Terrible Ideas: tranch farming sim (that isn't Rimworld)

• You start with 100 alpacas and the same amount of land the tranch had. You can buy more animals and you can buy more land, but you can't get rid of alpacas or other bought animals aside from death.
• You can grow crops on your land but they have a 1 in 3 chance of sprouting, worse if time goes on and soil is eroded by your herd
• Your main expenses are farmhands, the property, and the hoard . Paying and exploiting workers are equally possible, the property is general water food and power so theoretically can be upgraded. The hoard however....
• The hoard must grow. You have 2 family members beside yourself that you always start with who do barely any work. The three of you need hoard. You all have different addictions you put in little boxes, like "[YOUR NAME] has a preorder of [TRANSFORMERS/MTG/WINE COOLERS/J.O. CRYSTALS] they would like to purchase!" and must purchase a certain amount each month. If not, your sanity meter goes down and a greater need to consoom goes up. Your relative/polycule member might even take money out for the hoard if it is not satisfied, or if tough times are happening at the tranch.
• Sanity: yes, the horrors of the tranch come to life if you let your sanity become too low. You can balance it by being successful, having a good number of farmhands to exploit, and how much hoard you have. If too low, hallucinations or perhaps tulpas come and begin attacking the tranch, inflating tires and running around Wile E. Coyote style. You can also invest in guns to shoot hallucinations and unruly workers/farmhands on site, but farmhands cannot be bought.
• Alpaca death pit does not determine your sanity. There will be ghost and zombies that come from it for revenge if it gets too high, including any humans you dispose in there.
• You can also use gogriftmes to raise money and borrow from credit. These have the same problems they do IRL.
• Multiple endings, from IRS tax fraud, to barely eeking by while balancing the hoard but still happy, running off with some chick then she kills you (whether it's your body or soul), Waco, death by disgruntled worker, or summoning the dreaded alpaca death god by throwing too many dead bodies in the death pit (will not happen if dying of natural causes).

Thank you, have an autistic day.

If Bonnie has willingly participated in this recent episode of Blocked and Reported, does that mean that Genocide Singal is the “media” he’s been talking to? This is going to go over great in the trooniverse. Merely by talking to Singal, Bonnie has violenced untold millions of vulnerable trans kids. Troons hate Singal, even though he’s quite the pronoun respecter. He’s one of the only males who makes them murderously mad like TERFs do.

Anyway, in the comments on that BAR episode, I found this link about a rationalist troon murder cult. This is so intense I feel like I need index cards and a timeline to begin to make sense of it:

Unbelievably crazy stuff here. (Archive)



If this is already on the farms, I couldn’t find it. This thread just keeps on giving.

We don't have threads on them, but they have been mentioned before on the Farms.

Maybe that should change.

 

[Darkholme's Dungeon]

My money's on the IRS. They seem like a safe bet.
EPA would be hilarious though.
Long-time fans will get their wish if the writers decide to go with the ATF.

Any of those agencies I'm rooting for the tranch to inflict maximum casualties via biological warfare (their stinkditches), I'll take all three and the FBI in a joint operations for maximum milk though. I'm not sure which one I hate most (Probably the ATF or the IRS, EPA comes close second due to their retardation in pesticide labels).

 

[Just A Butt]

Never heard about the game until recently and now I'm involved in some deeply autistic island game with a group of people.

I still don't know shit about the game, but my goal is to build a great hwite civilization

When we do a good job, they get the CIA to MKUltra someone into a new lolcow to our specifications. I'm saving up my credit for a new Cynthia Hanson.

If this is already on the farms, I couldn’t find it. This thread just keeps on giving.

That is truly magnificent, and it's got the promise of so so much more. I've followed just one link from there, and I've come across this wonderful evolutionary analysis of furryism (is there such a noun?):

From what I can tell by looking at stuff from the fossil record, other modern species, and my own ancestral memory, it seems that a large part of the True Human Form evolved between 60mya and 85mya, around the time of our common ancestors with lemurs.

