor declare war. Retalitory strikes, defense and supporting allies defending themselves are all fine, but we could get rid of most of the military and funnel that money back to socialist programs and be a MUCH wealthier and happier country.






  • I can understand it. I’m an introvert, I absolutely loathe neighbors, people are fine, but neighbors are the worst. I’m constantly creating and building things virtually and rarely get to make any significant decisions. I constantly want to do things differently, and I’m frequently proven right, but the pattern continues. I see the effects of a sedentary lifestyle on my body. I enjoy several hobbies working with my hands. I am sick of scheduled pointless daily meetings.

    Truthfully my dream job is to be independantly wealthy, but I can’t afford that quite yet, nor retirement. So if you combine all that together I can see many programmers wanting to rage quit and become their own boss. Most stay in tech, but that’s a career path not a meme. So the farmer life is the perceived hermit life that pays.

    I’d rather buy an established orchard myself. Hard work is done. Do the occasional spray, some pruning, mowing and fertalizing. Automate the watering. Hire some pickers. From the outside it seems easy (probably isn’t). But maybe easier than buying an apartment and being a landlord.
