    Goat farming is probably harder than most jobs on LinkedIn. Except you won’t end as a psychical mental wreck.

      I don’t know about that. Farming involves a lot of physical labor. Also, goats have horns.

      My wife’s best friend grew up on a goat farm. She does not recommend it. She has stories.

      I can’t tell if ‘psychical’ is a mispelling of physical or if some people feel the word psychological needs to be shortened into a new word.

        Psyche is the mind. Psychology is the study of the mind.

        Psychical is of or pertaining to the mind. Psychological is of or pertaining to the study of the mind.

        What about a third possibility: some people aren’t native English speakers?

          Ill take the L on not knowing that psychical was a word. However you and the other person seem to not be acknowledging that the poster did in fact misspell the word they admitted they aren’t a native english speaker. Thats a detail thats very easy to to actively ignore while on your way to ‘bhut acthually’ someone. As a final thought, I went to google trends to see how many people search up ‘psychical’, theres not even enough searches using that word to form statistical trends. Ive never heard of it before someone accidentally misspelled their way into it and almost certainly I will never hear it again after this conversation is done. Its a dead word like many in the english language. That doesn’t matter, the armchair linguist got the chemicals flowing in your brain from correcting someone on the internet, you got what you came for now fuck off.