Modern-day ring-tailed lemurs look like this:

Our ancestors around 60mya probably looked similar to ring-tailed lemurs.

Example fursonas:

Most of our proprioceptive body map probably was selected on during this period of time because the delta to our ancestors’ survival was strongly tied to them using their bodies very precisely and acrobatically.

Unrelatedly, it seems like the human desire to fly arose during this period of time as well, since [desire to fly] of the sort humans have is something that you would expect to evolve in a species where jumping was very important to their survival.

Also a chunk of our social machinery evolved during this period of time, which you can tell by looking at lemurs. They are very merp2.

Since our divergence point with lemurs, we seem to have evolved a lot of social modules, and some new things have added to our concept of ourselves, including being furless, tailless, bipedal, tall, and snoutless. But the old machinery seems to still be present, sort of overlaid on / meshed with the new.

The human interest in cats, foxes, and wolves3 4 5; the way that furries dress up and the artwork they draw; and therians all seem to be cases where humans intuited this part of their evolutionary history without really knowing what it came from. The emotions and social modules that furries are known for also are maybe/probably ones that evolved during the same time period.

A defence of not working that relies on other people doing low-paid, gig economy stuff (who knew that communists need Mexicans too):

Working a full-time job isn’t necessary if you don’t have to pay rent, ie you recapture or build-for-the-first-time your own living arrangements that do not accrue major regular costs.


Meta optimization is an important part of optimization. One heuristic you can use is to maximally free your future self’s time more than it costs you now. IE switching to grocery delivery maybe costs you 1hrs to initially research and setup and 8hrs over time as you troubleshoot and tweak it, and saves you maybe 4hrs/month. So that’s 0.5hrs/month/hr. (maybe only over a finite period of time before it becomes obsoleted or irrelevant)

And lots of bat-shit crazy survivalist stuff:

I’m currently estimating a 75% probability that first-world civilization as we know it collapses within the next five years. I’m not completely clear on which of many possible scenarios will play out.


Having a full alternative stack is what it would look like to solve this problem completely, but you can get marginal benefits from recapturing smaller portions of your stack.


A heuristic I use is to look for the things I would miss the most weighted by my probability that I would lose those particular things in a possibly upcoming apocalypse, weighted by how easy it is to produce my own version. For example, much of my work for the next 80 years is dependent on having access to the internet and books.

Not forgetting of course the essentials:

If you are trans, enby or bigender, a lifetime supply of hormones. Estradiol esters can be ordered via alibaba (though alibaba is a very low-trust environment, which imposes various costs). Progesterone is more expensive, but it may be possible to use an existing modifed-to-produce-cholesterol yeast or Nannochloropsis algae plus genes for the enzymes required to convert cholesterol into progesterone to make it over time. For testosterone, one would probably want to build some kind of bioreactor like that. (presumably this requires either gene therapy tech or cDNA + PCR?) One can buy testosterone on the black market, but it would be risky to buy or carry the quantities needed for a lifetime supply. Another alternative would be to buy progesterone, hydroxyprogesterone, or other testosterone precursor and convert it to testosterone.

Before he finishes with a People's Front of Judaea style rant at a woman called Anna at group that seems to be the wrong sort of Rationalists. Of course if he had any sense he'd know that Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburne debunked this far more classily 65 years ago

 

[FatalTater]

I was skimming back over some older posts from the beginning of this mess, and I remembered why I both got interested in TUR and also why I could never look too closely.
There are so many "if only" moments. Fewer animals, GFM money actually going to the care of those animals, ranchers giving a damn about anything besides their own asses, etc.
It made me want to do a Homestead Rescue type thing, but with less scamming. I could see where it was headed (Alpacalypse) and had to look away a lot.

It was a fascinating time in the thread when kiwis were offering legitimate advice on what could make the tranch successful. It would always be inherently funny because, well, trannies, but it didn't have to be a complete failure of a venture.

I'm legitimately bothered that they took down all their yarn right when I decided I wanted some to make a tranny scarf.

