  • I wish it was easier to keep your own chickens.

    They are pretty easy to care for if you have the land for them.

    My grandpa has his own chickens. He does live out in the country with room for them.

    He did have to put up overhead fencing/netting along with regular ground fences to keep out hawks and eagles. And occasionally he has had a ground predator problem. But he owns a shotgun so…

    But I would say still, pretty easy to raise egg-producing chickens in a humane way.

    If only people had the land then anyone could. You can even keep them where your little garden is. They eat pests.

    You don’t need that much room for a few chickens either.





  • Yes. U.s requires more gen ed courses. In many other countries, (I know for sure UK , India, and Germany ) students start specializing earlier (even at high school level) and focus on their area and take less general courses.

    There are pros and cons to this approach.

    I myself mastered in psych. U.s.

    Now I still had to take course work on economics, history, humanities, and 2 science courses. One was human anatomy the other weather.

    Only one was relevant to my major.

    Required Classes I recall taking for my associates unrelated to my major: macro economics, u.s history, art history, music history, and a weather class.

    I still feel like these classes were valuable. I actually felt like I learned a bit about human behavior with commerce and finances from the economics class.

    Of course studying the early history of my country at a less censored level was enlightening.

    Even though I got a C in the weather class (predicting weather is hard!), I still learned a few things that I apply to real life. For instance. If you get a day where it’s much warmer than usual or much colder, it’s almost certainly going to storm later that day or night.

    And I have a better general idea of why weather changes so much.

    I think knowing the history of art and music makes me understand the evolution of these things and appreciate where they come from.

    Idk. Maybe not everyone feels that way. Even though I took those classes because they were required, I didn’t feel like it was wasted time or irrelevant knowledge.
