I am extremely confused by your scenario.
We are not “hunting” an animal and stalking it, and then coming at it with a big trap, then leaving it there for hours before it’s killed. The trap is set, and then the trapper leaves. The animal usually doesn’t see the trapper until right before the moment of death.
There isn’t any argument for gun control. Tell the CIA to stop grooming kids on Discord and Telegram to do school shootings, problem solved. Notice this never happens in Iceland. That’s because their version of the CIA isn’t on Discord.
What?
I didn’t bully people smarter than me, I’m saying this is a game we all played.
… man, whatever. I’m sorry that happened.
Have-A-Heart traps are used by animal welfare groups and animal shelters, so I don’t know if it’s so bad to wait in the trap, unless said animal groups are incorrect to use said traps. Admittedly, cats who have never encountered these traps sometimes freak out when first trapped, and cats who have seen them before can outsmart them easily. I’ve never thought they were good for trapping cats, as they are specifically designed NOT to trap cats.
Have-A-Heart traps are intended to trap furbearing animals but allow for the release of cats, dogs or endagered species. You’ve probably seen them before. These staps are box rectangle shaped, chrome colored, and are activated when the animal places their weight on the lever in the back of the trap. These are also called double door traps.
Bolt guns are commonly used in animal slaughter and are often considered ‘humane.’ If you eat red meat, the cow was likely killed with a captive bolt gun.
If aliens landed, I would still have to pay bills. What difference does it make, at the end of the day?
You seem to speculate that your bullies were jealous of you because you are more successful with women than they are, or because they were secretly gay. In my case, we had very little parental supervision and everyone bullied one another to some degree. We used to play a game of tag where the person who got caught by ‘it’ would be tied to a tree and lashed with a switch, and the person tied to a tree had to escape in order to become ‘it.’
edit: So, this is supposed to be a cautonary tale against not watching your kids, not “admitting to bullying people smarter than me.” All kids in my grade played this game together. Now that I know what kind of social space I am in, I will no longer be sharing any personal information with this crowd. Thanks for letting me know that you’re nuts, or at least a nonzero number of you.
You absolutely should not have been punished for defending yourself in that situation; strangulation is attempt at murder. Did anything happen to the other kid?
Those are confederates, friend.
I saw a black and white performance of blackface on youtube, I think in the context of looking it up for a college course. I don’t really understand the concept or why it’s supposed to be funny. In the performance, the two white actors painted their faces as they performed, and when they were done painting themselves, they didn’t look like black guys. Before I saw this clip, I thought that blackface existed becasue black people weren’t allowed on stage, like how Shakespearean plays had young boys play the female roles because they weren’t allowed to include women.
Where I grew up, most people use a Have-a-Heart trap or a snare, then a knife or captive bolt gun (no bulltets).
“Why is no one having babies anymore?”
I only fly the original flag that we had before the rainbow one, although every crew had their own version.
