Quote:There are what are known as "intentional communities", usually for certain types of individuals such as, say, artists. But they are just a drop in the bucket right now. The folks the poster describes here hit home for me personally because, although coming from a fairly well-to-do family I personally have struggled for the majority of my adult life, most likely due to a condition of social awkwardness which became commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome.

Yeah, same here. You should try Bipolar Disorder.

Quote:I always wanted to be more social but have usually had difficulty obtaining such. Ironically at a time when we are actually becoming less social due to the invasion of technology, there is actually less tolerance for social awkwardness in our workplaces. Therefore, most of my life when I was able to obtain work I was relegated to the living paycheck to paycheck scenario.

Quote:The scenario the poster paints toward the end is reminiscent in its own ways of both a modern maturity version of the hippie communes a half century later, or the reservations the Native Americans were forced onto.  Whatever it appears it is a said state of affairs nonetheless.

Welcome to Rag's world, man.   Set me high in councils, man.   And Set me to BUIRN.

0. Dead malls are perfect for conversion into controlled, pesticide-free environments for growing weed.

I think you're on to something.

5. Potheads will flood the malls in droves.

Obviously, great minds think a like, man.   You'd be item 0.  I think the same would work for tobaccy. Oh,... man, I' have  3 boxes + some hung up leaves from last year's tobaccy. 1 year old cured leaves smell really nice. My leaves smell just like pipe/cigar tobaccy. I have ground up about 1 mason jar worth of tobaccy.  It's nice since I think I have on hand about $1000.00 of snus , tax free. It's also a weird consequence of Oklahoma weather. We got dumped on wrt rain and I had some minor basement flooding.   The tobaccy leaves soaked up a bit of moisture , dried out, and obtained that sweet cigar smell.
