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.
More goat for me
And me! Goat curry is one of my favourite things on the planet! So delicious!
Goats taste better ~~than~~ with vegetables
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.

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!
How else can I legally obtain enough currency to retire to my goat farm?
Try blacksmithing.
You can buy land for 20k.
You can find people giving away goats for basically free online.
If you want to make money out of goat farming theres a lot more to this than just a little bit of land and a few goats. Running a profitable goat farm means, that you either sacrifice all of your free time or that you scale up to a level where the goats are your only source of income. It isn't that easy and devinetively not that cheap to start with it. You need a stable for the goats, machines to bring food and water to it. You need the food itself. A trailer to move the goats from a to b, you need someone to sell your goats to and all of this must be as cheap as possible if you want to make a profit out of it.
wage slave
I think a lot of the people working that much make more money than they actually want to spend. The few that I know do. (They invest most of it.) They still want to have even more, but in the way that an athlete wants to set a new record.
I want to have enough to retire and not have to move to goat country, because I don't actually want to raise goats, I just want to work on my own engineering projects.
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.

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 want to do my job that I like. Even make money for the shareholders. Nobody seems to be interested though so fuck it goat farming it is.
Personally, I'd prefer cows to goats. They're like giant dogs 😃
A lot more expensive to maintain

Speaking from someone who spent high school living on a goat farm, you don't want to have a goat farm.
Goats are absolute assholes. This fuckers will find even the smallest hole in the fence and break out of it. Sheep are already bad, but goats are the worst.
I am definitely sliding down from the peak toward a trough. In which direction I can't say tho.
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.

Bar owner for me. Seriously if my biggest worries were drunks and selling beer, real actual tangible problems instead of the shit in the corporate world. Im so tired of the corporate world

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
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.
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.

I'll just say, compared to my day job, I'd rather be a goat farmer.
This shit is fucked.
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?
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
