People of lemmy, would you live in a rural area? Why or why not?

Agreed. I want internet, but beyond that I don't want to be near anything. My mom was telling me to prioritize a place with good medical services, but it seems like by the time I am old and in constant need, the unsustainability will have come home to roost.

I’m not even sure I want internet anymore. The damage it’s done to my mental health probably isn’t worth it, and I think it’d be a huge positive in my life to cut it out entirely.

Agree on the unsustainability part. Im expecting the world to collapse before I reach retirement age.

I mainly want internet for streaming a and games. I'm fine with cutting off the majority of news and social media.
