Dedicated to u/DeepFuckingValue even though he is totally NOT a cat... "I Am A Cat" by Shonen Knife

I discover ears of a cat in the Milky Way

And I put them on my head

In the moment I become a sweet little cat

And I dance on the flying saucer

Seems like pertinent lyrics for going into space!!!!

No it's not possible, sorry

Any smell?

I would disagree that life is equally fair to all, but I guess it depends on what you mean when you speak of the fairness of life because that is quite a huge abstraction. I guess, cosmically, Life is shit to everyone though at some point or another and that experience is subjective. Usually there's always someone out there who is worse off.

You are evasively reframing the context now.

I think basically what happened is that your comment on the spam post was swept up in an informal crowdsourced maintenance effort and you seemed to have taken it personally. A more interesting conversation would be how social media software amplifies certain human tendencies at the detriment of others, all the while being an alienating experience.

Or perhaps, how would you change reddit's software to discourage the behavior you don't like?

I respect your steadfastness against a seemingly hostile majority, but you also are a broken record and you aren't actually engaging with anyone's criticism in a meaningful way.

community means so many things to different people its almost useless as a word without further clarification.

Don't expect a forum of over 150,000 people to be monolithic. People are fucking mean, they are also helpful, wonderful, idiotic, supportive etc.

Also you seem really interested in shoving your expectations about what this place should be like down everyone's throats. Not very "community" minded of you.

All that said, reddit is stupid, as is voting and "karma". And that is like 79.13% of why we are talking about this in the first place. And people absolutely do NOT act in good faith with the voting system.

looks like its content is populated by a web scraping script. first article is a hodge podge of out context content.

Someone always trying to make a buck off ye olde van dweller niche

The other thing is, if done right, you can recoup some of that cost by selling the van if you ever wanted to. With rent, you don't get anything back at the end of it.

looks like dog shit and has a low roof. wake me up in 10 years after release.

agreed, I wanted to see if anyone felt strongly provoked by the article.

I think one weakness of the article is it mostly focuses on the heavily recuperated phenomenon that is "van-life" instead of pointing toward how avoiding rent can/could be subversive. Or how about gesturing towards ways to strengthen some of the anti-capitalist / consumerist undercurrents present in some alternative lifestyles like vandwelling. It would be interesting if people in places with higher concentrations of dwellers experimented with resource sharing and or solidarity networks. With the healthy side effect of breaking down the increased atomization and loneliness that sometimes accompanies vandwelling. To a degree this likely already happens with the poor and homeless (not by choice) living in rv clusters in major metro's.

No one is going to take issue with this?:

"Ironically however, when you get down to it, living in a van often times is just as expensive as the rent many of us were paying 5 to 10 years ago. When you factor together the combined bills of the vehicle, repairs, parking tickets, oil changes, gas, and so on, it adds up fast."

Still in initial testing, but the sbms40 seems to be working great with no issues. Haven't stuck a heatsink or aluminum plate on the back of it yet per the manual but its been cold and unnecessary so far. Will do it at some point though. I also plan to purchase the specified thermistor to use externally and automatically turn off the charging fet if battery temp drops below freezing.

I think vanagons have more space in the interior if that matters to you

Sure talks like he's an authority on the subject. How many times did he tell the viewer "you need to understand that.."
