I didn't once say cites are full of boogeymen. I've not even suggested I was scared of the city. I mentioned nothing about different lifestyles either. In fact I didn't even tell you whether I lived in a city or not and you know nothing about my own lifestyle. It's not childish. It's reality. Here we are with a bunch of people drawing assumptions about me simply because I made a statement they don't agree with. That's what is childish.
Because some people simply need to make others feel miserable to make themselves feel, something. It's the defining factor of so many people right now. Unfortunately, it sounds like your bio. Dad is one of those people. Aka: a bigoted asshole.
I'm one of those people that would take that as a personal challenge, just to be as nice as I possibly could, especially to him. Simply because I know it drives them crazy.
Canadian here. Cancelled all my Amazon services and every other American service we had when Drumphkins started threatening. Fuck Amazon. Fuck fascism. Fuck 'murica.
1/4 acre of fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, local flowers, shrubs, grasses, a lot of vegetables, a greenhouse, chickens, a small swamp. It's gone from a grey clay death zone to a deep beautiful rich soil and an area that is teeming with life and food for all the life it supports. It is regenerative and balanced. To offset our agriculture practices we keep 250 acres of old growth forest under our care and protection. Permaculture, Korean natural farming, modern and traditional farming and environmental knowledge all play a part in what we have accomplished.
It wasn't easy to get here. We aren't rich and we never will be. Just know it is possible. Before we lived in our little paradise we converted a regular city lot to the same type of setup.
True. Made the same choice twice after all.
