You don't have a goatee yet?! Better fix that ASAP!

I'd join the.... Federation.

I altered the deal, pray I don't alter the deal further?

Tl;dr: I highly doubt that's the source of your problems.


Oof, man I'm sorry for your experience and I'm sorry the quality of replies you're getting is so.. Shit.

How do you know you've been inhaling this for so long?

Burning plastic can be bad, in addition to the chemicals "Remotelove" noted, there's a whole bunch of potential organic compounds created in the burning process. Exactly which ones depends on the type of plastic, temperature and how much oxygen is available. At complete combustion you'd basically just get CO2 and O2, but at less than optimal conditions you can get a variety of products (think ash). I'd be mostly worried about any carcinogenic products though, since a significant amount would be PAH's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic_hydrocarbon).

Now, for something you ingest to have a long term effect on your brain, it must (generally) somehow be able to get into your brain and your brain is pretty well protected by the blood-brain-barrier. Hypothetically a non-polar product from the burning plastic could cross over into the brain and mess shit up, but the chances of that are slim. And you'd also need to inhale enough of the smoke, for there to be an effect.

Listen, I'm not saying definitely not, but I'd be very surprised if that was the case here. I highly doubt that you have been breathing in thick, black smoke, so the amount of "brain damaging" molecules you've been breathing in is probably pretty low. Mutagenic or carcinogenic, sure possibly, but I wouldn't worry too much about that either. I imagine you've inhaled way less than if you were smoking a cigarette daily.

I suggest you try to think of other causes, a lot of things can play a part in "feeling more dumber er", like depression, lack of sleep, stress, unhealthy eating, lack of physical exercise etc.

It's a bad bonus if you don't have space for a ping pong table. Speaking from experience, I got a free ping pong table for Christmas once...

Well, hypothetical speaking, if there were two completely absolutely identical jobs, but the one had a ping pong table. I might choose the one without and ask them to get a Foosball table, since I'm no good at ping pong.

Probably Tate or someone similar 🙄

I enjoy Connect, fast and works well!

True that! I have some awesome looking denim pants, that are literally painted with colorful paint. I always get compliments from both men and women when I wear them. I also got them basically for free at the store, since no one were buying them.

But, they're about as comfortable as you would expect denim pants painted with thick paint to be: stiff and scratchy.
