This is why my advice to everyone who is like "But what should I actually DO!' is "get to know your neighbors." Community together strong

get to know your neighbors AND learn how to trust and be trusted.

get to know your neighbors AND learn how to trust and be trusted.

My strategy is to just dump my nuts on the table and tell you my whole deal, with many death to Americas sprinkled throughout, and if you don't find me trustworthy or are mean to me then well f you i'll go rant at someone else

I know my neighbors.

  • One of them went no contact when my wife asked how they could possibly support trump when he is so clearly against their religious ideals.
  • A fraction I would rely on for general help but nothing major.
  • Half I would rely on to shoot me for inconveniencing them.
  • The rest won’t answer the door if I knock.

This right here. The problems of an inherently individualist society. Or another way of putting it...

Fuck you, you got yours lol

The internet caused us to forgo our tight communities in exchange for being acquaintances with millions of people.
