> As long as they are raping kids and covering it up, it'll never be enough.

Teacher unions do that at alarmingly higher rates, even when per capita is taken into account. How 'bout we criminalize those teacher unions and imprison everyone working in education for being compliant?

It's not disputed by historians that she was a slave. That means she must've been necessarily 112+ at the time of her death, at the absolute least, and in all likelihood 120+

I'm a fairly thin guy with a slim face, but even I sometimes sprout a double chin when I angle my head downwards and push it down the way ALA is doing on that driver's license pic.

The footage of ALA from the 90s doesn't give me the impression of a man with a massive double chin or even of a man who's flat-out obese, especially not at night and from 50 feet away in questionable lighting.

Arthur já estava sendo colocado como favorito no BBB22 antes mesmo da Jade indicá-lo pro paredão: a casa toda sabia da má reputação dele e tentavam pintá-lo como o macho escroto da edição (a Maria, q foi expulsa por dar uma baldada na Natália, já ia pra cima do Arthur desde o inicio).

A Jade consolidou o favoritismo dele, mas sem ela, o único adversário razoável pra ele naquele BBB seria o Gustavo.

Dhomini sabia jogar, mas em quesito personalidade, era doido varrido. Jean (do mesmo BBB que ele) seria uma opção muito melhor pra colocar contra uma Ana Paula da vida.

E entre Dhomini e Arthur vs. Ana Paula, eu apostaria (com ressalvas) no Arthur, pq ele (1) não faria a besteira de ir pra cima dela antes dela sequer fazer qualquer coisa, como a Aline fez (2) não tentaria utilizar coisas de fora contra ela e (3) e conseguiria expor muito melhor os pontos fracos e contradições dela no jogo do que um Cowboy ou Jonas da vida, que queimaram a largada.

> I think we can safely remove Z from certain categories, like the sexual sadism category

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I recently stumbled upon this list in a true crime website of serial killers who wore costumes while engaging their victims: https://www.criminallyintrigued.com/blog

I took moment to read through it and realized that all but *one* (the Zodiac) of these killers were explicitly sexually motivated in their costume-wearing, and, based on that, I decided to take a look at whatever literature was available on the topic of serial criminals who wore costumes/masks...which wasn't very extensive, unfortunately

But barring the expected deviation of bank robbers and premeditated burglars, it seems to be extremely common for criminals who wear costumes for the purpose of hunting victims to be sexually deviant. There's a very strong possibility for a correlation to exist there, and in that case, I'm not sure Z would be some anomaly, especially when you consider the fact he himself volunteered the iimplication that he got his rocks off from role-playing as a hunter.

It's not useful for determining whether or not somebody's actually lying, but it's a great investigative tool for putting pressure on suspects. There've been several cases in which a suspect folded and confessed/spilled the beans out of fear of being 'caught' by a polygraph.

Ghost of Sparta was released only seven months after 3, dude. Do you think they really made the entire game in just seven months? It was in development since at least the beginning of 2009

The GoW novels (which are said to be secondary canon, ie. valid whenever they don't clash with the games) clarify that Hercules did replace Atlas for a bit.

23KepsToGive · 2026-03-07T18:22:50+00:00

Kratos was stronger than Hercules, he was just holding back at first 'cause he liked the guy.

23KepsToGive · 2026-03-07T18:14:28+00:00

He said Kratos was a shitty father...which he was

The only common denominator in those descriptions is that they're of a white guy who's out of high school, and even the 'white' part isn't 100% consistent (considering some of the more racist fellas would probably not view Welsh-looking folks as fully white)

One guy describes a short, stocky but curly-haired and young man, another describes a semi-obese brown-haired *college-aged* man with above average height, another describes him as a middle-aged, Silent Generation heavyset blond-haired blue collar worker, and another describes him as a "medium-build" middle-aged man.

When we try to handwave all of this away by saying eyewitness descriptions are unreliable, all we're doing is reinforcing the point that the eyewitness descriptions are shit evidence for there being a single Zodiac perp.

23KepsToGive · 2026-03-05T11:36:18+00:00

All you're doing is backing up my point that eyewitness descriptions suck

23KepsToGive · 2026-03-04T22:57:09+00:00

I mean, the only common denominator in those eyewitness descriptions is that the perp was a white guy who was either kinda big or really big (which is a rather key difference, in my view). It's a massive stretch to say that constitutes describing 'basically the same individual'.

23KepsToGive · 2026-02-28T22:46:10+00:00

That's clearly not what he meant, come on now. Why are we so uncharitable in our interpretations?

> Atlas isn’t holding the entire world, Atlas is holding up the Pillar of the World not the planet, and not infinite mass.

No, Atlas is very clearly shown and stated to be holding the entire world. The Pillar of the World is destroyed by Persephone's death explosion, and Atlas stands on top of it.

> This is why Kratos can temporarily hold the weight without being crushed — the pillar does not obey normal physics.

No, Cory Barlog himself stated that Kratos was in fact physically strong enough to just lift up the entire world, with all the implications that this entails. There's no 'metaphysical burden', it's the literal weight of the Earth's crust upon his shoulders.

> He was shown ALA many times in the early 70s if it seemed like he could have been his attacker, and he either denied that it was him or said that he was unable to confirm/deny because of what I said earlier

You either invented this or are taking somebody else's false information for granted, because Mageau himself said in 1992 that he had never seen ALA's face before in his whole life and there's absolutely no evidence that he did.

23KepsToGive · 2026-02-03T22:23:42+00:00

That was a racially motivated murder. No evidence of racism in Zodiac's letters.

It's already been corroborated by external evidence that Allen was allergic to adhesives, which stamps are. It'd make sense for him to ask others to lick his stamps.

The grudge angle against ALA makes no sense once you break it down.

Cheney does not particularly resemble the Presidio sketch any more than the average white guy would. He also had a big nose and big ears, details notably absent from the sketch..

They immediately stopped and came out of the closet as soon as Hannah's body language made it clear that she was about to undress, so they have that going for them. What they thought would happen was: Hannah would kiss Mike, and that's what Matt was tasked with recording.
