Climate, house prices (rather, value - acreage overlooking the ocean surrounded by trees, for less than a suburban shitbox on the mainland), remoteness, no traffic, etc. etc.

This is part of a global 5G/Soros/Gates conspiracy to keep Australia uninhabited - I've never been bitten by anything - maybe a bee when I was 12? And I spend the majority of my time walking, hiking, surfing, sailing, camping

I guess it depends on whether you are vulnerable health-wise. If you're fit and healthy and not of retirement age I really can't understand this kind of thinking.

In Australia I moved to a very rural place, buying a house based on where I could get wireless broadband as part of our nationwide broadband rollout - I now live in a beautiful remote place overlooking the ocean with 50/20mbps Internet

Yep. I ran a great little community cycling forum from 2005 - met so many friends (real and virtual) over those years - then about 2011 or 2012 Google just dropped it. Our traffic fell off a cliff - now - the regulars stayed on for quite a

Serious question, but why doesn't the same apply for Trump? Why is he allowed to tweet any old crazy thing but Elon isn't?

Yes I have - and I had no idea about the issue or controversy until after the update. I was in bed one night playing with the Bose app on my iPhone. It prompted me to do a Firmware update - I use these headphones A LOT - at the time I was w

This is definitely because of paid questions - if you take a look at the most revenue generating questions they are all pretty dumb - I spent some time trying to think of some good questions to see whether it was possible to make money, but

It's too bad you don't know any artists. You must be one of the boring people mentioned above. I know many - few have any money, but they live rich, interesting lives outside of the status quo.

One doesn't have to become a homeless person living in the forest - look at artists as an example - why are they revered so much? Because they have managed to live as outliers outside of the norm.

This. I think people generally are just really boring and don't have the capacity to think about all the extraordinary things they could be doing with their limited time on the planet. The world is infinite and extraordinary and full o

Putting food on the table for yourself is pretty damn easy. But if you want a house, kids, a wife, a nice car, etc, then it gets exponentially more difficult. So, there is a choice available for creative people who don't wish to compro

Is this also a Buddhist belief?

News Feed Eradicator essentially does this (browser extension) - I've used it for years can't tell you how much time it has saved me from the FB timeline!

I struggle with Buddhism, only because while it is the only major religion that actually makes sense to me, I can't overcome the cultural disconnect as a white westerner, attempting to adopt ways of thinking which are so culturally dif

Would it be fair to say the exact same thing about, say, Christianity, or any large scale religion? That, at it's core, it's a hack on the human mind, for people to feel important, to feel in control, when the world is so large an

Of course they do, it's called OSINT and many agencies around the world collect & monitor social media for archival and profiling purposes...

Same - as a born skeptic I was never sure about acupuncture. I tried it once after my mom urged me, and I had never felt such a powerful sense of emotion and calm afterward. Now that I'm thinking about it again, I have no idea why I do

Can you extrapolate? I live in a rural area and heavily depend on personal transport - there are no buses, no trains, etc. I have a lease on an ICE car to the tune of about $30k - and I am genuinely wondering how smart that is, and whether

Has anyone written about, or documented how the ancillery ICE industry has coped in high penetration EV countries (Norway for example)? I.e what has happened to all the mom and pop exhaust shops, transmission shops, service centers, local m

Maybe you should be doing something else with your life? Maybe you were supposed to be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a builder? I mean, life is so short, why punish yourself? I hate this culture of 'hacks' and all this rubbish

Have you ever tried that in the open ocean? It's quite different from a pool, or a river. -Spent over 120 days in the open ocean aboard a 25ft boat.

Thanks for your story - I lost my dad just over a month ago after years in care for an illness which was drawn out over 7 years from his late 50's. Throughout this period I also was very aware of losing my ability to concentrate, as we
