    I’m not a grammar nazi, but I like to be helpful to people who want help:

    • Lose: Pronounced “loose”, as in “if you’re gonna challenge me to explain the difference between ‘lose’ and ‘loose’ well, ha, let’s just say you’re gonna lose/loose”

    • Loose: Pronounced “lose”, as in “just how lose/loose do you think AOC’s anal sphincter really is?”

    There are different types and expressions of tolerance, so I think getting tied up in knots about a mythical all-encompassing tolerance that no cunt on Earth preaches (not even Jesus or the Buddha) is probably a side quest that doesn’t need completing. It’s like two linguists who’ve read a class of philosophy having a grammar nazi stand-off. You may as well include being abused and conned by criminals in that kind of tolerance, which is obviously stupid, but it’s no more stupid than thinking your personal philosophy is threatened when faced with a nazi whose goals you wanna prevent coming to fruition.

    Tolerating people who have characteristics that are not necessarily of their own choosing is not in the same ballpark as tolerating those who want to eradicate that first group. “Leave people alone” is better, it includes preventing the non-leaving alone of people by cunts, e.g. nazis, with no paradoxes involved. “But leave me alone to be a nazi!” ok, what does being a nazi involve? “The sterilisation and extermination of…” lemme just stop you there. Done!






  • 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.

    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.
