Pass, I like being able to walk to the store and concerts and stuff. Maybe with the hydroponics and aeroponics boom everybody can just live in a city and leave nature alone?

Running water would be nice
And a sewer system
In the winter you freeze your ass while in the summer the smell will floor you.

And solar panels and a big battery for electricity. And a good sceptic system so i don't have to crap in a hole in the ground outdoors 500 feet away from my house. And a good general store in easy driving distance. And a powerful 4x4 vehicle that can get down to the main road even when the giant driveway path is very muddy or covered in 5 feet of snow. And a decent medical facility not too far away so when a health problem arises i don't lose a limb that could've been saved. And a post office not too far away so i can get packages delivered. And and and ...
I'd rather have a store within biking / fat biking / skiing / hiking distance to be less reliant on a car. Maybe some electric mobility option like an e-skidoo / ebike.

I think that comes from the roof.

Just don't touch the book or listen to the audio tape you find in the cellar.
I absolutely recommend touching the book. The flesh binding and esoteric runes are metal AF and look good on the coffee table.
Just remember that you must say these words exactly when removing the book from its cradle: Klaatu barada nikto.
Okay, I'm drawing a line in the fucking sand, here. Do not read the Latin.

Nah, I still want to live in a community. Just not the fake community we have now.
Also, log cabin homes are bad. The one pictured has the internal space of an efficiency apartment, but uses far more logs of wood to get a much draftier result. You could get a lot of 2x4s out of this thing.
Drafty? You know they put isolation between the logs right?
By not opening the logs, you don't invite moisture to the wood either. If you made them into 2x4's and didn't treat them, you'd have rot within a few years. It's not exactly a coincidence that log cabins where the norm where you had enough wood to support them.
Yea but if a tree falls on it, its going to survive the impact. Which is kind of important in the woods.
Tree falls on your log cabin — now you just have more house.

Absolutely not. I was doing Spanish learning on an app and laughed at the guy who moved from "una casa oscura en las afueras" to "un apartmento soleado en el centro" (from the dark and gloomy house in the outskirts to the sunny apartment in the center of town) and raised his spirits because that is also the way I feel about living.
Whenever this get posted people comment about ACKTUALLY this is bad because no food/water/electricity or whatever but I think we're missing the point. If you magically woke up one day and had rightful ownership of this land and this house, presumably getting out of paying housing costs or rent, well, if that happened to me that would be the highest point of my life so far. Solving the problems of all the other stuff you wouldn't have is still a more realistically solvable problem than trying to make a sustainable income in the face of rigged housing costs in this absolute clown show of a society we live in.
Honestly, I'd be ecstatic with owning any property right now....
The fact that I'm not only not alone in this, but the sentiment is held by a statistically significant percentage of people.... That is the problem.
too many spiders
dont doxx my mind pls
I guess starlink is your only choice then? Or some other ISP that can extort you, since its your only option in the countryside?
Could meshtastic reach 56K?
I live in the city and still only have one option that extorts me. Yeehaw.
Nah, fuck this. This isolationist mentality from larpers is what lead us to this fucking mess. This is fucking terrible, and people shouldn't be living in this shit, and 99% of those who tried know it.
Counterpoint: I tried and I want to leave this broken society even more now (especially since societal enshitification seems to even accelerate).
Though you still need social contacts (that you really like) to avoid loneliness, so in case you have that, it's a wonderful, peaceful and healthy way to live more in harmony with nature, but it's a lot of work nonetheless.

😂 poor little guy. What would you even do without DoorDash?!
There's no way you could hack it, so there's absolutely no way many, (MANY) other people could!

Damn. God forbid people romanticize having some peace and quiet.
I mean yeah... cities aren't loud, cars are loud.
I live in a village but between semi-trucks, loud motorcycles, and trucks with mufflers modified to be louder that you can hear from miles as they motor away... it's too loud for how much nowhere there is here, particularly during midday.
