“If you think the point in life is to be happy and live long I can see how you’d be confused”
Not sure where I heard it but I think of it often.
I’m a father and I think of god the same way I think of being a parent. I want my kids to learn things and I want them to return home and tell me about it.

I saw a post in atheism mostly about this. I decided not to post. I don’t believe in forcing my views on other people who clearly didn’t ask for them.

Elephants evolved to be stealthy to not spook the plants. I remember just yesterday I went to pick an orange but stepped on a twig… The entire orchard bolted. Huge pain in the ass. The farmer was pissed.
Btw I’m being silly not insulting your comment.

Slow and steady winning the race. I’ve heard that’s why we are fascinated by zombie movies. Like us they use persistence and numbers to attack their prey.
- Comment on I have a shamefully dark question for firefighters. I'm sorry but I'm just too curious to not ask... It's about the smell and how that affects life. 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry. I can’t offer much but I can give something small. I have suffered from depression a few times in my life and landed on fire to mask it as a protest for whatever.
I didn’t do it obviously it was a very long time ago. It actually didn’t enter my mind at all when asking this question until I read this comment and remembered my past.
If I ever get that bad again, and I hope I don’t, I promise not to use fire.
Not much but it’s something.

Yeah I grew up on a farm and smelled some pretty bad stuff but it was just a bad smell. If I knew it was human that would be harder even if it smelled mostly the same. It would be psychologically worse.
I know burying a dog that got hit by a car and took a few days to find was worse than finding a missing cow in the same state. I loved the dog, I liked the cows but that dog was my dog. It was worse smell psychologically even tho the cow is bigger and was probably logically more smelly.

And you see I’m quick to accept when I’m wrong.
Plus although I do assume probably too quickly Im quick to ask questions from people who know more.
This I think helps me more than simply not making connections could

That’s good to know. I told another commenter I’m glad to be wrong. I just assumed it would smell like pork because of all the ways pig is used to test things as replacement for human flesh. Being close here doesn’t mean it’s close there. I just assumed and I’m relieved that’s not something people actually have to deal with.
Still obviously a horrible and traumatic thing to deal with but at least it doesn’t ruin Nana’s famous pulled pork. Which is so small and silly compared to dealing with the horrors of a tragedy but… To use a silly example “it sucks I got fired but it would’ve been slightly worse if I got fired and hit my shin on the table while I was being escorted out of the building”. Basically I’m not implying “well then it’s not so bad” just…One small thing I’m glad isn’t part of the problem.

That is a great answer thank you. That was the most horrific part of the question. I’ve never smelled it obviously but I know pirates called it long pork. I’ve heard it described as tasting like pork but only from people who probably were not cannibals. I don’t talk to a lot of cannibals… That I’m aware of anyway. So I only have what I read here and there in articles. I just assumed if humans tasted like pork then we smell like pork.
So I was talking about smells with a friend “bathrooms and air freshener if you’re curious” and my ADHD brain just linked a bunch of useless trivia.
I’m glad to know humans just smell different. It’s probably biological maybe even evolution. Makes sense because in the cave man days anyone who wasn’t disgusted by another dead human enough to run… Probably didn’t survive as long as those that thought “this is something I want to immediately get away from.”

That’s the thing tho nasty and gross I could deal with. I’m no hero like emergency services. I grew up on a farm, raised and processed animals here and there. Stumbled apon missing animals that were long past a pleasant smell. I had a grandmother that was a hoarder, I raised 4 kids…
I’m the one in my family that does the “ewww I just can’t… Please I can’t even talking about it *dry heaves”
My family jokes that I would be the guy in the movie doing an autopsy with his sandwich sitting on the chest of the body.
Now none of that was even close to the mental trauma doctors, police, firefighters face. I also know human decomposition is described as much worse. Id also assume smelling the stuff I’ve smelled from animals probably also hits mentally harder coming from a human. I’m not at all saying “meh I’ve smelled it all”
The point I’m making is terrible smells are bad but seeing something awful and smelling a steak or something good? That seems worse. Like if I drained an abscess in an animal and smelled sugar cookies… I wouldn’t be able to eat sugar cookies anymore. I assume. I don’t really know which is why I’m asking.
But I did read you said a person who died by fire doesn’t smell like steak or food? That’s good to hear. Thats what I was unsettled but curious about.

- Comment on Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming? 2 months ago:
It is deeper than “never a loser”
I’ve always tried to admit I was wrong as soon as I realized it. Admitting your wrong gets you massive amounts of respect in life. Honestly I’d say admitting a mistake gets you more respect than actually being right in the first place.
It might be a little late in the game for trump to get “more respect” than never going with trump at all… I’m just speaking in general. People respond very very well to “I messed up, I know that now”

- Comment on Biden will leave office as the 'worst president' in modern memory 5 months ago:
I think my short joke didn’t adequately explain things properly.
I’m nearly 40. I’ve voted exactly twice. Both times I voted against Trump.
I’ve never liked a single politician. I can’t think of a single one I feel did more good then harm. Other than exactly 2 times I never looked at an election and thought “one candidate is ‘lesser evil’ enough to matter. Different enough for me to take time out of my busy day to actually make a choice.” I’ve only seen 2 elections that made me think “if I don’t vote my life would be impacted more than taking a day off work”
I wouldn’t storm the capital for Biden. I wouldn’t do shit for Biden. I would and did put effort into “not trump”
I’m not going to storm the capital for “not trump” any time soon but depending on how things go later… It’s still too early to say for sure.
