  • My town isn’t big enough for a Walmart lol. People just hang out at Tim Hortons all day which I agree is lame as shit. But there’s plenty to do if you like the outdoors and most of the stuff you can do in the big city you can do around here. It’s just a longer drive. Like if want to see a movie it’s about a 30 minute drive to the next town over. Laser tag and trampoline parks are like an hour.

    I’d much rather have to travel long distances for recreational activities than for work. My kids actually get to play outside in nature, experience wildlife, eat fresh local produce, go swimming in beautiful lakes. I grew up here and in my teens I wanted to gtfo of this boring place to live in a big city. But as I grew older and spent time in those big cities I realized life was much better for me and my family here.

    Lastly, your point about jobs is 100% correct. Jobs are shit, I’m just lucky we have a federal government office in our town where I can make a decent wage that’s not adjusted for where I live.











  • That’s not really a solution. You will always have people willing and able to pay the ridiculous prices. The thing is that passing up the chance to see your favorite artists could mean never seeing them at all. They might die, retire, disband, etc…

    I saw Ozzy in 2019, had to drive 15 hours from Canada to New York. He was 70 years old and still fucking killed it, was everything I hoped it would be. I grew up listening to his music and absolutely had to see him at least once in my life. I doubt I will ever get the chance to see him again. I fucking hate that I paid Ticketmaster’s inflated prices and would rather give my money to anyone else. But I don’t regret it.
