Has the single forum died down?

Thats the problem, I don't live in a town where horses are still in use, I am aware of the work that goes into it, I spent 3 months in a mennonite community. But the asset is that you don't need a license to drive a horse and buggy. Thats the problem the more people rely on technology the lazier people become

Two words dude. Electric bike.

Where am I supposed to get the money for one? and where am I supposed to store it?

Then you definitely would not be able to afford or have room to store a horse.

I recently learned that the more that you do things that what you don't want to do, the more a certain part of brain, which directly effects the level of intelligence, grows. So, there is a bit of irony in the effects of the advancement of technology.

I am aware of that. I am saying that if society as a whole lived the way they did 100 years ago or more, we would all be better off.

Oh...

Yeah, no, that's never going to happen.

I thought you were saying you personally wanted to be able to get to work and back on a horse.

Back to the topic of work transit, if you can't afford an electric bicycle or have space for it, you definitely won't be able to afford a car or have space for it, even if you did have a driver's license.

Assuming they did give you a job without a driver's license, how would you get to work? Getting a friend or relative to take you would only last so long...

By the way, I do understand the frustration. When I was a teenager I ran into the same problem. You can't get a car without a job, and you can't get a job without some way to get to it. So you need money to get the car, but you need the car to get the money.

I never heard of that. Where did you learn that from? That certainly is interesting.
I do have some doubt to it's legitamicy though, The brain is a muscle, the more you use it the stronger it gets.
I know, well if I could get rid of all my possessions then I could pursue membership in a Mennonite church. But having lost all my possessions before I hesitate wanting to give them up unless I knew for sure the membership would work out.

I know, this is why I hate my parents, their failure to do their job as parents has led me to a situation that I don't want to be in. I don't have friends or family where I live. Thats why I have been working on a business plan, and trying to find grants and loans to start a business. That is why I am praying for 40 million dollars to start a business. I am running out of options in terms of employment and if I stay on ODSP then my weight continues to increase, based on my medical file I went from 300 lbs in 2003 to 439 lbs last last week.
an increase of 139 lbs in 21 years, another 20 years I will hit 578 lbs and 40 years I will hit 717 lbs. This is if I stay on Social Assistance. I don't know how to fix my life and I know I can't do it on my own. Plus I have to start from nothing with morbid obesity at middle age and in a country where no one wants me anyway.

Where did you learn that from?

I tune in to a lot of interesting speakers on various topics, so I can't be absolutely specific about exactly where other than vaguely, Jordan Peterson, I think maybe.

I'm here

Yeah studying the Bible can be comforting

Nope. I am here. You are there. I don't see you in the room where I am, so you are definitely there. Yep.

Howdy Chucky and welcome to the Forum.

oh ok,

We are losing our freedoms because of tech and leaving a cash based society!

Yes and the bible says its going to happen, Revelation chapter 13 verses 16-18

...in 2013-2014 there were these strange unexplained trumpet sounds heard all over the world and looking back I believe they ushered in some kind of biblical change. 2013 was also the year of the earth's poles shifting in sync with a solar eclipse. Yes it all sounds like tin-foil hat stuff, but look at how much society and social media has changed since 2013. FOrtunately the eclipse and pole shifting happened again earlier this year. And I can see things starting to change back (at least for society, but not so much the forum).

I posted that in September. I think it's proving true.
