Does Satanic ritual abuse panic count as unnerving?

Jonas Albrecht posted:Big fan of Crouch End. There's that old Family Guy gag about Stephen King trying to turn in a book about a lamp monster, but if you read through the wiki entries on his short stories, you realize that'd be well within his wheelhouse. I think that's my favorite King short, I definitely recommend it (it's also kinda cool he used elements from Lovecraft's writing.) Minarchist posted:Your ancestors weren't cannibals and that "dude, no, wtf!" reaction is natures way of keeping you from killing yourself via prion diseases. Plus its kinda sorta gross and unethical to eat people. Some of the earliest evidence we have of humans is them eating other humans. There are tons of pits filled with bones that have been knifed and chewed on, and findings like that span across a lot of continents and different unrelated groups. Just like a lot of apes and monkeys and related crap out there, we ate whatever we could catch, including other tribes and human subspecies. Traditionally speaking, we love eatin' us some human and the revulsion we have for it now is likely because of the current ideas we have socially and because of the stuff we've learned scientifically.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:I grew up in England, so the idea that you can stand on a normal residential street and on the other side is an endless silent moonscape really puts the zap on my head. Walk far enough into the desert and anything you leave there might as well be on Mars. I grew up in the desert so this isn't even weird to me. Stretches of hot nothing are comforting; big cities make me feel dirty and crowded. The pic below was very close to my old house. I live in this massive city in the Northwest right now but god I miss the desert.

The Endbringer posted:Recently I was at my parent's house, and everyone had gone to sleep. I was really high and playing Halo, and found it absolutely fascinating that controller rumble seemed to be shaking the entire room. Then my sister came downstairs and asked if I felt the earthquake. It took me far too long to realize that it was not the video game that was shaking the room. I did that with an earthquake in AZ like six years ago. I was alone in the apartment and noticed the door blinds swaying. I thought I'd left the screen door open and there was a breeze blowing or something. Definitely took me too long to realize that everything was moving.

I'd hope they would have ran them out of the town/county/state on a rail or did that weird bucket on the head and facing backwards on a mule or something. My dad, his brother and mother were supposedly banned from part or all of New Jersey. This would have been 70's or so. There were apparently some house fires attributed to them, but I don't speak to that half of the family anymore so I can't ask specifics.

Pretty much ended up being a knee-jerk reaction to "my kid got killed and you cops let it happen." Silver alerts probably work much better since that's usually a lost, not kidnapped, person.

It would be nice to know the full story on that one, but it sounds like there's probably going to be no further resolution unless something really obvious like signs of abuse or rabies come up from the dogs' necropsy. She pretty much abandoned and neglected them for months and expected them to be okay without eating on weekends and alright to be in an outside kennel in the winter with no human interaction. Surprise, dogs kept cold and starving in horrible conditions will eat you.

PetraCore posted:I've heard reports where attacks by other breeds get recorded as pit bull attacks because 'pit bulls are the violent dogs', and I have no doubt it happens, but... dismissing it as 'pit bulls don't have any instinctive holdover from being bred for dog fights' is not good, either. It's a mess. There's one record where a raccoon attack was reported as a pit bull. There was a hit-and-run identified as a pit bull. Dog bite statistics are crazily skewed because the person making the report will say any dog that looks vaguely bully is a pit, because pits are the current "bad dog." There are no standards, no genetic testing, and often the person who was attacked gets to identify what breed they think it was. On top of that news reports will say "pit bull" any chance they get because of ratings. https://www.nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/ineffective-policies/visual-breed-identification https://stories.barkpost.com/study-proves-difficult-visually-identify-pit-bulls/ You want skewed statistics?

So the first one was a massively neglected dog, the second one someone that neglected the child and likely the dogs too. That's not evidence one dog breed is aggressive, it's evidence that lovely people shouldn't have kids or dogs and people that don't understand neglected/abused animals shouldn't adopt special cases. Like who the hell leaves a kid alone with any animal? "Here Timmy, you just take this horse and I'll be home tonight." Holy poo poo I wouldn't even leave a kid alone with my rat terrier.

Sorry I don't make conclusions based on faulty anecdotal evidence  I mean if I went with that I'd also be on the side of "black men are more violent than white men" because they get arrested more, jailed more and reported in the news more than white men for the same crimes.Anyway I like reading about creepy radiation poo poo and thus bring you the demon core. https://nerdist.com/tickling-the-dragons-tail-the-story-of-the-demon-core/ Also creepy, I got "serial killers that were n....ecessary" in autocomplete while searching killers that were never caught. WTF Google.

I feel like the one with the best chance is the 17yo that escaped. She's obviously got a lot of tough to her (and maybe her siblings do to) and that can mean a whole hell of a lot in terms of recovery. I helped my mom and myself get out of a really lovely abusive situation when I was ten and managed to escape with not much more than some PTSD, self-image and anxiety issues that have managed to mostly go away on their own due to starting over in a better situation. Being in contact with the world, having friends that understand and adults you can trust can go a long way to heal. My mom has bigger mental health issues from a decade of abuse, but she's also a milder and much more timid person to begin with and I feel like that has a lot to do with it. I'm a headstrong rear end in a top hat, was always a headstrong rear end in a top hat, and hopefully the girl that escaped is too. My abuse wasn't nearly as bad as these kids, but it was still a very hosed up situation and twenty years later I only have anxiety to deal with. While some people might have problems forever maybe some of these kids will get lucky. Scathach has a new favorite as of 05:59 on Jan 20, 2018 |

I grew up with a ton of homeschooled kids. Two of them were my best friends. The only issue they ever had was that one grew up believing vaccines are evil even though her homeschooling mother was a nurse. None of our homeschoolers were from cults or anything, though, and they were socialized and on sports teams and in Girl Scouts and whatnot. Homeschooling can be great as long as the parents aren't crazy (but loving vaccinate your kids goddamnit.) E: like I went to school but also lived in the middle of nowhere without electricity with a crazy man. It took people a decade to figure out what was going on with my dad and even then some people didn't believe it. Some of our old neighbors still think my mom and I were lying because he was "such a nice helpful neighbor." There weren't outward signs of abuse and being in school definitely did not help my mom and I get help. Scathach has a new favorite as of 23:27 on Jan 22, 2018 |

It's weird but all the nurses I've known have been really crazy about vaccines, crystals and angels. Honestly though besides not vaccing her kids she was a good parent and good homeschool teacher. She was also the town Girl Scout leader and led some really awesome block parties.
