What's up with doomer being a 4 year gap. Just for the meme?

@KingInTheHead you mean baby daddy

I'm lookin for some advice--shit posting or serious--on how to find a place to live with a community building atmosphere. I'll be finished paying off all my debts next month, am single, under 30, and looking to have more quiet time and interpersonal connection with a more humble crowd than cities tend to offer. I have a remote job so as long as the place has decent internet it's fair game.

Do I just throw a camper top on my truck and road trip around the country or what?

Christian values I guess?

Fuck if I know dude I grew up in NY

The land of the secular cunts

I'm open to going to church well leave it there

I feel like I'm too egotistical to join a cult

Would need to start one

Who says it's based on a lie

Not everyone is full on thumper when they start going to church

That's kinda the point to going to church

Then splain me

Solid word of caution

I mean I can meet Jesus by myself tbh

I assume the point of the congregation is the other people

Not the Bible

Maybe before people knew how to read it was different?

I mean I don't mind being an idiot but it would be nice to know how I'm being an idiot so I can ramp it up

If you would indulge

I grew up Episcopalian so we don't really Bible all that good with out gay bishops

🤷‍♂️ The way she goes I guess

Wtf is this emoji splitting

Where's my unicode

Fuck it

Unicode is for the japs anyway

OK so then maybe scratch the church idea

What's the next plan

Maybe I should rephrase my original question. I'm not looking to make friends where I live, that ain't an issue. I'm trying to figure out how I can determine what other places in this wonderful country might be a better fit than living in a major metro.

Since I don't make use of any of the city specific lifestyle offerings or need much of the conveniences

The lifestyle of having everything accessible all at once is lost on me

Convenience vs mindfulness tradeoffs

It's just really hard to make this kind of shift and not be a dirt bag hipster about it

Which if that's what I'm doing fuck it I'll just have to embrace it

It's possible satellite internet could work

I have a remote job

Ideally something like 60mbps would be my minimum requirement

Then we gotta scratch those off the list

Need to be able to support myself and save this guala for later

I have a chest freezer for meat I'm used to buying beef in bulk

Most veggies you can kiiinda keep in the fridge for a week with the right prep

Time wise an hour each way tops

I have all the prerequisite skills for homeownership but I'd rather not sign up for the debt until I decide I'm really gonna hunker down somewhere

But if it's not an option to rent for a bit then I'll just buy

It's all renting either way

Either from some jerkoff or the bank

Cool than that would be ideal for the short term

So I've done some road trips thru south Carolina and had the sudden urge to just stop in a few towns and just not leave. Loved the sleepy vibes of the trees. Wish I remembered what towns they were but I could probably find them again by visual memory if I take the same route to Charleston.

Eh it's not terribly different from Georgia just a bit more humid

I'll generally take too hot for too cold

Humidity is the main concern tho 🤔

I guess the trick is to just stay higher elevation?

I love the north Georgia mountains area so I guess I should probably rule that area out first before other considerations right?

Just since it's close and I can do more accurate canvassing?

Yeah flat would be hard I think I might have a phobia of flat tbh

If it's flat but it's bc I'm in a valley and there's mountains in the view that's fine

Thus far my favorite climates have been desert, mountain, and wooded. But I've never lived in desert just traveled thru a lot

My job takes me out to the left coast 4x a year and I road trip the area every time right after

So I guess right now the options are canvas surrounding states via car for small towns, and do weekender trips around the country to small cities?

I guess another alternative would be to rent in a medium city and just own a plot of land within an hour or so drive for peace of mind on the weekends?

I had friends here who did that. They rented here and had a mountain house for dumb cheap

They moved to the mountain house full time but later had to move back to the city bc of ongoing health reasons. Needed to be closer to the hospitals 😕

As of now I don't need any care at all

Is it naive to think I could just move again in that case?

Seems a little getting ahead of myself to predicate my current life decisions on a kid a might have also might have medical. Conditions that need constant inpatient care

Right now my gut means towards medium city with plot of land nearby

That way I can transition in either direction when I have more feedback from life

I just want to be around a higher proportion of people who are present

And all my travels have led me to believe that cities have the lowest proportion

On my last trip I was staying on people's properties from some hipster website where you hand them 20 bucks and they let you sleep there. The farther I went from the city I flew into, the more engaged people's eye contact was

I'm not looking for some utopia

Just better odds

I've also been to plenty of rural areas where it's just opiate country

Well I am at least *some* kinda engineer I guess

Good at building

Objects and relationships

Lmao I feel that brother

Was really just looking to test yall out to see if my mindset and approach is somewhat on the right path

Make sure I don't sound like a kid pining about things that don't exist

Good advice

Find a good lifestyle fit and then just make it work?

Yeah what you workin on rn

I'm a little paralyzed by choice rn with the remote job

Would love to hear your thought process

Being able to move for a partner definitely helps family building

Esp income wise

And if you marry a nurse

Depends on how their shifts are scheduled vs yours. For me it would be great bc i could swap a weekday of work for a weekend day. Lots of nurses work long hours and then have a few days off during the week

Definitely respect the stay and fix it mindset but wouldn't fault you for defecting either

No Valor in sinking with the ship 🤷‍♂️

Yeah at a certain point ya just gotta fkn send it

Alright so I'm gonna do some research and hard thinking on this one

Might even make me a spreadsheet

Ugh

Saw a guy make a ray tracer with VBA in excel

Now that's a masochist

😴

Bruh tulsi got that power stare

No why would I watch snl
