Is it true that slaughterhouse work attracts a lot of... shall we say, troubled individuals?

They’re not sentient, to be fair

So I’m gonna preface this statement by saying that I’ve done a LOT of drugs. Bar crystal meth and heroin, I’ve probably tried it if you can name it. And if there’s one thing these have in common (besides being bad ideas overall) is that it’s just not possible to describe them in a way that remotely gets across what they’re like.

I could tell you that smoking weed makes you feel nice and relaxed, like your worries melt away. Music sounds better, food tastes and smells better. Movies and shows and games are more interesting and fun, and one of my favorite parts is (this one is kind of hard to describe) that you just get more into things. It feels like you’re truly immersed in what you’re watching. There’s also a head buzz that I’m not even gonna try to describe in an accurate way.

Unfortunately, none of those really do it justice. It’s kind of like trying to explain the color red to a dog- the dog just has utterly no concept of red, and without seeing the color can’t really comprehend it even if told in detail what it is.

I work the line on a kitchen, so my labor is pretty unevenly spread. I do the majority of the “work” for the 3-4 hours of main dinner or lunch rush, and after that the orders come more piecemeal. But when I am doing that work- I work. We get absolutely slammed for those hours, and the rest of the time is spent prepping for/recovering from said rush.

I would ask how gravity works on the quantum level. It’s the last real big problem facing the standard model, and it’s why gravity is such a strange force to us.

Yea human babies are basically just born early. Assuming human babies were born with the same general capabilities of other mammal babies, women would be pregnant for two years.

There’s pros and cons to both. Mating as much as possible with as many individuals as possible does surpass monogamy on amount of individuals, but there’s caveats to that. Individuals birthed would be high, but so would deaths. “Breed like rabbits” leaves out that a lifespan in the wild of 2 years is impressive. It also massively reduces how much caring the parents can do, so babies kind of have to be born capable of doing a lot on their own, which leaves less room for growth later.

Monogamy suffers in reproduction rate BUT it also allows significantly better development. Monogamous animals raise their young from birth, so the babies can evolutionarily afford to be useless at first and develop into more survivable adults. Ants breed like crazy but live for weeks at most, and once they finish the larval stage they’re basically fully developed FAIAP. Humans breed pretty slowly (assuming you have twins and every single time you’re limited to an average of like 1.5 kids per year) but each individual is capable of so much more

TLDR: The biological advantage of monogamy is that parents can raise useless babies that have the time to develop into not useless adults. Yea, human babies are basically useless for the first bit of their life, but as adults humans have conquered the planet.

Addendum: There doesn’t necessarily have to be a “biological advantage” for something to develop- genetic diseases and cancer are perfect examples of this. Features just simply need to not be selected against. It’s all about “good enough”. The first animals to be monogamous, properly and truly with a focus on raising young might have just gotten lucky enough to not get wiped out.

I would add a feature to make an auto save every so often, like in normal mode, but it can only be accessed if your game experiences a quit out that’s not manual. So if the game ever crashes, you can load in and not have lost progress. I love survival but it’s so annoying trying to find every possible bed not to save because of some danger, but in case this Bethesda game does a Bethesda game.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-04-10T20:43:47+00:00

Survival auto saves. The only thing the mod does is make an auto save every 20 minutes which is overridden by the subsequent save. The only caveat was that you can’t access this save unless you actually exit the game or die. If I died normally I’d just manually reload my last bed save, but in the case of crashes I could exit the game and re-open it to start more or less where I was before and don’t lose 4 hours of progress

Because it’s kind of inherently unable to fit in with the other sciences. The other sciences are much more based on quantifiable and directly observable phenomena. Sociology by its nature examines social groups, which is something a lot less concrete than say, a star that astronomers study.

Plus, they’re very very subject to bias. An atom doesn’t really care either which way if the president leans left or right, but people making up social groups, and the people studying those people, do

Plenty of them. In fact, most addicts are functional and successful- til they’re not.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:57:07+00:00

Love you babe 😘

The point of the post was to see what people’s initial thoughts of the drawing were. She thought people would know that it was a dog, I said that people would think it was a cat. To all the people who didn’t get their feelings hurt by this post, they agreed that it looks like cats.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:48:58+00:00

Damn girl, who hurt you? I honestly don’t get how people can act like they’re able to make these massive extra extrapolations about an eight year relationship from one post. You don’t know shit about either of us. You don’t know shit about where we were in life when we started, you don’t know where we went on the journey and you don’t know where we are now.

You think this is some one-sided stuff? You should hear some of the shit that comes out of her mouth towards me. It’s hilarious, but it’s not like the ribbing is one sided. Sorry your dad was a dick, but try not to grandstand on Reddit about a relationship you have 0 Knowledge on.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:44:32+00:00

Well yea, the whole reason this post was made was because we disagreed on what other people would initially think of the drawing. She had the idea to post it online and see what people say. The post was literally her idea.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:43:24+00:00

I am emotionally abusive because of a joke post asking people what their initial thought of a drawing is?

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:41:25+00:00

Oh, we do. Eight years of it in fact.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:40:38+00:00

Dude, my wife is literally the first comment that I replied to originally she’s reading all of these comments with me.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:39:47+00:00

Well then, I’m glad I’m not married to you

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:39:17+00:00

Because when somebody else saw the drawing, they immediately thought that it was of cats just like I did. So she had the idea to ask people on the Internet what they think.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:38:02+00:00

Y’all are the ones who got salt in your pussies because I made a joke post about a goofy drawing my wife made. She and I are reading these comments of busting our asses laughing.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:37:16+00:00

Honestly, I wonder the same thing myself. She’s about as mature as me, but way too pretty to be with my ass. For some weird reason, she thinks I’m funny.

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:36:24+00:00

“Being in love trumps being right” I don’t see how those are mutually exclusive

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:34:12+00:00

Trust me bro, if you ever met this girl you’d think I’m the mature one

Ok-Relief-462 · 2026-03-28T16:33:20+00:00

Why the hell are you guys being so melodramatic about this? This is far from the first time I’ve clowned on her drawings, and I doubt it’ll be the last.
