Goat farming is probably harder than most jobs on LinkedIn. Except you won't end as a ~~psychical~~ mental wreck.

Half right. Goats are arseholes. You can end up in a bad way if not careful.
Goats are arseholes.
Yes, but it's legal to shoot them in the back and consume their corpse.
Yes well, some laws are arseholes too.
I don't know about that. Farming involves a lot of physical labor. Also, goats have horns.
My wife's best friend grew up on a goat farm. She does not recommend it. She has stories.
I can't tell if 'psychical' is a mispelling of physical or if some people feel the word psychological needs to be shortened into a new word.
Psyche is the mind. Psychology is the study of the mind.
Psychical is of or pertaining to the mind. Psychological is of or pertaining to the study of the mind.
What about a third possibility: some people aren't native English speakers?
Or the ever-dreaded fourth option: someone else knew a word you didn’t.
So I used the correct word in the end? Or should it be "psychic"?
Pretty sure you were looking for psychological
Ironically this conversation shows the issue with the use of the word "psychichal".
What about checking out a dictionary ?
Ill take the L on not knowing that psychical was a word. However you and the other person seem to not be acknowledging that the poster did in fact misspell the word they admitted they aren't a native english speaker. Thats a detail thats very easy to to actively ignore while on your way to 'bhut acthually' someone. As a final thought, I went to google trends to see how many people search up 'psychical', theres not even enough searches using that word to form statistical trends. Ive never heard of it before someone accidentally misspelled their way into it and almost certainly I will never hear it again after this conversation is done. Its a dead word like many in the english language. That doesn't matter, the armchair linguist got the chemicals flowing in your brain from correcting someone on the internet, you got what you came for now fuck off.
I'm a farmer but fuck goats. They're creepy weird animals that destroy everything they're in contact with.
Cows can kill but at least they have pretty eyes.
I'm a farmer but fuck goats
👀
Yah, I reread that and decided to let it stand to give somebody with sharper eyes than me a chuckle.
I know goats ≠ sheep, but this reminded me of this.
To be fair, the pro-work propaganda is directed at the middle of the bell curve. That guy in the middle has bespoke mindfuck beamed into his brain 24-7, but the guys on the ends are well out of the line of fire.
I want to make LSD and moonshine in my mountain compound with my comrades
I'll just say, compared to my day job, I'd rather be a goat farmer.
This shit is fucked.
My "I wanna be a goat farmer," which I doubt will ever happen, is a recording studio with only pre-1950s equipment. Everything goes live into ribbon mics, through a tube mixer (pots, not faders!) and lathed directly onto a master disc. No digital anything, no multitrack, not even condenser mics. A place for musicians to record music like they did once upon a time...
I could never afford to do it, but it's a fun dream.
I just wanna love on a boat going all over the place
Only problem is to get a boat that could do that (even going full cheap AF route) is so bloody expensive
Not to mention I basically have to have at least a small income stream otherwise I can't see a doctor
I keep looking at my spreadsheet going "someday"
If you can tolerate giving Musk $165 a month, Starlink makes it possible to work remote without issue on a boat. But also you have to give Elon $165 a month, so...
Or wait until Amazon has their own network so you can give Bezos your $165...yay.
I've often thought about this kind of thing myself. Hang in there, I guess. :/
There's always Hughesnet.
How am I gonna shitpost on Lemmy with 500ms latency
Slowly?
My parents were the middle ones so now I got an MSc and a good career. Aaand I'm contemplating whether I should just be a goat farmer instead.
I recommend against it. Goat farming isn't for everyone. You should start with sheep first, then slowly add goats. People who go for goats directly tend to fail more often than not.
Can I start with chickens?
I have a friend who is very fulfilled with her chicken rearing (she just has them as pets)... but it does involve a LOT of literal shit shovelling.
Chimkins are good
I’m trying to have it both ways by keeping my desk job and building/upgrading a koi pond at home. I read more about the oxidation of organic compounds than about the compilation of code, and every day I inch further to the right in this meme.
I highly recommend having significant hobbies far outside your area of work.
No way in hell I'd want to be a farmer these days. That shit seems like the most stressful career possible.
Something like gardener/groundskeeper looks good to me though.
I wanna be a goat farmer ಠ◡ಠ
Goats are annoying. Just farm vegetables or something.
Look, I tried milking the oat crop, but I just can't get my fingers around those little teats, so I'm sticking with the goats for now.
Goats taste better than vegetables
I disagree, but to each their own
I don't think this is negotiable. Vegetables don't have taste buds.

I don't want to be a goat farmer but I do find people that work hard to make management richer are insufferable.
""" A man is walking into the office when he sees his boss pull into the parking lot in a brand new sports car. "Wow! Nice car! How'd you afford that?" he says.
The boss smiles at him and says, "Listen. If you work hard, hit all your numbers this quarter, put in some overtime, then I can buy another one next quarter." """
yeah... fuck LinkedIn, Xing and all those social media made for career pigs.
UUuh look how successful I am working 80 hours per week for this prestige company.
No you idiot, you are a wage slave nothing more!

Personally, I'd prefer cows to goats. They're like giant dogs 😃
I can agree. Cows are much cooler than goats(also goats are quite some assholes who will exploit every hole in the fence).
