  • my partner are going on a cross country trip over canada this summer. going to do some camping and fishing, maybe a couple of overnights at a hotel here and there, we want to have some fresh seafood in nova scotia. just getting it out ofnour systems while we can.

  • side note, if you are really fed up with this news cycle, you could take up a new hobby.

    drones are crazy fast these days, and cheap to make, and there are SO many ways to build them now. they come with so mant different attachments, especially in the states. you could attach all kinds of crazy things to them. like nerf guns, and paintball guns and do all kinds of fun activities with lots of friends

    also i hear the area around mar a lago is beautiful to vacation in, it would be great to get some birds eye view footage of that place. just for fun with a bunch of your friends

    i hear also about how good drones are at stabalizing for long distance shots on video these days. you could fly them so high up you could barely see them or hear them from the ground.

    some people even use them to drop small, or large packages from the air as well. just be careful they dont land on anyone important

    that would be aweful......eh?

    Trump makes more sense when you realize in the 90s we fought neo-liberal and conservative ideology with vapid consumerism. The world should take note: we are bad at this.

  • buy clothes second hand, or make your own. never buy a brand new vehicle if you absolutely need one. learn how to DIY repair as much of your tech, laptops, computers, cellphones as possible. can or freeze your left overs. grow your own food and herbs if you can. recycle whatever you can at home for purposes you may need them for. BUILD YOUR HOME OUT OF RECYCLED AND AVAILABLE MATERIAL IF POSSIBLE WHERE YOU LIVE.

    BUY AN OLD BIKE, AND RIDE IT WHEREVER YOU CAN REASONABLY. upgrade it to a DIY ebike using systems like bafang if you need to go further or or faster. buy second hand if possible.

    cook all your meals at home, dont eat out, the food quality dependant on sources of ingredients will likely be higher if you put time and effort into learning a core skill like cooking.

    learn how to do calisthetics and jog, ditch your gym membership, or build a home gym from second hand equipment. some can even be sourced for free.

    make home made gifts, home made cards, learn how to knit, people go ape shit for scarves and sweaters made by hand. maybe learn how to make jewellery, you do not have to use precious metals and stones to make jewellery.

    buy tools second hand, borrow them from friends and family if needed

    it requires a little extra work to be more independant and consume less, but it is by far more rewarding mentally, and physically to do so. and for some, even spiritually.

    buy second hand computers, and computer parts, build a "homelab" for self hosting your own streaming and entertainment services, email, gaming servers, etc.

    get rid of all of your subscriptions where possible, and learn how to offer that service yourself where you can.

    ive personally done all of this, it can be difficult, but your wallet will thank you in the long run if you can adapt to your new economic environment. and i vuarantee you, your life will be much more fulfilling.

  • there was a guy names "slap shot abe" and he apparantly was a mentally handicapped man, but may also at one point may not have been. apparantly he did a lot of psychedelics in the 70s and 80s and it fried his brain. he just lost the plot, and started wandering around town with a hocket stick, gloves, and a helmet. and he would just slap rocks and shit as hard he could. hence "slap shot abe". you would find him just fucking sending it against the wall behind (at the time) only mall. and he had these big thick 70's glasses kind of similar to bubbles from the trailer park boys. and in the summer, hed be out in shorts and hawaiian shirts, but still had the gloves and the helmet and hockey stick. he also road a bike occaisionally.

    i never spoke to him personally, but he wasnt violent as far as i knew. he just drank beer and slap shotted shit all the time.

    i think he died a few a while ago. he was my dads age, maybe a decade or so older. dad avoided him when he was younger. but apparantly back then he was still slap shotting shit. so at least he was consistent in his purpose, and earned his name.

    RIP slap shot abe.
