Uh some of us do all the time and have kids going to college in the Midwest.

Do your neighbors know how to:

Build a fire
Process a deer/ turkey/ game bird
Frame a simple shed
Install a well pump
Clean load and fire a pistol or rifle

Or do .... anything that doesnt cause a traffic jam at Tysons?

Why are these skills any better than any other? Do neighbors in Greene County know how to analyze malware sent in an email, set up a complex network, jam a single cell phone signal in a large crowd of people, build a smart antenna, or program an FPGA?

Why do you think urban people aren't handy, OP? And can the people you socialized with diagnose and treat very complex medical cases and conduct clinical trials?

Your ignorance sbout clinical trils proves you are lying about yourDH being a doctor.

What’s ignorant about what the PP said? Please educate us.

Diagnosticians and clinicians are two very separate people. If we were talking law enforcement, it would be like saying my DH is a cop who arrests people and also prosecutese them.

You’re lying about being the child of physicians. Have you never heard of teaching hospitals where MDs both practice and conduct their own research?

No kidding. As a grad student in EE, I worked for the Chair of the Neurosurgery dept helping him conduct research. He was pretty busy doing both research and taking care of patients. Smart guy, to say the least.

All of these so-called skills are vulgar.

So nothing you know by DOING

PP didn't claim to be a physician. They just correctly pointed out how FOS the other poster was.

My questions is- are you sock puppeting or are you so triggered by a woman with knowledge that you had to chime in?

But the “daughter of two physicians” is full of $hit and posting false information. Multiple people called her out on it. What’s your point, exactly? Showing your ignorance?

Greene County is more of an exurb of the DMV than a real rural county. Lots of high-salary IT people remoting via Zoom. Live in large, million-dollar "rustic country cabins" (yeah, right!, with a hot tub). Drive a Ford F-150 but never a speck of mud on it, never driven off the road other than on their gravel driveway.

Go to Big Stone Gap for that kind of rural Virginia.

Exactly.

How would they fare in an urban environment?

Don’t act like primitive is superior.

And do those people of Greene County know how to take Metro, order a cocktail in a bar, drive on the Beltway, parallel park, network, or appreciate art?

Whatever is your point? It isn’t like those skills are inherently virtuous and as many people live in urban areas as they do rural ones.

What a laughable list you created that unintentionally proved OP's point

My guy. I know people from these places. They're TERRIFIED of Metro or driving in traffic. I proved MY point.

Maybe they don't want to be knifed or set on fire by mentally ill strangers.

Which is irrational and shows a wildly misplaced sense of risk. There's more crime in Greene County (3,969 incidents per 100,000 people) than in Fairfax County (3,577 incidents), for example.

Now compare it to DC, which is a much relevant metric.

OK, prepper.

I can frame a shed and build a fire, but as to the others, why on earth would I need to, or want to do any of those other things, sounds entirely taxing and unecessary.

If I were caught in the zombie apocalypse I suppose I could figure out how to put a worm on a hook and gut a fish, stick it on a stick and cook it while boiling my stream water. I can also open a can of beans with a pocket knife...

That should be enough to keep me alive until an antidote is discovered.

An insecure surgeon. How cringey.

DP. It’s almost like you don’t know anyone in the medical profession…maybe too much time in the backwoods where you are with your intellectual equals? Surgeons are not known to be insecure. They tend to be the opposite. And why shouldn’t they be? They save people’s lives…while you do what exactly?

Three posts in a row! I'm going to have you IP banned for sock puppeting.
