It’s always a balance of what you can afford, what you want to do, and what your market can bare. You may love raising chickens, but eggs will almost never pay off. I love hot peppers. But I can’t get by growing just that. It is skilled and complicated for sure.

[I]t’s hard work for low pay that is very hard to buy yourself into if you weren’t born with some land.
It’s certainly hard work and low pay (compared to software engineering) in many cases, but it is rewarding.
As for the land, that really depends on the scale and the country.

0·1 day agoI went to the original instance after this, found that name, and then searched my blocklist but didn’t see them. We might not be federated with that instance or something.
Senior software engineer and farmer here. I approve.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would you pick to be reincarnated as AND WHY?
0·2 days agoFor that, I would need to believe in some concept of a soul; I do not. What makes us is the electrical systems interacting with our nurons. When that stops working, that person no longer exists.

0·2 days agoIf I could zip around the past learning about language, culture, ancient hominins and such until I got tired of it, I would do that. Living again? No thanks.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some racist, classist, homophobic ect people do "good" things sometimes?
0·3 days agoI’ve lived in Asia for over a decade and it’s not just anti-asian racism. Hell, as a white blond guy, I have it easy compare to black folks.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some racist, classist, homophobic ect people do "good" things sometimes?
0·3 days agoEach person has a different definition of good. On a Venn diagram, you might even overlap with Hitler or pol pot on one or two points. Humans and their ethics and morality are complex. Different people have different dealbreakers.
Take the example of “even a broken clock is right twice a day” and therein find an answer.
I’m going to guess, and I may be wrong, that a lot of people who would vote for the US Dems have no idea who he is. I didn’t until the last year, though I’ve lived outside of the US for a decade now

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that you probably don't want to use "ran" (or other verbs with a)
0·3 days agomuch more appropriate
Says who? -er- According to whom?
Is this so you can show superiority? Separate those pesky lower classes out? Language is spoken the way it is spoken and it changes. “have ran” is something that would have gotten me yelled at as a kid and it, honestly, is still kinda grating. However, it’s not my business. If I can understand that speaker, language is doing its job.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Suicide rates would likely rise sharply if reincarnation were ever proven.
0·3 days agoMaybe. If it’s tied to a kharmic system and not sticking it out led to worse incarnations, that’d probably be a good countering force.




I’m in Japan. It’s not worth it on my scale to even try. I do plan to get chickens for our eggs (and bonus bug eating and compost helping), but otherwise I’m just in the veg business. I have full English support and website which helps me find my market
