Uh, 100R live on a boat ? Like, sure, we can call them digital nomads but they are very much different from the “startup that has no office we have a travel stipend and work from anywhere” crowd. (I’ve been that person before. That’s easy mode compared to how 100R live.)

How many people can afford to live on a boat, sailing between countries, building and designing like they do? The motivations beat those of the average digital nomad by a mile, and I applaud them, but this is still squarely into "rich people" stuff.

Why do you have "rich people" in quotes?

They live in a 1982 sailboat as their primary residence. They use older hardware and are trying to be sustainable.

Does this look like "rich people" to you? https://100r.co/media/content/travel/hathayim14.jpg

There are definitely rich people that live on $500,000 boats and sail the world. 100R doesn't appear to be that? I'm pretty sure they've actually decided "not to make a lot of money" and are rich in experiences from going all in on this lifestyle.

There hasn’t been a matriarch since the last one died in 1842. The two last surviving religious orders with voting rights have been in a deadlock ever since because they can’t agree on what color sesame seed belongs in “Everything but the Bagel” seasoning. Saint Trader Joes tried to unite them by using both light and dark sesame years ago, but there’s just too much bad blood for them to work together. We are still wa…

Ahh, the utter tragedy of the Sesamoschism of 1842. The sad thing is that the deadlock between the Correctly Righteous Matriarchaleanbageloptomistrists and the Righteously Correct Matriarchaleanbageloptomistrists all comes down to one member’s error in mixing toasted light sesame seeds with raw dark sesame seeds, and neither side being able to agree which member needed to suffer the rites of immaculate defenestration…

Yes, then in 1863 we had a brief window of hope as Frau Blücher, a charismatic blind preacher, wrote her famous “Two Theses” on a bagel bag: “1. I cannot taste the difference; 2. It all looks the same in your stomach.” This ecumenical message sadly did not endure and she too was thrown out of a first floor window.

No, they really do live on a sailboat with intermittent power and internet access. Unless you take "made up" to mean "as a result of their choices" these are real problems, and ironically enough not problems faced by most people in the first world. https://checkpointgaming.net/features/2020/05/making-games-a...

> Unless you take "made up" to mean "as a result of their choices" Not the original poster, but that’s my view exactly. If you impose the limitations upon yourself then it’s not really a “problem” for you, is it now. You just can afford to make your life shittier for an “experience” to then have fun solving the issues you’ve created for yourself

Then say "constraints" if it feels better. To me, this conversation comes off as much more of a manufactured problem than idealistic people living on a boat and figuring out how to make tech work for them.

Edit: However, upon reading further comments, I don't want this to be seen as a defense of the group against actual complaints.

I'm very surprised to read this, considering both authors of the linked article use they/them pronouns.

The problem with identifying the goodness of people by their use of pronouns is that, surprise surprise, empty words good person does not make

Yes, well, that's not what anyone is doing. Here is the logic that caused surprise:

1. Leaders identify with nonbinary pronouns,

2. thus: leaders appear to be members of the/a queer community,

3. and: queer community members tend to center queer people/experiences (regardless of whether said members are shitty people for any reason),

4. yet: the leaders are specifically harming and driving out queer members of their community. This is unexpected. Not "wow, this should be impossible" unexpected, just "damn, this shouldn't have happened" unexpected.

It's quite simple and straightforward.

As an aside, (and I know I'll get downvoted for my tone, but it is what it is), for ye straight commenters: consider that your opinions on queerness and queer community dynamics probably aren't very well informed when you're entering conversations about them. (Inspired by but not personally attacking the parent comment. They might be queer too! And their statement is true, it's just off the mark in this context.)

That doesn't happen until you actually attempt to play the video though, right?

No, it happens when you load the page. As a test I made a simple web page that just said "This is a test" and included the Google embed and visited it in an incognito window in Chrome and looked at what happened in the inspector. I used an incognito window to ensure that I wasn't starting with any cookies already saved for Google. Just displaying the page with the embed hits those sites. All in all there were around…

Thanks! I appreciate the effort to get us this info

fwiw they actually live on a sailboat and have sporadic internet access and limited electricity, so saying it's retroactive justification isn't really true and minimizes the real problems they face.

> , so saying it's retroactive justification isn't really true and minimizes the real problems they face. I wouldn't call any of the listed problems "real problems" in the context of my long winded disability and homelessness lmao. I used to be in their community, the mods, and indirectly, them, were abusive as hell. Their community is, last I heard, hemorrhaging queer folk (or maybe it's bled dry and queer folk just…

The boat is ~40 years old (per their website). Our sailboat is a Yamaha33, a 1982 masthead sloop fiberglass sailboat. - https://100r.co/site/pino.html

Using a diesel motor 40 year old does not sound very enviromentaly friendly.

It's a sailboat. They do most of their transitting under sail not power.

You're trying really hard to be contrary here, but it's not working. Devine is not claiming to be ecologically perfect. They're just trying to be as ecologically efficient as they can while living a life that feels meaningful and rewarding to them.

UXN/Varvava don't do anything about relieving those pain points. WRT electricity it actually adds to the pain.

I mean its all quite obviously a larp but it's what makes their work interesting.
