Well if you're looking to keep your day job then I can't really help you there but if you really like it, and ever want to get some experience working with a large outfit, guys around here are always looking for hired men.

I work for a 24000 acre farm near Pierre, SD. I love it out here.

That is good to know, thank you Andrew. You live in a beautiful part of the nation.

Opportunity?

I f**cking hate developers.

And this shit is just gonna continue as more and more whites flee farther and farther from cultural enrichment.

What was touched on in the article is that there are state programs to help retiring farmers transfer land to young farmers. Sometimes this is like an apprenticeship, work-to-own thing. Could be good for some of our guys.

There are certainly people who express an interest in farming. The question is whether they're willing to do the work

Its a tough business, especially out west

Who here adheres to a vegan or plant-based diet? I’ve tried in on and off over the past 8 months, and I feel a sort of mental lethargy. Is this just placebo or is that a very real effect from this sort of diet?

Like not only mentally-tired but scatter-brained as well.

@AltRightMick Your brain thrives on healthy animal fats. Your brain is like 70-80% fat, it needs it to function at peak.

Depriving your brain of animal fats will do that to you.

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola I feel like that’s just a meme though. Joe Rogan used to say that all of the time in between his comments on how DMT is what makes us dream at night.

I'm on keto, I know several other people on keto

And others who have been on keto

All share my experience of clearer thought and better focus and concentration on keto

Just because Joe Rogan spouts memes sometimes doesnt' meane everything he says is a meme

I feel like genuinely giving Keto a fair shot would require me to give up beer for a couple months.

My head was never more clear than on keto

Having beer is tragic

There are light beers that are only like 2-3g of carbs per 12oz bottle. If you are going for under 20g of carbs per day, you can fit in beer. I don't like to drink alcohol much at all really because your body cannot metabolize fat while there is alcohol in your system, but if you are having a drink, most liquor is 0g of carbs, and you can find beers that are like 2-3g. Now, they will be shitty light beers, but it will be beer.

@here If any of you guys are interested in farming you can shoot me a DM. I work on a 24,000 acre farm in South Dakota. I've only been working here for about a month but if I can't answer your questions I can find someone who can.

I recommend, if any of you guys are single and aren't tied down to anything, Take up this mans request to form a community up in SD

It's my first day back on keto. Lost a bunch of weight last year doing it. Anyone thinking about it you gotta try it. It works

I’m on day two of Keto because I gained a bunch of weight after getting hurt back in December. I’m feeling that initial Keto fatigue

But it’s so true how just eating some fatty stuff really makes you feel full quickly

@Der Seeteufel - SD Should I say fuck college, I'll be knocking on your doorstep

@Grossly Incandescent first week or so sucks till you start to get use to it. Pork rinds, bacon and sour cream are your best friends

@Grossly Incandescent drink Powerade zero and get some pink Himalayan salt

Drink a lot of water eat lots of bacon

@AltRightMick there are light beers that aren't bad

I had to give up cider, there's no such thing as keto friendly cider

@Mark Vandal pork rinds and french onion dip is also good

@Grossly Incandescent Drink a lot of water, get some "Lite Salt" and Magnesium Citrate from the supermarket and put a tsp of Lite Salt and a tbsp of Magnesium Citrate in about a liter of water. Add some flavoring like Mio or crystal lite.

One thing I will say, a thing I enjoy even more than the weight loss, is that I appreciate the way my mind works now on a carnivore way of eating. I am so much more focused, as you will hear people say, but the clarity has made me so much more assertive and “alpha”.

I don’t feel enslaved by impulse or passions.
