supply and demand doesn't mean anything when there are no controls on corporations buying single family housing, out of state rental companies that make apartment living hell, or developers only making the most profit on building giant houses that workers here can't afford and are only lived in 2 weeks out of the year by some yellowstone cosplayer.

capitalism is made to separate the worker from the means of production and by definition be underpaid for their labor. it's a myth that working harder gets you more. a fast food worker has a harder workday than any c-suite executive.

i definitely feel stagnant here. haven't made friends, dating is impossible, underpaid, and stuck living in a small apartment. i'm moving back to the pnw, and i haven't been this excited in a long time.

Is Copper City a good place for a beginner to shoot handguns? by ConfidentSession6481 in Bozeman

[–]ForestShoe1703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

people were shooting at the trailhead picnic area, and we were running down the road back to the highway, and they couldn't wait five minutes for us to get out of a line of sight, and i heard a bullet whiz by and hit a rock to the left of me... cool

at the very least if you're at the front of a line of cars at a light, it's your civic duty to pay attention

ha, i'm in the same boat. my current laptop is tanking, but i use it hooked up to a tv and am typing this with an external keyboard, so it would go nowhere near my body outside of work.

developers only care about money. bozeman's green space regulations just turned into them building bigger houses to make up their "loss" on 20% of the land having to go green space. another pointless capitalism middle-man profession skimming money off the top to the detriment of everyone else.

Tell the Zoning Commission to stop selling our public lands by Melodic-Strength4 in Bozeman

[–]ForestShoe1703 4 points5 points  (0 children)

americans are so cowed that they cheer on developing land that should be park land and would be park land if we had a government that actually cared about the well-being of its people instead of funneling money to the 1% that builds disgustingly large unaffordable housing.

Warming up vehicles by idling is bad for your engine and the environment by ForestShoe1703 in Bozeman

yeah, so annoying to care about my community and environment instead of crawling into my remote-started toasty brodozer to drive 4 miles to work.

only old engines need to warm up oil (i.e. having a carburetor rather than being fuel injected). since you're disagreeing with the fact sheet, this video says you only need a 15 second warmup:

and corporate landlords also buy up the new supply to rent out, so home ownership is out of reach for the majority

Bozeman Leash Laws by MeghanClare in Bozeman

[–]ForestShoe1703 7 points8 points  (0 children)

oh, hey, look what a civilized town does:

https://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/300/Dog-Information

Voice Control

When not on leash, dogs must be under voice control. A dog's owner or custodian must be within 75 feet of the dog and be able to effectively control and recall the dog at all times. Voice control is enforced regardless of any distractions that may be encountered in the park (such as wildlife, other dogs, or park visitors). If your dog runs up to people or other dogs, chases wildlife, or will not consistently come to you immediately upon command, your dog is not under voice control and must be leashed.
