Puppy want some peanut butter?
So, yesterday a rousing discussion broke out amongst TPTB over this story:
The discussion ranged around whether or not bestiality is a victimless crime. And if it is, who’s the victim? Does this violate the NAP?
Narrator: “This ladies and gentlemen, is the meeting room of the fabled Glibertarian PTB. It is not uncommon to find deep discussions on the likes of Plato, Socrates, or the origins of Man. Let’s peek in shall we?”
PTB #1: “I don’t see a victim here.”
PTB#2: “So you’re okay with fucking dogs?!?”
Narrator: “Let’s check back later, it appears they’re on a break.”
Discuss.
Good afternoon everybody.
Evenin’
Bow wow wow yippie yo, yippie ye.
I was expecting that chick to look a lot ruffer.
19-Year-Old Woman Had ‘Extremely Graphic’ Sex With Dog
Bringing new meaning to the term “animal husbandry.”
I’d say the dog is the victim of animal cruelty. That dog might never be suitable for being owned by a normal human again after being taught to do more that a leg-humping.
The charge of “unnatural intercourse” seems a bit silly. Drop that charge and keep the animal cruelty charge.
I agree, but it’s difficult, to put it mildly, to trace the offense qua offense, to first principles. Do animals have rights that are not devolved [is that the right word?] from a human owner? What’s the grounding principle(s) for a moral theory that encompasses animal abuse as immoral, let alone immoral? Particularly when the abuse is committed by the owner?
May a man beat his mule? Am I outraged when a man beats his mule? Yes. But in a very pointed sense, so what?
Now approached from the other direction, I think it’s possible to argue that moral harm is done to the perpetrator of animal cruelty by ‘virtue’ of the act. I’d be willing to attempt an argument that it is, at minimum, an act of self-harm, and move from there to something like Scruffy’s position below.
It’s not the harm to the animal per se, but the harm done to the perpetrator, and his community, by having done the harm.
I’m ok with a scarlet letter of sorts.
Anybody who’s eager to fuck barnyard animals (and advertise that fact) certainly lacks any social inhibition and as such, has basically announced that they’re not to be trusted around kids (or anybody else for that matter).
She probably belongs in an institution.
Yeah, ya gotta wonder when (or maybe if) some things are so immoral they should be illegal.
I have a problem with the fact that she recorded it and uploaded it to the web. Was she trying to monetize it? If she was successful in doing so, would it encourage other people to fuck dogs?
That wouldn’t be a good trend.
Do you want a war on drugs? ‘Cause this is how you get a war on drugs.
Was she a real woman, or did she give the dog a bone?
*Golf clap
“In my 17 years in law enforcement, this is one of the most disturbing cases that I’ve ever investigated,” said Jones County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. J.D. Carter. “JCSD is in possession of several videos that are so graphic that we are not at liberty to release them or even discuss the particular content. The investigation into this case is far from over.“
Sounds like those cops are gonna be spending a lot of time on this case reviewing the videos.
videos that are so graphic that we are not at liberty to release them or even discuss the particular content
That’s what it hangs on. Is this typical self-aggrandizing, charge-inflating cop bullshit, or is there something other than an unsavory and morally questionable act?
19-Year-Old Woman Had ‘Extremely Graphic’…
50 years ago Linda Lovelace costarred in a movie with a German Shepherd.
I don’t remember if it was before (maybe) she ‘Did Dallas” or after words. I think filmed by her husband or at least the same cinematographer that did the Dallas travelog. That filmed made the rounds but was later denied/lost/forgotten.
The Hat: I’d do her Doggy style! Right in the pooper! Where the hell is my cantelope!?
Another chapter of World War II comes to an end:
Ben Ferencz, the last living prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, who tried Nazis for genocidal war crimes and was among the first outside witnesses to document the atrocities of Nazi labor and concentration camps, has died. He had just turned 103 in March.
Too bad, he almost got to see WW3.
Unprosecuted war criminal by his own admission and advocate for make believe universal standards that didn’t apply to himself. RIP to a good man.
Just a reminder for everyone about Neph’s open-to-all, unmoderated, weekend-long holiday zoom thingy.
Nobody but me and animal right now, come on people!
kinky
Guess who is going to help us broaden WW3 into Iran?
https://news.antiwar.com/2023/04/06/israel-ready-to-attack-iran-without-us-help-idf-chief/
I, of course, will get no say in the matter.
This may be another version of “yeah, the Russians are paranoid due to their history, but you can understand why they’d invade Ukraine”, as in “yeah, the Israelis are paranoid due to their history, but you can understand why they’d bomb Iran”. Depending on where your sympathies lie, one could be justifiable and not the other. MY confirmation bias says “Well, Iran with a nuke is a much more clear and present existential threat to Israel than Ukraine as a NATO member is an existential threat to Russia.”
But I gotta say, there are a lot of priors that go into justifying either one.
It’s obvious to me that this is Israel looking to undermine the SA/Iran negotiations. If they make peace, it undermines about thirty years of Israel’s foreign policy and AIPAC lobbying.
I am also certain that there are plenty of permanent DC residents that would like to prevent that outcome. Peace is breaking out in the ME, and it’s bad for business.
In France they be like
“Who let the Frogs out??”

