Sometimes being human garbage bothers me, but then I quickly remember that there's no way I'm going to the DMV and dealing with the embarrassment that getting a driver's permit would entail.

If you get a license in AZ to drive you don't need to renew the license until you're 50. You'll probably be dead before you're 50!

>the embarrassment that getting a driver's permit would entail

There are many things I thought would be embarrassing to do, but forced myself to do them anyway, and was met with cold, systematic work. It's like people don't notice me or don't even care about me, which is great because that also means they don't laugh at me or hate me.
Just go down there and be nice and they'll probably do their job and ignore you when it's done.

I've gotten a drivers permit a couple of times before, and was too scared to ever drive outside of a parking lot.

If I try and get a permit again I'll have to talk to their manager and convince them to let me have another one according to the DoL Website. I don't think a truNEET like me can handle that sort of embarrassment.

Dude, getting a license is worth it, how are you going to take it easy if you are limited to walking and public transit?

You can drive to places where you can get your favorite food, you can take a drive if you are ever feeling down, and if you live at home your mom will really appreciate the extra hand!

I've been riding motorcycles for a while (started at 15, now 23) and recently sold my car to buy a bike as my sole form of transportation. I don't think I'll ever go back to driving cars again. Never before in my life have so many lolis waved to me for no reason other than I'm on a bike. Never before have I been able to feel as anonymous as I do when I'm in full gear.

Who forest NEET here?

Living in the forest in a smaller trailer is the ultimate form of NEET freedom. I can live out here with my dog and enjoy the beauty of nature without ever needing to worry about running into other humans. It costs practically nothing as well.

The only downside is that satellite internet is slow and the initial setup cost for installing solar requires a few months of hoarding SSI payments.

Forest NEET please stick around, even if this thread gets deleted use the archive, I have many questions!

I am in a situation where I might get to live rent free in my grandfathers cabin as opposed to me staying in the city where rent consumes most of my autimbux even though I get a little housing assistance with SSI. I also use foodstamps and leech of my neighbor's WEP wifi but I am still in a tight financial situation so moving into my grandpas cabin is a very attractive option, I would only have to pay the yearly property tax+electric. there is no plumbing though, instead an outhouse and a rain water collection system.

If you have a power source and a clear line of sight to the southern sky then you shouldn't have a problem with getting satellite internet. I normally never have a connection problem and it's even a pretty mountainous area with a lot of trees, but my main complaint is just the speed issue. It's not terrible, but it's pretty slow in comparison to cable.

As for package delivery though, I don't have an actual address and it's not easy to get here by road so I've always used PO boxes. If your grandfather's house has a roadside mailbox then I'm pretty sure they will just deliver it to you though. I'm not sure on that since I don't have any experience with it though.

You get used to it pretty quickly. Even with the slow internet, you can still do everything that you would normally do, it just takes a bit longer for things to download.

>I'd be kinda scared living all alone in the woods too

I find it comforting in a way since it's a lot safer out here than it is in the cities. Some of the most dangerous things in life are other humans, so being away from them makes you a lot safer than you would be in a city. As for guns though, it's a good idea to get a gun, it's a lot of fun, and it can you save you some money once you learn how to hunt. I've never needed to protect myself with a gun, but there's not much aside from deer around here.

I would definitely recommend getting a big and friendly dog though. They're great companions and I never feel alone out here since my dog is always with me.
