The Great Twist
We are starting a cat ranch in Lacon with 100,000 cats
Each cat will average 12 kittens a year
The cat skins will sell for 30 cents each
One hundred men can skin 5,000 cats a day

We figure a daily net profit of over $10,000. ($10,000?)
Now what shall we feed the cats?
We will start a rat farm next door with 1,000,000 rats
The rats breed 12 times faster than the cats
So we will have four rats to feed each day to each cat

Now what shall we feed the rats?
We will feed the rats
The carcasses of the cats
After they have been skinned

Now Get This!
We feed the rats to the cats
And the cats to the rats
And get the cat skins for nothing!

I grew up on a farm but I can’t seem to recall the bit where we strolled the land mowing down cats with firearms, seems to me we let them hang out and eat mice

did he just leave the rotting bodies scattered around for your mother to trip over so she could be reminded of the true circle of life wherein her husband inexplicably and eventually executes any small animal unlucky enough to cross his path?

Grew up on a farm, can confirm.

Things vary, but there's a reason for the old thing of unwanted kittens/puppies being put in a sack and thrown into the river with a brick and so on.

This isn't a rural or natural thing, to entice cats to come to your house with food and to breed until you feel like killing them for sport. Also, it's probably cheaper to fix them than to keep feeding 30 loving cats. There's also whole organizations catch, fix, and release feral cats. Just get some cat traps like sane people do lmao.

Also, edgelordgoon, this is what happens when you're actually a sociopath. You don't get some high paying job because you're ruthless or something. You do weird hosed upshit like murder your wife's cats every time she goes on vacation because you're incapable of just talking about it because you're socially stunted.

Sorry you had to learn your dad is sociopath on a dead gay forum catmurderdad goon(s?).

Odd posted:

I am cat killer parents OP not the guy you are replying to.

I am not going to try to defend his actions. As people have pointed out the hosed up part is feeding them then shooting them. On the other hand, he has lived out in the country in remote Texas his whole life and just has a different worldview (not saying it is a correct or good worldview). The cats are not friendly and are wild so in his eyes it is no different then shooting something like a coyote. The other option is they either starve or die a painful death by coyote/fox, or they go to the only shelter within 60 miles that also is a kill shelter.

Like I said, not saying it is right but as others have pointed out people who grow up on a farm in the middle of nowhere have a different view on the killing of "wild" animals. Yeah my mom feeds them, but my dad doesn't see that as his fault because he doesn't want her to. It's a hosed up situation, I agree, but also I just don't really care that much?

Edit: As for sociopath/psychopath chat. My dad was a great father and is a great person when it comes to most things, but he also grew up in a shack with dirt floors and no glass in the windows with a dad who was an alcoholic and beat/molested him constantly. Then when he turned 18 and finally got free he immediately got drafted and sent to Vietnam where a bunch of really hosed poo poo happened so yeah he absolutely has some sociopathic things about him. Again, not an excuse just giving you guys some context that there is a lot more behind his disagreeable poo poo.

hilarious

talk to an 80+ about having to chase down, kill, gut, and clean their dinner by hand

it is weird that the dude never does finish the job, but that's probably because the cats that are left see what's going on and the farm is big

he might be able to poison them, but without killing the other animals that are a) useful and b) don't breed like loving crazy?

lots of assumptions there, friendgoon

'for sport' - nah, my money is on him feeling a sense of grim responsibility and annoyance at his in-denial wife who keeps this going

'socially stunted' - now you're on to something, the ones before boomers were the 'silent generation', and that stuff lingers on

'your dad is sociopath' - my dad never shot cats, I just know things beyond dead gay Internet forums, you should try it

and actually killing animals and dealing with all the entrails, blood, guts, fur, smells, and noises
rather than buying geometric slabs of brightly-dyed plastic-wrapped play-doh to the dulcet sounds of easy listening music
may give someone a different perception of life and death

I stole several stories from E/N and posted them to /r/relationships under throwaways.

Most were locked/deleted due to overwhelmingly negative replies. Several were alleged to be trolls, they engendered such disdain. I'd hoped they may filter back to SA into the /r/relationships thread but apparently goons are so terrible at life that stories of their woe are immediately deleted due to rampant insults or the appearance they are works of fiction, so slovenly is the goon.

This is actually super ironic given that SA frequently discusses r/relationships posts and comes to the same conclusions

I wonder how many r/r posts posted to GBS are actually E/N posts

quote:

I'm 25 years old and a virgin. I've never had sex, kissed, held hands, gone on a date or spoken to a girl in anything resembling a romantic context. I never tried to. I would have gone with it if one had ever approached me, but I'm not good-looking at all so that didn't happen(and I'm not good at picking up on subtle things so unless they came right out and said it I never even knew). I never approached any, myself, so I can't actually say I've ever been rejected. I just never even tried. And now I'm at a point in my life where I feel like I probably just shouldn't bother. I mean I'm actual years behind the curve at this point, I'd just be wasting people's time.

25 is still super young dude, you've got your whole life ahead of you

I'm not gonna come right out and tell you to hit the bars or get Tinder or whatever, that'd be stupid to try right out of the gate, but just get a hobby that involves talking to people, and (said with no judgment as per usual) see a therapist to discuss your self-esteem issues. Eventually you probably should try an Internet dating service, because that will remove a lot of the ambiguity from the process, but I'm of the opinion that you need to work on your self-confidence first.
