    When I was there I felt like a medieval adventurer because I could just find a market stall and pay for a meal with one coin

      How liberating that must feel, that food is cheap and plentiful that you don’t have to worry about something that’s a human right. I joked about it up-arrow up there, but things are so dysfunctional in the imperial core that being food secure is a sign of having wealth, total peasant shit.

        Pretty much. My partner says I have a “great depression mentality” around food (stockpiling, etc) and it’s true…

          i grew up poor in the US and i literally learned how to grow calorie crops and have some in my backyard right now that could keep me fed for like a month if needed. My idea of luxury is having the money to replace my old broken shit that barely works but i keep using.