 

[Humbert Humbert]

You're fairly young then. Us Gen-Xers who had to grapple with bank accounts without an app for instant online balance had to fucking count.

Be grateful we invented the app you use.

Baby, who needs to keep track of any of that bank shit when you’re committing federal crimes and grifting funds from your 501c3?

Everything about this sounds so absurd it's like a copy pasta shit post, these people are living memes and it seems so unreal it's almost unbelievable if it weren't for every other autistic clownshow that happened already.

That’s the beauty of this thread, I don’t think there’s another one like it on the farms. I have never seen a more wild and educational thread in my years here.

You say this like half the site isn't on the fed's payroll. Half of those who are don't even comb for pay, they do it for free because they like laughing at inept people.

Taking “they do it for free” to a new level.

Oh btw Penny liked a couple tweets, one from his personal and one from the tranch account.

 

[Law]

And it seems like it might have been gender-related grievances that led them to protest the CFAR gathering, although whenever I read rationalist ramblings my eyes glaze over, so I am not sure.

So that's what happened to Porpentine.

Spoiler: Side character from Dectective Troon #1052

Porpentine is a troon who made Twine games back when that was trendy. He wrote disturbing short fiction and went into crybully/dfe mode after an unspecified bad event. I have no proof but I think the bad event was someone accusing him of being a creep, similar to what happened to Shmorky. He has a thread here.

I've noticed a trend where troons surface online, get 15 minutes of fame for being a brave-and-beautiful-warrior-against-the-dark-forces-of-Donald-Trump-and-radical-feminism, then completely disappear. All the game journalists who hopped on Anna Anthropy's dick probably don't remember who he is. No one knows who Porpentine is anymore.
It's funny to think that this is where they end up.

 

[AnOminous]

It’s piqued btw. No offense.

No, it's peaked, as in peak trans, as in people have reached the maximum level of bullshit they can tolerate from troons. They're probably also piqued, but they're that, too.

What the fuck is balancing a checkbook? I have never used a check in my entire life. I am not young either. I remember my parents doing it in the 90's?

So you just trust your bank statement? Bruh.

 

[Temperance]

Alynna (the fairy fox) talked to Shiteater Jen and wrote up the Tranch's side of the story:
[archive]

Ok so in response to my stream... I am being asked for a summary of events,
I did my stream based on what I could tell as an outside observer that runs events there and visits on a semi-regular basis (definitely will do so more in Longmont..)

The timeline of events best I could tell at that time was:
1) New fae (Kindness) comes into the picture, becomes involved with Bonnie.
2) Apparently there was some kind of argument, where Kindness (may or may not) have had an incident with temporary blindness that (may or may not) have had to do with a seizure (nothing is ever confirmed about this)
3) Accusations of "faking symptoms" on one side, and "ableism" on the other side occur.
4) Bonnie and Kindness drift away from the TUR
5) Bonnie takes "fresh look" at TUR and starts making allegations on Twitter
6) At some point KF gets involved. There is suspicion that Bonnie threw them into the hornets' nest.
In this document I’m not even going to touch the KF aspect.

There are other random events, and they all seem to have to do with relationship issues. One person on twitter claims their life was ruined by TUR, but the only evidence seems to have to do with being in an ex-relationship with one of the operators.

Another incident where there was a sexual assault by someone who had come to stay there, and was removed due to it, particularly when they started making threats of gun violence, occurred.

The Westcliffe location is Bonnie's property, she wants everyone out now (which happened recently) and they plan to rebuild in Longmont. Another important reason for moving is because the Westcliffe location is not making for a safe place for LGBTQIA+ folks to find sanctuary, given the nature of the community around it.

Before I wanted to say anything else about it I decided to consult the Ranch themselves to get a more accurate account of events from their perspective. This is the result.

Norintha
The argument between Sky/Bonnie/Kindness was private between the three of them
Then at the weekly meeting Sky broaches the issues (he is a palliative caregive and felt Kindness was making light of dying old people) Bonnie accused him of rape.

