  • Motiveless murder/disappearance - that is, where the victim has no enemies or any reason to have become a victim of murder (e.g. robbery) - are extremely hard to solve even today. Police are much better able to capture criminals today, but they’re still batting a pretty measly average overall, and especially so in cases of motiveless disappearances. The US has ~350 million people in it, and there are enormous swathes of land that are uninhabited or are only lightly inhabited. Massive marshes, endless forests, etc. Dumping bodies in there is so effective that sometimes even serial killers who have confessed and are helping the cops locate victims’ bodies can’t find them all.

    The behaviour of killers outside of the crime itself is usually what fucks them. Bragging to people, taunting the cops, leaving calling cards/clues, or just becoming so confident and hubristic that they lower their standards and get caught for future murders through sheer sloppiness.




  • Possibly a stupid question: I know it’s illegal to cover (or just not have) license plates, but this seems to only be so that they can be read by cops on the ground. Could you add little canopies to your plate so that they can be read by anyone on ground level, but not by surveillance cameras up on lampposts etc.? Or add an electronic screen in front of them that’s transparent to the naked eye, but when recorded, has a weird distorting effect that garbles the image? Pretty out-there idea, but “would it be legal if it were possible?” is my main question.


  • Wikipedia rabbitholing is my preferred method. Start on an article about a band or genre you like, then just glance through for influences and subgenres etc., read those articles to find new band names, give 'em a quick listen on whatever platform you use (usually just YouTube for me), and continue the process as needed i.e. if you don’t like what you hear for a given artist, just keep clicking till you find the next one. It sounds like it’d take forever this way, but I’ve found new bands I love within about 10 minutes of clicking, and this is consistently the case. Algorithms have never, ever recommended me anything I actually liked, and this is true for music, games, TV shows and whatever else. They just don’t work on any meaningful level.

    My take on feets: I don’t think about them in my fantasies or anything, but if they’re there IRL, they represent a further opportunity to add to the other person’s pleasure, so I’ll have a go on them. But I don’t get turned on by the act of licking soles in and of itself. I’ve never seen a pair of feet and thought “daaaaaaaaaaamn, those are some HOT feets!” no more than I’ve seen a garden fence and thought “burn down all other fences, 'cause THIS is the one!” Although, I’m sure I’ve seen plenty of feet that caused my neutrality to dip into disgust (like my own, for example). But beyond that, I don’t think about them at all. They’re just an extra button on my controller in the indecipherable non-localised Slavic RPG that is the female orgasm.





  • If your money-haemorrhaging business model depends on the gullibility of absolute fucking morons, maybe do something else?

    This is like when ad companies started talking about “personalised ads” as though that was a thing we wanted and which they begrudgingly gave to us.

    If AI companies took all the RAM and GPUs they’ve hoarded and instead just sold them at 50% of their usual value directly to gamers and hardware builders, they’d make way more money than whatever the fuck they’re doing now, and wouldn’t be baking the planet in the process.


  • Replaying Witcher 3. The news of the upcoming DLC made me wanna check it out again, even though the DLC is at least a year away. I hadn’t played it since before the “Next Gen” upgrade, so was curious to see how that looked too.

    The game holds up, and the graphics for the landscapes and buildings is still top tier. The only thing showing its age is the faces of the characters, mainly the human ones. But human faces are always a challenge, no matter the budget!

    I’m so autistic that the idea of mixing any kind of food with bodily greaseholes is beyond horrendous to me, even if it’s something other than stinking cheese. Like, I’ll happily chomp on whatever bodypart you want me to, but if you first drizzle delicious syrup on it, forget it. Food and sexjuices are non-overlapping magesteria.








  • I think the environmental knock-on effect of wiping out all gorillas might cause more than one human to die in the future, directly or indirectly.

    Also, gorilla dicks are small and they cum pretty much instantly, so you could easily get through all gorillas on Earth in an afternoon. Matt Walsh might get it done in 20 minutes, what with his extensive experience of sucking huge amounts of dick on Twitter.
