Finally, a response that sounds human! Thank you! You asked me to explain, but did not answer my question by clarifying your first reaponse, so it seemed like you were just wasting time. Now that you've explained what you meant by "cope", there is something to discuss.

The reason for my first post is that lawns have very high liability for minmal reward. The typical western culture lawn of today came from suburban planning. Each person had a house, but are packed in tight. As a marketing ploy, the original suburban developments used lawns to mimic French aristocrats that used large lawns as a defense against invading troops (or citizens). This was to give the human sardine a feeling of false regality after their purchase.

The current benefits that people ascribe to lawns are that they are comfortable to walk on, even if most people don't. However, the amount of maintenance, fertilizers, abatement sprays, and water needed is huge compared to ground covers, or moss; which give the same results without the same constraint on funds or time.

Using the same space for growing medicine or food uses less resources, and yields something of value (and you can still zen out). You could have an area that's pleasant to walk on, provides a tangible value, and with more time and money than what a lawn will allow.

So no, I'm not jealous of lawns. They started as a way to sell houses, and the risk-to-reward ratio is horrible compared to food, medicine, or moss.

Not all, some are on the Homesteading, Survival, Prepping specific ones.

majority of active nostriches are technical crowds - coders-dev / it-folks similar ones after 20 months - real mass non-tech-savy masses are yet arrive - they are happy using ad-based instagram tiktok snapchat etc n selling own privacy unknowingly for now - some are also paying for it.

I never respected you. To respect someone you have to know them, and I do not in any real sense. I gleaned some valuable information at times from things you have said but that's different from respect.

However, seeing how someone behaves towards others when there's no consequences for their behavior is a great window into what kind of person they are.

Take a look in that window, see what's reflected. Are you sure that's the kind of person you want to be?

I've got a feeling the whole "advanced" civilisation thing where most people are doing what most people don't need or seldom need is never stable or maintainable long term, the problem is the population has gone beyond the numbers that can be sustained otherwise...

Rome was rather a soft landing, I don't see how it can be for us.

That's why we're here, and not there.

We've actually been that for a long time now...

We're all industrially farmed animals, now, and some animals are more tamed than others.

Back to stage coach robberies eh?

Who will build the roads?

Honestly why do we care? What if no one build any roads and then suddenly we were left with only trails in the woods? Isn't that a much more adventurous and poetic life that would make the world much more interesting?

I thought socialists and statists of all kinds hated cars and trucks. So they should be for an anarchist society with no roads too.

Nostr has already begun to develop silos just like the various chat ecosystems...

This is why people still use SMS btw, they can actually talk to everyone with a mobile.

Just 80's whitegoods floating through space for eternity.

The idiot has already chosen their side, you may have noticed that ilk will not divert no matter the evidence or reasoning.

Normally, or rather what was once normal, you may have been correct.

That bright flash that ends their existence is the only thing that will have an effect at this point.

The devil wants to kill, steal, and destroy. Carefully consider what you are saying about another person. Anger can make people blind. When you see clearly you can lead others to the truth.

Its a shocker isn't it?? 🙄 🤷🏻‍♂️

Got my basement all ready to go.
