There’s only twelve lemmy users anyway.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

There was a dude on reddit that bigot watch kept nailing because of that.

Dude used the same patterns and words, thinking that switching user names would matter.

But, what if I use my real name and just lie all the time?

You can’t help others if you don’t take care of yourself.

So, you can’t take care of others’ shit if you don’t take care of your own shit first.

Which is a valuable lesson I learned while wiping asses for a living while having IBS. It just happens to apply here as well

Ngl, there’s still plenty of assholes in the current crop of under 30s and under 20s.

But, yeah, there’s a lot more of this kind of acceptance and decency. It’s a beautiful thing to see. I got to see a similar wave of change back in the nineties with gay people, men in specific, where the millennials were essentially defaulting to acceptance or outright active support. For my generation, we had a longer road to divest ourselves of outdated thinking, so watching acceptance spread was a different experience than watching the next generation just grow up without as much baggage.

Again, no generation has ever, or will ever, be a monolith of bottled belief. But it does seem like the curve of decency on average is looking really damn good right now.

Have you heard the original Dolly Parton version of I will always love you? She’s got a less forceful voice in general, and her version was a much gentler delivery on top of that.

Not saying anything about you liking or not liking the song, just curious if it’s Whitney that’s the problem, the arrangement, or the song itself.

They said it better than I can

But I also get where you’re coming from; the prompt itself is weak and leaves several assumptions out that would make better answers possible from an llm.

One of these days I’m going ti watch the entire existing seasons. I’ve only caught some here and there, so this was totally new for me :)

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.

Which wave?

Or are you just talking in the general sense?

I ask because I’ve heard the term applied specifically to the Chinese workers on the railroads in the late 1800s, here in the US, plus another that came between the end of the first World war and some time after the end of the second.

In the specific senses, it’s too far in the past for me to think of it much at all. The more modern wave has essentially integrated and their descendants are just plain old americans for the most part; meaning they hang onto the parts of their ancestral culture to the degree they want, and otherwise may not have any connection in that regard. So it’s more a point of historical interest than something influential on current events. That seems to be the prevailing take I’ve run into with others as well.

More recent immigrants, I don’t have enough experience to have formed an overall take. My area doesn’t run high to Chinese immigrants. We get more folks from the Americas and African nations. But I haven’t had any standout bad encounters, nor have I seen any patterns that would make it seem like a bad thing.

Can’t lie, racism against asian folks in general is present here. It isn’t as prevalent as that against Latinos, Africans or African-Americans, but it’s there. Afaik, nobody thinks of it as an overarching “thing” at all. Folks here tend to look at immigration on a smaller scale than a diaspora. If there isn’t a significant inrush of a given group, nobody really notices.

OP’s mom

It’s lovely when someone shows their inability to stop and think by making blatantly mindless comments.

It’s lovely because it’s absolutely hilarious.

I think you’ll find that the gripe is more about it being implemented badly, and in a way that’s harmful on multiple levels rather than the technology itself.

The rag

I dunno, but the majority of interactions I’ve had with visiting, or immigrated, latin Americans has been great. I know that doesn’t necessarily indicate anything other than me maybe having good luck, but it has left me with a default stance of friendliness and welcome for folks from the rest of the continent/s.

In terms of exposure, yeah, most of my interactions have been with Mexicans. We have a really big Mexican population in the area.

But we also have sizable contingents of Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Guatemalans, and a smattering of Brazilians, with a few from most of the other south American countries. Never met a Peruvian though. One of my best friends is a second generation Nicaraguan immigrant, and you’ll never meet a better guy.

Now, in terms of deep exposure to the cultures of central and south Americas, it’s mainly Nicaraguan for me, plus Mexican for the North American contingent. I really love the experiences I’ve had with my friend’s family, so definitely a fan of Nicaraguan food and at least their iteration of the traditions.

I also really appreciate how community driven the Mexicans in my neighborhood are. There’s almost always a gathering of some kind in a given week, and they’re all really open to neighbors dropping in and chilling. Great food, great music, and they don’t make fun of badly mangled Spanish. My neighbors next door were having a small get together today, so there was music going while I was in the yard working, and it was really nice. A mix of tejano, norteño, and mariachi. I dunno what they were cooking, but it smelled amazing at least.

Are there some friction points? Yeah, of course. A lot of the machismo stuff can get old fast. There’s also a fairly conservative religious skew that can be difficult to navigate, what with me being a pretty damn staunch lgbtq+ rights proponent. But even there, I’ve not run into hatred often, more the kind of cultural prejudice that’s also present in us culture to begin with.

But I can say this much for sure. If the cultures and people that still live south of the us match what I’ve experienced here, then I consider those folks good neighbors too.

You can get pellets and ball ammo in other materials. Might have to special order them, not sure how available they are over there, but they do make them. I have steel ammo for my air pistol, it’s my back yard pleasure shooting gun, so lead isn’t acceptable to me.

Sorry for this, but…

sigh unzips

My favorite fast food chain is burger king. There’s just something about the cooking process of that chain broiler that works for me.

Least favorite is McDonald’s. Sorry, but the fucking salt levels make my mouth dry out.
