That cracked me up lol

I’m not nonbinary but my son just calls me Michael.

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.

Me too. Unfortunately deep voice also carries. Even my whispers.

This is weirdly person example to illiterate the problem, also I’m not Canadian and I’m not sure why this group keeps showing up on feed. I’ll also add a bonus thing Canadians should expect from companies as your boycott (that I agree with) continues.

So the weirdly personal story. I recently got a new boss who has the military view of “break them down then build them back up”. I explained to him once “that works in the military because they have the resources and specialists to catch the people who don’t respond well to that approach. People like me. I have severe SEVERE ADHD. I can’t take medication for it because it destroys my already low appetite and I die. So I built up pillars on my own. Pillars for emotion regulation, pillars to control impulsive behavior, pillars that allow me to function in this world. It was a lot of work. It took a lot of time. If you come in swinging a wrecking ball blindly, if you break you down… You have no way to rebuild any of that. You don’t have the specialized skills needed to rebuild those pillars. So not only would I be temporarily destroyed and unable to do my job, I’d also have to rebuild myself which isn’t what you wanted”

My point about trump is he clearly is taking the “destroy them rebuild” approach and much like my new boss he is absolutely not capable of rebuilding what he destroys.

Anyway, bonus fact for the boycotts. Keep your eyes out for people adding “Canada” to the name of the company. Example: Great American Buckle Company is a Chinese belt buckle manufacturer. You should expect those kind of things soon.

Edit: and as an American I support these boycotts. The more his stupidity effects rich and powerful, the more companies feel his stupidity, faster he’ll be gone. So thank you. I don’t know the Canadian version of “God bless the USA” but just pretend I ended with that out of respect for you all. I would have if I knew it. Go Canada?

The other day I fell asleep watching YouTube. I woke up to a 2 hour long ad of a religious ted style talk. As I’m grabbing my phone to turn it off it started playing an ad… IN THE AD! ADCEPTION!

That blew my mind. even ads have ads now.

Edit: I even read today that some car company is playing ads when you stop at traffic lights. I know we are talking about paywalls not ads but it’s growing in the same way. Soon the glovebox in your car will be behind a paywall and rolling down the backseat windows requires a premium subscription. Today’s gas level is sponsored by Shell and it’s new micron gas technology. You have one quarter tank left, your built in gps has been rerouted to the nearest shell provider with the new micron technology!

And the thing that bothers me most is it doesn’t even work. It just annoys us. I’m less likely to buy that product now.

I can explain it easily for you… For 14.95 a month.

I can’t help with immigration but your replies moved me. I know how it looks in America right now. I understand you feel your life is in danger and I don’t even disagree.

I just wanted to let you know there are more people on your side than you might realize.

I’m a redneck cowboy. I grew up on a farm in Texas we raised horses. I live in Florida now working at a western wear store and a.dollar branded store.

I wear cowboy boots, I carry a 1911 kimber .45 all day every day hooked into the leather belt I made myself with a big brass belt buckle that says “Marlboro”. A promotional item I got back in the day by trading in my points.

If you saw me walk past you at a grocery store you’d think “there’s another trumpet, there’s another one who wants people like me dead”

My point is that isn’t true. Id gladly give my life to defend your rights and I’d be proud to do it.

My family has been here since the late 1600s. We fought the British, we fought slavers, we fought the Nazis, my grandad even helped eliminate the rabies problem that was going around.

This is my country and I’ll be damned if let anyone tell you it ain’t your country just as much as it is mine. Ill fight to the death to make sure it always is your country too. I can’t be everywhere, but we are everywhere. You might not see people like me when we walk by you. I promise you are there seeing what some folk are trying to do to you and we are very pissed off as well.

My grandad killed the Nazis once. I’ll kill them again if I have to. We are there and we are also worried about your safety. I’m pissed to. If pushing leads to shoveing, well, my friend I am a damn good shot with my gun.

I’m sorry my country, you’re country, has made you feel unwelcomed. I’m ashamed of that.

That’s all I wanted to say.

There are dozens of casualties. DOZENS!!

What would he be if not fascist? The great slumbering old one who will teach us new ways to sin that leads to our destruction? The one who plans to repopulate the word with his children?

What is death to that which can forever lie. Thru countless strange eons death itself may faulter

Paying more than a few cents for coffee Spending more than $3 a day on food

We had to pull my grandfather from the nursing home (God rest him. Left is at 104)

We had to pull him because he kept telling the younger residents “I killed the Nazis once I can kill you again”

Hell of a man. Side note he’s also part of the reason rabies isn’t a big thing in America. He was a chemist for the board of health. Helped to deploy a vaccine that could be put into bait for wild animals to eat.

Another side not: my dad was a trump supporter, my grandad was too old to go vote. My dad used his vote to vote democrat on his behalf . Purely out of respect for my mother’s dad.

Hell of a man.

"I encourage violence "

Not illegal to say that at all.

If you specify a person it’ll get flagged faster. If you mention certain people you might get a visit for the secret service. Still not illegal to say but it’s often treated like it is.

Unfortunately it wouldn’t be fair to call him a fucker now. The only thing he’s fucking these days is a rolled up pillow. It’s disrespectful to the true fuckers of the world. He gets an *
