At least one of these applies no matter if you're working for yourself or hired by someone else.<br /><br />If you don't need money but do need to exchange something else (shoes or video games you made yourself, housekeeping services you do yourself if you and your spouse agreed that you'd stay at home and he or she would pay for rent and groceries, anything) to barter for food, at least one of these still applies too.<br /><br />Now if you own the right *land* and have enough control of it, you can get the food yourself without any other people! You can plant seeds and eat what you grow! You can raise animals and slaughter them for meat! You can still hunt and gather wild animals and plants if you don't farm the land! If there's at least some of one bank of a waterway with enough wildlife in it, you can go fishing and eat the fish you catch! If your land is fully paved then you still need other people, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-73404364754738147672016-05-03T11:05:17.147+10:002016-05-03T11:05:17.147+10:00"You're going out into the world of “plas..."You're going out into the world of “plastic people”. Sadly, this means that you have to appear to be a bit “plastic” like them in order to survive."<br /><br />Calling them "plastic" is considering them all inferior to oneself. Therefore, it's *not* a good way to prepare one to work with them and avoid being dangerous to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-87232002706824834922016-04-16T07:02:52.224+10:002016-04-16T07:02:52.224+10:00That sounds like hell. :< When exactly does &qu...That sounds like hell. :< When exactly does "It" get better?Xakirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414191540853586383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-42172825067206255572016-04-15T02:19:55.978+10:002016-04-15T02:19:55.978+10:00I waited until after I had been "accepted&quo...I waited until after I had been "accepted" by my peers to disclose that I'm autistic. It gets poked fun of every once in a while, but it's a very relaxed and open environment where I work and joking gets personal with everyone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305530438345466990noreply@blogger.com
