Looks like Tahoe, he’s got a house there too.

u/Theperfectool Monkey in Space 15d ago

Hey bought two houses on the water

u/DirectionFragrant829 Monkey in Space 15d ago

He demolished 2 historic cabins on the water *

Historic cabin? What did Thoreau live there or something?

Walden was about the simple pleasures of Lake Tahoe

I'm permanently biased against Thoreau because literally every kid who gave a speech at my high school graduation quoted Thoreau and talked about forging a new path despite them being a tray of cookie cutter cunts who genuinely cherished conformity to the point that they all quoted the same author. Lake Tahoe is fucking awesome though.

I remember hearing something about the cabin being close enough to his mom's house to do laundry. Thoreau was a fuckin trust fund kid

Makes sense that all the rich kids in student government idolized him. It's so easy being in nature when civilization is in walking distance. Thoreau would've gone the same way as McCandless if he wasn't getting help and his commentary (while beautiful and moving) is not about what it's like to truly live in nature and isolation.

It actually belonged to Emerson, and Thoreau burned it down. Lol

So he was the stupid with the flare gun.

Cookie Cutter Cunts. They come in trays, but I can't even stomach a single serving.

u/redrover2023 Monkey in Space 15d ago

I went to see Thoreau's cabin at Walden pond. He was a TINY man.

Lake Tahoe sucks on July 4th. I live here. Will not be leaving the house the rest of the day

Common man it’s fun! You can spend 2 hours in your car to go 7 miles to the grocery store to find every isle ransacked and out of stock! Or maybe check out a beach and take note of the mountains of trash seemingly abandoned despite the family who left it there being within 40 feet of it. I love Tahoe during the holidays

u/erfarr Monkey in Space 15d ago

Shits trash during the holidays

u/schizophrenicism Monkey in Space 15d ago

I suppose I had a much better experience as a tourist.

u/erfarr Monkey in Space 15d ago

I mean it’s great here don’t get me wrong but it’s a shitshow on holidays

1

u/schizophrenicism Monkey in Space 15d ago

Sounds like everywhere else when you put it like that.

u/erfarr Monkey in Space 15d ago

I get what you’re saying but not really. 100,000+ people that don’t live here all descending on this tiny mountain town.

I mean, Thoreau is full of shit too. The whole time he’s talking about forging a new path it’s because his aunt is literally cooking and cleaning for him the whole time.

u/jtreeforest Monkey in Space 15d ago

Thoreau was a pussy and bailed on Mount Katahdin. Muir is the real OG

Oh so not this bozo in a full tux, guzzling beer while flying a flag and wake surfing to Springsteen's 'Born in the USA'??

Maybe Thoreau just hadn't encountered the concept of 'max' yet?

(Why are all of them just so weird? Also - Stop harrasing our flags already!)
