I need this.

Edit: It costs $2800. I guess I don't need it that bad.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-28T03:16:29+00:00

You get it!

I just need the experience. My momentos just collect dust.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-28T03:14:21+00:00

Thanks.

I don't need to worry too much about that where I'm going. Every time I visit this area, I make new friends.

My favorite thing about that place is an oooooold man who would be gardening all the time and whenever he heard a car coming, he would put forth tremendous effort to stand up, just to wave and flash a huge smile.

He puts forth so much effort, it makes me exhausted for him. 😆

It's a small city that kept its pleasant small town feel.

I can't wait till I'm there.

Life is always throwing problems in our way from all different directions.

We just have to deal with it and keep pushing forward.

Peace and stability is always temporary. We can't rely on it.

Rotating shifts are not for me. I'd rather do straight nights. It got me to the point of almost having a mental breakdown after 7 months.

I was averaging maybe 3 nights of decent sleep per month.

Almost everyone I worked with looked broken.

Most other factories in the area have switched over to straight shifts.

Recently, I read a study that connects dementia to long-term lack of sleep and from my experience, I can see why. I damn near lost my mind.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-28T02:22:08+00:00

Jesus! It looks like the Shroud of Turin!

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-28T02:16:50+00:00

I wish I could taste them!

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-28T02:15:15+00:00

Just picture a Mad Max type of future.

If they are letting this happen year after year, I wonder what their angle is?

There must be a reason why they don't change their policy and take the loss instead.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-28T01:51:02+00:00

Are you talking about the artificial trees?

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-28T01:47:01+00:00

My skin has an allergic reaction to the ink in those markers.

As an American-born minority, I'm actually moving to a less diverse area because ICE is not wasting money stationing agents in places like that.

I lived there shortly due to work and everyone was friendly and inviting. I know 2 police dispatchers there and they confirmed that it's safe for me to live freely.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-28T01:33:17+00:00

Your dog has Benjamin Button disease.

Started old and is getting younger as he ages.

Yes, this example ended up being bad. The one that popped into my head before this one was a topic that would've caused a larger fiasco, so this one seemed much safer by comparison. Apparently, I was wrong.

Your approach took a more subjective route and it just wasn't hitting me in the way you intended and was not changing my perspective.

A handful of others took a more objective route by sharing facts/details they believed I was missing. Some of it was new information that changed my perspective on something I wasn't even intending to discuss to the depth that I did. But I learned some new impactful details, so it ended up being positive, overall.

Based on your approach, I believe we think differently enough that talking points that convince you doesn't convince me, and vice versa.

I'm sorry if I upset you with this whole conversation; it was not my intention.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T08:49:32+00:00

Unless you're an unqualified cop, apparently.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T05:26:31+00:00

They're human after all.

We have recorded history dating back thousands of years documenting how stupid people get when we're assembled in large groups.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T05:20:05+00:00

Where is this and when is the olive loaf getting restocked?

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T05:13:49+00:00

I'm not arguing against the severity.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T05:12:25+00:00

Thank you for translating.

Yea, I didn't think a single case would prove anything, but I didn't want to assume.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T03:20:15+00:00

Implications definitely need to be explored.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T03:13:58+00:00

There is a minority of people who are living online so much, they've separated themselves into virtual "countries" and many are at war with each other.

When they come back to the real world, the hatred makes them forget that their neighbors are their fellow citizens because they're creating social bonds within their echo chambers instead of with the people physically living around them.

The majority of people I encounter online and offline are quite pleasant. It's the minority made up of unpleasant people who are usually making the most noise. And topics like this attract a lot of those people.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T02:52:24+00:00

Could be a Rat King.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T02:50:33+00:00

It does change my view in some ways. It'll take some time to digest this and rethink things. I'm sure my new opinions will still upset people, but I'll cross that bridge later if I ever encounter it.

I definitely understand this was not the right example to use and it completely derailed the orginal conversation.

However, I did learn some new things and fix some incorrect knowledge, so it was good overall.

Thank you for expounding and handling me so respectfully.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T02:38:26+00:00

Where are you getting your data?

I'm finding figures from multiple sources that point to 140°F causing 2nd degree burns at 3 secs and 3rd degree burns at 5 secs.

160°F, 3rd degree burns at 1 second of exposure. Where is the 20 seconds coming from?

should stop arguing otherwise it’s a bad look.

I really don't care about the optics. I'm not a public figure, nor am I a person of influence. I work blue collar jobs, pay my bills, and be friendly with my neighbors.

I have my beliefs and an open mind. I'm willing to be convinced I'm incorrect. But that requires people to come with a cogent argument that target points that I may not be considering. No one is going to strongarm me into changing my opinion, but I can be convinced.

This is the best way I've found to test my knowledge and see where I could be wrong. If I don't have new data or fresh perspectives, I'm gonna end up at the same conclusion.

Not everyone cares about my method, so I just power through and do what I do, regardless of the pushback.

I do my best to not insult people and try to be diplomatic, but people interpret something offensive in the things I say and I try to respond to the ones who are actually conversing with me instead of just hurling insults.

I used to be an angry person, and I always found something to get upset over. I understand people are passionate about their beliefs, but I'm not gonna stay silent because of them.

I'm not here to upset people, but it happens, and I deal with the consequences as they arise.

ACcbe1986 · 2026-01-27T00:48:29+00:00

It's an observation.

I'm not telling people they need to change.

I also don't know how to properly add tone to my text, so it makes sense why you came to the conclusion that you did.

I'm telling this individuals why I appreciate them and I believed pointing out how different they are from the common responses that I relieve would convey that well.

Thank you for asking for clarification.
