I’ve been living in a motor home for five years. It’s pretty good for me, I work from home and have spent a good long time at dozens of national parks and other awesome places.
Also boring places. Moving all the time and fixing broken things can be stressful and staying in nice places can be expensive. But overall it’s been way better for me than sitting in a house and staring at the walls.
Preach on.
I went to the Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, NY, and of all the things that really struck me hard there (it was a lot) I think the biggest hit was realizing how fucking long it took between the start of mainstreaming the movement and women actually getting the vote. None of the women who started that movement lived long enough to cast their own vote.
There was no "women's black panthers". There was no threat of violence if women can't control their own lives. Everybody got to pretty much just stay comfortable with their nice order. And change did. not. happen. For years.
Maybe the slow pace was worth it, I don't know. I'm not a woman and I'm not much devoted to order. But it seems pretty clear that "avoid offending anybody" is not an effective tool for change.
Having your kids watch you lose your dignity is not going to make a good relationship.
They are very attuned to that sort of thing. If they watch one parent allow and invite the other to trample on them the kids will also lose respect.
I bought a shirt once in Pittsburgh that says, “Yinz is a gender-neutral p pronoun”
Makes me think we’re getting to a point where cars will stop working in high-noise environments and troublemakers can set up car jammers to block cars from driving in an area
How do they know what it should cost?
Installing HVAC ducts in blistering hot attics is backbreaking work but people can be found to do that.
I wonder what those people get paid, and whether they have access to bathroom breaks, clean drinking water on the job, and a decent place to sleep at night?
Maybe if they increased the wages or improved the working conditions, people would come do the work after all?
Just spitballing, here….
Das gäbe ich als „party pooper” was ja ganz nah dran ist aber nicht gleich.
Ok, uhhhh… you are saying here that difficulty understanding the words to music is an autism thing?
I find after this election that I have an unexpectedly pressing need to wave large obnoxious flags from my sensible fuel-efficient subcompact while I drive.
Has anybody got models, templates, suggestions for how to mount a stout pole to a hatchback? I’m thinking of some kind of tube on a short arm that I could close the rear passenger door or the cargo door on to hold it in place.
Countertop dishwashers are a thing. I found one that fits on the tiny counter I have, and do my chopping and slicing on the kitchen table instead.
