| I feel like the future will have this, plus ads displayed while the work is done, so websites can profit while they profit. |

| Every now and then I consider stepping away from the computer job, and becoming a lumberjack. This is one of those moments. |

| ▲ | jones89176 6 days ago | parent | next [-] | | my family takes care of a large-ish forest, so I have to help since my early teens.
Let me tell you: think twice, it's f*ckin dangerous. Chainsaws, winches, heavy trees falling and breaking in unpredictable ways. I had a couple of close calls myself. Recently a guy from a neighbor village was squashed to death by a root plate that tilted. I often think about quitting tech myself, but becoming a full-time lumberjack is certainly not an alternative for me. | | |
| ▲ | silversmith 5 days ago | parent [-] | | Hah, I know, been around forests since childhood, seen (and done) plenty of sketchy stuff. For me it averages out to couple days of forest work a year. It's backbreaking labour, and then you deal with the weather. But man, if tech goes straight into cyberpunk dystopia but without the cool gadgets, maybe it is the better alternative. |
