Not sure if you’ve seen it, but it involves Florida and...stuff I won’t mention because it’s making me queasy. I now need brain bleach.

Horrible story.

Just awful. I feel similar to that Indian rape story that involved a tire iron. I just can’t understand such reckless hate.

I think I know what you’re on about ... nobody needs to see that.

I felt a profound sense of shame as a man, and anguish that another living being had to suffer such a terrible fate. Now I just feel drained.

Kinja'd!!!

Pretty much like this.

Yeah. I see and hear about so much shit in my job. Just a couple of months ago there was a decapitation. That didn’t faze me one bit. This story? This story made me feel physically sick.

People are mad, man ... and they do mad stuff.

Instead of squirrels, I thought I’d offer the observation that Germany’s Federal Minister of Transportation A. Dobrindt looks like Hardigree’s long-lost brother. :D

Cannot un-read, been on http://openpuppies.com/#0n25aBB since just so I can cope with the terrible-ness of the event.

Yeah. You need beer.

Lots of fucking beer.

Kinja'd!!!

My response after reading that was to go and grab a beer (yes, that is so much beer that the shelves are bowing).

I think it’s because we have already been desensitized with decapitations, also they is a sense of little suffering in that case, whereas this case you know it must have been awful. It is similar to a literal curbstomp, how can people be so awful and cruel?

Yeah I might have a drink when I get home. I like your selection though.

Argh that’s pretty nasty. It’s not just the imagery it’s the thoughtof a human being acting in such a brutal animalistic way. Upsetting.

Yeah usually I like reading comments on articles. I pretty much skimmed the article and then closed the tab and regretted clicking on it.

I meant this as more of a warning, definitely not a challenge. Somethings are not good for the soul, and that article is one of them I think.

Yeah it’s beyond reason.

Oh I know it wasn’t.

But I had to be the tough guy

Had to prove I could handle it because Sir_Stig must be a wimp.

I’m going to go home and curl up in my Montego for a bit...It’s one of my happy places.

May I have one, too, please?

Yeah I’ve done that myself before, I always regret it. I’ll try and get some work done I guess and listen to something.

That imagery was... jesus fuck. I did not need to read that. No one needs to read that.

Also, thanks, it’s a lot of damn money tied up in there (it goes all the way to the back, there are about 120-130 bottles in there, 32 of them are Firestone Walker).

09/22/2015 at 15:48

Of course. =)

We all need to drink to forget that. I will say this though, reading that article to get to drink my beer is not worth it.

I haven’t reacted that viscerally to a description of something in months (I wish I could say that it was longer than that). I just need to stop reading about what people do to one another and go back to reading about car specifications and speculation.

09/22/2015 at 15:50

Yeah it felt damaging to my psyche.

I always feel bad when I get a bunch of beer because it ends up being like $75 and I’ll only have about half a dozen beers. It’s a shame truly great beer is usually closer to $10/bottle.

Somebody posted a photo of their corgi in the comments. The world needs more cute corgi photos.

09/22/2015 at 15:54

This is why I almost never drink any of these by myself. If I’m spending north of $10 for a bottle, it’s a rarity that I’m drinking it alone.

I do occasionally run out of “normal” beers though. Which I refuse to actually complain about. It’s the one area of my life that I splurge on, and if I really want a beer, and I have only barleywines, sours, and imperial stouts to choose from, then I’ll make a choice and enjoy the heck out of it. I do regularly pick up a mixed six or two of new or seasonal stuff so that I have something to drink if I want a beer with dinner.

Fuck.

Why?

Why did I do that?

I had no idea what you were talking about, so of course I had to investigate. I now wholeheartedly regret that decision. You know how they say “What has been seen cannot be unseen.”? Well I can’t think of something where this could possibly apply more.

Fucking shit man. I’m gonna home, sit in my chair, and just hold my daughter and pray she never encounters a man like that in her life.

Yeah pretty much, it’s one of those situations where your curiousity overrides your good sense and you need to know more.

You don’t need to know more.

Curiosity killed the cat after all.

Shit, that probably wasn’t the idiom to use in reference to this article...
