I just took some mushrooms and was fantasizing about moving to middle of nowhere and living off the land

I grew up in the middle of nowhere so I know the realities of that and I'm way too hedonist to actually do it but it's a nice dream

I would 100% end up like that guy from the Twilight Zone episode, who gets some time to himself & immediately breaks his glasses.

Now if only I didn't have to go 5 miles outside town, to reach a store that still stocks desirable inventory. When I realize that almost nothing is stored in town where the majority of sales would otherwise occur, I feel like our cities are just kinda doomed?
