One of my peers works in a very remote area of BC (Americans: BC is in another country and it borders Alaska's south tip) in unionized IT via starlink. Think: the major highway going past it is two-lane.

  • quiet
  • hard work
  • no commute
  • land
  • pension (50% fo life after 25)
  • biking
  • hiking
  • backyard camping is camping

But:

  • fucking prepper tourists
  • sometimes the power dumps
  • you wanna see what's outside before going out to the garage.

Remember: nature doesn't care about you and we've only been pissing her off for 50 years.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
