  • Oh damn, looks like I’m about to stick my foot in it.

    First, it’s stupid that this is a criminal matter. If home boy is allowed to shoot a deer, cut it up, eat it, and make shoes out of it, who gives a flying fuck if he fucks the body first? Yeah, it’s gross, but does it really need to come to jail time? It’s a fucking waste of resources. Nobody fucking a dead animal is going to be rehabilitated by jail, period. Ain’t happening.

    With that out of the way, lemme step into the way back machine.

    Now, there used to be dark corners of reddit, and there have always been dark corners of the internet.

    So, for anyone that never took a shitty energizer flashlight and went poking into those dark corners looking for entertainment and/or education, I am the proud bearer of bad news.

    This ain’t a one-off event. People fucking their dead prey is sooooo not a new thing. While it’s fair to call it rare, it’s not exactly a 1 in a billion thing either.

    On reddit, there were multiple people willing to admit to this behavior, and back in the early days of the internet past the aol era, there were a ton of chat rooms where the ugly side of humanity was there for the viewing. If one is able to stay relaxed and non judgemental in their responses (no matter what’s going on in your head), people will open up about anything.

    When it’s something this deviant (and I mean it in the literal sense, not as an insult), you might be amazed how many people want to share their darkness.

    So I’ve talked to people for whom this is a fantasy, as well as those that have done it.

    Most of them, and they were all men except one, talked about the adrenaline rush of hunting leading to heightened arousal. In that sense, it’s really the same underlying motivation as people fucking after their team wins the Superbowl, or after their own sport victory (and lemme tell you that arousal after contact sports or martial arts training is a very potent thing and can lead to much fun).

    It’s only the detail of it that’s deviant, not the underlying mechanisms. It’s wanting to fuck an animal, and wanting to fuck something dead that’s unusual, not the wanting to fuck after a big spike of emotions and chemicals. Couples that hunt together are a perfect example, because there is plenty of fucking in camp when people succeed in their hunt. Hell, doesn’t even have to be a hunt. Fishing camps can be a fuckfest. Birders cam get frisky when they find something rare to point their binoculars at.

    But, a lone hunter feeling that arousal on doe days? Yeah, I’m betting it happens way more than even what I’m aware of. I know there’s guys that have shoved their things into bucks to begin with, so a doe with an actual vagina? Anyone without a very tough inhibition filter that also isn’t bothered by the idea to begin with is a deer fucker waiting to happen.

    I’m not saying I approve of it. I’m not even saying that it isn’t a sign of some serious issues. I’m just saying that humans like to fuck. And there’s a very primitive part of us that doesn’t really care what. The barriers to fucking things other than sexually mature humans are largely learned, not inherent in our brains.

    You ever hear the saying that every mouth feels the same in the dark? In terms of raw sensation, our most primitive segments involved with arousal and orgasm have zero concern about what’s providing the stimulus, only that it’s there. There’s a reason that victims of sexual assault can not only experience physical arousal no matter how much they hate what’s happening, but can be forced to orgasm. It isn’t a purely voluntary process.

    So, if someone is already willing to ignore social mores and standard ethics or morals, the step from being willing to fuck some random animal to fucking a dead one isn’t a big leap.

    And those folks that were willing to talk about their urges to fuck their prey? They weren’t usually freaks in general. They held down jobs, had families, had friends, they just got caught up in the rush of it. It’s like those folks that will escalate risk taking to the point of self destruction just for a buzz from it. Yeah, there were truly antisocial people doing it, but they weren’t the majority.

    Now, this guy? Dude very likely could benefit from extensive therapy. Might even be the sort to let his inner self switch from animals to human bodies. No clue, but I still don’t think jail is a useful solution to the problem he poses. Mandatory treatment? Yeah, maybe, and that has to go through criminal proceedings, but it’s really closer to something like alcoholism in the way it needs to be sentenced.



  • The key is figuring out when to use assertiveness vs aggressiveness vs gentleness. And, to learn how to do the first two while being respectful and the third while still insisting on at least basic respect.

    It ain’t fucking easy. But it is true that assertiveness shifts behavior, as does aggression. People respond to both, and often in ways that seem the same on the surface. But aggression only results in hidden ill feelings, so it’s not usually good to use it if you aren’t fully sure it’s the right stance to take.

    Learning that judgement is not a fun experience.

    Kinda depends on what features in sync made you like it.

    Overall, boost, connect, thunder and summit each get close to parity, but only close. But, you could say that in reverse, (that sync only gets close to parity with any of them) it isn’t a slight against any of them.

    Eternity is another one that I’ve had good use of, but development on that seems to be stopped as well, so I dunno if that’s a useful option.

    Past those, you get less similarity in ux and ui than would make sense to compare. Like, the apps that mimic voyager (or whatever the popular iOS reddit app was called), things are laid out so different that if you used sync as a primary, you aren’t likely to enjoy that ui.

    On a phone, I kinda favor connect over sync, despite it looking very unlike it compared to boost or eternity. But on a tablet, nothing else does double columns in portrait worth a damn for me, and aren’t great in landscape either. But boost and eternity come the closest to the visual ease sync has.

    The sync visual that’s sync

    I was going to include screen shots of the ones I have on this tablet, but uploads shit the bed and are being weird after that one. So no promises that I can do them all

    boost boost

    eternity eternity

    connect connect

    interstellar and interstellar since it does piefed better than anything else I’ve tried, and still does lemmy just fine.

    Decided to install thunder and summit long enough to give a visual

    thunder thunder

    summit annnd summit

    As you can tell, everyone has a slightly different approach to the UI. But they’re even more variable in what settings are available, little niceties, etc. Theming is all over the place from a bare bones light/dark/oled to the relative broad visual options of boost and sync. None of them are bad at all. They’re reliable, work even on older devices without bogging them down, and are all easy enough to get going with.




  • One problem

    Batteries.

    I’ve used old devices as many things: security cameras, a form of intercom, digital picture frames, etc. The real problem is that the batteries eventually go bad, and become dangerous.

    For the few devices that have realistically replaceable batteries, that’s no big deal, but how many of those are left now?

    No thanks to the potential fire, I’ll pass. The few devices I have left that I can swap batteries out are becoming harder to find new batteries for as well, so that’s an issue beyond their anemic hardware (I’m talking really old tablets at this point)




  • Ngl, that would likely be me.

    Not just because I like chickens, though that’s a factor.

    In my neighborhood, if you go the posted speed limit going one direction in the section that my house is on, you’d be going slow enough to be able to correct and not hit an animal. Going the other direction, as long as you don’t slam the pedal down, it’s the same.

    So anyone hitting any critter with the possible exception of squirrels is 99.9~% likely to be doing something they shouldn’t. I’ve gotten in altercations about it before because we have not just a lot of pets in the area, but kids. So some fucking moron is going to hear about out when they’re showing exactly how fucking stupid they are.

    But, I also happen to kinda know all the neighborhood chickens. Not necessarily on a first name, come her for petting basis, but I know which birds live where. Since I also have my own, and would gladly curb stomp any motherfucker that fucked with them, I would likely at least lay hands on a motherfucker for killing any of the neighborhood birds by being a moron. I’m old, but my tolerance for fuckery like that keeps getting lower as I age.

    Accidents do happen, but some jackass trying to be all badass by speeding in a residential area can fuck right off and die. And yes, I’m talking about you, Robert, you absolute prat. Jackass. Done told you once. Fuckwit.

    Anyway, yeah, chances are high the lady was justified as long as the dude is still alive
