2017-10-16 10:21:05 UTC

Literally nobody can speak anything but english, learning languages isn't my strong point

2017-10-16 10:21:17 UTC

Debt too from uni

2017-10-16 10:23:07 UTC

If I keep my politics to myself or tone it down I should be alright

2017-10-16 10:23:45 UTC

Long term goal is to become autonomous or move to join this community

2017-10-16 10:24:08 UTC

Wouldnt spend ages there just enough to get some good skills

2017-10-16 10:35:49 UTC

if you're good at something

2017-10-16 10:35:55 UTC

see about being able to do that shit freelance

2017-10-16 10:36:21 UTC

i'm an artist myself, i hold a steady job in my art, and freelance and consult on the side

2017-10-16 10:36:34 UTC

i spent exactly ZERO years in higher education

2017-10-16 10:36:41 UTC

thankfully

2017-10-16 10:36:58 UTC

becuase now i'm many years ahead of anyone else ay my age in my industry

2017-10-16 10:38:01 UTC

not having any higher degrees is considered a BONUS in many indusrties

2017-10-16 10:38:10 UTC

Wow man

2017-10-16 10:38:20 UTC

could you maybe consult my lil brother?

2017-10-16 10:38:33 UTC

do what you love, and be great at it, if you're good enough at it, people will pay you shitloads of money for it

2017-10-16 10:38:36 UTC

regardless of what it is

2017-10-16 10:38:42 UTC

whats' your brother do?

2017-10-16 10:40:28 UTC

well... my brother had a 3 year period of intensively training as an artist.

2017-10-16 10:40:43 UTC

He made very nice pictures with coal and graphit

2017-10-16 10:40:54 UTC

then from one day to the next he just stopped

2017-10-16 10:41:01 UTC

and he went into psychology

2017-10-16 10:41:13 UTC

he had a real talent for art

2017-10-16 10:41:21 UTC

he has no talent at all whatsoever for psychology

2017-10-16 10:42:20 UTC

he probably had a reason for it

2017-10-16 10:42:44 UTC

it's a common thing where people who're good at it get discouraged by people telling them that art doesnt make money

2017-10-16 10:43:02 UTC

my dad did the same, and he's an artist himself and was like 'dont make the mistake i made' lmao

2017-10-16 10:43:08 UTC

and now i make waaay more money than he does

2017-10-16 10:43:16 UTC

good for you!

2017-10-16 10:43:25 UTC

is it too late to start doing art at 25?

2017-10-16 10:43:33 UTC

never is

2017-10-16 10:43:48 UTC

I wouldn't want to make money with it, just for my own entertainment

2017-10-16 10:43:55 UTC

most 'famous' people never started doing their thing until they were like 30 or 40 or something

2017-10-16 10:44:09 UTC

and how fast you improve is 100% in your own hands

2017-10-16 10:44:15 UTC

there's infinite resources online

2017-10-16 10:44:21 UTC

just need the discipline for it

2017-10-16 10:44:27 UTC

if you have no discinpline, don't do art

2017-10-16 10:44:43 UTC

you should be working on crafting discipline first lol

2017-10-16 10:45:31 UTC

I actually am inbterested in wood-carving

2017-10-16 10:45:45 UTC

drawing and painting? I'M not good there

2017-10-16 10:45:50 UTC

and I have no singing voice ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

2017-10-16 10:46:03 UTC

doesnt matter what you're good at

2017-10-16 10:46:06 UTC

you can GET good at anything

2017-10-16 10:46:43 UTC

I love the attitude :))

2017-10-18 12:50:31 UTC

I was thinking of doing a course in Beekeeping

2017-10-18 13:29:49 UTC

@English N Angry you're going to love this

2017-10-18 13:30:48 UTC

Imagine how much honey you can produce with a few dozen of these. No smoke, no suits, no dead bees, no rotting wood.

2017-10-18 13:46:33 UTC

Yeh i seen it

2017-10-18 13:46:43 UTC

Honey is expensive as well

2017-10-18 14:18:29 UTC

It's a potential income source for the community, and the pollination would assist other crops. Once I get up there I imagine setting up at least a few of these low maintenance little money hives

2017-10-18 14:19:47 UTC

I bee the Beekeeper of cascade

2017-10-18 14:21:32 UTC

Hahaha

2017-10-18 15:09:01 UTC

There are two spiritual dangers of not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace.

