I live in a log cabin so what would be left is a concrete foundation and a pile of tin roofing.

My tools are in a separate building so those would be left though, as well as my truck that’s not parked close to the main building.

Personally I’m longing for more discussion about ideas and less about events and definitely less about people.

15 - an alcoholic neighbour of a friend of mine saw me an my 2 friends hanging at a playground at night and invited us for a drink. He was quite drunk already and passed out pretty soon after so we stole the rest of his beer and wine and went to my friend’s place to continue drinking. Pretty fun experience all in all. R.I.P. Eki.

There’s a dedicated community for discussing this exact topic

!zombiesurvival@sopuli.xyz

It’s always going to be a tradeoff. If it’s unmoderated then you’re going to encounter a lot more spam and off-topic which you have to deal with by yourself but with moderators you’re going to get power tripping. With a truly competent AI moderator you could possibly get around this but not with humans.

In my case, I’m already doing the majority of managing what I see on my feed by myself so I doubt I’d see a huge difference were the moderators to dissapear.

Not really. Only thing that comes to mind is this vintage Stanley tape measure that I always have on my desk to use as reference when researching construction supplies. It’s small and has both metric and imperial measurements which is handy.

Apparently it’s old enough that I can’t even find a picture online of the exact same one but this is quite close. The label is a bit different on mine. No. 1210 is the model and it’s made in England in case someone wants to look into it.

EDIT: Just realised that the casing is metal, not plastic. No wonder it still exists today.

Finding out that we live in a simulation would change nothing about how I see other people or myself. That concept is perfectly compatible with how I’m living my life right now.

World would need some Good Guy Greg right now

Life is a sandbox game and nowhere it says you need to play it like other people do. I look at the lives of the “average person” and I don’t want what they have so I also don’t see why I should do what they do and expect a different outcome. Ofcourse one doesn’t just choose to not care about what others think - it’s not that easy, but there are small steps you can take towards it that you can do every day.

For example: I like looking at things. Virtually every day I notice something and go: “what is that?” A normal person would maybe look at it while walking by without stopping but not me. I’m the guy others walk by wondering what the hell is he doing. Just yesterday there was this fascinating chain mail curtain that a store uses to close in the cashier window at night and I spent a solid 2 minutes there twiddling with it while the staff was wondering if I’m going to buy something or not. Nah, I’m just studying this thing here.

That was a draft. USA has never had a concription system.

Mandatory military service doesn’t generally mean being sent to conflict zones. This is done by active military members, not conscripts.

It’s called Finnish Defence Forces and its purpose is just that; to defend Finland. We have a 1400km border with Russia.

Most conscripts are around 18 to 20 years old and the service is something between 6 to 12 months depending on your position. In general you spend weekdays at the barracks and weekends at home - with some exceptions. You don’t generally see people in military uniforms outside the military areas except for when they’re traveling to and from the barracks.

The service is mandatory for men but recently there has been some discussion on expanding that to apply to women as well. I think it’s a good system. Even if not military, then atleast some sort of community service. It acts as a sort of rite of passage.

I was going to say liquidate my investments but to be honest I’m not sure I could even spend all the money in my bank account in 31 days. I don’t even know what to buy. Beef Jerky and RedBull? I’d probably get my hands on some psychedelics though, maybe even hard drugs. One thing I would do is much more urban offroading with my truck since I no longer need to be worried about my license - or the truck. I’d probably go have a thai massage with a happy ending and try gay sex too because why not.

All in all I don’t think I’d be living that much differently. I already know I’m going to die. I just don’t know when.
