I tried messaging back and she never replied :(

I was thinking... I know there's a script that can overwrite all your past posts, usually as a privacy thing or just a "fuck you" wipe to reddit for monitizing your years of input...

I didn't do that when I left during the non-sence almost 2 years ago because I felt bad destroying that knowledge I left, but sometimes that's how things have to be...

Wouldn't it be nice to wipe your entire 9 years of reddit posts with something fairly mundane but that would hit the threshold for this bullshit new rule?

I'm taking submissions at this time.

Somethings fucky here......

Yeah, I think the biggest hangup for us is that, given the context, this person isn't someone who was gay and is now straight, it's someone who was exploring their sexuality and then decided to nope out, regardless of their actual orientation.

I agree with you when you say "it's who you are".

Do you not see a situation where someone is born and believes themselves gay (the reasons why they would think this are numerous, almost as numerous as the countless reasons people think they are straight growing up) and then after living as a gay person they come to understand themselves better and recognise that they are actually fairly straight?

I'm not saying that's what's going on here, it sounds very sad and basically someone just heading back to the closet to avoid shitty people and shitty society. But questioning someone who says they are straight, or gay or bi or enby or ace or whatever, is flawed. They may be lieing, they may be confused, hiding, virtue signalling. But you don't get to call them bi just because they said and behaved as if they were gay and now say and behaving as if they are not. Someone who used to have sex and now says they are ace isn't lying, or wrong or akchewally....

I don't want this to come off as hostile, I get why you are asking. It's a complex topic and I might be wrong.

I think I'm explaining myself alright, but I'm open to discussion

For stability alone. Trump's a fucking idiot, but we can be calm. We have to be.

Moose meat is so good. I've had a few supplies over the years. A neighbour got a roadkill once, and a friend's dad hunted one, but he doesn't hunt anymore.

I'd love to go get a moose, but I don't have anyone in my social circles who hunt, and you basically have to have a party to hunt moose in Ontario.

I gotta say I love deer and moose, but black bear is surprisingly good. I smoked some honey black bear hams from my last bear and ma.gawd. Only downside to bear is it's like pork, can't have it rare.

Very sadly, it was not. I'm not sure if it was my fault, the prep or what. I do eat all sorts of wild game that I've hunted or salvaged. I love squirrel and pigeon, I've eaten road kill deer, bear, moose, goose.... Cotton tail and snowshoe hare.... Wild Turkey... Basically if it's made of meat I'll give it a go. Still waiting to try raccoon and beaver, which I do wonder if they won't share some similarities..

But I found it very unpleasant. Raw the meat was so... gelatinous? Delicate? Like pressing with a finger would leave a sad dent. It spread out on the cutting board like gravity was too much for it.

We did it as taco meat so I just threw it in the instant pot with onions and maybe some chili spices I can't recall.. it had that skunky gameyness that I've started to associate with older animals and poorly handled meat. She may have been a great Grammama but the meat was well cared for and eaten fresh.

We shredded and ate it on tortillas with onions and homemade salsas. My sister and brother in law didn't mind it and my partner said it was ok but I've sworn them off for now. They are very charming creatures so it's not all bad.

I'm basically invisible.

I should have just gone to your zoo... I ended up with maybe 40 quills or something, my friends collection from pulling them out of her horse and dog is bigger...

A couple years ago I was out hunting with a friend and we saw a porcupine. My dad had always told me they were delicious and it was in season so I took my shot. Once we had the meat I thought I would take the hide home and harvest the quills.

Good. Lord. Porcupines are filthy creatures. I had a Rubbermaid full of soapy water and I was pulling the quills and guard hairs out and then trying to wash them free of literal shit.

But basically all I was doing was shit-needle acupuncture all over my hands. I was sure I was gonna end up with some sort of porcupine aids or something.

I spent a good 3-4 hours trying to clean the largest of the quills and guard hairs, and then I said fuck it. Took my fistfull of "clean" quills and put the rest in a few old paper bags and into the green bin.

I found quills in my clothes almost a year later. While visiting a friends house in jeans I had NOT been wearing, while out ice fishing (in the bibs I wore), in my sock one day.

I'm sure there aren't that many people on here that have been considering taking a porcupine and trying to weave/craft with its quills. But please, don't do it.

If you used to be straight and are now gay, would that make you bi?

I'm not smart enough to answer this question, but that would be where I'd start.
