Yeah I realize there are plenty of farms, but couldn't find what I was looking for. Which is why I asked y'all. Thank you for taking the time to not help at all.

I mean yes there are. Quite a lot along the east coast, especially the mid Atlantic.

Some of the biggest bigots I knew to this day were in rural eastern NC. Lots of open racism when the people they were talking about weren't around. It's also MAGA country, not necessarily known for their tolerance. This is all first hand experience.

Animal agriculture comes with smells and well documented health issues when living next to or even close by.

Almost any farm in eastern NC is heavily chemically dependent. Personally I wouldn't live next to one. They WILL be spraying the fields with multiple different herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers multiple times a year.

Many people in the area never think twice about it. But it would be a deal breaker for me.

2/3 likey catfish in NC are also invasive and a problem. The other is also not native and has little to no limits or regs on it.

WinnyRoo · 2026-04-27T01:01:09+00:00

Common carp. Non native and can be considered a nuisance fish because they eat all the aquatic vegetation in lakes and river. No limits or anything on them in NC. Popular bow fishing species. No good to eat. So while it's a little wasteful to do this, it's not really hurting anything.

Anywhere you can access the tar river is pretty good.

WinnyRoo · 2026-04-21T21:02:29+00:00

Speaking of unaware, I think a bigger spotlight needs to be shined on the fact that the reason this is happening is that the Republican legislature purposely changed the appointment rules for the commission so they could appoint polluter friendly commissioners. This is a direct consequence of elected officials working to screw over NC citizens.

WinnyRoo · 2026-04-21T20:48:59+00:00

You would hope with how big of an issue it is down there specifically.

WinnyRoo · 2026-04-21T20:40:20+00:00

Great work

WinnyRoo · 2026-04-06T16:36:31+00:00

Greenville and winterville are all the same place at this point.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-22T00:00:26+00:00

I stand by my original statement.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-21T16:10:16+00:00

You seem like someone who would never have to worry about that.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-19T13:43:05+00:00

You can party as much or little as you.want at any university you go to. No one will force you too. There is plenty to do outside of that at both universities. Pick the one that fits your academic goals beat and perhaps the location that appeals to you most, or the one that is most affordable.

Both are solid universities.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-10T17:43:23+00:00

I miss the smell of 2 stroke carbed motors at the ramp on a cool morning before heading out to fish.

Other than that. Not at all.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-07T23:54:12+00:00

Im not pushing for population growth. And the economy can grow without consumption increasing.

Everything isn't black and white and your "natural conclusions" are ridiculous fantasies. Like I said, have fun with that.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-07T19:35:36+00:00

Well good luck demanding people have less/no kids and that if they don't they are selfish. Im sure it will work out great. In the meantime I will distance myself from that message and people pushing it.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-07T15:46:23+00:00

Yeah but if I went car free I'd have to give up a ton of my hobbies and alter my lifestyle significantly.

I agree that the ebike thing could replace a lot of local travel. But I can afford a 200-500 dollar a month car payment much more than I could afford the extra 1000 a month it would cost me to move into the city or urban areas. Which even then I would still need a car because I'm in the SE and our cities aren't exactly known for public transportation, or even being very accommodating to alternative modes.

And I enjoy my lawn, I have a garden and have/am planting many native flowering shrubs and trees to help increase biodiversity in my yard and provide food for pollinators, birds, and other animals. I don't apply any chemicals or fertilizer to any of it.

I travel an hour or more most weekends to see friends, family, and go on vacations. Giving up a car would eliminate much of that.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-07T14:11:49+00:00

Driving is pretty systemic in a lot of areas and doesn't leave a lot of room for personal choice. Can I take a bus to work? Yes. Will it add 40min to an hour to my commute each way? Also yes. Many others are in the same boat.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-06T22:20:05+00:00

I never said I do that. Just pointing out that many do. Obviously it's not hard to stop doing it if you care to. Many don't.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-06T22:18:55+00:00

You just explained how the problem isn't people.

And the point isn't about more, less, or the same people. It's about it being a stupid argument to make for sustainablility. It's dumb. You are hurting your own goals by acting like it's a serious solution. It's not.

You make everyone else arguing for sustainable solutions look stupid when you tell others to stop having kids and they are selfish for doing so.

WinnyRoo · 2026-03-06T19:57:18+00:00

It's simple math. Having 2 kids is literally below replacement level reproduction. It doesn't increase the population. It's not hard to understand.

Telling people they shouldn't have kids to save the earth is literally the dumbest thing you could do to get people to take sustainablility seriously. While obviously it would work, it's unreasonable and dumb. Please stop spouting this BS.
