There's a lot of truth to dead internet theory. As someone who's been online since there was an online to be on I've seen it dry up. The internet used to be vast, like incalculably vast. Once commercial interests got involved it began contracting into what we have today. Mega websites like social media hubs acted like black holes swallowing up huge swaths of smaller sites. Free hosting companies with huge user bases went under and companies managing the data storage of the net began purging sites who's owners hadn't accessed them in however long or who'd stopped paying the hosting bill. It's been like watching stars in the night sky blink out of existence one by one until mostly only the brightest stars remain.
Unless colleges figure out another way to get a diverse student population you can expect 99% of top university spots to be filled by Indian and Chinese men within 6-8 years.
As a kid I dreamt of owning a huge, custom-built castle that look all spooky and medieval on the outside but was completely high tech on the inside. Fell a bit short of that dream... #vanlife
It all comes down to how many house-like amenities you can build into a rig. If you can get solar, internet, AC, heat, hot & cold running water, a shower (preferably recirculating), a fridge, stove (and/or microwave and/or oven), and a toilet then you're on easy street. Then if you want to travel you need either savings or a mobile way of making money. It's only scary if you're living homeless style with few amenities, little money, and staying in a lot of urban areas, that's bottom barrel right there.
But you know vanlife is awesome when one of the biggest complaints from long time vanlifers is becoming jaded to waking up to scenic vistas.
Check out Foresty Forest and Vancity Vanlife on youtube. They're both Canadian and been at it a long time. Vancity Vanlife is a good kick off point since he started with the most basic build possible and shows the progression of how he built it up over time. Also, not Canadian but Ryan Twomey has a more full-amenity build. Otherwie just search for "van tour" to find a bazillion different builds to get an idea of what's possible.
BTW when searching the term "vanlife" on Youtube there's literally 10 anti-vanlife videos that are always near the top of the search regardless of whether you've watched them already or told YT not to recommend them, it's kinda weird.
Bad execution, should have handled the letters with gloves at all times, used a fake return address and mailed them from somewhere far from her home with no cameras around. Lady was amateur hour.
Just a quick take this week. This episode sucked, the writing felt like season 2 of Picard and the production value felt like an episode of some random cop show. Too many logic errors, plot holes and contrivances to list. Third episode of Strange New Worlds S2 and they haven't gone to a single Strange New World yet. Feels like everything people hate about nuTrek has been dialed up in this show. Fucking hell.

What's wrong with shutting off access to the top universities in America for everyone who isn't an Asian man? That needs to be explained?

Cool, dude didn't have a childhood. That shouldn't be a prerequisite for attending university.
Now I'm just picturing the balls it would take to produce man milk that could be labeled as a "huge swath". You got the syndrome Angus?

This video led me down a whole socialist/communist wormhole for a few hours yesterday. I'm probably on a list now. Thanks op.
It was chad IHOP vs virgin Denny's. The outcome was preordained.

Not I. Would be ironic if my ad blocker blocked their anti ad blocker ad.
Hadn't heard about this. All because of one DMCA. Sucks.
