    Older Americans also be like “You should get a job”

    Then when you offer to cut their grass or clean their house, they’re like “I have a robot lawnmower and a robot vacuum cleaner, I don’t need your services”

      they also don’t know how to use the robot lawnmower and robot vacuum cleaner

      not even because “hurr hurr boomers don’t know how to use tech” but because these fucking domestic robots break after a few months to try to get you to pay for repairs and/or a brand new one

      Good God… I’d love for some help with the yard work. There is no lawn whatsoever so mowing is out but the wild roses and the bittersweet is consuming the back yard somwthing fierce. It’s like gonna eat any animals that pass by consuming.

      Got a house full of other apartment tenants who always say, “I’ll help!” yet never do. Shit, they don’t even put their recycling and garbage from the porch to the curb… I have to.

      FML.

        Could see if any farmers in the area would let you borrow a goat (though i dont know how feasible that is wherever you live), they would probably absolutely destroy those

        Southeast Mississippi here, if you happen to be somewhere within sensible driving distance, I’d be glad to help.

    Those older Amerikkklans can fuck off into the sun. I’m coming up on a year and a half out of work.
