Rascar Capac posted:The Truman Show Delusion: As someone who had a vaguely similar delusion during some troubled teen years, this was a fascinating read, thank you. I wasn't convinced that the world was watching, but that my friends and teachers were all actors saying and doing things to get me to react in certain ways, driving the narrative of my life. I was constantly second guessing if I was supposed to follow along, or be like Kevin and try to be my own "director". If this hadn't been in the 1980s but now, with cameras and Internet being ubiquitous, I probably would've taken a full Truman Show turn, and that's just a bit unnerving. OR DID YOU POST THIS BECAUSE YOU KNEW I HAD THIS ISSUE 30 YEARS AGO AND IT'S A SIGN THAT WE'RE STILL FOLLOWING THIS STORY ARC

I guess it would gently caress up the guy that has to take the shot though. Maybe have a robot do it? I'd rather a robot take me out clean than being cyanide gassed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I took an anthropology class and the prof said that incest is really one of, if not the only universal human taboo. Anthropology being what it is, and that prof relying heavily on questionable studies from the 60s, I'm not sure how true it is.

It’s pretty true culturally, the exceptions were mostly notable even at the time. If people are raised together they naturally don’t want to do it. Until people got more recently hosed up by stronger outside messaging (porn).

Randaconda posted:Have to be a physician practicing in pathology in Florida, at least. Re incest, there's some research suggesting that it's innate. The Westermarck Effect, still being debated. Children raised in close proximity, even when they are biologically unrelated, often are unwilling to marry in later life. The best example is children in Chinese adoptive marriage, where a girl (usually) is adopted into the boy's family so that the mother can raise her dil-to-be right. A lot of those marriages wind up unconsummated.

It seems to be a social mammal thing. Unrelated elephants raised together don't pair up. I guess it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, as inbred offspring would die off and be outcompeted by healthier non-siblingfuckers. Of course, then you have weird poo poo like Black Robins, whose entire breeding population descends from a single gravid female in the 80s and don't seem to have any genetic problems.

Plus, the definition of 'incest' varies greatly among cultures; plenty of ancient cultures accepted half-sibling marriages as acceptable, or between uncles and nieces, while nineteenth century British society threw absolute poo poo-fits over the idea of permitting marriage between widowers and their sister-in-law.

And then there's GSA where a statistically significant amount of separated-at-birth both fraternal twins and bother-sister reunites end up boning, and yeah, genetics is a big fuckin garbage slurry.

