Wrong. Plowing the fields and taking care of the animals is not stressful, it's actually kinda relieving. Running from meeting to meeting, sitting in a traffic jam, when you are in a hurry, not doing excercises, eating junk food, working 12 hours a day, bringing up your spoiled retarded kids and arguing with your wife who is cheating on you is stressful. Do this for 30 years and you have your grey hair.

The gray hair might be fake. Maybe it's some hipster thing

Our modern stress is NOTHING compared to what our ancestors had to endure

Plowing the fields and taking care of the animals is not stressful, it's actually kinda relieving.

It's relieving if you visit your uncle who has a farm for 2 weeks in the summer. Doing it for a living is fucking brutal. Pigs don't care that you want a vacation or if it's a New Years Eve, you still gotta go there and shovel shit every day. Back-breaking labor 365 days a year. Too long winter, supplies don't last and you starve. Too short summer, crops are bad and you starve.

Starvation risk world vs Kardhassian world.

I'd take the risk.

Hard work =/= stress.

And he works for Feargus Urquhart, so he has to constantly go to the cheesecake factory to get extra development funds and smile back at the waiters constantly coming up to ask if everything is OK, and the tip has to come out of his own pocket because you know Feargus doesn't tip

Please, how long do you think it actually takes to shovel pig shit. A few hours of honest labour, rewarding your body with strength and health. Modern jobs chain you to a desk for eight and a half hours a day, the cafeteria vending machine sells salty, fatty snacks and sugary caffeinated drinks which slowly poison your body, you have to run on a treadmill to exercise, the constant running in place thematically bringing to mind the empty rut of your work life fuelling the ennui you feel as a sort of inner acknowledgment that your days are spiritually bereft, your only solace is your family but there is too much to do and too little time to do it in so you can't even spend time relishing in your mutual love, and if you lift your head from your workstation and look at the world around you all you see is the government openly plotting to funnel money from your pockets into those of billionaires to ensure they will be on-top when the climate-change-caused collapse of society takes place. Please, please let me shovel pig shit.

All of this is true except he eats a pound of jelly beans a day which is pretty gross.

Yes, every summer for about 20 years until my gramps passed away. And he had pretty medieval setup with barely no machines so I can drive a horse cart and I'm fairly proficient with a scythe.

Your move hombre.

 

[Latelistener]

I'ma get medieval on your farm.

He should have chosen the honourable profession of a highwayman .

Joke aside,respect for you mate . We need more people like you and your old man.

Please, how long do you think it actually takes to shovel pig shit. A few hours of honest labour [--] Please, please let me shovel pig shit.

I'll give you a real life example:

- wake up at 4.00
- work on the animals from 5.00 to 10.00
- have lunch/breakfast and then do maintenance work/paperwork
- work on the animals from 15.00 to 20.00

And that is 24/7.

This does not include the time spent planting/plowing/harvesting.

Honest labour is great, I agree. But I'd pick something that does not involve animals. You get off waaaaay easier.

I heard Roguey doesn't love Sawyer anymore, but sometimes I wonder if Sawyer was even aware of Roguey's existence.

It is more of a i hate you because i love you too much and you don't,kind of relationship. Roguey will change his tune the moment Sawyer calls him and profess his undying love.

 

[karoliner]

I've had grey hair since I was 10.

How do you know how much grey hair all your ancestors had at any age?

None of my grand-parents or any other 'old' person from their villages got their first greys till their mid to late 50s. When you take a look at old photos, also no one younger than 50 had a single gray.

People (ESPECIALLY women) are getting old and whitering at alarming pace. Young girls are starting to mature (at 15-16) and already when they hit 24-25 they look like average 30something used to look mere 20-30 years ago.

Time is passing by like ferarri, girls dangerously young are looking 'ready' and girls my age are already hitting the wall, hitting it hard. God, can you reset time speed to x1.00?

That's because there is nothing stressful about living in a small house in middle of nature tending to animals or land. It's opposite, it is very calming just to step barefoot on soil.

Fair enough, it's not for everyone I guess. I have never been happier with my day-to-day than when I was working as a farmhand, though I'll agree owning a farm comes with a number of restrictions. For me it's the dream job, despite all that, and I suspect many would find it a rewarding profession.

 

[Neanderthal]

Pickings fucking backbreaking i'll say that, hours are bloody horrendous, pigs are most obstinate creatures i've ever encountered, and when you can't whistle its a fucker herding sheep wi dog. Still better than pit work, first and last face I worked at were 40 inch high, after bracing an equipment you had to wriggle there on your belly, piss wet through and mucked up to eyeballs then start work, quit after first day cos o me claustrophobia and colliery closed a year later. Don't reckon i'd want to do either now having got old, soft and fat on easy manual jobs i've done since.

Ought to get backgrounds like this in crpgs more.
