How did you get started with homesteading?

I have about 1,000 acres in Minnesota. My great great great grandpa moved here from Austria to homestead it in 1872. Back then it was 180 acres obviously but it has grown over the successive generations. I do your standard large scale farming but I am doing more and more smaller scale stuff. I've got some beef steers, pigs, and chickens. I also have a decent garden with tomatoes, various peppers, and green beans. I'm working on establishing a wild black raspberry vineyard. I'd also like a hops vineyard and to grow some barley. Right now I just do the standard corn and soybeans.

He wasn't joking and this girl is pretty damn fat. However vagina is vagina and her personality is tolerable. I'm not sure if I could maintain an erection while having sex with her but I am willing to find out.

Also I am obviously very desperate. There is no being a "higher value male" when you are 25, unemployed, and living with your parents. I'll take what I can get and maybe if I get a job at walmart that could lead to something else and maybe a girl I'm legit attracted to.

I'd put my penis in your vagina if that's what you're getting at.

I have a DWI so I can't get jobs that involve driving anymore. But yes I am able to drive semis and stuff of that nature.

Well then I suppose I'm fucked then because my parents will not accept me having such a job. I think my only option left is to kill myself at this point but I'll wait until they kick me out. I've actually prepared for this day and have the stuff ready to do it because I know that is probably what is going to end up happening.

Well first of all working on another farm would be silly. Also how are all these fuckups getting these shitty jobs and not me? I'm obviously not the best either but I have been doing stuff out here for most of my life and have a wide variety of skills and knowledge. Even if I hated the job I'd still get shit done because that's what I do.

Yeah but I have a degree in biology though. However I have assembled my own computer in the past so I probably have a decent understanding.

That still doesn't help the fact that my parents want me to get a job that requires having a degree. That's the whole reason I'm doing this in the first place. I told them I was applying for minimum wage stuff once and they were like "what the fuck?"

Any examples of what these jobs are?

Not enthusiastic for sure because it would be impossible. I guess it was more of like "meh" and "I can't believe my life has come to this"

I've applied to walmarts and mcdonalds in the area a couple of times. If there are more people applying than positions it seems like I will never get the job. Also my parents are alcoholics themselves and were neglectful and beat me quite a bit so that's what they "did wrong".

I'm not an "employee". I guess I'd describe myself as more of a partner since I don't have a wage. I sell grain in my name to get money.

Also I don't really have an idea for what I should do for volunteer work. I guess I'd rather do that than get minimum wage. Money isn't the issue here, it's getting my parents off my case.

I've been rejected by several different Taco Bells

Apparently not if I have no references

She started talking about masturbating

Do they get paid? I think it would be ideal if I had a job from my computer.

The whole point of this is that my dad wants me to spend some time off of the farm.

neubs · 1 day

It's just that I have a good idea of who I am and what I want. Sure I'd like a girlfriend but I'm also fine with just smoking weed and masturbating. I don't really have an interest in other people and being in civilization.

I did look into the whole manual labor thing and landscaping. It's sort of disheartening being rejected by a company that my dad could pay cash for. Maybe he should just buy me a landscaping company and I could run it from the farm.

Sober or not I probably would have done the same thing. I was notorious during all of my schooling for not giving a fuck and wasting my "potential".

My entire life has been self-reflection because of how isolated I am.

No jobs get me excited and motivated. One of the reasons why I like farming is how little I actually work. Planting is done now so all I have to do this summer is spray sometimes and haul loads of grain to town. It's raining a little bit right now so I'm sitting inside on the internet. This kicks ass. My only boss is my dad and if he pisses me off I can tell him to go fuck himself. How many other jobs have bosses like that?

If I see anyone I know in the store I sort of go into Metal Gear Solid mode just to avoid awkward small-talk. I guess I could just curl in the fetal position and cry in the bathroom until she leaves.

I'm on probation for 2 years so I can't leave the state.
