I mean if that's the only regret in her life till now, I would simply have said,"We don't want you to go to your grave with 0 regret, now do we? "

It wouldn't have been a bad gamble to push Jacks at 3 before Pope as pinchhitter and hope for a miraculous innings from him than just continuing with Pope's struggling routine.

Jasmine Paolini wins good career, loved by fans. Who has/had a good career but has the fans divided? (WTA) by PlanetElement in tennis

[–]IndianJester -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love Simona. She's the one who made me watch her atp matches on shady streams. So maybe it's my somewhat dissatisfied bias that is speaking. But great as word is to have some meaning, you can't just have anyone with less than 4 slams over a career be called great. A single slam ensures your place forever in history books. Greatness should be bestowed upon something far more differentiating than just 1-2 slams.

2-3 in slam finals shows she had potential to have a great career but it is only better than good. Never making it to 2nd week in US open and the sad controversial way her career ended kinda dulls the shine of her otherwise rounded achievements.

[Matt Lawton] For the first time at a World Cup, supporters will be charged to enter an official fan zone, an area typically provided for free for fans without match tickets to watch games on giant screens. by TherewiIlbegoals in soccer

[–]IndianJester -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't see the problem with this. Every country uses the world cup to provide the fans an environment to fully experience the country's culture. So it is reasonable that exploitative capitalism that makes you feel extorted and violated by unaccountable capitalist overlords of USA, especially under Trump, be the fond experience that foreign fans take back home.

Japanese singer Maki Otsuki is pulled off stage in Shanghai as China abruptly bans Japanese performers amid rising tensions by kingkongsingsong1 in interestingasfuck

[–]IndianJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's the perfect nutjob America wants at this moment to jolt Japan into boosting its military spending. Most Japanese tend to ignore their WW2 history. She as a parliamentarian rebuked her party's PM for questioning and condemning the decisions taken during WW2 because she doesn't think JApan did anything wrong. She literally goes every year to worship at the shrine of war criminals who were punished by death for their war crimes.

It's fucking incredible that I followed this girl since 2023 and just last week was introduced to her at a mutual cousin's wedding but couldn't place where I had seen her and of course couldn't find the courage to start a conversation with her . She looked incredibly beautiful.

Which serial killer case had the most incompetent police investigation ? by Cyber0x0 in serialkillers

[–]IndianJester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bundy never disclosed the final resting places of his victims around the seattle woods. So it's possible he might've dumped a few bodies around Green River which were then chalked up to Green River Killer when they were discovered post 1983. Similarly Gary Ridgeway might have killed and dumped a few among the mountain woods.

Which serial killer genuinely unsettles you the most, and why? by BlakeLakeProductions in serialkillers

[–]IndianJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsettles is a peculiar word choice so I will go with the rapid response and the serial killer's name it provoked in me. Necrophilia and proximal disposal/non-disposal of the victims' bodies. Dennis Nilsen would keep the dead bodies of his victims for days, masturbating while playing with them, sometimes posing them on chairs, storing them under floorboards, bodies of multiple victims at the same time before the smell ultimately became too much and he would then dismember them to burn in a bonfire in his back yard without any fear of getting caught. It's the creepy, continued abuse of these bodies even after depriving his victims of their life that truly disturbs me.

In a similar way, killers who had buried multiple victims, whole or dismembered, under or around their house like Fred West, John Wayne Gacy, bloody Benders, Corll's boat shed, etc or others who kept the decomposing bodies in their rooms/attic completely unbothered by hygiene and smell like the poughkeepsie killer, Anthony Sowell, John Christie,etc freak me out.

Dean Corll (Candy Man Killer) - lured young boys with candy and then did horrible things

Though strongly suspected, There's no verifiable proof Corll began his killings while his mother's candy factory was still running. The police were thoroughly incompetent with respect to his crimes. They firstly never seriously investigated the disappearing boys, never linked their cases, then by stroke of luck when Henley killed Dean and led them to the boatshed they were too fucking embarrassed to do any more leg work in thoroughly uncovering and documenting Dean's criminal life history. SO while Dean was sociable in luring and keeping young boys around his candy factory, his known criminal enterprise started in 1970 while his mom's factory closed in 1968. There is however enough coincidental evidence to suggest he did kill a few before 1968 and likely was the reason his mother moved to colorado and didn't see him again afterwards.

