>My dream is to start a tiny farm (renovate a shed so a few birbs can live there) and sell eggs and veggies and pet treats and sundries and donate some of the profits or extra food. I want to meet new and friendly neighbors and make friends. I want to write my comics and novels in peace no matter who I do or do not meet
These people really believe living a rural subsistence farm life is like a game of harvest moon, don't they.
Thinking she's going to be donating some of the profits is super funny since the only outcome of that little enterprise is going to a slow death due to malnutrition and hard labour. There will be no profits. Thst plan doesn't produce enough food or money to feed one person never mind to generate surplus profits.
Yes, growing enough sustenance for one person is still 2 acres per season at the bare minimum on good soil with no crop failures or unseasonal freezes, and you'll need to rotate so have another 6 acres viable cropland that needs to be kept clear. And, you will be eating root vegetables all winter and wishing you had 10x as much land.
Literally everyone who is running cute little homestead uwu egg/vegetable/crafts businesses is doing it as a secondary source of income. They have a day job, or a partner who is the primary earner, or they are independently wealthy in some way.
Tbf to the idiot she does emphasize that the homesteading thing is her ultimate fantasy. It's unclear why she's so wedded to the idea of Vancouver, specifically. Vancouver is rapidly becoming Canadian California.
You clearly don't understand what it's like to be unhappy with your life and want to start over somewhere else. Maybe if you lived in a state that was constantly bringing you down, you would understand her decision.
Even then, a lot of those cottage core uwu home farming women are tik tok/social media influencers so they are able to sell their products to r-slurs at extremely high mark up.
There was a ton of seethe recently when a “rural homestead/family influencer” was revealed to be married to the son of the Jet Blue founder. Very easy to have a ranch and raise six kids when you can pay Juan and Juanita to shovel shit and watch your kids.

She thinks she'll be so flush with resources she can donate money
IRL she'll be struggling to pay rent and stay fed. Probably drives an old civic.
And doesn't America already have public health insurance for poors?
Medicaid in California is 138% of the poverty line so she’d have to be making under 19K for it to be free… then again she’s a self described author so she might be making that little
Hmm pretty good. So what's the path for those earning over 19k? Private insurance? Doesn't insurance often reject medical proposals, given their shekel-orientated nature?
Your job will provide insurance or reimburse you for your insurance costs unless it's something teenagers should be doing. Even McDonald's will provide health insurance if you're working full time. Once you're old enough and retired you get Medicare. Sometimes insurance will reject things but I've never had it happen to me. I had a bunch of moles removed from my face because I told the doctor I was worried that they were cancerous and that I kept cutting them while I was shaving and all I had to pay was a $25 copay. My annual deductible is $3000, so if I have a heart attack or something that's all I'll have to pay before being 100% covered (and they cover like 80% of the cost before that, so if I'm hospitalized and it costs like 10k I'd only have to pay $2k)

And doesn't ameriKKKa already have public health insurance for poors?
You're probably thinking of medicaid. Healthcare.gov has insurance plans for poors but they're actually hilarious, like $9000 deductibles and $200/month in premiums.
That health care plan sounds not bad to be honest and is still better than what we have in Canada now (36 hour wait in the ER, never see a doctor, die in hospital bathroom).

With that plan, you would have to pay $11400 before insurance makes a difference, and it will only pay for specific contacted doctors. You're basically throwing away $2400 a year unless you get cancer or an expensive surgery.
Also wait times for surgeries like cataracts, hip or knee replacements are generally over a year, as bad as 18 months in some provinces. Our health care is literally shit here.

Making some money on a homestead isn't hard. Making enough money is. I've been working on mine for awhile and still have to be a wagie.
What they aren't prepared for is everything else. Shits hard, wood stoves don't always work perfectly, chopping and hauling wood is very physical and time consuming. There is always something you should be doing.
Drawing comics and chilling is a pipe dream for this lifestyle.
Edit: they're also physically disabled and underdeveloped. Lol what a fricking joke thinking you'll homestead as a cripple.
no sweeter irony than the cripples who loathe the industrial society that literally keeps them alive. if these were still homesteading days OP would find herself missing after a particularly brutal winter
She doesn't even know what a homestead is. Several times in the thread she posts this image. Everyone is too nice to be like b-word that's a back porch.
Yeah in their fantasy a tiny cute farm is like an hour of optional work a day, that a disabled person could handle, when not busy writing comicbooks. Oh and that they have to be in Canada.

