    There’s another patient who didn’t get the toe amputation, and gangrene spread to where he lost the entire leg and 80% of his kidney function. This one did not thank acupuncture for his outcome.

    This one very famous case of a guy who got very lucky, and ended up alive and uncrippled and didn’t have to take time off from perpetual dialysis treatments to smile for magazine covers maybe doesn’t represent what generally happens to people in his situation.

    I can kinda see “shot an old horse or two” as being a positive thing, okay you got over the squeamishness of it and did a sick animal a mercy.

    Winging a goat and gosh I gotta go get more ammo to finish this one off, well that’s starting to get a little peculiar.

    LIKING IT SO MUCH THAT YOU WENT OUT AND GOT A NEW PUPPY SO YOU COULD DO IT AGAIN, well hoooly fuck we are getting into something entirely else now aren’t we?

    It’s not like it’s terribly uncommon for some Earth species or other to go from sexual reproduction, to giving asexual reproduction another try. What invariably happens is that the daughters only sub-species does well for a few generations, and then gets completely wiped out by some disease. We’re not having sex for fun, we’re having it because “applying combinatorics to our genetics (particularly the immune system genes)” is the best tool we have to try to stay ahead of microbes.
