It's not breakfast time for me yet.
Breakfast time is at 1:00 in the afternoon. I feel like bacon and toast today methinks.
Why at 1PM?
Because from 6 o'clock sharp to 1 in the afternoon, I'm too busy to have the time to make breakfast.

What a beautiful sentiment, Sandtrap. I never thought of it that way.
You know, this is a good morning. Today, this morning is damn fine. And, this thread derailed half a mile off the tracks from home base. It's like watching a train wreck that you can't stop watching.
And your picture. Your comment, paired with your picture, just makes my fucking morning. I can't, I'm fucking sorry, at this point, no matter how serious you are, I appreciate it, but from this point onwards, this thread is just a comedy to me.
Man, everything is just great, isn't it?
YOU'RE DAMN FUCKING RIGHT IT IS. This is probably one of the best damn mornings I've had in a long while. And more than that too, the flood seems to be in a reasonably uppity mood today. It's a good thing.

Oh I have lots to say, but I will not share that information with anyone.
Ah, come on! No harm can ever come from you letting somebody out there know that you appreciate them.

can you leave?
Yes.
...your lack of understanding is bothering me.
I give up. You win.
You're better off just ignoring him.
Of course someone I made humiliate themselves would believe that. Sorry I attempted to wake you to reality.
Who was that at?
If this is meant to be directed at me, he didn't "humiliate" me. I just got fed up with how full of shit he tends to be in any discussion. So word of warning, there's really no reason to attempt debating anything because he acts like everything he says is the ultimate truth.
Now it wold be nice if this thread didn't have to keep going this route.
You ever go ice skating in a vehicle Nukes? Wanna ride shotgun while I do a figure 8 in my truck on the ice in a parking lot? Since we're on the subject of derailment, why not talk about my province and this wonderful hospitable snow that's rolliing in! Smell that clean air!
Ice skating in...a vehicle?
The grid roads up here, when frozen in the winter, are miles long stretches of ice. When you go fast enough, you can slide down two miles worth of road with no traction whatsoever, like a slip n' slide for vehicles.
In a big frozen space like a parking lot, I could literally practically go ice skating with my truck by sliding around everywhere. I'm half assed familiar with braking and turning on ice when you lose control, so that you can regain control. Through controlled loss of control, in essence, you can go ice skating in your vehicle.
That sounds...terrifying. But then again I come from an area where it doesn't snow so I would no idea how difficult driving a vehicle on ice would be. I mean as it is, people tend to get in a lot of accidents every time it rains. Kind of ridiculous. (It's rumored that we're sold lower quality tires in this region. Also because it doesn't rain often, the roads become crazy slick because of the oil.)
A winter or two ago I just about died when my truck slid towards an oncoming semi. I slid on the ice and veered right for it in the ruts and managed to turn myself over in time. Missed my driver side mirror by a few inches. Spoopy ice is spoopy. And I'm still just a newbie. I get fuked all the time when I take curves, and the curve of the road leans downwards on an angle, so as you travel the curve you just coninually slide downwards onto the other side of the road. Fun fun!

You can't empathize with something that doesn't have feelings to being with.
Okay. That's it. I'm done here. Well done Max, well done.

