How can I live in a cyberpunk lifestyle today? I mean, we still don't have body implanted tech and flying cars (lol), but I'm sure we can still manage to live like this as close as possible with the available technology today.

Besides the skills and clothing required for this lifestyle, what would you include in this package?

I would include: reducing the amount of data that the organizations and the government has on you, deleting accounts that has any kind of personal info about you; having a good VPN service would be good too, but I'm not sure about it, maybe a private VPN; customizing your phone to keep it simple and yet useful; hoarding a lot of data (just in case).

Also, I was thinking about some form of minimalism, but I'm not entirely sure how it'd be.

I've been told that the sysadmin job is the best one to be closer to the cyberpunk world, but so is being a NEET. You could get brouzouf from doing some freelance jobs on the internet, just enough to pay your bills and keep yourself fed. Owning a cheap small apartament on the center of the city would help too.

And that's everything I've came up so far. Everything related is welcome.

General for writing

(remade cuz the old one was nearly full and in the thumbnail graveyard)

I have decided to try to research more about living independently despite being very dependent on my mother still in life.

For background, I am in the middle of my first year at college, and although I've grown to have a good distance from my relatives I still need them for some things. I would like to create a bigger gap between us, but I have no idea for what I need to research.

Since I live in the US, I have whored out the common government aid programs available (state insurance). Could any give advice for someone progressing to an independent lifestyle? Are there any government aid programs I should look into as a low income college student?

I also know I need a driver's license still, but the town I go to college in has a good public transportation infrastructure, so it's not the top of my priority right now.

I mainly spend money on food, but I am looking to gain / save more for some sudden medical bills that are coming up in the next few months.

where my linguistics nerds at…come out from your hiding spot and talk to me about pharyngeal consonants

Anybody else in the bunker enjoy cars and motorsport? Discuss anything motoring related here.

To start I'll say I've spent the last few days doing the brakes on my own car, including new calipers. Fucking hard work on an old POS, nothing comes apart easily.

How many drugs have you used recreational/medicinally?

After listing them out, the numbers make lose all hope in society

Streaming service original, "PRESTIGE" TV is ruining TV. Its a middle ground between lower budget network tv shows that used to churn out 15-40 episodes and actual movies. Instead you have series that go for 6-10 episodes, release them all at once to "binge" and then wait 2+ years for another season, thats if it doesn't fall flat on its face and get cancelled after one season after failing to make enough to cover their 150 million dollar budget to make a show that is only slightly visually better than an early 2000s CW show. Most of these 6 episode shows should have had around half the material cut and simply made into a 2.5 hour long mid range movie.

Do you guys store an archive of some sorts?
