meh it's the tale hunters like to tell,meanwhile many places feed the deer in winter so they have something to shootey shootey

I think there's truth to it, anectodaly I've seen some pretty intense deer overpopulation on the suburban edge of a city.  On the other hand, even though I haven't heard of feeding, local hunting schedules are obviously designed to keep the populations reasonably high for continued sport (particularly by restricting doe-shooting to certain days).

I'm okay with it as long as the meat gets eaten (I used to help certain family members with that part) but the populations are kept artificially high purely to keep the sport fun.  So eh, it's vastly more humane than factory farming.
I guess somewhat more on topic, I'm still kinda upset about the Primus concert that visited recently.  My dad and I almost got tickets, but I'm glad we didn't.  I assumed the ampitheater would be like... half capacity for social distancing, or something.  Very much not the case.  I managed to sneak a couple pictures through a hole in the curtain wall.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was already in a pretty weird sad-nostalgic mood going through the downtown nightlife, seeing all the restaurants with their packed "outdoor" seating enclosed by plastic sheets and such.  I can certainly understand people taking such a risk occasionally to preserve their sanity... guilty... but everything seemed as busy as it ever had been. 

*sigh*

It was depressing, my dad helped me feel better somehow, the music was nice, and it isn't the fault of the people having fun any more than it's my fault.  There are people at fault, very deliberately spreading information they know is false, and... like, as a baseline thing, we should probably get them to stop actively doing it?  Can we at least do that?  They deserve the Hague, but maybe we could remove the profit motive for shilling for a respiratory virus.

Literal.  Fucking.  Death cult.  But also they're just following the money, agh.

Heh yeah on a more positive note, we used to do that a lot.  Whether just loitering/walking near live music, or him showing me good spots to observe from the tops of parking decks or whatnot.  My favorite was up in the mountains, we snuck into an empty football stadium and watched a baseball game from the top of the fully dark stands - to see a baseball game from reverse.  We were like, right behind the floodlights.  And despite being an inherently bad game, this particularly match was really close with a final inning upset, and I unironically enjoyed it.

Hanging out with him can be awkward sometimes, there's a *lot* of stuff and... stuff, but I feel like we both recovered some willpower points from that whole evening.  I mean- well both the one years ago and the one a few days ago.

Anyway yeah offering deadly medical advice IS actually a crime and the people doing it should be put in jail (or simply issued C&D) so they stop hurting people, and people should be afraid to platform them uncritically (AKA be complicit in the very real death and suffering they cause).  Maybe you can't prove they're lying, so let's just go for deadly criminal incompetence and shut them down.
(A couple more family members with Covid recently, probably caught it from their kids.  I'm not feeling particularly both-sidesy about this.  Stop fucking killing people you shills Stop the shills from killing people, NOW)

I got that shot thing everybody else has been posting that they've gotten.

[LordBaal]

[Starver]

(While I'm here adding more noise to signal, just gonna say I'm glad I was injected into my left arm, both times, or else I'd have felt a right prick.)

You should be asked and get it on your not dominant arm.

[WealthyRadish]

More important is whether you sleep on that arm, at least in my experience.

[Rolan7]

Yeah I got them on the arm I sleep on, my non-dominant arm, because the pain means its working I figured it'd be like massaging it.

he he, I know that spot.

[King Zultan]

They asked when I got it, and I had it in the right as it's not my dominant.

Some passively dangerous idiots branch out into actively dangerous idiocy...

edit: Or maybe not, as being discussed below

Could be a hoax. Someone on twitter did some digging: https://twitter.com/troonpilled/status/1436001194627960835

Source is definitely biased, but the info dug up is enough to be suspicious of the one who reported it.

Evidence wasn't preserved, but the authorities have CCTV footage, so I guess we'll find out one way or another.
