    When is suicide okay?

    that is 'the' real serious question. If you're really at that point, i encourage you to not use the age thing as a reason to not travel abroad. I read your whole message and thats what stood out to me as a reservation. Go down to Mexico or something, just keep exploring if that's all you can...

    relatable - when i used to do a lot of blow, it was always fundamental to smoke a couple of blunts to come down. i used to have a built in timer when to switch over, but of course it had a lot to do with the bag running out. blunts were already rolled and ready before i started on the powder. it...

    tips for booze-free travel?

    I've found that talking to people who've gone before me or ahead of me helps. Getting solid advice from their experiences, starting to absorb how they move in the world sober, has started to rub off on me

    Harassment and fears of Theft

    that's some quality stuff as usual from @roguetrader This is just from me - in all honesty, when I imagine myself living out of a backpack again, I just think the best way to control my anxiety around theft is being willing to lose anything I have. Being around certain people, behaving certain...

    Thoughts on buddhism?

    I think I follow what you mean. It's this curious problem. It's easy for us to say we'd make this all disappear 'if we could', but we can't. So we cannot really say what we'd do. But I know if I make some effort to love and appreciate, I can live more properly even if it isn't what I 'think it...

    Thoughts on buddhism?

    nice to have a fresh perspective first of all - I am a functioning insane person - so if this comes across as 'mental', yes, it is exactly the way I am. at my current stage in life, I think more about 'principles' and 'basic human decency'. Honestly, acceptance makes a huge difference...

    Do not fight the system. Go around it. Play with it.

    First of all, I think you have some good ideas here and I'm happy that you have what you have going for you. Something I wanted to bring up about this part in particular, is just how different the world Thoreau lived in and the world we live in is. It's the place and the time that makes the...

    Hello everybody!

    there's a difference between being aggressive and being assertive. just be prepared. what's it do in your pack? maybe find a middle place in terms of accessibility between the hip and the pack

    The Politics of The Art and Science of Dumpster Diving by John Hoffman

    Interesting post, it might not even be a political issue. He might have a more chemical issue. Extremely self-centered and unaware, he might suffer from a serious mental issue or something of that sort. It does seem like it could be satire, right? or we think it should be satire? "Truth is...

    Best cities to regroup/get back on feet?

    This seems like a good enough thread where I maybe shouldn't make another. I'm curious today about any takes on what are the best cities to get around without a car .. especially in the Appalachia region .. but anywhere in the USA. I used to live in Morgantown, WV as a student and the PRT and...

    Question I have a problem

    Appreciating your honesty. True confession I applied to the military last year at the age of 31. Long story short, I had things lined up for a good job and failed the hearing test, so to my understanding I am effectively blacklisted because my hearing is inadequate. I was very desperate and...

    Hi, how's it going?

    Welcome! I can relate, it's a nice feeling like we don't have much holding us back. Although sometimes we discover along the way that we may very well have more in that department than we first realized. You should add some more personal info for a proper introduction, I believe - What have...

    Ted Kaczynski was right….

    seems like the guy had a lot of super ideas and was able to execute a lot in his life (no pun intended) but it was still far from sufficient relative to his pain. my understanding is that the last straw was when he figured out hangin out by himself in the bush actually sucked, as it did when...

    Website Updates Some personal updates from me and how that ties into StP

    Good job, Matt, it sounds like you're in a good place. I have always resented when people tell me to "let go of control and let things unfold" but the more I am able to do that, the more shit paradoxically(?) works out, and works out AMAZINGLY- like it never could have when I was too much...

    what are your thoughts on going from high economic class into this lifestyle?

    alright I got an itch to spin a little personal yarn long ago - let's call it my teenage years - I had more than a hunch that people who run their own business, stay close to their biological family, go to the doctor for their check-ups even when they don't amount to shit, revolve decades of...

    what are your thoughts on going from high economic class into this lifestyle?

    @spider generally speaking anything different that we can try is going to broaden our pallete of human experience. go & do as you wish, just consider the consequences and try to make the best choice. you've got more opportunities than many, so you have more options to customize your future. as...

    Major reckoning regarding....what to do next?

    I pretty much have accepted that this type of feeling is never going to leave me, the pursuit of one desire leaves another unquenched. just trying to find the best balance between priorities is as good as it gets.

    Nonabusive Tactics for Breaking up Dog Fights

    Cheap Tequila. I moved in with a couple of guys who had these dogs. the dogs weren't that fond of each other and had been in scraps before. When I moved in I was shown atop the fridge a bottle of the most lowgrade tequila, purposefully so, that nobody wanted to drink. Since none of these guys...

    i feel like one can agree with both what Odin's saying and Lupo's original point with this thread One, there is absolutely a sinister presence in our government that hasn't left just because Trump has left office. Two, it's nice to see him go and it's not a bad time to just feel a bit nice...

    Marc Chavez, "Chavo" thief, liar, junkie, general asshole

    that was a riveting write-up. my youngest brother behaves this way (he's currently trapped in the system for related offenses - which I wouldn't wish on anyone, but for fuck's sake) people like this royally suck, and having one in my immediate family is just unbearable. I was glad that it sounds...

    Dealing with mental health and anger during 2020

    there's a lot that is simply outside of your control, I'd gradually swap out the drinking for yoga and light cardio, maybe some jogging, then focus on the bigger stuff like Can I cope with this job? but if you're goin to the ER for hypertension, filling up on booze is only gonna keep hurting...
