People get really protective about their dogs. When I was living in Alaska I read an article about a lady who let her dachshund out in the yard and heard a yipe. She looks out and a bear has her dog in it's mouth. So she runs up to it, punches the bear in the nose, it drops the dog and she goes back inside. Her reaction a little later was "oh my god I don't know why I did that" Found it: Woman punches bear Uncle Enzo fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Jun 1, 2021 |

For both the Mormon and dehydration chat, something rather OSHA (and speaking as an exmormon, harmful practice among many others) is an annual event held for youth called Trek. It's role playing the 1800s pioneers pulling handcarts in the middle of Summer often in Central US States. Kids aged 14 to 18 are taken to a remote area, given recreations of the clothes and carts they used, and are sent on a multiday trip. The kids would be split up into "families" assigned "parents" from a couple of adult leaders. Some would be selected to "die" and thin out the families and increase their appreciation for the difficulty the pioneers faced. Towards the end there would be a "women's pull" where the men were to stand by, usually by some big hill or rough area, to symbolize how many men died and women had to carry on by themselves. It was supposed to be an emotional pinnacle to bring everyone back together in gratitude for each other but from most stories it just made the women hate the men more! They're supposed to be shadowed by adults with full, modern supplies and medical aid. In stories I've heard over the years, though, that often wasn't the case. Many got quite sick, some taken to hospital, and a few years back a 29 year old woman died from heat exhaustion. By the way, this is all volunteer, too, and usually each kid had to pay some amount to contribute to food and transportation costs. Pretty much all involved are non-paid youth or local congregation leaders and rarely any actual expert on the things involved. The cart and clothes are made by a neighbor down the street. I never went on it when very involved in my youth, so I'm grateful I missed out (although I would have really been into it at the time). https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2016/jun/22/arkansan-dies-while-pioneer-reenactment-trek-mormo/ quote:An Arkansan participating in a pioneer trek re-enactment in northeast Oklahoma with youth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is believed to have died of a heatstroke earlier this week, church officials said. Here are some quotes from an exmormon group (A Stake, lead by a Stake President, is a regional area consisting of about 5 local congregations called Wards. Wards, lead by a Bishop, were usually about 50 to 100 families. A Stake would host a Trek year every now and then and youth from the surrounding Wards would join in.): quote:When we had a trek a bunch of years ago the stake next to ours provided some advice based on their experience. Their first bit of advice was NO baby dolls (they used a sack of flour). Some smart-rear end kid reminded his "family" that lots of babies died on the real pioneer trek so they could pretend theirs died and none of them would have to carry that drat sack of flour. So they had a death and then pulled over and held a funeral. The Ma and Pa were helpless to stop it because, well, the kids were playing it straight-faced. quote:My sister had a baby less than a month before trek. They tried to make her and her husband a ma and pa couple. She reminded them of the baby situation and they told her to just bring it along. Plenty of pioneer women had babies on the trail. quote:In my parents' stake, somebody screwed up the water truck scheduling, so the whole group was stuck without water resupply for two days in the middle of nowhere during the hottest summer in years. They couldn't call anybody about it because they were out in the mountains. Luckily they still had some water with them, so nobody died or suffered heat injuries, but it could have gone very differently. This is the price of incompetence. quote:We had sweltering heat, during the trek. Youth were passing out and delirious from the heat, but everyone kept pushing forward. Youth were literally being taken away in ambulances, but everyone persevered, carrying sacks of potatoes to represent carrying your children. How incredibly stupid. quote:I was "killed" because I was taking on too much responsibility and female. My “mother” had gotten actual food poisoning, and my “father” was on cooking staff so he got to ride in the car from point a to point b. I took over with my “siblings” since I was oldest and more of a natural leader than the rest of them. I guess the stake leaders wanted to see my “family” struggle when their only support system was cut off. So the leader dressed in a fairy headband labeled the Angel of Death came for Me, told me my “siblings” were taking me for granted, and for about two hours and I had to ride in an uncovered trailer in the Texas heat. They revived me just in time for the women’s pull. I would also love to add that the section of trail the women had to pull alone, was the WORST part of the entire trek with big hills and steep dirt ruts. Oh and it started pouring down rain as we pulled into camp that night so there was mud everywhere and all the tents the men had set up while waiting for us, flooded. Boy Scout trained young men didn’t have the drat common sense to put rain tarps on because “the tents would have been too hot without air flow” and “it didn’t look like rain”. I also just loved struggling to pull the carts up the last wildly steep and now slippery with mud hill while the young men got to watch us struggle. Rest assured, they were singing Called to Serve as we approached and of course that gave us super strength./s My clothing was soaked and muddy so I didn’t even bother with wearing my pioneer clothes the last day of the trek. I rolled up my “bloomers” as high as I could as a gently caress you to the leadership.

Lol. Mormons recreating the handcart disaster. And let's be honest, if they hadn't taken over Utah wholesale, there'd just be an endless string of Illinois incidents wiping them out because evangelical christians are literally batshit insane compared to the mormons and can't help but murder people they disagree with. Crazy as the mormons are, I'd still take them as neighbors over every other crazy christian sect.

Speaking of water intoxication, I really like the (sort of unintuitive) treatment for it. 2% saline solution IV. Increases the salinity of blood to the point that the water in the cells is drawn out of them and into the bloodstream. Kind of odd that the treatment for too much water is more water.

Plenty of European idiots made the migration to Utah, also, so it's not even an explicitly American thing. But thanks for the walk down South Park road. Been a while since I saw that episode.

There was this big tree hiding the sidewalk corner that you turned into to walk up to my apartment, and as I turned that corner, I came face to face with a big-rear end buck. It froze, I froze, my dog froze... then my dog started growling and raising his hackles. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remembered that deer commonly stomp dogs to death. The buck raised one of its feet and I just... without thinking, punched it in the nose, as hard as I possibly could. That broke the trance, and the buck belted off into the woods and my dog started barking like crazy until it was out of sight. I was pretty shaken up about because afterwards it hit me how close I came to getting gored or something, but I'd do that poo poo again in a heartbeat.

If you’re caught up against a wild animal, bopping it on its nose is usually not a bad idea. That poo poo hurts.
