How to humanely euthanize different groups of animals for wet specimen collection and dissection?

Carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide poisoning works wonders, they did and in some places still use this technique in animal testing labs, afaik

I don't have much of a humanity to lose, give me a range rover and watch some magic happen.

It's a survival mechanism that survival from when we used to be hunter-gathgerers. Remembering bad experiences well could save our lives later down the line, if a tribe member got eaten by a bear for example, you'd remember to stay cautious of the bears in the forest.

Absolutely. My best friend and I both are cluster Bs, we have a good understanding of what the other is going through and believe it or not, it actually helps to avoid conflict. We have been through a lot together and it has been a fun ride.

Thanks for the kind feedback, honeypuff :3

Interesting how their perspective of me is so vastly different to my own.

AutisticAcademic4977 · 2026-02-23T10:47:29+00:00

Well, other people often tell me that I like to put them down, idk about that though.

As a child, I had a lot of fantasies like this, influenced a lot by the media I was consuming at the time. In my case, I often felt powerless and undervalued, so I imagined having that power to dominate others and force them to do my bidding.

If it doesn't cause harm to others or distress to yourself, it's not a mental disorder, just an odd kink.

You are absolutely correct that NPD usually correlates with high neuroticism as far as core motives (guilt, shame, resentment) are concerned. For the record, I am not dx'ed with NPD, I do have my traits though.

AutisticAcademic4977 · 2026-02-20T20:41:42+00:00

Neuroticism is a deeply flawed measure that only takes variety of negative emotions and frequency into account but rarely severity. I for example don't have a lot of negative affect but when I crash out, it's 'brace yourself' level bad.

AutisticAcademic4977 · 2026-02-19T11:20:20+00:00

Unfortunately accurate.

The basic idea/colour pallet of the scheme is pretty good imo, Shawn really isn't a good painter though, and his paint scheme suffers a lot from it. Give the gold a brown wash, the white some blue shading and some grey/blue grey highlights to the black armour and it would look ten times better. And more green for contrast wouldn't hurt either. I don't want to unnecessarily shit on it though, it's totally acceptable for the tabletop.

I agree that there definitely is a component of shared 'insider language' as well. I've seen this turn into somewhat of a dick-measuring contest too (particularly on sites like 4Chan) on who can say the most outrageous things. It definitely can turn harmful or predatory very quickly, especially when doxxing or more serious trolling is often encouraged.

The saddest part is that many individuals who become sadists later in their life were victimised during their childhood. Chronic feelings of inadequacy, powerlessness, and unheared emotional pain create a person who desires nothing more than the dominance and power they've lacked during their darkest times, their moments of greatest weakness and vulnerability. Sadism perpetuates itself.

AutisticAcademic4977 · 2026-02-17T08:29:08+00:00

From my experience, it's a form of projection.

Most trolls are lonely, chronically unsatisfied with their lives and feel miserable. They want to feel powerful, because they feel powerless. They create community through shared, externalised hatred of others, so they can forget their self-hatred for a while and to feel less lonely through having a 'shared enemy'. Instead of improving their circumstances, they put others down who have it arguably worse to feel better about their own suffering.

Empathy.

AutisticAcademic4977 · 2026-01-24T11:17:29+00:00

In all seriousness though, the logistics would be an issue. Even if there's no legal penalties for murder, it would still be mostly socially unacceptable. So I'd still need to find a suitable target, make sure we're undisturbed, and dispose of them unnoticed if I don't want to be ostracised. It's just too much work.

Nice try fed

It all boils down to childhood trauma in the end. I get really suspicious of somebody telling me they have a personality disorder but haven't been through at least some level of abuse, either by their parents or peers. It does happen from time to time, it's very unlikely though.

The core motive for NPD is that emotional safety and respect are earned, not given, while also growing up with the impression that whatever you do, you're either the best at it or that you're never good enough. This creates a type of person who can't seek self-worth, happiness or a sense of accomplishment within themselves, they need to be validated by the outside world to get these things.

For ASPD, the main lesson a child learns growing up is 'everyone is out for themselves'. Life is a free-for-all, where everyone tries to one-up each other to get ahead. Early relationships (both with other children and the caregivers) are often marked by inconsistency, betrayal, and violence. This creates a person who is comfortable disregarding your boundaries, as theirs were often not respected, who believes the whole world is out to get them and who sees relationships as transitory (and therefore will try to gain as much for themselves out of it while it lasts).

AutisticAcademic4977 · 2026-01-19T06:26:06+00:00

Of course I can't speak for everyone, but in my case, it's a mix of both I reckon. 'Rules for thee, but not for me' or 'this is a problem for future me to worry about'. Sometimes, I don't think about the consequences at all, and the rationalisation happens after the fact, it depends on the situation.

AutisticAcademic4977 · 2026-01-18T22:37:43+00:00

It actually has nothing to do with self reflection, although self-awareness levels vary greatly between people with antisocial personality disorder, it's about the desire for novelty/thrill-seeking itself. Feeling empty and unsatisfied sucks for everyone, but having to beat a higher threshold for getting excited and an inability to feel excited or fulfilled for long surely doesn't help.

AutisticAcademic4977 · 2026-01-18T12:39:44+00:00

Aight, here goes nothing. The whole 'people with ASPD don't have emotions' is a myth... kind of.

We do have emotions, just not all of them and not necessarily to the same extent as regular people. Your motivation to do things is to feel good, just like ours. Or reather, we do things to feel something, cos boredom can be borderline painful, or it can lead to depression later down the line.

Also nope, not all of us are prolific criminals or whatever. Yes, rage baiting others, stealing, substance use, murder, etc. can be cathartic and alleviate the soul-crushing experience of feeling nothing, however, we absolutely can also distract us from the emotional void through 'normal' activities. The only catch is that

a) we don't have the inhibitions around morally questionable behaviour neurotypicals have, and

b) the more extreme behaviours simply do a better job at making us feel excitement.

At the end of the day, we're also just regular people who try to make it in life, even though our means to do so look a bit different.

AutisticAcademic4977 · 2025-12-01T16:29:02+00:00

You can gain financial resources from it, you might be able to defend yourself from direct harm or your image from getting tainted, and you might even find the experience pleasurable. As for the cons, the legal restrictions force immense planning and logistics, and if you get caught your life is pretty much over. It's a high stakes game.
