Can I build a shed in your yard to live in? I'm sure we can find a way to use me as a tax write off/guard dog.

You can live in my burrow, if you don't mind a stinky owl warren

Fwiw, here are good places to start looking for opportunities abroad:

Honestly I have like no cash and no legal marketable skills so like I am probably going down with the amerikkkan ship.

That's what the unskilled list is for. This is just the short list, there are options if you lay your cards right. It takes a bit of planning but you do give up a lot. Stuff like this is worth knowing just in case. Also consider jobs in transit, on boats and air. Staying to fight it out is noble, though, but I do realise there's many who can't or won't, and if you can't totally make the jump, it is better to stay mobile.

Only if you’re okay with giant spiders, 90 degree weather almost year-round and indigenous people walking into your home whenever they feel like it.

You live close enough to this particular group and they consider you family, which also means they’re free to walk into your home to talk or take your food whenever they want.

i have a shed, but it's full of bikes, garden equipment and spiders

No, you'd have to dig underneath the backyard and have it be like night 1 in Minecraft

i wish i had a yard

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

no yard but extra room until kid is old enough to move into it? However I'm afraid its in Germany.

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I live in a block no garden sorry :(

I have a shed in my yard already, but I'm only renting, so I don't think I can let you stay there. You'd have to share it with the rats anyway, and they're mean neighbours.

Second I get through enough school for it to transfer someplace I am buying a yurt in Cambodia and doing telework.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago

I'm sure we can clear enough of our old junk out of the garage so you can sleep there

[–] ColombianLenin@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago

No yard here
