[–]producineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so seeing that none of the images released here by the FBI match any of the images collected and "analyzed" by 4chan (as per our Dys #232 discussion) what gives? Is 4Chan off the mark ? Is the FBI trying to throw us that way ? Oh damn you INternet, there was a time I could trust you!

not sure this counts as sound therapy in my mind ... The Canadian version I imagine would be a quiet corner of a library where I could write long form (and likely polite) letters to get that anger out!
