I was 23. Just a young fella over there. Probably haven’t even broken a hip yet.

If North America could solve it’s food waste problem we would not need so much industrial monocropping that actually feeds no one.

He is now. You even elected him. No sending that asshat here. He is Texan now.

Small farmer here. Devoid the soil of nutrients by tilling. Kill all the soil biology by spraying chemicals. Grow only fast yield cash crops. Grow the same crop year after year for decades or more. Breed crops for appearance and yield over nutrition. What the fuck do you expect?

If you are soil biology this is very true in your typical soy field.

Don’t want to learn to cook that’s cool too, just don’t complain when things go badly. Just like anything else in life.

I went to uni right out of highschool. Became a paramedic. Has a good career but it just wasn’t what I wanted. By 25 I quit and was travelling doing odd jobs or whatever I could. Meeting people, seeing places. It wasn’t easy but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ve been many places, done many things, met so many interesting people and completely changed my world view from when I was 20 because of it all.

I say don’t let society tell you what is right or normal. Find your own path. Do things you find interesting and don’t make your life about your work. Now I am old and have medical issues. I’ll be 50 this year. I’m glad I lived while I had the opportunity. It’s your life make it what you want it to be not someone else’s idea of life.

This post has many comments. Not one the same as mine, yet many the same as yours. Op was asking for help. I gave my knowledge, gained from experience and education that was not seen in any other comment on the post. Fuck me for offering assistance that I know from my history is an option as to this person’s problem when I could have just circle jerked.

Yea fuck me for assuming and offering a valid reason for the issue.

Us too. Inappropriate memes that make us laugh. Avoids the “can I see” from the kids.

It takes years to learn to drive well and be comfortable at it. You can read all the books about drivong but until you actually do it you are terrible at it. Even after you start youre still terrrible. It takes time and practice. Cooking is the same. You need practice to build the skills to know what works and what doesn’t. You can’t assume because you read the book you know it all.

Exhaustion after a full night’s sleep is often sleep apnea.

Get tested for sleep apnea. You’d be surprised how many of us have this and never knew. We just knew we woke up exhausted.

You just don’t know how to cook. Small changes in cooking styles as per the ingredients your using is what cooking is. Technique is as important as ingredients.

So you’re basically Canadian.

Then at least stop sending them.

If only that were true here.

Here’s a hot take. Do what you want when you are young. Find a way. I spent my 20’s moving around, having shitty but fun jobs. I travelled. Saw all kinds of places and met all sorts of people. It wasn’t easy and sometimes it wasn’t fun. I found myself homeless even several times. I still wouldn’t change any of it. I found a wonderful partner and we moved together for a while before settling and having kids.

In my early 40s I was diagnosed with a really rare cancer that paralyzed me from the chest down for a year prior to surgery and left lasting disabilities following. Now in my 50’s with declining health I am so glad I lived. It means I don’t have a lot of things others have but I’ve never cared much for the Jones’ anyway. If Cancer taught me anything it’s fuck society and their expectations. Do you. Find a way. Be happy.
