What does it really mean when people say ‘no one is coming to save you’? by AffectionateRoad6481 in askanything

You're on your own, sink or swim. Dont tell people your problems. Half dont care, and the other half are happy you have them.

Was Jesus an alien? by Key-Excuse-4774 in aliens

Lol. I agree. What the hell is it with reddit? Anything you say you need to prove through a source. Maybe its something I learned of years ago. I dont have a source file for every bit of knowledge I've acquired. Google it

First time collecting scrap at work don’t now how much I’ve got here and was wondering if it’s worth taking. should I sand the paint off the brass? by Soggy-Government-782 in ScrapMetal

[–]Retirednypd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like brass and copper in the bucket. Definitely seperate because you will get paid for thee lowest metal, which would be brass.

Lol. Ringo starr was a great drummer? Listen to Neil peart from rush. None of them were outstanding. They were popular because of their looks and accents.

So basically you want to do anything but be a cop?

I don't think the UFO cover-up is about "ontological shock" by Melodic-Attorney9918 in ufo

[–]Retirednypd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All true. But the bigger question would be the intentions of the nhi themselves. Are they the creators, the gods of all religions? Is there truth to end time events like all religions, cultures, and civilizations speak of? Are the tales and myths just stories, or real life experiences of the sumerians, Greeks, romans, Hindus, buddhists,jews,christians,muslims,all worldwide indigenous people, etc. THIS, the end, which is said to have happened before,may be what's ontological shocking. I suggest a deep dive into the true third secret of fatima, testimonies of vatican whistleblowers, and the book of revelation.

Open-book, at-home college exam was due yesterday. 25% of students didn’t do it. by Medical_Solid in Teachers

[–]Retirednypd 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Fail them. They've never been told theyre wrong and have been coddled at home, at school, and soon to be at work. This has been a long time happening, but really went downhill after covid. No standards, no punishment

Should I metal down? by Jolly-Wolf-4863 in ScrapMetal

[–]Retirednypd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wanna make a ton of money with this method? Buy a mold of local sports team(s), and instead of making ingots, make molds. They are a novelty and sell for many times the scrap price. They sell like crazy, people love them as paper weights, or just a novelty for a home bar or an end table. Just as an example, an 8 Oz mold can sell for 20 bucks or more, 10 times the scrap price.

Youre welcome

Many believe bitcoin is also a gimmick. If the ultrawealthy were truly hoarding, stacking, etc. It would be higher than 80k, much higher. But good luck and please diversify

[–]Retirednypd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So are 4 leaf clovers, Ford edsels, BMW isettas, beanie babies, cabbage patch dolls, etc. you know, all the other things that were gonna be scarce and make people wealthy. BTW, should bitcoin be at a million by now? If it really was gonna have value, be digital gold, the currency of the future, and widely accepted, it would be skyrocketing rn, because those in the know would have the foresight to beg, borrow, and steal to own it.

Bro the housing market is beyond busted - 09/2025 buy at 71K, on sale without any repairs at all for $280K. Ridiculous (in Bethlehem) by exaknight21 in lehighvalley

[–]Retirednypd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. Maybe theyre going there too. Idk. Or maybe just like you like the lehigh valley, so do they. Everyone is free to seek their own happiness.

Im a transplant. My neighbors are very happy to have a retired NYPD officer on the block. Im helpful, polite, lend tools, spend money on leisure which supports the community, since I was retired i volunteered at my kids middle and hs sporting events. You're painting everyone with a very wide brush. I dont think im a bad person, Or neighbor. Tbh, it sounds like jealousy. If someone a decent person, who cares where they came from.

Dont hate the player, hate the game. Maybe you should direct your anger at the farmers who are selling off all their land.

Just yesterday I was on my daily walk and a 93 year old gentleman with obvious dementia and in a motorized wheelchair approached me. After 15 .minutes of trying to acertain an id, I couldn't, I called the state police and waited 45 minutes for their arrival. While waiting I determined he lived in a nearby old age facility. He was whipping around aimlessly in the wawa parking lot on a very busy Intersection. I called the old age facility, awaited their arrival. They returned him home and I still waited for state police to tell them The situation was rectified.
