DayZ just had it’s 10th anniversary! It is just a great game, complicated and unwieldy but man you can do pretty much anything.

Obviously there’s the zombies, that’s a given, but everyone I meet is playing a different game. PvP can be bonkers… or you can live as a woodland hermit; foraging mushrooms and fruit, hunting animals and fashioning outfits from their pelts. The possibilities are endless!

An active modding community and regular developer updates means it never gets stale. Fantastic platform, I think it’s neat.

A woman I know, younger than 30, received the “husband stitch” after giving birth. She does not trust medical professionals, and I don’t blame her.

Doesn’t the pioneer woman’s family own the land involved in Killers of the Flower Moon? Pretty wild stuff

I’m not sure where you live but if you can find some native seeds from your area, plant those! It’s the perfect time in many northern-hemisphere places for overwintering things like wildflower, clover seeds and more! Fancy lawn grasses are bogus and weak

It’s a beautiful dream! Almost a decade ago my family and I left the city and bought land with some other folks. Now it’s just us out here in the wilderness, others are welcome but most people can’t leave the city.

You seem have an incredibly narrow view of what is “right” and are willing to dole out judgement based on your beliefs. I do truly believe that everyone is doing their best with the tools that they are given, and I cannot discount their efforts. It is not my place to talk shit idk.

I live the way I do because I am uniquely able to, most people are not. I cannot fault others for not being able to live this lifestyle because it takes MONEY and TIME that most people do not have. I don’t think your solutions are necessarily the solutions we need, I personally live in a state where taxes on the individual are the answer to every problem and it only makes it even harder for people to survive? Not great.

The world is complicated and very hard, obviously the system is not “magic,” but I don’t accept that consumer gas, meat, and bottled water is entirely the problem here when most of the Pacific Ocean garbage patch is commercial fishing nets (just one example). We need corporate accountability before anything else.

Igss I’m just here commenting to let you know that I don’t think it’s these Lemmy users’ faults that shit is shitty, and that I am not a “mindless consumer” or whatever.

That’s a pretty absurd generalization. I live off grid and get my power from solar, food from my garden and foraging. I compost all of my waste, consume as consciously as I can possibly achieve as an average individual, and I refuse to accept that this is some regular person’s fault.

Rugged individualism and shame will not change the world positively, some fucking accountability on the part of the few people causing the damage (corporations etc) might. It is willful ignorance to say that it is just everyone’s fault.

Almost everyone is just trying their best, save for a small number of incredibly rich people+the entities they run ruining everything.

Idk here’s a quote from The Good Place

"I want to tell you about a guy from my dance crew in Jacksonville called Big Noodle.

I used to yell at Big Noodle 'cause he always showed up late to rehearsal. Then one day, the swamp under my house flooded. I needed a place to crash, so I slept at Big Noodle’s house. Turns out that he had to juggle three jobs to take care of four grandparents who all lived in the same bed just like in “Willy Wonka.”

I never yelled at Big Noodle for being late after that 'cause I knew how hard it was for him to be there. And he definitely didn’t have time to research what tomatoes to buy. Even if he wanted to, possession of a non-fried vegetable is a felony in Jacksonville. The point is, you can’t judge humans 'cause you don’t know what we go through"
