Many Americans seem to place no value on routinely having long, in-depth conversations with strangers. This is especially true in un-formatted, no-time-limit, leisurely contexts involving no purchases and no business talk. The attitude is one of total disinterest in others, andā¦

Christians, what is your position on creation?
I'm no fan of the recent crop of shops selling "vapes" and "exotics" in Upstate NY. But man, in some of these gloomy, lifeless towns, many of these stores are insanely lively. The contrast is wild -- you're walking down an overcast, trashy, empty street, and step into one ofā¦

Amazing you could rent this apartment in BÄlČi, Moldova for $390/mo, utilities inc. In BÄlČi, a loaf of bread sells for about $0.40, pound of beef is $3, pound of apples is $0.30, a litre of domestic beer is $2. A King's life awaits. Some would say "Moldova sucks" but whoā¦
@encoreduvin @shagbark_hick It is with great sadness that I agree with you. I enjoyed participating in economic growth: the innovation, energy, making new products, making things more efficient. It was more than fun, it was fulfilling. But now I see that it was all a path to destruction.

I'm a total sucker for middle-of-nowhere desert motels. I'll be holing up at this one in Presidio, Texas for a few days in the second week of May. Stop by and have a Tecate by the pool. You'll need it after the drive to Presidio, which is one of the most remote towns in the US.
Booked all ten segments for my Amtrak Rail Pass trip. It's gonna be a wild, fascinating month. I'll turn 30 just as I pass through the Rocky Mountains on the California Zephyr. And I'll arrive home just in time for our wedding. Here's the itinerary if anyone wants to meet up:
Anyone in Sacramento or Los Angeles with a floor I can crash on? Passing through on Amtrak. Looking like I'll be arriving in LA May 13th and SAC May 20th. They're both annoying cities to stealth camp in and you'd be saving me from sleeping 2 consecutive nights in coach. Thanks!
What'd you look like in 2013? I hitchhiked across the US three times that year and wintered in the low desert. Squatted in New Orleans for a couple months. Lived on Aldis dumpsters, trash pizza and Old Milwuakee. I earned and spent ~$2500 for the entire year.

The US occupies about 6.1% of the earth's terrestrial surface. More Americans should keep this in mind if they're at all in the habit of making outrageous, sweeping generalizations about the other 93.9% of the earth's landmass.
I still love slowed Cumbias in an Imperial County CA sunset. Cheladas, elote, octillos out in the desert, riding out to Mecca in a troca with some cementeros who call you "compa". Our Lady of Guadalupe in the dashboard. Low Desert is one of the best parts of the US, hands down.

If you don't watch sports, don't watch movies, don't work, don't drive, and do "weird" things like living in a tipi, getting rid of your refrigerator, etc. you will be lonesome in 95%+ of the US. To "fit in," people with these inclinations have three options: 1. Force yourselfā¦
