Media ignore racial attack on Larry Elder because he’s a black Republican by [deleted] in news

Larry Elder has been a public figure for decades. I've followed a few shows for a while and eventually you learn all of their personal opinions because it's impossible to be "on" for that many hours every week for years. I have no illusions he's a savior or perfect figure but I highly doubt that he's the literal opposite of his public persona.

lol there really isn't no winning spot for them. Either they turn against the monster they are apart of and be eaten alive by both sides or go along hoping that Democrats seize totalitarian rule and leave a seat at the table for you. Dark times.

A lot of users are bots or sock-puppet accounts

Here or there? I'm so use to talking to bots there that having some here for some artificial company wouldn't be a bad thing until humans roll in tbh. It does feel like the early days of reddit here but I moved over to reddit against my will while now I'm searching for a place like this. I'm hoping to help this place along.

Unless I'm confused about that sub, it's pro-Bernie right? Then what I said stand. I honestly thought you guys were part of the problem and reading this has changed that completely. I still don't like Bernie, IMO he's a sell out but if you guys actually feel this way I can easily get along with you. I can related with this OP way more than most of the shit I was seeing on .win or gab.

lol I'm not an outdoor type. I want a camper for the kitchen, bathroom, bed space and just need something close to a desk, table and bench would work.

While I'm cheap, I'm looking for something that could work anywhere. I'd like to be able to just move on a moment's notice. I'm impulsive and being locked into being in one spot has me going nuts. I miss my college years of taking a 5 hour road trip for White Castle because we watched the movie. I want to be able to just move when bored, without having to pack and find a new apartment. If I own my own shit and keep my cost of living low I can just pick up a shitty job where ever I go if needed. I think if I cut back on rent I probably have enough bitcoin to last for a few years at current prices. If it runs it might be enough to be fully retired.

Man, seeing this post has given me clarity and I thank you greatly for it. I kept considering myself on the right because going to reddit and seeing where the lines have fallen, the left seems insane and the right seemed to support freedom. Then when Reddit banned NNN I started looking for alternatives knowing I was one of the people they don't want around. Looking at all the different social media sites that have gain popularity and how right wing they are, I felt just as out of place there as I did on Reddit. I'm not a Trump supporter so .win was miserable. Gab looks like Christian twitter. I was losing hope of a place centered around liberty and then I found this place a couple days ago.

Now browsing all I see this post and couldn't agree any more. Then I see the sub and I'm shocked. I always knew my feelings were more left wing but I didn't know you guys existed. I'm pretty sure I'll still disagree with you guys on everything economic but I'll happily fight for your freedom to say things I disagree with.

I hope we learn the lessons of Reddit and don't make the same mistakes.

I've thought about converting a bus literally since high school 20 years ago now. My concerns were, it seems expensive and I want to be able to move freely without always bringing my house with me. I can drive a truck or SUV through some small town and not have issues. Driving a bus will have all the limitations that come with long vehicles which I usually dislike having to figure out. Not the easiest to park or take tight turns with. And again, if anything breaks down needing to be brought to the shop, your house is in the shop.

I want the separation between home and transportation. This doesn't have to be everyone's concern though. I envy the van life guys over my current situation even though I have the separation I desire.

If you don't own your own land though, are there good places to park a camper long-term?

No idea, hopefully I get to figure this out soon. Another thing I was considering, just buying straight up land with a field wouldn't be terrible expensive. The value in land comes from it's scarcity but the structures on it scale the price up quickly. I've seen plots in New England when I was looking for under $10k and we have notoriously high real estate prices. I'm wondering if a piece an hour outside of like Sioux Falls, SD would be dirt cheap and basically just build a parking lot. Use all the money saved to get internet and electricity connected. Build a trailer park for one in the middle of no where.

Living but I specifically want to be able to use my vehicle without having to tow my "house" everywhere.

Basically I want to be able to live somewhere and move when I feel like it. Even if it's within the same state. I live in what seems to be the worst spot of New England and living 30 mins in any direction seems like it would have better options but can't move a house.

I'm used to shitty apartments and I mostly just want something that would leak. I also would find it kinda fun to work on it and learn how to maintain a dwelling before taking on an entire house. I will keep an eye out when I start shopping for one. I'm honestly not expecting much for my budget.

Oh speaking of this, anyone know a good way to download all my pictures from my iPhone to my computer HD? This shit spooked me enough that I stopped using my iPhone.

The one that I've been considering is getting a camper. You aren't tied to a single location like you are with land so if the area or state starts going crazy, move. All of your resources are also not really tied to any system. The reason for a camper over an RV is this way if your daily use vehicle needs work you don't have to worry about your house being in the shop for multiple days. Also it's generally much cheaper upfront. I saw I can get one for well under $10k off Craigslist in my area and I dunno of any livable land near me for equally as little, never mind one with a house on it.

Of all the replacements for Reddit this is by far the most promising I've found so far. Just a little light on users.
