I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.

You are stuck in a container and interaction with others are limited to annoyance.
Nailed it. Either they’re annoying me with noise, or I’m constantly worrying that I’m annoying them with noise.
If humanity wants me to like them they need to be at least as well-behaved as wild animals.
Most suburbs suck because of the neighbors, too.
Seems the common problem is neighbors.
I was implying that the new-fashioned way would be leaving the planet
If it were like that you’d find me living in the food forest and not the apartment.
Not really. If you used money you were put in a lottery to commit suicide and if you were chosen you got a big party to celebrate your sacrifice. The only people who had a problem with it were the Sliders.
You joke but the Canadian Rockies are pretty high on my list of places to wander naked until I die.
There was an episode of Sliders where Thomas Malthus was a significant person and the global population was kept under 250 million.
It sounded nice, even with the lottery system.
I’ve met more decent wild animals than I have people.
The suburbs are noisy as fuck. That’s why I want to live in the middle of nowhere.
If I could live in the city and never see another person I think I wouldn’t mind it.
No, wait, still not enough trees or animals or stars in the sky.
The new fashioned way doesn’t exist
Take me out to the black, tell ‘em I ain’t comin back.
As long as I can live in a hollow under a tree far away from the apartment building, okay.
But if not then I’ll just walk into the ocean because that’s still too damn many people.
I had a programming job where the dress code was “Keep it covered and don’t smell.”
They had to add that last part.
Take something the size of an original Ford Ranger, throw in a two-cylinder diesel generator and a battery pack and make it a series plugin hybrid.
You don’t even need to ban cars, just add traffic calming that makes the route less convenient for people driving through it. My town did this with a section of a street that went through medium density housing. They changed it from a three-lane one-way street to a two-lane, two-way road with two bike lanes and replaced the stop lights with roundabouts.
Now driving through there takes twice as long as before, which motivates drivers to avoid the area. Since it’s now just the people who live in the area there’s a lot less car traffic. And it’s reasonably close to downtown with plenty of stuff within walking distance.
They had riots. It didn’t work.
Part of the reason I hate people is I put a ton of effort into trying not to be a jerk, stressing myself out with constant worry from monitoring my behavior at all times, but other people don’t seem to give anyone else the same courtesy.
And that doesn’t even get into how hard it is for me to relate to almost everyone. I watch weird TV shows, listen to weird music, read weird books, and have weird hobbies. Outside of the weather I don’t really have anything to talk to them about, despite their seemingly constant need for interaction.