Alynna Trypnotk : ok

Norintha
It's worth mentioning Kindness spent most of a year contacting Mistress on various accounts, refusing to take hard No for an answer.
Bonnie's fresh looks always coincidence with announcements from the ranch or ranch appearances.

Alynna Trypnotk : How did this all start, from your view?

Norintha
Well for some background, Bonnie was basically always championing kicking out someone she would rotate targets depending on whims. (Daisy/Justyne/the trans masc couple/the trio from philly for being "useless" J for depression, so forth and so on)
So she always was against the mission of the ranch, while demanding to be officially the CFO

Alynna Trypnotk : what was her official role?

Norintha
But she met Kindness at DenFur, and basically moved in with fae.
She's the CFO of Tenacious Unicorn Ranch (the 501(c)3 corporation)
She filed the paperwork with the state and everything.
The demands for CFO were when the ranch was still in Livermore she was CFO in Westcliffe.

Alynna Trypnotk : Is there a procedure in place in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws to remove her?

Norintha
The board could just remove her.
She has previously failed to avail herself to the board or to answer official requests.

Alynna Trypnotk : Are there any articles in place regarding when a member of the board becomes a bad actor?

Norintha
I mean there are laws for when a fiduciary violates their legal obligations to act in the best interests of whatever they are a fiduciary for.

Alynna Trypnotk
Well, in the Articles and ByLaws there should have also been some additional procedure.

Norintha
All I can say in that direction is that there was unauthorized access into the 501(c)(3) corporate info accounts and everything is locked down pending further legal need
*recently

Alynna Trypnotk : nods

Norintha
Baring a gag after this is all done, remind me that this is one you want to hear
Like take a screen cap and save it somewhere with an evocative name

Alynna Trypnotk
I would actually recommend re-incorporation at this point, but that's me. We tried to make 5280 bulletproof when it comes to bad actors.

Norintha : Thank you

Alynna Trypnotk : Our bylaws can be examined.

Norintha : nodnod
Anyway back to the timeline

Alynna Trypnotk
Alright so... She was wanting to boot out "useless people" (hopefully she didn't actually use that language...)

Norintha
Useless was said as was "fuck up"
And other less savory terms
She's been grossly ableist

Alynna Trypnotk : So noted.

Norintha
She met Kindness and fell instantly for faer
By the first of September Bonnie was making demands of the ranch in regards to allowing kindness on
We had previous issues with Bonnie onboarding people unilaterally
(eviction for anyone who doesn't vote yes!)
So we actually demanded that everyone be involved

Alynna Trypnotk : Wouldn't eviction also require a vote?

Norintha : Not when Bonnie thinks she's the landlord.

Alynna Trypnotk
What is the vote pass percentage?
I see.

Norintha
We've only ever removed one person from the ranch and that was Rosa for credibly threatening gun violence. Other than that one time forcible removal hasn't ever been on the table for anything short of domestic/sexual violence.
We Don't Kick People Out.
We didn't really "get" that Bonnie was in terrible terms with her mom and likely couldn't actually force a removal.

Alynna Trypnotk
How you all resolve issues with residents would be a worthy topic for another time, but you are saying that as owner of the property, Bonnie exerted extra pressure.

Norintha : Yes
That is the one word answer.

Alynna Trypnotk : So the cause of Bonnie leaving is... that a motion to onboard Kindness wasn't passing?

Norintha : Yes ultimately

Alynna Trypnotk : Why wasn't it passing?

Norintha : We told Bonnie it had to be anonymous and unanimous around BLFC (it was October that year)

Alynna Trypnotk
It might seem I am asking dumb or obvious questions, but I want this to be something I can write up, and post, and have it actually answer the communities' questions about it.

Norintha
Several people felt uncomfortable around Kindness as he kept trying to tell them they were actually plural and they were hurting their own headmates, Sky was uncomfortable because as an end-of-life caregiver they felt Kindness was making light of serious issues, and Mistress because Kindness previously wouldn't take no for an answer (Kindness's assertion that Mistress didn't know fae was someone Mistress previously talked with was wrong, she just has tact)

Alynna Trypnotk
There is something else I was wanting to ask. Kindness and your mistress. What was fae asking for and getting a hard no on?

