Censorship sucks.

Why not just have an advisory at the beginning of the books saying that they were a product of their of time or something like that and it might be offensive to some people? No need to censor anything.

This piece of shit thought he was untouchable for brandishing a knife. He didn't brandish the knife at any one person. He just started waving it around as though he was trying to hold up the place or something. Little did he know that another person decided to stop this from turning into a tragedy by hitting said man in the back with one of those line rope pole things.

TopicThe Bail Project really should be careful who they bail out.

I am all for bail reform and bailing out those who cannot afford to bail themselves out but groups like The Bail Project, while having good intentions, should pay more attention who they bail out. They bailed out a violent serial offender and as a result he went and tried to kill a waiter in Las Vegas. They need to research more of who they bail out rather than just simply bailing out a bunch of random people.

From: https://nypost.com/2022/12/26/bail-group-shuts-down-amid-lawsuit-for-helping-release-serial-offender/

A California bail reform group backed by A-list celebrities has shut down its operation in Las Vegas after being sued for releasing a serial criminal who less than a week later tried to murder a waiter there.

The Bail Project whose supporters include Danny Glover, John Legend and Richard Branson said it began restructuring its Sin City office in early December, 8 NewsNow reported.

The move came after The Bail Project posted a $3,000 bond for burglary suspect Rashawn Gaston-Anderson in December 2021.

Six days later, Gaston-Anderson shot Chengyan Wang 11 times in the Chinatown section of Las Vegas, 8 NewsNow reported.

In a plea deal, the 24-year-old was convicted of attempted robbery and mayhem, both with deadly weapon enhancements, according to News 3 Las Vegas.

Gaston-Anderson was sentenced in December to seven to 18 years behind bars for the shooting.

The waiter, who was struck by seven rounds in the attack at Shanghai Taste, is suing the nonprofit for its role in releasing Gaston-Anderson despite his criminal past.

Wang who also is suing Gaston-Anderson and Shanghai Plaza owner US Hui De Real Estate Investment Corp. is seeking over $15,000 in damages from each defendant, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Hes got scars all over his body. He cant move his shoulder over a certain height. I dont know how (the bullets) missed a vital artery, the victims lawyer, Kory Kaplan, told the newspaper.

Also, I've never understood this outdated notion that we shouldn't bring up any of the bad things someone did after they pass away. Fuck that shit. Just because someone dies, no matter how famous they were, doesn't excuse what they did while they were alive.

She was NOT a good person in real life. In this interview she did with Corey Feldman where he was trying to expose the pedophilia that was rampant in Hollywood, she was more concerned about the reputation of Hollywood rather than any of the victims. She told Corey that he "was destroying an entire industry". She was evil.

I love that guy. He's a great human being.

Here's the kind of guy he is: Nike used to make Shaq-branded shoes. And of course with anything Nike, it was expensive AF. So this one time, a mother ran into him and told him straight up her son wants the Nike Shaq shoes but they were expensive. Not only did he give her some cash right there so she could buy them, but he pulled out of his contract with Nike (losing millions of dollars in the process) and started his own shoe company to sell affordable Shaq shoes. That's the kind of guy Shaq is.

Ever since Trump became president in 2016 it seems like every conspiracy theorist is a right-wing Qanon follower (which was preceded by the Tea Party movement who tried to push that Obama birther bullshit conspiracy).

However, I distinctly remember during the George W. Bush presidency there were a lot of people who though 9/11 was an inside job and these people definitely leaned left from what I saw. They hated Bush, hated the Iraq war, and really hated Dick Cheney. None of them seemed to be right-wing.

I wonder, because of the Qanon conspiracy nuts do the left-wing conspiracy nuts simply just hide in the shadows because they don't want to be lumped in with the Qanon people?

Or did these left-wing 9/11 inside job conspiracy nuts actually become Qanon followers (and thus became republicans) when Trump was elected? I notice a lot of Trumpers hate George W. Bush so maybe they used to be left wing back then and then became right wing under Trump?

TopicGood news: Ozone Hole Continues Shrinking in 2022, NASA and NOAA Scientists Say

https://www.nasa.gov/esnt/2022/ozone-hole-continues-shrinking-in-2022-nasa-and-noaa-scientists-say

The annual Antarctic ozone hole reached an average area of 8.9 million square miles (23.2 million square kilometers) between Sept. 7 and Oct. 13, 2022. This depleted area of the ozone layer over the South Pole was slightly smaller than last year and generally continued the overall shrinking trend of recent years.

