Thats good! I wish I could be more minimalist but im not. Im a maximalist for sure lol.
Most things about living in town just require spending money all the time (not that im not spending it other places but still)
Like fancy eateries or bars etc, just drains money away so fast and you dont actually “get” anything out of it. (Except experience, which my memory is so bad ill forget it anyway)
Good point on the high salary area however one could argue there’s actually more opportunity here where I could buy land to rent out, or buy a house to flip etc. Big money makers. But I am too lazy to want to do that right now haha. And while trips are fun and i like to do them sometimes, having my own big garage is more fun and more useful to me. Plus I love driving (more sport type driving events, but I go for cruises on open roads a lot too). I feel like a trapped animal in cities, not for me.

I agree.
People are SO against doing that though, almost vehemently so. 1000 people will go to scamazon to buy some junk before 1 person goes 2 blocks to get it from a local store. People are so lazy they dont want to get up to put in a dvd (yes im old, but this is something I heard a friend actually say not long ago)
Not to mention everything made local costs 4x more by default.
There’s really not much sense of community anymore in America.

I agree.
But its still dangerous to give government that power. however, if you can actually elect the politicians, its fine. But we all know its rigged bullshit and votes dont actually matter anymore, if they ever did.

In America midwest, 100k is plenty to own a couple acres and a few cars and buy most things you want and travel.
On the coasts, about $250k yr to live like this, maybe 350k.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 1 day ago:
While I agree, then you are giving the government massive power to decide how much you shouldn’t make.
And what happens with all the “tax” money? Straight into politician pockets.

I totally agree. And id like to ask, what sort of system benefits this?
Regulation is what government does and kills small business while large corps either pay em off to get by or they submit to regulation and lose a few billion but doesn’t affect em.
Socialism is viewed here as government ownership of everything, no more individualism, and Americans fear government above all else (ironically blindly trusting corporations with all their money and data).

- Comment on Is audiophile bullshit cheating? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, and the entire debate is moot since the cutting needle uses a digital offset when its cutting anyways even if it is from the master tape.
Its not analog or digital. Its the care and thought that was put into it. It just so happens that usually more care and thought is put into it when its analog.
I also prefer physical media of any type. Of course records are peak, theyre large enough to store great artwork and can sound very very good. They have a benefit of physically not being able to be brickwalled be some mixing engineer that’s being screamed at by the marketing team to clip the mix bus so its loud as fuck and has no dynamics.

Yeah I guess it is. Ive seen stuff like thos referred to as gen a humor idk man, i just laugh
- Comment on Is audiophile bullshit cheating? 2 weeks ago:
Im a realistic audio enjoyer… im not dropping 10000 dollars on a speaker set because I know my room isn’t tuned. However ill set up my room best i can and buy nice used equipment to make it sound great.
I enjoy digital and analog sources. The mastering is what truly matters. I can tell you some of the best sound ive heard is off my reel to reel, because the mastering back then wasn’t catering to shitty phone speakers.
Then again, the cd of Grace sounds amazing, again because of mastering.
I can say for absolute certainty that the vinyl 2 disc pressing of no more tears sounds VASTLY better than the cd, again because the cd is mastered like poop to appeal to the masses.
So one can enjoy audio and still be level headed about it. I dont give a shit what my cables are made of or if my amp has no lid on it.

You think normal people today go outside the 5 walled garden corpo sites?
They dont.
They are terrified of an html website. I dont have tech friends irl, so trust me. The real internet, the original non corpo net, is only for ultra nerds now.
If you seriously think the internet is better now than 08 ish, well I dont agree.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 weeks ago:
The internet was so good in 08. You searched for stuff, found exactly what you needed, and were done.
Poor kids today will never know anything other than ad ridden bot corponet.
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 2 weeks ago:
Im not sure having laws policing the internet is a good idea. Educating the populous and defunding propaganda advertising would be a better move.
Also I do agree with bizzle, people need to just turn it off more often (Go see Running Man if you haven’t. Exact parallels to our current state. )

Idiots weren’t ready for the internet.
If people would get out of walled garden bot ridden bullshit, the internet could be great.
What non nerds use today is not internet. I like to call it Corpo-Net. Because these people never venture outside their billionaire facist websites.
