I dunno, back in my younger days camping with my family I was always up in the smoke and my clothes were fine. Had long hair, and it was never a bad smell. As I got older and did have a beard, I can't recall it ever smelling unpleasant the next day, and I'm known for catching even faint smells after years of taking care of patients where faint smells can be a sign of something important.

Maybe it depends on the wood? I know a pure deadfall fire can be stronger smelling, and you can get some strange odors indeed if you buy firewood that's been sitting, though I can't think of any that stank.

I tend to favor evaluations in this community staying away from the original topic. This is one of those cases where it's impossible to address without doing so.

I don't think any reasonable person could read the comments presented and come out with the same take on their content. It was the opposite of apologia, and doesn't get close enough to zionism to even shoot it in the ass, much less be confused with it.

As such, it would be at least mild PTB with comment removals only. But a ban under that reasoning? No way. Full PTB, and I would even argue that it's severe enough that the mod in question may need to be removed from their position. I don't think I've ever actually said that here before, about anyone. Thought it a couple of times, but never felt something met my inner threshold that I should say it.

This one? I'm not sure why the mod in question reached the conclusion they did, and I'm trying to wrap my head around it. I just can't see it being for any acceptable reason. Even if it was a bad day and a misinterpretation, that's still time to take a step away from moderation, even if temporary. That's how severe of an overreaction and outright fabrication of cause this one is.

I normally hate the "touch grass" thing because it's turned into a horrible thing. But that was the best use of it I've seen in years lol.

Here and there, yeah.

Man I fuck wit fire. Well, used to; my old, crippled ass can't fuck wit much any more.

Point is that being the fire tender isn't exactly a no skill job, and it comes with some serious benefits.

You gotta have at least a basic understanding of how fire works if you want to keep it going, and learn how to keep it controlled. That's why fucks-wit-fire is such a coveted, but demanding, position. See, you gotta keep an eyeball on it. Stacking in fresh fuel in the right way. Keeping adequate air flow. Moving unburned fuel into the center. It's a dance.

And for that effort, you not only get the delightful scent of wood smoke in your beard, and the glow of warmth across your flesh, you get to see the ever shifting beauty of the fire and the embers. A constant flux of colors and lights that seems alive. I'd hypnotic, meditative, and can be a spiritual experience if one leans that way.

Ash, drifting on breeze settles into your hair as sleep looms and you bank the fire, setting things up for the chilly morning to come, you look down at your friend glowing beneath ashes that only reluctantly settle in for the night.

You go to your rest warm, fulfilled, and at peace.

That's a misleading description of what bees do.

That being said, if we could actually make honey that way, id be making my own and be happy with it
