Election.
Posted 10 months agoI'm not sure why people are so livid about other people exercising the same right to vote as they did.
Everyone in this nation has the right to vote. It is not up to us to tell others how to vote and it is not up to us to judge them because of how they did.
A lot of people are angry with other people because Trump won the election.
A lot of people would be angry with other people if Harris had won.
What people aren't doing is taking the time to understand why someone might have voted the way they did.
If people are so blind by their own desire to be always right that they cannot take the time to sit down and discuss rationally with someone who voted in a way that they would prefer they had not, then the least people can do is quit labeling them this or that without understanding why they did what they did.
People need to take a step back from the election and realize that like it or not it's over.
It's time to get on with the next day.

Dreams.
Posted 10 months agoAm I the only one who finds it weird to have dreams?
I'm referring to the ones that happen when you fall asleep. The ones you have no control over.
Last night I had 3 completely different dreams. I had one, woke up, fell asleep and had another. Then I did that all over again.
The first dream I had I was at Lowes and got mugged. I knew it was coming, I even saw the guy who did it but couldn't stop it.
It's weird since I have never been mugged IRL.
The second dream I had I was working at a previous job and due to circumstances that are baffling I wound up going from the equivalent of a cashier to being in charge of the facility in a matter of minutes.
I never desired to be in charge at that job and I never was more than a cashier there. Not to mention the fact I haven't worked there or even seen that place in almost a decade. Yet there it was, in my dream. Right out of the blue.
The final dream was at my current employer. Why my mind would make me dream about work when I get to spend so much time there every day I will never understand. It wasn't even a dream that made sense. What was in my dream is physically impossible where I work.
I guess I should lay off the Taco Pizza before I go to bed.

Humanity
Posted 5 years agoAm I the only one who thinks it's strange that humans are all lumped together as humans?
We don't all act the same. We don't all think the same. We certainly don't all behave the same.
Once upon a time people used to use such words like "Hello" and "Hi" to greet someone.
Today while working my co-workers choose to greet each other by using profanities.
They did it in front of a room full of people and no one so much as raised an eyebrow. It happens so much that it is apparently the new accepted form of greeting.
Which brings up another point.
Rules.
Oh sure the company I work for, just like every other company, have them. Seriously, how often are they equally enforced? If one person does something the rules are ignored. If another put in the same situation did the exact same thing suddenly it's a problem because then the rules are enforced.
If I had greeted one of my co-workers like they choose to greet each other I'm quite certain I would have been pulled into the plant managers office for a very unpleasant meeting at which point I would have been reminded about their rules regarding the use of profane language.
It's enough to make me wonder if Humans really are the most intelligent species on Earth. There are animals that can be trained to do things in less time than what it takes to teach my co-workers that they have to show up from their breaks on time.
There are animals that discipline their young. Clearly there are rules the young were supposed to follow and they were corrected for not following them. It's one step further than my employer took when given the chance.
There are things animals will not eat. They know they're not food. Humans, on the other hand, are stupid enough to put things like Tide-pods in their mouths and wonder why it's a problem.
After having my shift to consider things I did find one sole area where humans and animals are equal in their stupidity.
Next time you're on the road look at all the dead animals on the side of the road. Those animals crossed the road in front of traffic and got hit.
Humans aren't smart enough to pull their cars out into traffic after having looked to see if it was safe to do so. Instead they just assume you'll slow down and protect them from their own stupidity no matter how close you are to them when they choose to pull out.
Beyond that sole area I haven't found where animals are the lesser species on Earth. For better or worse animals have rules and follow them. Humans can't make that claim.
