    Has anyone been to a show at the Montopolis Bridge, Austin, TX?

    I just heard about this and though Austin, TX is a little far to travel for me I am very curious about how shows happen on a bridge. Any links or info you have I'd be interested.

    "Phrogging" - advanced squatting or ignorant crime?

    Maybe you've heard of this but I sure haven't. Sounds dangerous for all sorts of reasons and doesn't seem stealthy enough to be viable. There weren't any MSM articles about it and the Phrogging subreddit was private. Dark web something something. Your thoughts...

    How will covid and economic crisis effect travel culture long term? Discuss!

    I've just barely got started on the road and now I'm stuck holes up until covid ends, and I'm worried that things won't be the same after and I already missed the best window. I'm new to this so please jump in, how does everyone think things will change in the next few years?

    I'm bill and I want to know this culture

    I have a lot of names but here I'm bill. I'm 19 and I travel a lot but I don't really know anyone in this "culture". I'm from the US but I lived in Russia for a while. I like pychedelic drugs but not other drugs. I want to meet more people who live like this.

    The progressive movement and the hypocrisy of our tavern culture

    Wisconsin is said to have a "Tavern Culture" because we brew so much beer. There are tons of neighborhood bars in larger communities and every little town has a bar. Wisconsin is actually the birthplace of the progressive movement which is tantamount to any discussion of social inclusion in a...

    Traveler Culture as Evolutionary Lifeboat

    Rome as a Republic lasted many centuries, longer than the US has existed, but for a variety of reasons it fractured and fell. Some of the great Mesoamerican civilizations suddenly abandoned their cities, possibly due to drought and/or political collapse. Weather, infighting, one thing or...

    Politics of culture

    Any cultural movement or sub-society is nothing more than a will towards republicanism. There is a pattern within it. The more it tries the more dysfunctional and neurotic it becomes.
