    nopeā€¦ i know reddit is trash and allā€¦ but good info on the subs vandwellers, vagabonds, and digitalnomadsā€¦

    adventure is always an optionā€¦

    (and risky and scaryā€¦)
    thereā€™s also adventurous sports, like freediving, camping:hikingā€¦ shit like thatā€¦
    i think skydiving is dumb but a lot of people consider that adventurousā€¦

    you could also do protests, volunteer firefighter, become a paramedicā€¦

    i have just given you a call to adventure: but will you answer?

      Yeah, definitely trolling

      I refuse to believe anyone is stupid enough to see this as a realistic option

        enjoy sitting in your apartment, doing the exact same thing
        every day,
        every week,
        for the rest of your lifeā€¦
        never changing anythingā€¦
        take no risksā€¦
        a handshake, with carbon monoxide
        no alarms and no surprises
        p.s. people living lives that are difficult for you to understand are not ā€œstupidā€ā€¦
        you, however, are ā€œignorantā€

            you wanted a call to adventure, i gave you oneā€¦

            read those lyrics againā€¦ itā€™s a great song

            ā€œI refuse to believe anyone is stupid enough to see this as a realistic optionā€

            yes, you called me stupidā€¦ youā€™re stupid if you think iā€™m trying to tell you every step of the wayā€¦ like ā€œget a driver licenseā€

            you could get a fucking boat, the whole point is choosing your own adventureā€¦

            iā€™m trying to remind you that you are not stuck, you are not too old to have opportunity for adventuresā€¦ you are comfortable and you are afraid of change.

            it quite common, reallyā€¦ but weā€™re not stupid

                you wanted a call to adventure what makes you say that?

                ā€œThis but for real This is what finally growing up feels like and itā€™s shitā€

                dude, just try to follow along a little with the conversation before getting all defensive.

                You think I can afford one? Or a boating license? Or the lessons? Youā€™re just assuming I already have this money, or the means to get it. Thatā€™s why youā€™re out of touch.

                youā€™re so entrenched in capitalism you think that everything requires a purchase and privilegeā€¦ but hereā€™s a documentary, from the Anarchist Yacht Club on how to get a free yacht (it still requires work)
                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lwbHYOFD-4

                still think iā€™m out of touch?

                I already am, you idiot, thatā€™s what I told you

                this whole conversation began with you saying growing up means no call to adventureā€¦ then you called me stupid, then said you didnā€™t call me stupid, then called me an ā€œidiotā€
                which, btw, is ableist languageā€¦ people with low intelligence are still qualified to have lives and opinions and conversationsā€¦

                your complete lack of consistency and character attacks make this ā€œconversationā€ rather obtuse.

                Youā€™re only stupid if you continue believing this is as simple as you say, from your position of privilege.

                now youā€™re calling me stupid againā€¦ but, my dearest friend, i never said itā€™s simpleā€¦
                it is not simpleā€¦ but it IS possibleā€¦
                also, iā€™ve done it and have been living a ā€œvagabondā€ lifestyle most of my privileged lifeā€¦
                i do suppose my intellectual upbringing and natural abilities is a privilege, in that i can confidently hitchhike and enter a city with $0 and a backpack and have a good adventureā€¦ my ability to improvise is a privilegeā€¦
                i didnā€™t start out with any money if thatā€™s what you thinkā€¦
                the things that you own, own youā€¦
                i can drop everything and go anywhere i wantā€¦

                my brother will be dying in the next year from cancerā€¦ he never traveled very muchā€¦ he always wanted to get an RV, work remotely, and travel the countryā€¦
                for years he was mostly teaching online and couldā€™ve definitely done itā€¦
                now he will be (likely) staying in the same town, getting radiation and chemotherapy until he diesā€¦ (prognosis 1 year, <10% make it to 5 years)

                iā€™m giving you advice to take chances, change it up, live the adventure that you wantā€¦ if the steps to that are unclear, then just take steps somewhere and youā€™ll eventually find the path youā€™re looking forā€¦

                ā€œThis is what finally growing up feels like and itā€™s shitā€

                i was moved by this. I do not want you to feel like shitā€¦ i want you to do something and change thatā€¦

                ā€œI am uncomfortable and I want change. You are, in fact, stating the opposite of the truthā€

                you can pretend like you donā€™t know what i mean, but i can tell weā€™re both too smart for thatā€¦ but, more accurate than ā€œcomfortableā€ would be complacent.

                the mystery of life isnā€™t a problem to solve, but a reality to experienceā€¦ A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

                i grew up poorā€¦ like no money for school lunches, second hand clothes, swimming in pollution (iā€™ll probably get cancer too)ā€¦
                i left home with a shitty old school backpack with a shitty coleman sleeping bag tied to it with a ropeā€¦

                my privilege was the freedom of having nothing to left loseā€¦

                    Ok, ultra-liberal hustle-bro.

                    holy shit youā€™re fucking crazyā€¦ i didnā€™t read the rest of your stupid screed

                    wow justā€¦ youā€™re the most full of shit person iā€™ve ever met online
                    iā€™d accuse you of being gpt but thatā€™s a lot more self-awareā€¦
                    liberal hustle-bro? is that your best attempt at concern trolling or something?
                    what a weak, pathetic, childā€¦

                    Never denied that.

                    But billionaires say the same thing.

                    i didnā€™t start out with any money if thatā€™s what you thinkā€¦

                    They all say that.

                    you are fake as fuck and pretending to be some arachno-communistā€¦ but i know a shill when i see oneā€¦
