No, the underage girl was from the first instance of Caredresser outing himself as a sexual predator. :shepface:

Anyways, here's a half-assed memory version of a funny quote from Caredresser's abortive sexcapade.

Caredresser posted:

"I'll update you on how the sex was."

Carth Dookie posted:

"Spoiler alert: legally dubious and morally indefensible. ... [stuff that I can't remember] ... And when you go for her tits, the taste in your mouth isn't from the piercings. It's shame."

Wish I had saved the actual quote, but the thread was such a buffet of amazing takedowns at that point that I just kept on reading. And then it was gone. drat.

It ended with caredresser doxxing himself from a month or so previous getting dragged up, a bunch of amazing photoshops and several goons calling the hospital caredresser was kind enough to name to report him by name.

Just wanna say how obvious Todd Rogers was at cheating

There's a game where his record was 1,110,500 on Twin Galaxies' website

The second place record was 142
He also had the record on Wabbit, where he claimed a high score of 1698, in a game where scores went up in increments of 5, and where you couldn't actually keep playing after hitting 1300, as well as The Legendary Axe, with a score of 99,999,990 when scores only go up by 50 points at a time. Obviously impossible scores that anybody who knew anything about the game should have been able to catch.

The Legendary Axe thing isn't necessarily obvious, sometimes scoreboard maxima don't follow the scoring rules. The C64 game Wizball has scoring increments no smaller than 10, but the maximum possible score is 999,999.

Yeah, but from that article, the max on The Legendary Axe is 99,999,999, so he managed to get an impossible score that isn't the maximum.

Yeah, in the speedrunning/high score circles, Twin Galaxies has this clout for basically being the first people to "officially" record scores and stuff, but they're also quite known for being insular assholes who worship people who've been around the longest without question, and look for even the smallest amount of ammo to use against every other player that stands a chance of topping any score list. You'd think their mouths would get sore from all the dick sucking they devote themselves to.

I once lived in a lovely trailer where the heater would randomly make a high-pitched shrieking noise, usually very late at night. The heating guy took one look at it and was like, "why the gently caress haven't you burned to death, yet?" It was all wires spliced together in a sweet, sweet death clusterfuck.

Anyway, I didn't die in a fire and my solution was banging the poo poo out of the thin walls around the heater until it shut the gently caress up. If my heater was sending me messages, they were clearly warnings to move the gently caress out.

That or it was a Rick and Morty fan and it was just Reeeeeeeeeeeeee-ing from our goddamn future.

I don’t loving do uteruses y’all

BUT given the pliability of early fetal bones, decapitation and dismemberment during an extremely premature delivery is not even slightly unbelievable. After a miscarriage, sometimes a D&C is necessary to remove retained fetal and placental... detritus.

Additionally, having recently squeezed a giant baby out of my vadge, I can confirm that there’s a lot of forward-and-backward action during active pushing contractions. I could see Kepler’s scalp during each contraction for over an hour before we finally got him out, but when each contraction eased I couldn’t see anything but a lock of his hair hanging outta my crotch.

Here’s the deal though: at that stage of fetal development, we are talking about less than a pound of baby. The head wouldn’t be likely to fly anywhere— more of a tumble-and-roll situation, although when it comes to dead baby parts that probably feels like a trebuchet launch. Most of the blood would be maternal, and yes, that could fly— the laboring vagina is basically a potato cannon full of wet shreds once there’s no baby in the way.

There would have been very little recognizable as a baby by the time the parts were gathered up. A flying baby head would have been more-or-less crushed by deceleration trauma, and a rolling baby head would be barely recognizable anyway. There was probably a tiny, intact hand or foot in there somewhere, and that’s probably what the parents focused on.

I still believe the Facebook posting aspect though because I’ve had pts demand to take pictures of their post-surgical BMs to share on social media. And honestly, evocative language aside, this story is completely plausible as a tragedy that would have been difficult to prevent from playing out this way.

Not to open a can of worms, but this is actually what partial-birth abortion was supposed to prevent. A baby who can’t survive could be humanely euthanized, dismembered cleanly to preserve its body, and retrieved without the trauma of full delivery so that the grieving mother could have time with her dead child.
