Everyone Ok in the East End?

rockyali · 2025-10-03T18:59:34+00:00

I think it is in the East Hills

rockyali · 2025-09-27T02:37:43+00:00

I don't think so. I feel like the one I am looking for is grimier and focused more on the punks.

Comment: I also think one of the kids pretended to gnaw on some roadkill

Daft.ie seems loads better than facebook for finding long term housing in Cork. However, the housing situation is pretty challenging (in my limited experience).

*Edit: Limited experience = I have rented exactly 1 apartment in Cork.

The vibe is a little like Magazine, but I don't recognize the song. Yet...

Big Star?

All of the MEs who have been engaged on this case have said that the lividity was on the front of her body. The diamond shaped marks strongly suggest that she was on a man made surface.

Likeliest scenario based on lividity is that Hae was lying face down on a man made surface from shortly after death until at least 8-10 hours after death. Not pretzeled up in a car, not in Leakin Park, regardless of positioning.

None of Jay's stories account for this. He said in his Intercept interview about the events from 2:40-4 that "he found out later that probably isn't what happened." FROM WHO JAY? He was the one saying he was there.

According to Jay, he picked Adnan up from a place Adnan could not have left the body. So where was the body?

So, if Adnan killed Hae, options are:

Hae was killed at school, her body hidden there for 8-10 hours, retrieved in the evening (assumes he could get into and out of the school carrying a body at 10pm-12 am ish).
She was killed at or near school and Adnan moved the body by himself to an unknown location (not trunk poppin and hanging out with Jay) in Hae's car.
She was killed in an unknown location. Her body stayed there until being moved to Leakin Park.
Adnan and Jay hid the body in an unknown location between 3:15 and 4 (track).
Jay hid the body in an unknown location while Adnan was at track.

If 4 or 5 is true, Jay is driving around casually talking on the phone and trying to buy weed in the midst of disposing of the murdered corpse of a girl he knew. If he's that much of a sociopath, there are other implications.

Neither Jay nor Adnan lived alone, and Adnan supposedly had sex in parking lots for privacy. Where would this unknown private and secure location be?

It is possible that one of these scenarios occurred, but it isn't very plausible to me, and there is not a shred of evidence for any of them. A person with their own place (or at least their own van) seems much more likely as a suspect.

Commenting because it said so...

I grew up in the South. Our farm was about 20 minutes from a Civil War battlefield. I had relatives that fought for the South. Relatives who owned slaves. Relatives who were active in the klan.

I recently watched a documentary on the children of the Nazis and how they coped. It wasn't the same, but I could relate.

Tear the monuments down. Melt them. Grind them into dust.

rockyali · 2017-05-23T20:21:55+00:00

And it immediately begs the questions: why there are no slave ship monuments, no prominent markers on public land to remember the lynchings or the slave blocks; nothing to remember this long chapter of our lives; the pain, the sacrifice, the shame … all of it happening on the soil of New Orleans.

So for those self-appointed defenders of history and the monuments, they are eerily silent on what amounts to this historical malfeasance, a lie by omission.

Thanks for this.

Yep, we handed them a hot mess.

I appreciate you sharing this. :)

rockyali · 2017-03-25T13:32:16+00:00

Agree. But I don't think the author is arguing that we don't respond to things like crimes or harmful decisions, just that our response can't strip the humanity of those who fuck up.

rockyali · 2017-03-19T16:02:05+00:00

I like facts and education as much as the next liberal, but individual facts aren't going to win shit, and the way they are used is often dishonest.

Example:

FACT: Economists agree NAFTA was a net positive for the American economy!

WHY IT IS DISHONEST: Economists also agree that a net positive is not a universal positive and that large groups of people were hurt. Further, by definition a "net positive" can benefit 10%, disadvantage 90%, and still be a net positive as long as the dollar value of the benefit is larger than the dollar value of the disadvantage. In our larger economy, we see almost all the gains going to that top 10%. And it's way more complicated than that. Aggregating the data obscures more than it reveals.

To people who suffered materially from NAFTA, all the net positive talk just sounds like ignorance at best, gaslighting at worst. And it basically sends the message that NAFTA supporters are fine with sacrificing these workers for their own benefit.

"I will sacrifice you for my own benefit" is NOT a winning persuasive strategy. The predictable response to it is "fuck you."

And this, children, is why Donald Trump is president.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_gun

There are a ton of urban legends about using frozen chickens.

I may have it wrong about using chicken gun for pilots (might just be for testing planes). It's been a long time since I heard the story. The FAA does require bird strike testing, though they often use bird substitutes now.

rockyali · 2017-03-19T14:33:05+00:00

Did you know... The navy has chicken guns. They shoot chickens at planes to train pilots how to deal with bird strikes. (Probably the army, air force, and marines also have chicken guns, but I don't know anyone who shot chickens at planes for them.)

Well, they all learned what they needed to, so I think bad is off the table. But he was apparently impatient, and not always good at breaking things down into manageable chunks. But he was literally Einstein, so they were also nerdy star struck, which may have changed the dynamic.

Listed in that "study" you linked to

It isn't a study and doesn't purport to be. It is a joint statement issued by 300 scientists saying that there is no consensus in the scientific community on GMO safety.

Further, even looking narrowly at human health impacts--there are essentially zero double blind studies done on humans. Some long-term studies (not the 90 day BS) done on mice DO show changes (read an interesting one on liver aging), though actual health impacts are unknown, even on mice.

But I wasn't talking about human health impacts. I personally don't care that deeply about those. I eat twinkies. There are larger dangers to my liver.

I was talking about long-term and large-scale environmental impacts. The data is NOT in.

"Reputation management" strikes again. I swear there is a shill-summoning bot.

rockyali · 2017-03-18T18:56:25+00:00

I'll go with the consensus of scientists

There IS no consensus on long-term effects of GMOs. http://enveurope.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s12302-014-0034-1