"manual labour" like carrying plates in a kitchen, not digging ditches or pulling cable.
I liked how she talked about running utility in a restaurant like she was handling molten ore with her bare hands. When pressed she clarified that the dishes were just slightly hotter than was comfortable to touch.
I think she said it had to do with needing hearing aids or something. Technically fits the bill, but doesn't paint the full picture you expect from "physically disabled."
Something similar happened to my neighbor when I was a kid, she killed the dog and nailed it to a tree and pointed a gun at anyone who tried to take it down
My family lives in a rural place so we always had chickens and someone we knew happened to have some young ducks and we bought two off em. One of them died from illness early on but we had Puddle for a year before he got brutally killed. The chickens never bugged him so he just lived with them and had a baby pool he’d swim in that we’d refill. The dog chased a few of the chickens too but only killed Puddle.
Honestly this should have been a dream she kept but never told anyone about or followed through on. Could have kept her slightly hopeful in what I’m sure are many bad times
I stayed with relatives who run a dairy farm for a few days.
I was in the milking parlour which has a kind of trench running down the middle where the person stands. There are cows on either sides of you, facing away from the trench so you can attach/remove the suction device.
The first time I was milking cows with them, a cow shat all over my left shoulder. I had to finish the milking session before I could clean myself up.
I heard a stat as well that veterinary has an extremly high drop out rate for women. Its partly becuase veterinary isnt nursing a sick bird with a broken wing back to health before releasing it back into the wild, its mostly putting down terminally sick/injured pets, and women cant deal with that as well as men. Im not critising women for that, I think its sweet more than anything.
My point is leftoids and rightoid who spend too much time online have a delusional idea of what a life surronded by nature is. Its not fun, its very messy, its hard work.

Nature is fricking ruthless, it's a point to how privileged the west truly is that people see it as a peaceful and serene. Driving your car to a national park and chilling in a hammock after a 5 mile hike is peaceful and serene. Slaughtering livestock, skinning and gutting them is not. And that's not even actually hunting.
My good boy got cancer a few years back, when I took him to the vet for a checkup he was like "he's in heckin painerinos, you should put him down today" That shit me off a bit.
Women have an idea of work that comes from barbie cartoons and tv dramas and it's basically illegal to tell them how it actually is because that's making a toxic environment and not supporting women
The UK has a dire shortage of doctors and it doesn't help that 60% of our training places and training money is going on women doctors who will do one month of the actual job, realise it's no fun and not like a soap opera, and then just marry a doctor and become a stay at home wife. All the money and time training them completely wasted
Im going to ruin my reputation on this website when I say the following:
I dont actually hate women.
I think they're really good at having empathy and caring for small and weaker things than themselves. Which, in general, is a great quality. But it does make some things harder for them. Im not surprised that women burn out of fields that take a very large emotional toll on their practioners, like medicine or veteniary. Honestly, I just wish people would be more upfront with the reality of those fields.
>barb the nurse practitioner with two years of college who did just did a sad tiktok dance after giving your grandma a lethal dose of hydralazine because she misread "hydroxyzine" is a "healthcare worker"
People were upfront, but doing anything less than telling women they can do anything and that they're goddesses is basically illegal in modern society. Suggesting to a woman she wouldn't be able to do a job because of inherent feminine empathy would get you labelled as the worst possible kind of sexist

The empathy of women is often performative, and when its not then its incredibly myopic to the point that often make things worse by trying to act on it because they can't step back for a second to think about how to logically tackle the problem.
I went as part of a school trip, along with a bunch of other like 5 year olds.
All the cows were hooked up to this one suction machine which ran all the milk through this clear glass vat thing in the middle of the stall.
Then while we were watching, the milk flowing through the vat went brown
We pointed it out to farm guy, who went and picked up a suction cap from where it'd fallen in to the shit on the ground, and he plugged it back on to a cow
Because if it did, it probably wound up getting dumped somewhere and didnt make it into the consumer supply. Regulatory authorities are extremly strict about food sanitation.

I was actually intending to become a Trucker, but the industry is currently shaky and I'd have to move to a different state to learn to drive (I had to interrupt on teacher giving me a nonsensical to tell him I hadn't started the car because he hadn't put his seatbelt on).