you can't really do much
You can. Moving to a more prosperous area for growth and foraging.
No, you don't seem to get it. My province, is a big fat fucking slab of flat plains. There is nowhere else to go because
a) All available land is owned
b)Anything for sale is ridiculous in price
c)When one part of this province is hit by weather, the entire province is hit by the same weather in general
d)Money is a tightrope up here
e)Why bother moving when you already have something to start with?
Point is, I live here, I do what I can, and that's that. I don't win everything because that's not possible. If I did win everything with this so called magical determination of mine, then I'd be king shit of the world. But I'm not. Crops fail, disease knocks you down, weather pisses on you, injuries and complications knock you out of the fight.
Try as you might, you can't change everything, you can't manage everything, and most of all, even if I did manage to go somewhere else, the problems would still be present, because that's what problems do. Problems appear no matter where you go.
So, as BC said, folk in poor countries could try and move around to better parts. But with such a wide space to travel, they'd either die along the way, or they'd arrive and meet the same fate. Sometimes, the odds aren't in your favor. And you can't change that.
There's always a plane. Just saying, if it's sometimes impossible to survive off of the land there and you won't be able to afford to live there by other means, I'd move to a more suitable area so I can survive.
For folks in poorer countries, wait until you have minimal supplies and then walk to a better area.
 You're welcome to get some snowshoes and enjoy these fine Saskatchewan roads in the winter any time you like. Be my guest. Or, see if you can find some way to preserve minimal food rations when all you make in a day is enough food to survivie for the day in one of those poorer countries. They didn't make the term "rat trap" for nothing.

The computer down here has burnt out speakers and I just finished dealing with a nice chinaman who enjoys our lemon pie.

Which was exactly the point that BC made. Sometimes whatever works for you doesn't work. And you can't do much to change it. Only try.
But my point is you can always change it.
Not so. You can try. But it doesn't always work. Because with trying, comes the potential for failure. Trying doesn't mean you win.
If you fail it would be your fault, though. You can always succeed with enough determination.
Again, not so. There are always factors outside of your control. For instance, you can weed and care for a garden up here, but if you get shitty fucking weather that drowns it or scorches it to dust, you can't really do much. You can try and keep it going for as long as you can, but if the weather doesn't fuck off, you're shit out of luck. You could build a greenhouse, but that needs materials, time, and effort to construct. Time that could be needed for something more critical, effort and material that could be used for something immidiate that needs to be fixed here and now. Everything here is like a scale. You never run out of things to do, or troubles to fight. It all depends on which one weighs the most, and what you can do with the time you have. But you can't get them all.

As I said, this place, and all it comes with, pays itself and only itself. Disconnect it all and then you're in shit when the bills demand money to be paid. Plus, I don't need to move, because there's nowhere else to go here, there is nowhere else I'd rather be.
But even if I wanted to physically move, I'd have to abandon everything I own and take what I could and stuff it into a backpack, and hitchike. Hitchike to where? Who the fuck knows, because it's all the same. City, town, or country, the situation is the same.
Everybody walks on a tightrope here. When it snaps, you're fucked.
It's tough up here. But that doesn't mean I'm a quitter.
Whatever works for you.

We've paid off 12,000
You've had money to move.
That 12,000 dollars was made, and given to the bank over the course of five years. So, no, no we didn't. Not in one shot.
You have internet and a device to use it. You can afford moving.

Money. Don't have enough to move. And, mostly, Canada, save for the extreme coasts, is like this. I was not born here by choice. So, moving anywhere else leads to the same scenario.
If you live in a structure and can grow food at any time you have more than enough money to move.
Not so. The structure I live in cost 100,000 dollars. We've paid off 12,000 or so of the 100,000 doallar debt. This building, pays for itself, just barely. We don't have room to shut down, pack up, buy another house, and move. My sister? Their seeds are half from the land itself. Self grown, self harvested and stored. They can only grow food for four, maybe five months of the year. The average house around here, and a cheap one at that in town, goes for bare minimum, we're talking shit quality, barely standing, 10,000 dollars. That doesn't count rent, electricity, water, and everything else, among gas to travel to work outside of town. The bottom line is, up here, shit isn't easy. No matter where you move, it's the same fucking thing.

And you know what you need to get there? Money
Not true.
Over 8 months of winter, fuck yeah you do. Over hundreds of miles with a child to care for, in -30 degree weather, fuck yeah you do. Because up here, doing things without the system, or not having a setup for yourself that can operate on it's own, means you die.
You live in Alaska or Canado or something? Still wouldn't be that bad walking.
Saskatchewan.
Nigga if you want to walk these roads, be my fucking guest. Your skin freezes in under 4 minutes of exposure.
Why live there at all, then?
