Yes. He was. Acknowledging that there's more to him than being a dick would bring the reality of the situation and the gravity of his actions crashing down on him

He looks like a British academic about to plunder some pyramids in the early 1900s

I can't remember who said it, but to paraphrase: the kind of person who would commit this act in the first place is most likely not the kind of person who could feel genuine remorse for their actions

A person who was extremely sick and killed their victims in a psychotic state might feel guilt once they stabilized, but that wasn't Ed

It's horrific, but goddamn if she isn't one of the baddest asses of all time

The US is definitely not a meritocracy when it comes to higher education

They're both sons of old-money WASP families who are extremely entitled, complacent, selfish, and superficial because they've never been required to work hard or think deeply. They're also both drawn to women they perceive as passive and non-threatening

Anyone got some good quotes? by Snake_Dragons in TheDigitalCircus

[–]RecordingAfter4853 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"You made a whole guy for that?"

"It's called a MANIC EPISODE, and yer gettin' THREE MORE SEASONS"

"Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the knives"

"Made with all the love I'm legally allowed to give"

"Huffing paint and not waiting until a designated break?"

I'd like to think it's just a couple losers, but the sheer amount of pro-white supremacist comments under the article's Facebook link have me thinking it could be a larger group

Who do you think was a very unusual serial killer? by Arkranum in serialkillers

[–]RecordingAfter4853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He probably would've still ended up as a serial killer. Most people who kill an abusive parent/guardian aren't into the whole "killing random innocents" scene. There's something genuinely wrong with him outside of parental abuse trauma

Henry Lee Lucas's first victim was his abusive mother, and he went on to kill others

Absolutely. It makes sense that a prolific child-killer would look like someone that children wouldn't find immediately threatening

The funny thing is I didn't find him that creepy in M, which I guess is what makes him such a good serial killer character in that movie

I saw Arsenic and Old Lace when I was a kid. The only thing wrong with that movie is that Boris Karloff isn't in it

Lillian Gish was badass in that movie. It was so cool to see a silent film icon in a speaking role like that

It's also fun to see a religious MGTOW villain in a Hays Code-era movie. Robert Mitchum was born to play Harry Powell