Norintha
Different things at different times, I know at one point fae tried and failed to internet date Mistress, fae also wanted to extended visit
Pre Bonnie

Alynna Trypnotk : Were unanimous votes to onboard someone, the typical?

Norintha : Yes
The trio and the trans masc couple both had them

Alynna Trypnotk
I was about to ask what the warning signs were to bringing faer on, but you covered it.
Mistress is Penny, correct?

Norintha : Yes

Alynna Trypnotk : I knew that, of course, but wanted to make it noted.

Norintha : We didn't actually make it to a vote

Alynna Trypnotk : Who was hurting Kindness' headmates, according to faer?

Norintha
Bonnie skulked off to live in with Kindness for keeps after BLFC.
No that everyone on the ranch was plural and the ranchers were hurting our own headmates by denying it
Kindness and Bonnie offered a "unified theory of plurality"
Their words.

Alynna Trypnotk
Fae was insisting every... umm... yeah, how about no.
Is Bonnie plural?

Norintha
Yes to the best of my knowledge
(and this unified theory extends to everyone on the planet)

Alynna Trypnotk
As a plural system, I may ask about this "unified theory" at some point. But even if it bore itself out, you still can't enforce identification as such.
If Bonnie and Kindness will still talk to me after this, I will ask them.
Is there anything between then and the move-out that should be mentioned?

Norintha
Bonnie spent a lot of time from September to the move out in Kindness's apartment as the blow up with Sky happened fairly early and Bonnie clearly didn't want to be near Sky after leveling and recanting a rape accusation

Alynna Trypnotk : But the situation is different between those three now?

Norintha
But they visited a few times basically to try to convince the ranch that Bonnie + Kindness was a better deal than Sky
Yes Bonnie recanted and Sky is one of the flavors of white appropriated eastern religions that is misinterpreted into demanding perfect forgiveness at all times.
Or Sky is a giant fucking doormat of a Buddhist.
Either or

Alynna Trypnotk
So what are Sky's objections?

Norintha
(Sky's description of events at the ranch meeting) That Sky and Bonnie had a conversation with/about being a triad with Kindness and Sky was balking at that because Kindness comes off as manipulative (a yes on that from every ranch member) and then Kindness stood up said he couldn't see and started walking into walls and reaching out stiff-armed to knock stuff over.
Sky felt that was so incredibly shitty of a thing to do they brought it up in the full meeting.

Alynna Trypnotk
So Sky forgave them for all of that, and left with them?

Norintha
Well no, Sky didn't/maybe still doesn't like Kindness and after a messy breakup with one of the people from Philly moved out into a place in Westcliffe

Alynna Trypnotk
Funny place to .. settle, but anyway.
So .. Bonnie and Kindness moved out. Because Kindness couldn't get onboarded. Then what happened?

Norintha
Contact petered out come November, and we didn't see either of them again after a trip up to Kindness's to talk about Bonnie's future with the ranch.

Alynna Trypnotk : How did that talk go?

Norintha
It was disturbing
Neither of them could stay on topic for more than a few seconds and there were a hoard of pet rats free running all around the apartment
It smelled foul and Kindness was gaunt

Alynna Trypnotk
Are they still together? Are you suspecting Kindness is being abused?

Norintha
Everyone wanted to leave as fast as we could, uncomfortable wasn't the start of how they made the three of us still v
I mean the things Kindness tweets sounds like massive neglect is happening at best.
Making Kindness fashion a bedpan (which spills), refusing bus fare/suggesting they don't go to doctor visits/telling them Kindness isn't well enough to bathe when Kindness asks

Alynna Trypnotk : What was the result of that meeting, btw?

Norintha
The three of us (Mistress, Kat, and myself) were incredibly skeeved out and Bonnie ceased direct contact to everyone to the best of my knowledge.

Alynna Trypnotk : So nothing was decided about her future.

