There was a GBS superstar who used to have annual threads about him hunting wild boars in a state where they are an invasive pest. He used cameras mounted on drones to track them down and then popped them with high powered rifles if I recall correctly.

i swear he also speared one at some point but maybe the mythology has evolved in what passes for my brain

but yeah, there are a SHITLOAD of feral hogs in some states and they're a SERIOUS agricultural problem (and cause a nonzero number of ded humans, between their aggression and the problems they present if struck by a car at speed)

There was one in which he hunted pigs through a rice paddy in Texas with nothing but a spear. He drowned one by pushing its head underwater with his boot and speared a couple. Now, feral boars will kill a man by goring them to death, so this was a legitimately insane thing to do. Yet he did it anyway.

The pigs in Texas are extreme nuisances. They destroy basically everything and breed out of control because they have no natural predators. Shooting them as they run from the back of a pickup truck with a shotgun or high powered rifle is one of the real joys of being in Texas.

Edit: FERAL, four legged pigs please.

He killed so many in one outing that he spelled "oink" with their corpses before donating them to a butcher who turned them into like 800 pounds of sausage

Good thread, but I disagree with this tweet in particular,

https://twitter.com/drvox/status/1143621565025640448

Decency may not win out—I'd argue it's already lost once violence begins—but accepting the idea that reactionaries are fated to prevail in any violent conflict feels too much like buying into their delusions of machismo. They might have more guns, but don't need more, you only need enough. As for scruples, I think a lot of people severely underestimate how dirty leftists are willing to get if it comes down to it.

They don't have a super-majority, though, and if they did they'd have a quorum. The cut-off for a quorum is 40 members (out of the 60 member house) and Democrats have 38.

E: Nope, I'm wrong. "Super-majority" is defined as 36 (60%) for for the Oregon House, but seems like a pretty lovely definition if it doesn't get you a quorum.

This is seriously an important thing - for anyone who can - to do. We even have a thread for it in Ask/Tell: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3785900&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1
.
Of course fostering is a huge responsibility and a lot of work, and emotionally draining, and etc., but the system absolutely needs more loving homes.

Having said all that, I don't know how foster placement works for refugee children or whether there is any crossover with "standard" public and private foster care agencies.
This seems like it might be a good place to start:
https://www.acf.hhs.gov/orr/programs/urm/about

For anyone angry about all the recent news and looking for a tangible, very real way to make a significant difference in society - become a foster parent. If you have been flailing around these past few days (weeks, months...) wondering just what you can do to make the world a little better, there are so many things regular everyday people can do to help kids in foster care. There are kids rights activists who help kids who have to appear in court, Big Brother/Big Sister volunteers, foster families, respite families, adoptive placement families, whatever commitment level you are at in your life, there is a kid out there in need of help. Only have weekends? Maybe a random Saturday or something? Volunteer at a local group home to play games with the kids that live there. Take a group of kids to the movies.

There is a very real need for foster families. For people who care to actually step up and provide a support structure for kids in freefall. It's easy to contact a local foster care agency and get the ball rolling. There is such an urgent need for homes all over the country, people just don't want to foster anymore and there is simply nowhere to place kids already in the system. Don't want to deal with toddlers/babies? There are tons of teenage kids in the system just looking for a place to call home.

Sorry to hijack the thread. It seems a lot of people are reaching out for a way to actually make a difference. Exploring a place in the world of foster care might be a good place to start.

I think the last thread he did was where it came out that he drowned one for fun because people rightly pointed out that hunting invasive hogs is perfectly fine and ecologically sound but you are kinda psychopath if you take as much joy as he did in it. I think he recorded it to.

And I think he actually did it for work rather than it being his own fields.

In more "Duncan Hunter is loving awful" news, he was literally in bed with lobbyists

quote:

In the filing, prosecutors noted the “potentially sensitive evidence” being introduced, and said Mr. Hunter was offered a deal in which he would stipulate to the affairs in exchange for the details being excluded from public view, but he refused. Prosecutors said that detailing the affairs was necessary to establish the personal nature of the expenses, given that he also had professional relationships with the women.

“Without this evidence, the jury might be left to believe — wrongly — that Hunter’s ‘meetings’ with these women, and the associated expenditures, were work-related; after all, Hunter had professional connections to each of them,” prosecutors wrote. “The intimate nature of these relationships is, in short, direct proof an essential element of the crimes charged in the indictment, and as such it must be admitted to show Hunter’s knowing illegal expenditures of campaign funds.”
