Sometimes towns get so small that they dry up and disappear. I enjoy visiting those places.

Howland Flat was a mining town in the Sierra gold country.





Already in a steep decline by 1929.



This and a couple of other structures are all that are left now.



Small town to ghost town.

I'm enormously relieved that the 10,000 person town with the crippling ice addiction in which I grew up where the only job generating industries were a prison and an abattoir was in Australia and as such only a few people were furnished with firearms.

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.
I grew up in a small town that was rapidly expanding and my friend and I used to set off fireworks inside porta-potties outside of construction sites. Sometimes we would just knock them over instead.

Really glad my parents moved us to a city as I reached adolescence. Small town life is fine in Australia when you're a kid and don't understand the depravity.

Translation for normal humans:

No, what happened is that Darren (or Daniel, or David) got into my friend's marijuana stash, and then lied about it like the cur he is, so my friend punched him in the car park of the local supermarket... so I don't think Darren will later visit Kerry's home.
Speaking of which, I got some ecstasy from the gay guy who works at the shoe shop quite cheaply, because he probably wants to gently caress me.
I'll sell them at Kerry's place because I'm in poverty, but I'll swap you one pill for two six-packs of cheap beer.

I grew up in regular low-to-middle-class suburban Australia and so I was very scared when I became a teen and found out that there did exist people who lived not far from a city that really did talk like the quoted post with zero exaggeration.

Like it or not small-town farmers are being dragged into the digital age: Desperate John Deere tractor owners are downloading illegal Ukrainian firmware hacks to get the crops in

tl:dr: John Deere made it so if you replace a part on one of their tractors you have to pay one of their people to come to you and plug a thumbdrive into your tractor's USB port to "authorize" the part you just swapped in

e: welcome to the darknet, are you looking for drugs, stolen credit cards, or farm equipment firmware updates, we got it all!!!

Heck naw, I was yelling at him to stop, I like baby cows. Kid turned out to be a sociopath too. Same field, one of the horses was sick and dying and the family who owned it left it to rest where it was laying out in the field.
Kid climbed over the fence and started stomping on its head, got caught in the act, and was expelled. Kid is probably dead or has moved on to killing other people by now.

Wait, I'm down in Texas and the wild pigs/hogs are open season because they're legitimately wrecking poo poo. Aside from a couple small parts of the pig/hog, most of the meat is gamey and gross as gently caress, nobody wants to eat that. I don't even live in a small town, I'm in Houston but I know about it because I have all sorts of friends and acquaintances that have land that they have to kill the wild hogs on. A couple pounds of sausage and some other meat is about what you can expect, plus I think a small tenderloin but I might be wrong here. Wild hog meat is mostly inedible, we kill them because they are invasive and gently caress up crops and even other species.

EDIT: To the point where I take a weapon with me when I go camping, just in case a hog decides to come into the camp. They can seriously injure someone if they choose to charge and trample a camp/tent. They are aggressive as gently caress, another reason why they are hunted constantly.
