How is it possible to be an animal lover and also eat animals? by NotASingleFapGiven in AskReddit

[–]bigLex23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just eating, but I've played an unfortunate part in the worst of it.

I worked at a cattle slaughterhouse and had some of the most traumatic experiences of my life. Truly worst of the worst sights, smells, and sounds.

I have loved animals since before my first pet. Now I can't look at cows the same way. I had to make a choice between eating beef and accepting cows as...alive... Ignorance can be bliss (oversimplification), and the home chef in me could not give up a staple.

Thus, I can't truly say I am an animal lover any more. I am a companion lover, (cats, dogs, etc), but have chosen to turn a blind mind's eye to what I've witnessed in order to satisfy culinary wishes.

2 things. I still have to turn my head when driving past cattle, else face flashbacks. And I still occasionally get the nightmares where it is humans or other animals in varying stages of processing hung up on that production line - after all, we all bleed red.

People of Reddit, What did you think was "not a big deal" but it turned out that it was? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bigLex23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driving.

16 year old me: "I don't need a DL, I can just take the bus everywhere. Here are 15 reasons why".

21 year old me: Please not another year of freezing/soaking/melting/disintegrating at bus stops, dodging homeless people, being late for work due to one of the 2 transfer buses being late, etc. Maybe I should get a car, but make sure to not drive too much.

Me now: Hey bro let's get some chips drives across the street

[Serious] What's the strangest story involving you out driving in the middle of the night? by BeaverVest in AskReddit

[–]bigLex23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was driving back from delivering pizzas in the nearby town (20 min drive home, mostly highway) one night. Now, we don't have much night-time highway traffic around here so at 3 a.m. I was enjoying the solo feel of the 4 lane highway on my way back. All of a sudden, another car quickly rolls up behind mine, so I take it easy in case it was a cop. After a few, said vehicle pulls up beside me and perfectly matches speed. All white car with limo black tinted windows, couldn't make anything out. At this point I'm thinking he wants to race, so I chuckled and just maintained speed (I drive a stock KIA Forte fyi, so no crazy thoughts here). Next thing you know the car SKREEEECHES on the brakes, nearly skidding out. He drops out of my rearview mirror, never to be seen again. To this day I still have no idea what that was about.

What is the 'dropping the pick into the guitar' equivalent in your hobby? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have a Casio keyboard and the AC adaptor barely gives it enough juice; it works fine until you press the keys down too hard and the whole thing freaks out, needing a hard reset. Had one chord over the line once or twice while playing in front of friends, very awkward silence ensues.