Norintha
Bonnie has released a drip of personal texts with Mistress, but I have no access or knowledge of them beyond what's been published by Bonnie.

Alynna Trypnotk : The location was not in any kind of shape where a discussion could take place?

Norintha
It was clear Bonnie had decided to stay with Kindness and was talking about starting a TUR north to rescue rats.
We nodded politely out of fear she would shoot at us.
(or again in the case of Mistress)

Alynna Trypnotk
She had a weapon?
At the ready?

Norintha
Bonnie owned a Ruger Precision Rifle in .300 and a Ruger Five-seveN pistol in an unknown location.

Alynna Trypnotk
Wait, she shot.. in the general direction, of Penny?

Norintha
They were talking in the dome, Bonnie got up, went to the dome bathroom, and a round discharged from her Five-seven at an upward angle in the direction of Mistress, missing her by inches.
Bonnie's defence was that she "was playing with my gun on the toilet"

Alynna Trypnotk : Was that talk an argument?

Norintha : Yeah, most topics with Bonnie ended up being arguments.

Alynna Trypnotk
Understood. I am not going to add my opinion here on gun safety and the preceding. I think it speaks for itself.

Norintha
Bonnie was no longer allowed to carry her sidearm in the dome (she insisted on being strapped 24/7)
That was the result of the almost murder.

Alynna Trypnotk : So after that meeting, what happened?

Norintha
After we got out of Kindness's apartment?
We all asked each other if it was as bad as we each experienced
We confirmed that yes it was bad and had a ranch meeting
Everyone (J/Daisy/Trans masc couple/ trio from philly) added their opinions and experiences and no one felt comfortable with Bonnie or Kindness retuning.

Alynna Trypnotk : *nodnods* And Bonnie and Kindness were informed?

Norintha
They hadn't been to the ranch in months and didn't have a means to come to the ranch so everyone felt that was a conflict that didn't need to happen.
I'll cop to being conflict averse to a fault

Alynna Trypnotk
*nods* And I bet this has been crazy for you as a result.
So, after that, when did the twitter outrage start?

Norintha
The worst part is watching my loved ones hurt
She made a tweet about "taking down the ranch" on or about the first of November after the official account made a post about the expansion.

Alynna Trypnotk : The expansion to Longmont?

Norintha : Yes the expansion to Longmont/Westcliffe location 2

Alynna Trypnotk : Is Westcliffe 2 still planned?

Norintha : No
Don't have enough animals to need the space

Alynna Trypnotk
*nods* ... since the whole Twitter thing is well documented I'm going to move to some more positive questions.

Norintha : *nodnod*

Alynna Trypnotk : How big is the Longmont location?

Norintha : It's small
10 paca, 5 goats and JoJo.

Alynna Trypnotk : Plans to expand in Longmont?

Norintha
Well the three female goats are pregnant.
Dunno if we are going to keep them

Alynna Trypnotk : I suppose its also too soon to tell.

Norintha
That's the big part
I want to keep doing things
But I gotta have a rest

Alynna Trypnotk : I personally believe that the whole twitter attack is to wear the Ranch down.

Norintha : I agree

Alynna Trypnotk : What does the Ranch want to do in Longmont?

Norintha
I'd like to get back into showing kids/teens that working with animals is a fulfilling and rewarding life.
My first goal though is therapy
Even for someone as dinged and scabbed as I already was, turns out there was still something left to harm.

Alynna Trypnotk
Are you all planning on being a sanctuary for LGBTQIA+ folk again?

Norintha : Yes
Unequivocally

Alynna Trypnotk : *smiles*
And events? I mean I'd still like to do the regular events again like Transgiving ..

Norintha
Yeah we want to do those as soon as you are up to it
And I want to start the queer game nights ASAP too

Alynna Trypnotk
Oh I am ready now.

