      Btw, assuming that zombies can't swim, as I said, they just walk into the water. And then they start floating on the surface due to decomposition. So any zombie reaching that small land, will have to be shot. If hundreds and thousands are heading your direction, then if you don't have enough ammo or people, well, you're fucked.

      It is registered as a float home and therefor legal in British Columbia Canada. As long as they are registered and pay their licencing/registration fee (annually I think) they can float their cabin/island off the main land or main island of Vancouver. Most people choose community type living with others around, but it is perfectly legal for them to choose a remote location. Hope that helped with your wonder/question.

      @@_LEONKING_ Yes some people are very good actors and can even cry real tears when asked, but lots of people are bad actors or even terrible actors thus having them take the tests increases your chances of finding a good person. Unfortunately every person changes with time thus the lady of your dreams today might become the witch of your nightmares tomorrow so nothing is guaranteed. Personally I recommend the MGTOW path for focusing on a successful career than if desired use your money to hire a surrogate mother which will provide you one or more children. For several states within the USA this allows you full custody of your offspring. This means you won't ever have to worry about some x-wife or girlfriend taking half of what you own, using the courts to force you to pay child custody, using the courts to force you to pay alimony or poisoning your offspring against you. Unfortunately in the USA statistics show 80% of divorces are initiated by the women plus the courts, police, child custody and alimony all favor the women which is why MGTOW came into existence and is growing in popularity.

      They probably use compost toliets and empty the buckets into composting bins on land. after it becomes compost, they probably use it in the soil for the fruit trees or the trees on land. I bet they separate the urine from the poop too, the urine can be diluted 1 part urine, 10 parts water and sprayed on the grasses and other non edibles.

    - how do they dispose their wastes?
