    I like the sentiment, but one should not trust a racoon in the way you would a friend.

      Good lord people are so fucking stupid. Homegirl watched some YouTube tutorials and decided that she had the knowledge and ability to survive with minimal supplies in the woods. It’s a shame her son had to die because his mother was a dumbass. Even if you’re unhappy with the world, surely you should at least not want to give your child a death sentence.

      People like to say how early human days were better than modern times. No, they really weren’t. In the wild and in the pre-modern era, it’s a struggle to survive. We are incredibly lucky to have modern features like electricity, antibiotics, modern heating and cooling, etc.

      Are modern times perfect? Of course not and they are far from it. But thinking that trying to survive unprepared in the wilderness is better than living in a modern day developed nation is insane… especially when you’re forcibly bringing your child into it.

      God was with them

      If a all-powerful all-loving being was with them, it would save them. So either god is not with them, do not like them, or it is not with them.

    Step one to befriend a racoon: take that corpse you’ve been hiding in you basement the last few days into the woods and start digging a hole. Once the hole is dug, cut off a limb and cover it in peanut butter and position it in such a way so that the raccoons can’t tell there is a hole. Wait until the raccoons fall in the hole and find the alpha racoon. The alpha racoon will either be the largest or most aggressive racoon in the pit, so be careful.

      Finding a house in the country that’s still within reasonable driving distance from city stuff is the dream for me.

      or move to a city that isn’t shit, everyone wanting to live in their own house on the countryside is literally a big part of why we’re in this shit.

      cities are good, don’t fall for the conservative propaganda
