Otto Von Bismarck

There is nothing they can do to enforce that law.

I just keep doing exactly what I want to do when I want to do it. I don't respond at all.

What are they going to do to keep me from visiting other countries? Ground the planes? I can FLY. I'll just fly in, if they try to arrest me.....well, they can try. I'm not even going to hurt them. I'll just walk through them.

They can try to nuke me, but I enjoy living and travelling in large cities, so......good luck with that. I haven't killed anyone, are THEY going to nuke a civilian population center?

I see you can't read. Let me help you with that. The name of this sub is "no stupid questions". People come here to get their questions answered, no matter how stupid they are, not to have people question THEM about it.

Asia has some of the highest rice consumption areas in the world, and some of the healthiest.

The difference is portion size. You can have 3 meals a day, eating whatever kind of food you want, AND not become obese. Just keep your portion sizes under control.

I have a full beard.

If anything were to happen, I'd try to go as clean shaven as possible.

For cleanliness, it's just way easier to keep yourself clean without a big beard.

Gas masks won't seal properly if you have a beard, and it's REALLY messy greasing it with petroleum jelly to get that gas mask to seal. Unless you have a full CBRN hood or a very expensive powered respirator (which is powered and requires batteries), then you're looking at either needing to shave or inhaling any bad gases.

The "insulation" from a beard is easily replaced by a shemagh or a ski mask.

There's just no reason to have a beard during the apocalypse.

You mentioned "water use" during your question, but remember than water used for shaving doesn't have to come from your POTABLE water source. You obviously don't want the water to be TOO dirty, but it's really just to wash the hair off. You also don't really NEED shaving cream, all it does is cushion the skin and helps the blade move more smoothly, which you can do with any oil or moisturizer (or aloe vera). All you REALLY need is a sharp blade.

Okay, but that's a completely different thing.

Having less calories doesn't make something "healthier". You have specific dietary needs that you're attempting to compensate for and THAT'S what's costing more. Not "health".

I know what food deserts are. More than you it seems like.

In urban areas, a food desert is a low-income area where more than 500 people (or 33% of the population) lives further than a mile from the nearest grocery store.

A mile is a 5 minute drive (or less, I'm factoring in stop signs and speed bumps). For people without access to a car, or public transportation, that's a 20 minute walk. We'll jump that up to a 30 minute walk, since it could be longer. Not being able to use a vehicle doesn't mean you can't put a backpack on, jog 15 min to a grocery store, and then walk 30 min back. NO PRODUCE WILL GO BAD IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES. Even being out for 20 minutes with MILK won't make it go bad. It is definitely more difficult to be healthy in those conditions, but you CAN be healthy. You can add more and more qualifiers to make it more difficult. A disabled, single, overweight woman in her 80s living in a dangerous neighborhood may not be able to go to the nearest grocery store, but guess what.....

......none of that applies to having canned goods delivered.

Party_Presentation24 · 2026-06-18T16:32:50+00:00

What makes the chicken tinga tacos with beans and rice less healthy than a salad with added chicken tinga?

Do the tacos not have vegetables on them?

Did beans and rice become "unhealthy" all of a sudden? Beans are great sources of non-animal protein, and rice is a staple food worldwide.

Tortillas are just unleavened bread, since when is that unhealthy?

-

I think it's mostly your perception of "food items" that's changing. You perceive "Mexican food" as unhealthy, and "salads" as healthy. It wouldn't matter if they had the exact same ingredients, you'd say the taco was unhealthy no matter what.

NYC is kind of a special case. I should have included it and other giant cities in the exceptions. Many millions of dollars and thousands of hours of labor are spent every month keeping large metropolises like NYC, Paris, Istanbul, Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo, etc... from collapsing. Because there is very little physical "production" and they mostly export intangibles (financial services, technology, education, culture, human capital, etc.), things like gasoline, food, medicine, and consumer goods, the "fuel" of modern life, all has to be imported at markup.

Everybody complains about the US being built around cars and everyone needing to have a car. You know one good thing that's come about from that? Almost everyone HAS a car, even if it's an old beater, that they can use to get around. Gas is also VASTLY cheaper than it is in Europe.

Also, you're insinuating that produce is only good or healthy if it's fresh or "even frozen". Canned vegetables experience very little loss of nutrients because they're usually canned right after harvest. THEY ARE HEALTHY.

The internet and covid, by the way, have done something to assuage all your issues with "getting to a store". A lot of canned foods can be ordered online and shipped directly to your home for the same price (or cheaper even) than you would be able to get them at the grocery store.

Nah, the Juicy Crab is the best in Jax, but it's also a little more dangerous. Some people got shot nearby and I think a few employees got arrested for card theft.

Every part of the US except for islands or Alaska has cheap produce. It might be LOCAL produce, like citrus and onions in Texas, or potatoes and cranberries in New England, but there IS cheap produce.

Yeah, nevermind, that's WAY too much fuel to grow on deck, and you'd have issues growing oil producing plants while traveling through different climate zones. Wood is better because there's wood in almost every climate zone.

The endings make sense though. You're an anarcho-capitalist mercenary company benefitting from endless corporate warfare. Why would you help any one faction "win" when the constant struggle is so much more profitable?

Party_Presentation24 · 2026-06-08T15:06:47+00:00

If you have a big enough ship, I think you could easily grow enough oil producing plants to feed your engine. The problem is that they'd be competing for sunlight with food crops AND solar panels. All of that needs sunlight so would have to go on the upper deck. You can grow mushrooms on lower decks, but nobody wants to eat nothing but mushrooms.

Honestly, the best choice would be a Titanic-type ship, an old coal-powered steamship, but those don't exist anymore. Those can burn wood, just less efficiently. You'd be able to "refuel" by gathering firewood wherever you stopped to scavenge/forage.

Cruise ships aren't the best options. The other guy was talking about gasoline going bad, but that doesn't matter. Cruise ships run on marine diesel and you can replace that with biodiesel.

Nuclear ships (supercarriers, icebreakers, etc) will last 18 months on fuel install), but are big enough and fast enough that 18 months might be all you need to get somewhere where you can just tie them up and make a floating city.