I'm going to see the Sondheim musical Assassins next week; apparently the film was initially supposed to debut around 1991 but it got delayed by a year or two since what with the patriotic frenzy of the 1991 Gulf War, producers were worried people would get upset about it. As someone who was in the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003, a hearty gently caress-you to anyone who got really wrought about the 1991 Gulf War, but I digress. But in honor of my being about to go to see Assassins (again, I've got most of the songs memorized), here's a few morbid fun-facts about famous people getting shot: -- First firearm assassination: 1570 in Scotland. First handgun assassination: 1584 in the Netherlands. -- The only British prime minister to be assassinated was in 1812 by a guy with a pair of single-shot black-powder flintlock pistols for which he paid four guineas (£4.20 in modern decimal-system currency, since guineas were under the totally whacko non-base-10 old currency system of dozens and twenties). -- In 1835 a guy set out to shoot US president Andrew Jackson during a funeral, but both of his black-powder pistols misfired. I hate Jackson as much as anybody but, credit where credit is due, the 67yr old dude charged the assailant and started whomping on him with a cane until a group of politicians (including Davy Crockett) managed to hold him back before he beat the guy to death. -- Charles Guiteau, when shopping for a pistol in 1881 to assassinate US President Garfield, was going to buy a .44 British Bulldog revolver, but suddenly realized that the ivory-handled version would look way cooler in a museum. But he didn't have the extra $1 to upgrade, so the shop did him a solid and sold him the ivory-grip for the same price as a wood-grip. And then he shot the president. -- In 1900 anarchist Gaetano Bresci shoots King Umberto I of Italy with a .32 caliber Iver-Johnson revolver. One year later leftist Leon Czolgosz assassinates US president William McKinley, deliberately using the exact same model of pistol. You could still buy vintage copies of an identical revolver for $100 or so at a gunshow or pawnshop since they're pretty cheap and dirt-common revolvers. -- Two different women tried to assassinate Gerald Ford in 1975, literally just 17 days apart. The first one was a gal who had been in the Manson Gang, and her attempt failed because she didn't know that after you insert the magazine in a pistol you need to rack the slide to put one in the chamber, so her attempted shot on Ford just went *click*. The next attempt was by a woman tied to leftist groups in the Bay Area, and she had a revolver (thus no magazine issues) but didn't realize you need to adjust the sights on a gun after you buy it, so missed Ford by inches, and then was tackled by an ex-Marine. Gay icon and politician Harvey Milk was aware that Oliver Sipple was active in the gay community in SF, and figuring "Gay Ex-Marine Saves President" would help dispel the image of the effeminate gay sissy, announced such, and Sipple ended up committing suicide after being unwillingly outed in front of the whole country. -- The vast majority of assassinations of major figures over the last half-millennium have been with handguns, and at very close range. Only a handful of major assassinations have been with rifles, and mostly at relatively short distance. Key among them being Lee Harvey Oswald who shot JFK with a cheap surplus Italian WWII bolt-action rifle, firing As a side-note, the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (boot camp) in San Diego trucks its kids up to nearby Camp Pendleton for rifle-range training. One of the ranges is labeled "The World Famous Bravo Range" with no explanation, but is apparently the range Lee Harvey Oswald trained on when he was a Marine recruit. I would've gotten a photo by the sign, but I didn't exactly have a camera on me during bootcamp nor did I want to get beaten. Anyway, so he's a bit of a semi-hero still in the Marine Corps, not approved for what he did on a political level, but appreciated for his technical skill. I mean, the *range* wasn't impressive, given that Marines train on targets up to 500yds away and Oswald's shots were all under 100yds, but he managed to get six shots off absurdly (or if you're Alex Jones, impossibly) quick with a manually operated rifle. Plus managed to kill a president, and fundamentally it comes down to Mission Accomplishment, so still a semi-exemplary ex-Marine. TapTheForwardAssist has a new favorite as of 10:35 on Mar 7, 2018 |

Cross posting to ruin everyone's day:bvj191jgl7bBsqF5m posted:Only the most socially maladjusted ones get pushed out because they probably smell bad and grope a waitress at a Denny's during a BDSM group meetup. The kink scene is a haven for weird psychos because questioning why somebody insists that everybody he dates act like a toddler when they gently caress is "yucking somebody else's yum", and then everybody is shocked when the guy who gets his girlfriends to pretend to be small children when they do BDSM things gets arrested with a trunk full of BDSM gear in a sting operation where he travelled across country to gently caress a 5 year old.

My brother, who will be ~out~ of the USMC in two months, hit the same deer, as it ran, five or six times with a bolt action rifle. Probably a little further than LHO distance. This was back when he was 14. Not the most humane shoot, or best for the venison, for he was young and the adrenaline surely was running, but it did die after that final shot. Marines man, unnerving as hell.

Honestly the most depressing and unsettling part of that article wasn't how the killers got into her apartment but the descriptions of life in the projects she lived in. Which is saying something because breaking in through the bathroom mirror is horrifying! Like gently caress it pisses me off she was likely murdered because she got backpay for being accepted on disability and just buying a few slightly nicer clothes and saving the rest to move was enough to tip people off that her circumstances had changed. And it pisses me off that a bunch of scam preachers from different states immediately started hitting her up for money. They were probably tipped off by people in the building, too! And it extra pisses me off that she was brutally killed right as things were going better for her. gently caress. PetraCore has a new favorite as of 05:43 on Mar 9, 2018 |
