The problem with cars is primarily fuel. Gas is only good for a few months then it degrades fast. Now, they can be made to run on alcohol, but making enough alcohol to be feasible to fuel a car is a pretty big undertaking. Then you have things like oil, grease, and tires. Plus, modern cars are complicated and, honestly, pretty fragile once the roads start to degrade. Without maintenance, roads degrade pretty fast.

If you have to have an engine, motorcycle will be better,. but at the end of the day you still need fuel, oil, grease, and tires.

Horses are fine if you know how to ride and care for a horse. Horses eat a lot, not much of a problem, however, come winter time you’re going to start searching for fodder. Horses require a lot of upkeep. Can you shoe.a horse and trim the hooves? No? Congratulations, your horse is now lame and the most humane thing to do is to shoot it. Horses are unpredictable and flighty. You might get lucky and get a calm horse that will comply with your commands, but I wouldn’t bet on it. They are prey animals and they are jumpy as fuck. The amount of times I’ve had a horse drag me into the woods at full speed because it saw a stick that kinda looked like a snake is too many. If you must ride an animal, get a mule. He won’t be as fast and might be more stubborn, but he also won’t take you anywhere that will get you killed and he’ll climb hills and mountains much better.

Bikes: Bikes are great and don’t need much maintenance. However, once the roads are wrecked after a couple of winters, they lose a lot of practicality. Another problem is that they require you to up your calorie intake in an environment where that may not be possible or will at least be difficult. Tires are still a problem, but at least changing a bike tire is easy. One problem I see is that once the roads are potholed and grown over, off road areas are even more overgrown, granted, a good mountain bike will still make it through, but you’ll be burning even more calories.

Hating everyone is only going to make you miserable.

Townsends. They do 18th century cooking and living history.

Case in point. I couldn’t imagine being dumb enough to believe that about an entire country.

Seemingly anything that suggests Americans might not all be dumb assholes.

It blows my mind that they don’t do any kind of anesthesia for that.

Why’d they remove the benches though? Seems like they’d be even more useful next to a walking path.

Luckily you can still buy tannerite at Tractor Supply for that eventuality.

Sounds like more of a Sackville-Baggins activity.

I can’t get to work if I can’t drive. If I can’t get to work I can’t pay my rent or utilities.

Coldwarmotors - Canadian rednecks working on old junk cars, mostly. They’re pretty funny at times and informative if you’re interested in old American cars, they also do old French and old British cars sometimes. They also do actual restorations. He did a 60 Plymouth Fury that I wouldn’t have even bothered with and spliced it with the platform of a 60 Dodge and made a really nice car.

Fall of Civilizations - It’s a podcast, but he does video accompanyment and the content is very well written and researched.

Thenthapple - does fallout lore videos that I really like.

JTCurtisMusic - has a really good history of rock series.

WellRedComedy - Trae Crowder (the liberal redneck), Cory Ryan Forrester, and Drew Morgan do podcasts from a rural progressive view and also have a lot of their stand-up and comedy sketches

Several things, my N64, several shirts that I’ve had since highschool, both cars, and half of my tools.

Oh yeah!

The Grapes of Wrath

Well, for one, she’s still alive

Makes sense, his songs are pretty long.

The amount of Rock stars that aren’t terrible humans probably wouldn’t fill two hands.

I have one of my mom singing Sheila by Tommy Rowe and every time the song goes “bow bow bow bow” she’d tickle me.

Well, I don’t know about acclaimed, but he did some acting. I liked him in Black Dog, but I think he wasn’t really acting in that one.

An argument that is completely negated by a simple Google search of “what artists are influenced by the Beatles?”. By this point you’re just projecting your own shortcomings onto me because you lack the ability to pull your head out of your ass.