A few highlights (IMO):

• They really try to paint Bonnie as the villain. They act like he was a tyrant landlord who was solely responsible for bringing in & kicking out most of the field serfs (for "ableist" reasons), and they even said he once fired his gun inside the house to intimidate Penny. They're also accusing Bonnie of abusing Kindness and not adequately caring for her health... which is funny, because they also try to imply that Kindness is a faker.
  • We all know Penny was the cult leader, so pretending Bonnie was a tyrant falls flat for me. I also remember Penny saying in an old interview that it's important to vet / field test people before allowing them to join your commune (i.e. make sure they aren't freeloading stoners) or else you'll have "problems". So Penny was clearly involved in kicking out the field serfs as well.
• Sky actually worked as a caregiver before, and he instantly sniffed out that Kindness was faking her symptoms. Sky and Bonnie got in a argument, and Bonnie brought up a rape accusation against Sky... which he later recanted.
• Shiteater Jen said there was a plan to buy another property, but it's no longer needed. Confirmed they're down to just 10 alpacas, 5 goats, and 1 sheep. No mentions of the other animals.

LOL:

(Sky's description of events at the ranch meeting) That Sky and Bonnie had a conversation with/about being a triad with Kindness and Sky was balking at that because Kindness comes off as manipulative (a yes on that from every ranch member) and then Kindness stood up said he couldn't see and started walking into walls and reaching out stiff-armed to knock stuff over.

edit: Love how Jen can't help but contradict himself...

Big Bad Bonnie kicked out the poor field serfs!

Bonnie was basically always championing kicking out someone she would rotate targets depending on whims. (Daisy/Justyne/the trans masc couple/the trio from philly for being "useless" J for depression, so forth and so on)

We (the other Tranchers) would never do such a thing!

We Don't Kick People Out.

.......
[After Bonnie left the Tranch]

We all asked each other if it was as bad as we each experienced
We confirmed that yes it was bad and had a ranch meeting
Everyone (J/Daisy/Trans masc couple/ trio from philly) added their opinions and experiences and no one felt comfortable with Bonnie or Kindness retuning.

So a bunch of field serfs were still at the Tranch even after Bonnie left. What happened to all these field serfs, Jen...? You never kick people out, after all! And you can't blame it on Bonnie!

The two FTMs are key. Both Penny and Bonnie have accused each other of being cruel to the FTMs, so it's clear that no matter who's telling the truth, the FTMs were having a bad time at the Tranch. The FTMs were also work-shy stoners, and it's long been rumored that they were kicked out for being unproductive & mentally-ill. Since they were still at the Tranch even after Bonnie left, then it must have been Penny who kicked them out.

Lots of interesting info there, but still no reporter's instinct. What happened to the fucking animals. The fucking animals, dude.We've been following this car crash of incompetents in the hope that just maybe, someone would ask about their welfare. Not a single one has ever asked "why are they all so skinny and underfed?", "why are they eating dirt?", "why is your land a mudbowl?", "what happened to the grass?", "Where do all the animals sleep?" etc. Not, NPR, not Vice, not any of them. Last week there were 200 alpacas. some sheep, ducks, hens etc on your ranch. What happened to them? But, no, this wannabee journalist will take care over the pronouns ("fell for faer" Try saying that fast seven times when you'te drunk.), but gloss over The Great Vanishing. May they long be haunted by the ghost of Pepe and his cartilage tipped penis. Let's see you handle that, amhole.

The reply button broke unfortunately, but I have information and speculation to add.

6) At some point KF gets involved. There is suspicion that Bonnie threw them into the hornets' nest.

Is he referring to the confusing part of Bonnie’s spergout a couple months ago (it included something about how we got somebody swatted)?

One person on twitter claims their life was ruined by TUR, but the only evidence seems to have to do with being in an ex-relationship with one of the operators.

Yes, that person happened to be Wedge.

Then at the weekly meeting Sky broaches the issues (he is a palliative caregive and felt Kindness was making light of dying old people) Bonnie accused him of rape.

