Personally, I have zero issues repeating myself indefinitely to people with sub-standard IQs just to ensure they grasp my point once their limited cognitive capacity suffers a total syntax overflow. Honestly, while performing this tedious service, I occasionally manage to avoid descending into pure, unadulterated cynicism—perhaps because I harbor a shred of sympathy for those who weren't cursed with my particular brand of genetic recombination—but most days, it is incredibly difficult not to let my true feelings bleed through via aggressive gestures or a pointed glare. To wrap this up: modesty is strictly relative to one's standing on the evolutionary ladder, and given my circumstances, I am disproportionately modest. Those narcissistic low-IQ types are the ones currently holding positions at the Department of State.

Haha, talk about arrogance... you're definitely a narcissist, though I couldn't speak to your IQ.😁

Maybe go take a Mensa test instead..

Haha, total trick question... I mean, just by posting here, a person is basically admitting they think they're smart. So, if nothing else, it definitely leans toward vanity, doesn't it?

I’m not really up to speed on what land is going for out in the Midwest lately... but I'm looking into it...
Does anyone have an idea of the rough prices per acre?
Also, how much can you actually make if you decide to lease the land out?

The cheapest plot I ever saw was around $1,600 an acre... though it sold, obviously.

If I remember correctly, Mexicans are actually ranked third or fourth globally when it comes to raspberry production, so if hazelnuts aren't turning a profit right now, raspberries definitely are—our neighbors are living proof of that.
To be perfectly honest, I’m not quite sure why there’s such a massive narrative about everyone abandoning agriculture... and even if there is some truth to it, I wonder if it's really an industry problem at all. It seems to me that while there are certainly certain individuals who see nothing but darkness no matter where they look, generally speaking... maybe we're just looking at a group of people who lack the drive and expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.

The idea of fleeing to the city... moving from the countryside to an urban center🙂 is a tough climb; honestly, only the most incredibly ambitious souls tend to make it, and then you're left wondering if all that grueling effort was even worth it just to say you 'made it' in the city.

We really ought to learn how to just be content and happy... chasing money endlessly doesn't actually make a person better.

Tell me about it. I've actually made some decent money lately, and you know what? I already feel different. I feel misunderstood, and my head is spinning with worries. I can't even sleep at night.😬