No lol. People worked all their lives, including woman and children. Some exceptions existed in winter only.
The number you probably think of as "time working" is the number of time peasent had to work at their lord's fields (ie. tax). He still needed to figure out how to feed, clothe and shelter himself on his own.
We have a surprising amount of information about medieval peasantry through parish records actually. I wrote a big paper about English peasantry farming when I was wasting my time in college.
Of course but it came with a realistic, dedicated vision of working hard and building a family and community. Not a side hustle that a malformed imp can neglect while writing comic books and novels.
I think a reality tv series about this would be amazing. Put some tumblrina neon haired creature on an actual farm and watch them struggle for half a day before giving up.
There should be a Survivor-type game show in the middle of Missouri where the two teams are bluehairs and chuds and we get to see half of each team kill themselves when the nearest cell tower is down for maintenance and they can't watch speedruns or jack off to barefoot women wandering around fields of grain

One of the hicks asked if the farmland in Wisconsin was similar. Heck no, we have things like trees and hills.

Making some money on a homestead isn't hard. Making enough money is. I've been working on mine for awhile and still have to be a wagie.
What they aren't prepared for is everything else. Shits hard, wood stoves don't always work perfectly, chopping and hauling wood is very physical and time consuming. There is always something you should be doing.
Drawing comics and chilling is a pipe dream for this lifestyle.
Edit: they're also physically disabled and underdeveloped. Lol what a fricking joke thinking you'll homestead as a cripple.

How did you end up having a duck as a pet?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
My family lives in a rural place so we always had chickens and someone we knew happened to have some young ducks and we bought two off em. One of them died from illness early on but we had Puddle for a year before he got brutally killed. The chickens never bugged him so he just lived with them and had a baby pool he’d swim in that we’d refill. The dog chased a few of the chickens too but only killed Puddle.

I stayed with relatives who run a dairy farm for a few days.
I was in the milking parlour which has a kind of trench running down the middle where the person stands. There are cows on either sides of you, facing away from the trench so you can attach/remove the suction device.
It looks like this
The first time I was milking cows with them, a cow shat all over my left shoulder. I had to finish the milking session before I could clean myself up.
I heard a stat as well that veterinary has an extremly high drop out rate for women. Its partly becuase veterinary isnt nursing a sick bird with a broken wing back to health before releasing it back into the wild, its mostly putting down terminally sick/injured pets, and women cant deal with that as well as men. Im not critising women for that, I think its sweet more than anything.
My point is leftoids and rightoid who spend too much time online have a delusional idea of what a life surronded by nature is. Its not fun, its very messy, its hard work.

Nature is fricking ruthless, it's a point to how privileged the west truly is that people see it as a peaceful and serene. Driving your car to a national park and chilling in a hammock after a 5 mile hike is peaceful and serene. Slaughtering livestock, skinning and gutting them is not. And that's not even actually hunting.

Women have an idea of work that comes from barbie cartoons and tv dramas and it's basically illegal to tell them how it actually is because that's making a toxic environment and not supporting women
The UK has a dire shortage of doctors and it doesn't help that 60% of our training places and training money is going on women doctors who will do one month of the actual job, realise it's no fun and not like a soap opera, and then just marry a doctor and become a stay at home wife. All the money and time training them completely wasted

Im going to ruin my reputation on this website when I say the following:
I dont actually hate women.
I think they're really good at having empathy and caring for small and weaker things than themselves. Which, in general, is a great quality. But it does make some things harder for them. Im not surprised that women burn out of fields that take a very large emotional toll on their practioners, like medicine or veteniary. Honestly, I just wish people would be more upfront with the reality of those fields.

The empathy of women is often performative, and when its not then its incredibly myopic to the point that often make things worse by trying to act on it because they can't step back for a second to think about how to logically tackle the problem.

I went as part of a school trip, along with a bunch of other like 5 year olds.
All the cows were hooked up to this one suction machine which ran all the milk through this clear glass vat thing in the middle of the stall.
Then while we were watching, the milk flowing through the vat went brown
We pointed it out to farm guy, who went and picked up a suction cap from where it'd fallen in to the shit on the ground, and he plugged it back on to a cow

Long story short he backed off once he realized how much time, effort and pure dumb luck it would take to get if off the ground and he's by far the most neurodivergentally hard working person I know.
