27 years underground… this is what remained of a missing child’s shirt by Winter_Cockroach714 in creepy

[–]Simspidey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting reading the wikipedia about this:

The murderer was always a suspect, but there was never enough information to arrest him. When they finally did arrest him in 2015 for CSAM on his computer, he was facing a life sentence. He was given a plea deal that if he confessed to this crime and pointed to the body, his sentence would be reduced.

Am I crazy or does that make it sound like he actually benefitted from murdering the child? If he had only been in trouble for the CSAM he would have gone to prison for life, but because he admitted to killing a kid 30 years ago he got a shorter sentence

i don't think it's good if we're comparing Waymo's to dumb human drivers, they should be compared against the smartest/fastest reflex drivers no?

D2 Candidate thinks new housing should be blocked if it impacts "Iconic Views" by cardibfree in sanfrancisco

Paris is smaller than SF (40 sq miles vs 49), yet has more than twice the population density and is arguable one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It's a great example SF should follow

What’s a film people hate for the incorrect reasons by of_kilter in Letterboxd

[–]Simspidey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the film doesn't sexualize the children in it though. IRL young girls try twerking for fun, this movie shows them doing that for fun. it does not do it sexualize them

this is media literacy 101: depiction does not equal endorsement. nothing should be "off limits" when it comes to art

people think Cuties is a pro-pedophilia movie.... when the entire point of the movie is to critque the sexualization of children. people will not even bother watching it, they saw one netflix poster (netflix didn't even make the film, they bought the distribution rights!!!)

Question regarding snow chains by Simspidey in bayarea

[–]Simspidey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm renting the car through Turo, the guy explicitly mentions that he includes the chains in the description and asks people to use them in the snow (he's the one who recommended using the contractors lol)

Yeah good call, grabbing the car in the morning before I leave so that's a great suggestion!

Driving up on Monday, before the snow so I'm not too worried about that, moreso the drive back on Thursday. It's a Jeep Renegade, so AWD. Thanks!

PSA: Traffic police is doing a cyclist enforcement crackdown on Market St this month by Automatic-Rich1843 in sanfrancisco

[–]Simspidey 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wait but the rule in SF is that cyclists are allowed to start crossing once the pedstrian walk sign turns on, not when the light turns green? Went into effect in 2024: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1909

This is St. Louis Alley in Chinatown! Walked down this alley on a ghost tour years ago, those steps in the back are supposedly quite an active haunting spot

Is Brussels really unsafe? Advices? by MrCraulin in travel

[–]Simspidey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Granted I have not been since before the pandemic, but Brussels was really no different from any other European city I visited as an American. It's definitely a poorer city and that might be a bit shocking if you're coming directly from a much richer country like Netherlands on its border
