I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.
The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.
I'll be over on !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works.
Its not too late to become a lighthouse operator! British Columbia is desperate for them, even the CBC (Canadian Public Broadcaster) was basically advertising for them to try to drum up willing workers. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/looking-for-lighthouse-keepers-1.7085280

26 0 ReplyA couple years ago they were looking for a new lighthouse keeper in the SF bay https://ebls.org/about/keepers-search-innkeeper/ but it looks like they filled the position.
However this lighthouse includes a B&B and is in the bay surrounded by millions of people so maybe not quite what you were looking for.

Too early to become a landing operator on the moon, reading ebooks only talking to the ai companion.

I think that particular spot has been filled, but it's possible. Helps to be in the coast guard amd have a boating license.
12 0 ReplyI have a sailing license although Coast Guard wasn't my preferred flavor of service. Also am Canadian. I'll just build a damn lighthouse myself!

2 0 Replyit's a shame lighthouses no longer exist :(
1 0 ReplyI live in Michigan. There are tons and tons of freshwater lighthouses left. I suspect they're not as common as they once were, but they still ring the Great lakes. Map: https://gllka.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=9e1508ae15f9444f9b960aa42e435951

So I live in Canada and they legit advertised a bunch of roles opening up for lighthouse operators very recently. I didn't apply, because it's actually an insane job, but it fr is a decently paying job where you're by yourself in a remote setting, constantly monitoring the ocean.
1 0 ReplyThat's a lame excuse. You can still live this sweet life nowadays without being a lighthouse operator