Over time, steady progress is being made, and the hole is getting smaller, said Paul Newman, chief scientist for Earth sciences at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. We see some wavering as weather changes and other factors make the numbers wiggle slightly from day to day and week to week. But overall, we see it decreasing through the past two decades. The elimination of ozone-depleting substances through the Montreal Protocol is shrinking the hole.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/8/5/AACYYCAAD2jd.jpg

The ozone layer the portion of the stratosphere that protects our planet from the Suns ultraviolet rays thins to form an ozone hole above the South Pole every September. Chemically active forms of chlorine and bromine in the atmosphere, derived from human-produced compounds, attach to high-altitude polar clouds each southern winter. The reactive chlorine and bromine then initiate ozone-destroying reactions as the Sun rises at the end of Antarcticas winter.

Researchers at NASA and NOAA detect and measure the growth and breakup of the ozone hole with instruments aboard the Aura, Suomi NPP, and NOAA-20 satellites. On Oct. 5, 2022, those satellites observed a single-day maximum ozone hole of 10.2 million square miles (26.4 million square kilometers), slightly larger than last year.

When the polar sun rises, NOAA scientists also make measurements with a Dobson Spectrophotometer, an optical instrument that records the total amount of ozone between the surface and the edge of space known as the total column ozone value. Globally, the total column average is about 300 Dobson Units. On Oct. 3, 2022, scientists recorded a lowest total-column ozone value of 101 Dobson Units over the South Pole. At that time, ozone was almost completely absent at altitudes between 8 and 13 miles (14 and 21 kilometers) a pattern very similar to last year.

Some scientists were concerned about potential stratospheric impacts from the January 2022 eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haapai volcano. The 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption released substantial amounts of sulfur dioxide that amplified ozone layer depletion. However, no direct impacts from Hunga Tonga have been detected in the Antarctic stratospheric data.

TopicMother of a Jeffrey Dahmer victim says Halloween costumes are super triggering
The_Sock

I've said it before and I'll say it again: People who dress up as real life serial killers for Halloween are garbage human beings.

https://www.marca.com/en/lifestyle/us-news/2022/10/17/634c8116ca474121318b4599.html

Except for the relatives of the serial killer's victims, many people adore Netflix's Dahmer series. Now that Halloween is approaching, the victim's mother, Tony Hughes, has spoken out against outfits that resemble Jeffrey Dahmer.

Shirley told TMZ that seeing a popular Netflix series about a serial killer was already quite upsetting, let alone seeing others dressed like the perpetrator. Hughes was one of the 17 men that Dahmer killed, and he was also nonverbal and deaf.

Due to the criticism, larger retailers have decided not to stock Dahmer costumes, but it's still simple to acquire costume accessories online on sites like eBay.

As Dahmer costumes, people are offering blonde wigs, vintage-inspired clothing, and wire-rimmed glasses.

"It hurts for Netflix and all the online stores to profit off her son's death, while none of the victims' families have seen a dime. She feels all the eBay ads should be taken down ... or at the very least, give the profits to the families," she said to TMZ.

Shirley still struggles with the pain of watching her son die at the hands of Dahmer.

I think a certain group's massive obsession with him in general is disturbing. He's basically a top 3 person in human history to these people.

You ain't kidding. I saw a bunch of women on Twitter who, after watching the Netflix Jefferey Dahmer show, said they feel sorry for him and that if he was still alive, these women wish they could meet him so they could try to "change him" or whatever. I know this is nothing new however. There always seems to be groupies for the worst of society. Just look at all of the fan mail convicted murderers in prison get from women. Hell, there are convicted female killers in prison that guys send fan mail to. It's disturbing.

Dressing up as real life serial killers for Halloween is just.....weird. And here's why:

If someone can dress up as Jeffrey Dahmer for Halloween, then how is that really any different than someone dressing up as Adolf Hitler for Halloween? They're both horrific killers and evil pieces of shit. So where is the line drawn here?

Dressing up as fictional characters is fine because they're just characters. They never really existed and thus never really harmed anyone irl. But these real life people that people dress up as for Halloween are responsible for heinous crimes. It almost seems like they are honoring these real life killers by dressing up as them.

He also expressed his views on the current political climate an government. I believe there truly is a Deep State. And I think there is a Deep Deep State and nothing is what it seems, he added.

I can't tell you how sad it was for me to hear he was a conspiracy nut irl. God bless his heart, I loved his music and he seemed like a nice guy but for him to believe in the Deep State means he was probably a Trump supporter.

I felt the same way when I heard that Meatloaf was an anti-vaxxer irl and died from Covid 19. I loved his music and was a nice guy from what I heard but he was a fucking idiot.