Wtf, why are there multiple rape accusations being thrown around all of a sudden??? Bonnie did talk about being afraid of Sky because he made a mistake when he ran off with Kindness, but that was all chalked up to Sky calling Alyssa out for what she was. From my memory, nothing about Bonnie talking about Sky resembled anything on the level of rape (although troons are kind of retarded)

Alynna Trypnotk : ok

Norintha
It's worth mentioning Kindness spent most of a year contacting Mistress on various accounts, refusing to take hard No for an answer.

Oh, but Alyssa claims she was in contact with Penny for therapy on telegram and paid him for it? (I’m just comparing the things both parties have said here)

Alynna Trypnotk
Alright so... She was wanting to boot out "useless people" (hopefully she didn't actually use that language...)

Norintha
Useless was said as was "fuck up"

They were all useless fuck ups ngl, but Kevin takes the cake for being the biggest one

lWe've only ever removed one person from the ranch and that was Rosa for credibly threatening gun violence.

I want to hear about this.

We didn't really "get" that Bonnie was in terrible terms with her mom and likely couldn't actually force a removal.

Bro Bonnie was out here claiming that Penny offered to kill his mom for him

Alynna Trypnotk
There is something else I was wanting to ask. Kindness and your mistress. What was fae asking for and getting a hard no on?

Norintha
Different things at different times, I know at one point fae tried and failed to internet date Mistress, fae also wanted to extended visit
Pre Bonnie

Again, the telegram shit comes to mind.

and then Kindness stood up said he couldn't see and started walking into walls and reaching out stiff-armed to knock stuff over.

LMAO, we had heard of her pretending to go blind but now I’m just imagining her jumping up and having a literal tard moment at being told no

Norintha
Well no, Sky didn't/maybe still doesn't like Kindness and after a messy breakup with one of the people from Philly moved out into a place in Westcliffe

Interesting, so Sky stuck around long enough to have a relationship with one of the serfs.

a trip up to Kindness's to talk about Bonnie's future with the ranch.

Alynna Trypnotk : How did that talk go?

Norintha
It was disturbing
Neither of them could stay on topic for more than a few seconds and there were a hoard of pet rats free running all around the apartment
It smelled foul and Kindness was gaunt

Again, comparing the two stories here, I know they’re all lying troons. But according to Alyssa, it was the trio and Ash Coyote who filmed the thing and it was cordial and involved Kevin cuddling the rats.

We nodded politely out of fear she would shoot at us.

All I could think of when I read this:

That was the result of the almost murder.

I wish Jen said WHEN this occurred, as in how long before Bonnie ran off.

The two FTMs are key. Both Penny and Bonnie have accused each other of being cruel to the FTMs, so it's clear that no matter who's telling the truth, the FTMs were having a bad time at the Tranch. The FTMs were also work-shy stoners, and it's long been rumored that they were kicked out for being unproductive & mentally-ill. Since they were still at the Tranch even after Bonnie left, then it must have been Penny who kicked them out.

I may have the key for you. Excerpt from a post I made in late November of 2021 has the two of them smoking weed at the ranch. Bonnie was already gone, so he clearly didn’t kick them out. And at the same time, this kind of puts doubt into Jen’s claim that “contact petered out come November” because Bonnie is literally replying to their shit in a friendly manner (go to the full post, he’s in the replies in a tweet Penny made too).

And last night, one of the serfs tweeted out some photos of them partaking in the act of smoking weed with their boyfriend. [A] View attachment 2741888

Obviously there’s still the question of “how did they end up leaving then” and Jen actually answered that a week ago on fediverse (whether we believe it is anyone’s guess, I’ll hunt down the two lesbians later)

Also, if you simply look at Alyssa’s twitter, she said “caregiver” too many times to count, although she seemed to have replaced it with “career” for the last month.

Spoiler: Context for top tweet if you’re curious

lmao

Anyways… I came here to crosspost this from the Kevin thread, and felt compelled to use my autism to analyze Jen’s tale and compare it to Alyssa’s.

The cats are still alive thankfully [A]

Show notes are great:

Journalists really messed up with the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch story… Kiwi Farms did the media’s job better than the media did… Not again…