To avoid the first danger, one should plant a garden, preferably where there is no grocer to confuse the issue.

To avoid the second, he should lay a split of good oak on the andirons, preferably where there is no furnace, and let it warm his shins while a February blizzard tosses the trees outside.

2017-10-18 15:09:11 UTC

Favorite quote about living off the land

2017-10-18 20:23:48 UTC

2017-10-18 20:25:54 UTC

Idk if I should try join the army as an officer and learn mechanics or engineering or somethign through there

2017-10-18 20:26:12 UTC

2017-10-18 20:26:13 UTC

well i'm certainly joining the military

2017-10-18 20:26:33 UTC

Not fighting these shill wars anyway

2017-10-18 20:26:44 UTC

If I do not being in a combat role

2017-10-18 20:27:21 UTC

Can carry on with the gym and learn how to shoot regardless

2017-10-18 21:16:20 UTC

those flow hives are proprietary, prone to break, and kinda crappy overall

2017-10-18 21:17:42 UTC

(i love beekeeping)

2017-10-18 21:21:04 UTC

if you want a rabbit hole to fall down for a while, look at michael bush's talks on beekeeping

2017-10-18 21:22:04 UTC

hes a greybeard beekeeper, has a lot of thoughts on the prevelance of varroa in the late 20th century and other stuff

2017-10-18 21:23:26 UTC

@neetkthx wow, that's good to know!

2017-10-18 21:23:37 UTC

Thanks for the info

2017-10-18 21:24:20 UTC

its fascinating

2017-10-18 21:24:33 UTC

i fell down the 'i want to keep bees in general' hole a few years ago

2017-10-18 21:25:21 UTC

you start reading and watching, then its like 'you must treat for varroa or else' then you are like ok, whats the best way to treat, then you eventually find michael bush and realize you and everyone else might be big dummies

2017-10-18 21:26:17 UTC

colony collapse disorder, as far as anyone knows, isnt caused by one thing, but by a whole bunch of things, one of which is the varroa mite

2017-10-18 21:27:28 UTC

How hard is bee keeping?

2017-10-18 21:27:40 UTC

there's a solid chance that the reason varroa became so prevalent in the 80s-90s and is such an issue today, is that in the 60s-70s, they were fighting other parasites by treating with erythromycin(iirc) pretty heavy, and the varroa being less susceptable outcompeted the other parasites

2017-10-18 21:27:45 UTC

its not hard at all

2017-10-18 21:28:02 UTC

the hardest part about beekeeping is not going out every day and fucking with your hives

2017-10-18 21:28:20 UTC

real talk

2017-10-18 21:28:26 UTC

gotta let them bees be bees

2017-10-18 21:29:23 UTC

the real question is, how hard is it to make a living beekeeping

2017-10-18 21:29:27 UTC

(real hard)

2017-10-18 21:31:27 UTC

its like, how many times can you open the oven door before the souffle falls? well lets find out

2017-10-19 06:09:08 UTC

We need beekeepers. Those precious little buzzers are slowly going extinct, and we need some guys who help them survive. Also, in some folk traditions bees have sacred significance.

2017-10-19 07:20:55 UTC

Love the lil buzzers

2017-10-19 10:36:30 UTC

>Tfw the honeybee is the only industrious bee that labors to produce something that benefits all life.
>Tfw the africanized killer bee does nothing but steal and murder, is hijacking and displacing the honeybees from their native habitats and threatening them with extinction.
>Tfw beehives are getting decimated by a subversive (((parasite))) threatening the continuity of their colonies.

>Mfw we and honeybees are in the same boat..

>We must secure the existence of our honey and a future for bee children

2017-10-19 15:50:03 UTC

Yeah I was thinking the same things, the problem the bees are facing is like a perfect analogy to us

2017-10-19 15:51:31 UTC

>mfw literally african bees are the same as black people

2017-10-19 16:24:28 UTC

Or Islamization

2017-10-19 16:24:49 UTC

Two heads of the same hydra really

2017-10-19 16:28:43 UTC

Maybe the honeybee has untapped potential as a symbol of white identity
