I’ve got quite a lot of rice and beans saved up, and some canned goods and I’m a mechanic by trade, 2nd least likely to die in an Apocalypse scenario, 1st being Doctors, of course.
I’m rural and have running water just a short walk from the property if the well stops pumping and I’ve got an old revolver with a few rounds in case I feel like checking-out early.
You guys?
living outside the country good buddy
That’s not really an option for me. I have torn feelings with my family. My cousins are all my age and like brothers to me, but were taken in by the Trump bullshit like everyone else around me.
Die or lose my family and eventually die? I dunno, man. I might toss a quarter over it.
sorry to hear that.
you certainly don’t have to travel if you dont want to, I just like people being aware of the option, but I’m not following one thing:
How does disagreeing with and being alienated from your family make traveling less of an option for you?
Hell, I disowned my dad for making a racist act, pretty much, pointing to a black child at a golf course and making subtle monkey actions. Later that day I said fuck it, came out to him as trans. The following weeks that he contacted my partner and I proved my decision to banish him was correct, and so I did. A zero tolerance policy for intolerant people is a must imo
Parents have no hold over you, not really. If they don’t deserve your presence, don’t allow it. I hope, however, that your cousins would accept your choice and stay in contact with you, because sibling love is so much more valuable.
Families shouldn’t be torn over political garbage anyway, priorities are all out of wack
wow that is crazy, your dad’s actions were crazy I mean, I’m glad to hear you came out to him and severed that tie.
“Parents have no hold over you, not really. If they don’t deserve your presence, don’t allow it.”
can’t agree more with you here.
Holy shit, that’s awful. Sorry your dad is awful, but good on you for cutting ties.
You can’t choose your relatives. But you can choose your family.
Some people get lucky, relatives and family are the same thing. I’m sorry you weren’t so fortunate, friend.
Thanks! I’m okay. Like you say, I have friends who are my family :) we support each other. It’s good to know that relatives aren’t the only potential source of such care, despite what they might teach aha
If they’re all still Trumpers you’ve already lost them, you just haven’t realized it yet.
You can rebuild elsewhere. It’s not easy, but you can build community in another country, if you’re willing to integrate in the host culture.
