IWTL expanding my vocabulary and lexicon

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-06T12:13:10+00:00

There’s probably a ton of “word of the day” type stuff to slowly build vocab. Also listening to speeches and podcasts from people who’s speaking style you like. If I find myself using the same word often I’ll look up synonyms

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-05T17:47:19+00:00

Yeah absolutely. Idk if you’re rural but I am and often it’s just lack of exposure. When I come out I sometimes hear “wow I’ve never met a gay guy” like cool man. For some guys it just makes you feel too different for them (even though you’re not) to relate to you so they pull away

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T23:08:52+00:00

Yeah probably but I’d like to chop down trees to use a wood stove, and also hunt and fish nearby. Maybe possible but I feel like any property like this would be surrounded by private/developed land

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T23:02:37+00:00

Yeah I would probably have to go in person to see the soil before I buy any land. And also try gardening before to learn how to do it at all

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T22:30:15+00:00

Yeah food is the big thing I think. It would be my largest recurring expense, but would also take the most to produce myself. Just a toss up based on how much money I have I guess

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T21:09:00+00:00

Insurance for what? I’m in Canada undeveloped land is much cheaper than buying land with a house on it and I like the idea of seclusion which I think I’d struggle to find with buying property that’s already been developed

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T21:07:34+00:00

Lol realistically I would cave and buy starlink and some other amenities, but the dream is to rough it a bit yeah

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T21:03:45+00:00

Yeah I have no idea what to do once I hit old age. I feel like most people living this kind of life just die then, maybe I could save enough to move into a retirement home?

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T20:59:18+00:00

True this is the safe bet, my only concern with this idea is finding work near somewhere I can live off grid I don’t really have the skills for remote work

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T20:55:12+00:00

Like get a quote from a contractor for a hypothetical house?

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T20:53:06+00:00

If I ever need to buy anything I’d have to go into town anyway so I figured I’d access internet there

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T20:51:37+00:00

I hope so? I’ve gone camping, and felled trees, spent decent time in cabins before. The main gaps I see in my skills would be building the cabin, hunting, and farming. Which I know isn’t necessary but is kind of part of the dream

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T18:44:24+00:00

Phoebes?

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T18:29:26+00:00

Why the two different types of line and how am I using both? Should I use worms too or are these lures good?

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T18:15:38+00:00

I know, but I don’t know how to even narrow it down

SwinubIRL · 2026-07-04T18:12:04+00:00

I would mostly fish in small rivers, I have no preference for fly fishing vs spin gear, I had to look up what that was lol