Yes. The French are gay.
While a teenager I once worked at a gas station with an older fellow. One time he told a story about his youth when he was milking a cow. Bored, he started looking at the cow’s, er, private parts. He said that the more he looked, the better it looked, so he dropped trou and gave it a try. I don’t remember too many details (if any were given) but he seemed to think that the cow didn’t seem to mind.
As far as animal cruelty it seems to me that the size of the animal should have some bearing. A cow has, on occasion, had the arm of a veterinarian inserted up to his shoulder into her “privates” for artificial insemination so it seems to me that Shorty’s dingus wouldn’t do much (if any) damage. But I could see a smaller animal, such as a dog or cat, receiving physical harm.
I met a guy at Harvard, Vadim was his name, that drunkenly bragged (unfortunately for him) about losing his virginity to a sheep.
It’s not just farm boys.
That’s a Yale joke I assume.
Nope, totally true.
In college, one of the grad students who taught a “homework session” of the main class was a Scottish dude.
He told us specific techniques about sheep shagging, how you have to “herd” the chosen sheep to face a place where they can’t go forward, like into a craggy rock face or a fence. Then the sheep will just stand there and take it.
I think there’s a significant difference in shagging a sheep or cow, basic herd animals who don’t have a bunch of human-like emotions, versus shagging a dog, who’s been domesticated to have a special bond and “pack” relationship with humans. I might be crazy, but I think the dog’s psychology could suffer from being forced to do this sort of thing.
I hope he was just funnin’ you.
The Montana version was you wheelbarrowed the sheep by the back legs over to ravine and the scared sheep would push back

“JCSD is in possession of several videos that are so graphic that we are not at liberty to release them or even discuss the particular content. The investigation into this case is far from over.“
They’re in the process of negotiating a pay per view release.
Saying the quiet part out loud.
No shit, Sherlock. Maybe you should have thought about that before advocating for a weaponization of the financial system.

The arrogance baked into that statement should have all other countries seething.
It’s not weaponizing when we do it.

Classic
Thank you! Started slow, imnsho, but some great ones as it progressed.
But they missed a trick — should maybe have been “… replaced with Shetland bronies.”
Just got my first AARP invitation in the mail today.
I was torn between ranting about being too young for that bullshit or about the fact they’re a bunch of commie bastards.
But you can get fifty percent off on Metamucil.
That’s a solid deal!
I’d run to take advantage of it.
Explosive
The Republican megadonor whose gifts to the supreme court justice Clarence Thomas have come under the spotlight has a private collection including a garden of statues of dictators, including Mussolini and Stalin; Nazi memorabilia; and paintings including two works by Adolf Hitler, the Washingtonian reported.
“I still can’t get over the collection of Nazi memorabilia,” the Washingtonian quoted an anonymous source as saying, regarding a visit to Harlan Crow’s Texas home. “It would have been helpful to have someone explain the significance of all the items. Without that context, you sort of just gasp when you walk into the room.”
Crow, the source said, also had paintings “done by George W Bush next to a Norman Rockwell next to one by Hitler”.
A painting of Thomas and Crow smoking cigars in company including the rightwing activist Leonard Leo was included in an explosive report by ProPublica, detailing Crow’s lavish gifts to Thomas over more than 25 years.
They all sit around in their SS lederhosen, singing Nazi drinking songs waiting for the girls and dogs to come on stage.
Now do Tony Podesta and his creepy-ass artwork of kids.
THAT’S DIFFERENT!!!!!!111!!!1!!!1!1
Even worse…
I own a Darth Vader helmet, must mean that I’m a secret Storm Trooper or something. I also own a Storm Trooper helmet. Shit, I’m a secret baddy.
Outraged Democrats promised investigations and, in the case of the New York Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, threatened to introduce articles of impeachment.
The hive is buzzing.
The walls are closing in.
Still, news of Crow’s far-right memorabilia seemed bound to add to Thomas’s embarrassment – perhaps in part because Thomas has written that arguments for abortion rights spring from theories of eugenics, as espoused by Hitler and the Nazis.
Bob Beamon’s got nothing on you, buddy.
So, if I’m following, Thomas hanging out with a Nazi is bad because Thomas has explicitly repudiated importing Nazi eugenics via abortions?
I mean, are they worried the Nazi is going to change Thomas’s thinking on this, so he becomes pro-abortion?
They’re just looking for any possible angle to use as leverage on Thomas.
I get that they are shitflinging monkeys, but the complete lack of logic just dumbfounds.
I gave up on trying to find any logic in their reasoning a while ago. It’s just labels and emoting.
Hate has no logic, nor any need for it.
Back home. Truck is in driveway next to new trailer.
Now, I can fight with the insurance about the several thousand in out of pocket expenses.
Good that you’re home and safely. Hope the other part comes out in your favor as well.
Good that you are back home.