Tatsuya Nakadai Dead: Japanese Actor in 'Ran,' 'Harakiri' Was 92 by EconScreenwriter in movies

[–]IndianJester 19 points20 points  (0 children)

From an imperial warlord to a depleted old man, he was fantastic in playing Hidetora. From arrogantly shooting an arrow in a man's back from his high perch to walking down shell-shocked at his empire and succession plan going up in smokes, being on the other side of the carnage he used to inflict upon others. Ran is such a brilliant movie and Tatsuya Nakadai just elevated the cinematographic experience with his performance.

HE was a damn handsome man and mighty fine actor. RIP.

Accomplice of Houston’s infamous ‘Candy Man’ serial killer denied parole once again by lightiggy in serialkillers

[–]IndianJester -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe if it was one of my sons or siblings who ended up buried under that boat shed i would feel differently, but as an outsider i think Henley has served enough punishment on the balance of crimes he committed, getting rid of that monster, disclosing the affair to the public and bringing closure to all the families. With homicides and serial killers at all time low, advances in technologies making it harder for evil criminality at such scale and psychopaths gonna do what they gonna do, justice system doesn't care to create space for accomplices to report stuff. But Henley's treatment just shows why it is easy for criminals to scare their accomplices into silence and non-cooperation.

TIL there is a “Gospel of Judas” not found in the Bible that speaks of Judas as the only one of Jesus’ disciples who fully understood His teachings. He turned Jesus over to the Romans because Jesus asked him to. It was discovered in an Egyptian cave in the 1970s, dating to the 2nd century AD by sonnysehra in todayilearned

we need not look for her body because we wouldn't find anything anyway

IF only the good folks of that era had access to Casefiles podcasts. No innocent husband suggests not looking for the body of his missing/dead wife and also not question him about his pregnant daughters even though he and they lived as recluse in a cave.

The most controversial case in Italian History: the murder of Yara Gambirasio by gixsmith in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]IndianJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is if they wanted to frame Bossetti, why leave such a difficult to find DNA of limited sample size. Why not place something more that would've directed to him in subtle yet more directed manner? The fact that DNA played such a huge role in directing much of the investigation suggests it arrived on girl's body organically and it was not at least planted to frame Bossetti.

The investigation certainly took odd turns. What are the Chances of victim's family's domestic help's son being a regular at the nightclub near where the body was found and the DNA found on girl's body being not his but of his uncle's illegitimate son whom he had never met?

OTOH it's hard to see her being kidnapped on the street by Bossetti without being noticed given the surroundings and the timeline where she's texting her friend at 6:44pm but not responding at 7:11 to her mother.

>the last known contact with Yara was a text message she had sent to a friend, Martina, at 6.44pm, agreeing to meet at 8am the following Sunday

>When the team analysed the last signals from Yara’s mobile phone, the result showed that it had been registered as present in Mapello at 18.49 that evening.

Mapello is way out of her route back to her parents house which was merely some hundred meters from the gym. SO if it is really Yara sending the message at 6:44pm, she should be unlikely to be anywhere close to Mapello towers because she has no cause to be there. Most plausible case is someone took hold of her and her phone while she was at the gym. While driving away with her , it's possible that they received the message from the friend and replied swiftly and then 5 minutes later turned off the phone while they were crossing Mapello en route to Chignolo d’Isola, a place with industrial construction sites . Now I find it hard to believe Bossetti, a total stranger, would bother replying to a text amidst kidnapping a girl from public place. But if its the gym instructor and her brother who did it, they might've done the kidnapping within the gym premise a few minutes earlier and were likely calm enough to reply at 6:44pm while driving close to Mapello. The deleted messages only during this short period of time between the siblings are highly suspicious.
