a new catagory is needed. homesteading is too broad. something that describes small scale homesteading that includes cypherpunk elements, innovative use of technology, old school methods, and is adaptive to a variety of environments. urban, semi-rural, etc. building up a new way of living inside the shell of what was. modsteading?

happy whatever today is day 🙂 yesterday i discovered the massive plumbing job i was expecting to have to tackle was just a clog. much rejoicing and consuming of black rice and chicken ensued. also, im thinking about building one of these…

mood: i see a battle on the horizon and most people are fast asleep.

those weird libertarians were right about alot of stuff.

i almost never get excited about any food in a can. but these things man.. delicious, and zero weird additives or chemicals 👍

i think its funny millennials say “im on X because of the network effect” rather than “im on X because its more popular” because the truth makes them feel shallow.

people who believe the massive data centers being built across the country at breakneck speed are going to improve their quality of life instead of create a nation wide AI controlled totalitarian surveillance State, are begging daddy government to plug them into the Matrix.

if the US government believed economic upheaval, resource scarcity, and large scale uprisings were inevitable, and their predictive models said the same, what infrastructure would they race to put in place to prepare to “protect the continuity of government”?

conspiracy hypothesis based on the idea, “the purpose of a system is what it does”… between January 2023, and January 2024, homelessness increased by 18% in the US. Local governments claim the reason for this is “lack of affordable housing”. But when they say this, what they mean is, government funded and controlled housing. But in reality, the real reason housing is so unaffordable is local government building codes. If you have difficulty believing this, you might want to do more research. I have been for the last 5 years, and the conclusion ive come to is that local government building codes are DESIGNED to make home building as expensive as possible, and make any alternative options illegal. Up to now, i have believed this was to maximize taxes extracted from people. But i am beginning to wonder if forcing up homeless numbers increases federal funding. we are all tired of hearing it, but there is a very serious problem with our government in the US.

is like to offer a special service to all of the people spending $2k on weighted carts to exercise with. you can come over and wind heavy wheelbarrows of gravel and dirt down narrow paths through the trees for free.