Banks Are Closing Customer Accounts, With Little Explanation
Golly, what could it be?
It’s remarkable to me how many people with what you could consider small accounts use the big banks.
Personally, I don’t want to be a minnow swimming in the same tank with humpback whales.
During HS and college I worked as a floating teller at a bank.
Much better to be well known at the local branch at a regional bank unless you need services that the big banks provide.
Walked into my credit union today and was greeted with a smile and they knew my name.
🤜🏼🤛🏼
Even the smaller banks have access to advanced services these days. Unless I needed access to investment bank services, like selling commercial bonds, there’s no reason for me to use those guys.
I bet at least some are legacy from acquisitions.

A 10 year old BMW is a perfect choice for your only car and daily driver. No way to see that coming.
Smart life choices.
Should have just stopped payments on it and found the cheapest thing around to get through the crisis.
If she had a brain, she would have taken the car to an independent scrap shop and had it parted out.
But if she had a brain, she would have been driving a bought-new Civic or Corolla, and would still be under the factory warranty..
“2013 BMW”
There’s the problem right there. Wonderful cars during the warranty period, potential horrific moneypits after that with all the expense and trouble of German parts and specialist mechanics.
+1 plastic electric water pump and water cooled alternator.
Yep, and a lot of used lots prey on ignorant people with off lease BMWs and similar. If you have money to burn lease a new BMW every few years, if not get thee to a Toyota (or Honda or Mazda) dealership.
What?
OMG, that’s simply obscene.
2013 BMW
I think I see the problem.
If you’re gonna buy a 10 year old vehicle on payments, it should be a Toyota or Subaru.
Budget for the inevitable head gasket job.
That’s just unseemly transportation for someone in HR!
Anyone want odds on whether she had a pre-purchase inspection done?
A world wise 25 yo in HR? 🙄
I’ll bet she’s a fucking master of pronouns though!
mistress of pronouns
Don’t assume.
A mastress of pronouns? And connouns?
Obviously the government needs to step in to protect 25 year old HR employees from their own foolish decisions.

I welcome it but does he have the authority to do it? With a weak model governorship I’m not sure he has a leg to stand on.
You think you can just roll that kind of cheap shot in here? Why, it’s as if you had no spine at all sir!
Depends on the Board of Pardons and Parole:
In all criminal cases, except treason and impeachment, the Governor shall have power, after conviction, on the written signed recommendation and advice of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, or a majority thereof, to grant reprieves and commutations of punishment and pardons
Oh wait… I think I’m missing a joke here.
Eh, they don’t have a leg to stand on.
Neither does he.

Another on-topic song?
A man finally makes his fortune and is having his dream house built. As he talks to the architect on how he wants the house built he says, “See that tree there, don’t cut it down because under that tree I made love for the first time.”
The architect says he understands the sentimental value of the tree and he will design the house so that the tree isn’t harmed.
Then the man says, “And you see that tree over there, I don’t want it cut either, because her mother stood there and watched as we made love.”
The architect could hardly believe his ears. “That’s incredible, what did her mother say?”
To which the man replies, “Baaaaaa.”
Once you go sheep, you never go baaaaaaaa-ck..

Good evening and morning you fine folk! Saturday was the first attempt with using a shower chair. Need help getting in and out which is a minus but on the plus side there is a handy-dandy hole in the seat so that power scrubbing of the dangly bits and clencher is easily achieved. The chair is big enough for about two of me so the glass doors needed to be removed. Plastic was hung in its place. Whoulda thought that cripples were so fucking huge? Anyway, it’s a treat to stop the ripe and rife. Next stop, shaving!
Good morning, Fes! There’s been a shower chair in the tub at Chez GT/TT for several years now, I think since TT’s second stroke. He’s recovered enough that I don’t know whether he uses it much anymore, but I find it sure comes in handy for shaving my legs. 🙂
Hawt.
Is it finally warm enough to be out at Tranquility Base?
Not yet – only 38 degrees (“feels like 34”) here in SW OH. 😞 Warming trend in the coming week’s forecast, though, so maybe next weekend?

Obligatory.
Festus, as a long time user of the sliding shower bench I had to do the same thing. I had a volunteer organization put handicap bars in the shower, I only paid for the bars, labor was free. While he was here he raised the recliner up about 4 inches so I could get up/down easier.
The handicap bars let me sand up to solve the mysteries of those particular areas that I can’t see.

I would like to get my car washed today. I wonder if they’re open on Easter.
I was wondering the same thing about the Giant Auto Wash up the road from GT.
Wait long enough and god will wash your car.
According to the forecast from FriedEggs®, not this week in the (937)
She doesn’t hand dry it. Or get the wheels clean. 😒
I left my truck out for the first time last night, first time in many years. My yard is so icy I’m afraid to walk in it ’til god cleans the ice. It did get a pathetic free wash though, last night.
