Frekkie Melody posted:My dad had cancer. I spent 7 days a week tending to him for the last 3 months of his life. He got covid and at his diagnosis we had our last real honest talk where he was all there. We loved each other more than anyone could imagine. He became "confused" shortly after and spent pretty much the last week of his life cursing me for abandoning/betraying him. Not only that but he also called every single relative and told them I had betrayed him and that I had stolen from him and that I was keeping him locked up and that they needed to come save him. (he was in the covid section and not even I was allowed to visit him) I had taken his car keys for obvious reason. And several of our relatives believed him and do to this day so it pretty much shattered our extended family. I'm sorry for your loss.

Ugh, gently caress. That loss of memory and terror happened to my neighbor's husband, he was only 32 and one day he woke up next to her in bed and asked who she was, and didn't get better. He died soon after from a...neoblastoma or something, something blastoma, an extremely aggressive cancer that had strangled something in his brain and basically returned him to the mental state of a toddler.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UKrmPoJv-k I've never heard of this guy before but apparently he explains classical music? Anyway this one's about the Rite of Spring, which caused a riot the first time it was publicly performed, and I thought it was neat.

(AKA Grenades at War The worst one about grenades and gunfire through complete cover had to have been MW2 if I'm remembering right, I played it on the highest difficulty and holy poo poo, that mission where you're going up the woods toward that safehouse as the SAS is just insane, every single bush is holding a gun and the trees grow frags in bunches.

I haven't listened to the two most recent Sex Archie episodes so I dunno if he gets put on a bus and never seen again in the rest of the show but it's kinda nuts that General Ironicus is now doing two regular series that feature a good and bad Chad in them. (FF7 Remake/Riverdale) https://twitter.com/Gen_Ironicus/status/1378479072666382337 Also great to know that they're that far ahead on their backlog of Dogs Must Die after how long I was personally waiting for it to go live for free.

RareAcumen posted:I haven't listened to the two most recent Sex Archie episodes... Riverdale has always been all over the place, but woooo this season is just one big whiplash. Every episode has like 6 genres and for the first 20 minutes of every episode my brain says that I skipped an episode because its so disjointed and the sense of time is non existent. This was only made worse this season because I got used to ignoring that the actors are 10 years older than their characters, only for them to do a 10 year time skip without changing the way they look. It makes them seem like babies cosplaying their actors actual ages.

So I ended up falling down the true crime video rabbit hole, and found this guy: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThatChapter/videos, after this video was posted elsewhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVasF2FOsl4 His videos regularly crack a million views, but I have no idea how big he is within the context of true crime content.

I have a feeling though that like a lot of crime YouTubers a lot of his research, though well presented, is fairly surface level. But that only comes through when people talk about a case that you might be somewhat familiar with. He's better than a lot of others I've watched though.

Watching it unfold in real time, the coverage of the Grace Millane trial was pretty loving gross. Like, I honestly didn't need to know about her sexual proclivities, and it's loving pathetic that our press chose to focus on that. The coverage had a definite undertone of "ooh, look at this harlot of a slut, she did THE SEX!" running through it, with little to no self-reflection on our appalling sexual assault and domestic violence statistics. That kind of poo poo would require at least an hour or two to actually really drill down into though, and I guess it's going to be a difficult topic to broach for some Irish guy living on the other side of the world.

I honestly thought he would get off, the coverage had so thoroughly astroturfed the idea of death by sexual misadventure rather than talking about how he beat off to porn and went on a date in between murdering her and disposing of the body. I can't even remember if the fact that he had a history of non-consensually choking his partners came out before or after the trial, but who cares, let's just take the accused's word for it that she wanted it. loving shameful.

I've dreaded looking this up, but I was relieved to see he was at least imprisoned for life. Though I also learned the UK doesn't have preventive detention anymore, which is a shame. I really wouldn't feel save in a land where a disgusting peace of poo poo like this could just walk free without checking if he can actually fit into society again. (Our own version of preventive detention has doctors checking a dangerous offender's mental health in regular intervals. So in this case, if the fucker can't convince his doctors that he is, in fact, not searching for some more women to murder as soon as he walks out, German law would keep someone like him just locked up indefinitely, independent from the actual sentence.)

I stumbled upon a podcast/channel called Lights Out Podcast over the weekend and I was surprised that even a new true crime channel can get six figure views per video I figured the market was saturated - then I saw they also do a bunch of supernatural stuff but I also figured that market was saturated. They aren't actually good and they've made a bunch of factual errors in the episodes I've listened to and their McVeigh episode drove me nuts because the guy kept calling the Murrah building the "Murry" building. They got a pretty dece studio though. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Apr 6, 2021 |

JimCantSwim does breakdowns of police interviews. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYwVxWpjeKFWwu8TML-Te9A Matt Orchard is very open about being a direct copy of JimCantSwim and his first video is a parody where he breaks down Denis Leary being a dumbass in the same style. The later videos are more serious and crime oriented. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYUZ0gWRp_HQCVEz0OovuAg Denis Leary video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_HW4dlqvbA Joshua Miles is more general crime youtuber (vlogging style looking at the camera) but in a way that doesn't drive me up the wall.

One of my favorite recent youtube discoveries, munecat, released Part 2 of her Tony Robbins video. It is fantastic, well-researched and holy poo poo this guy is a terrifying cult leader it is unbelievable how popular he is. Like Dr. Phil mixed with Alex Jones mixed with Jim Jones. Part 1 (note, 2nd half of the video showing his interactions with women in his audience gets extremely hard to watch) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUP86fStX6Q Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1zm9GU70Fo also more deep dive videos should include a diss track imo Youth Decay fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Apr 6, 2021 |

I could say Agents of Shield but no one's going to watch 17 6/10 episodes of a show to get to the good stuff in 2021 now.

Renegade Cut takes the opportunity presented by the "controversy" around Lil Nas X's latest music video in Christian circles to talk about the dubious scriptural foundation for belief in "the Devil/Satan/Lucifer" etc.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-AwpkMuW4s I know many people have dropped off RC because he tends to be a bit drawn-out/pedantic in his arguments but this video is definitely one of his better ones and it's about a part of Christian theology that I think needs to be talked about more (since so much of modern American Christianity is so wrapped up in the character of the Devil).

Shinji2015 posted:One of these days I'm going to give Riverdale a watch. It just sounds like one wild ride every time I hear about it It's buttfucking insane, though not always in a good way. I will maintain that season 1 is a mostly well-done, tight murder mystery that wraps up fairly well, with diminishing returns every season afterwards. I fell off a few months before the pandemic started, though it sounds like the time skip helped a lot of things out.

Is Jughead Ace? I've acquired maybe 3 or 4 Archie comics and as far as I'm aware the whole identity of it is Archie's love triangle of him Betty and Veronica and interference from Reggie or whoever. Sine he's usually not interested and just hungry all the time I don't know which one's the actual case or not.

Jughead’s been asexual in at least one run of Jughead comics written by, I want to say Ryan North or Chip Zdarsky. Jughead in Riverdale spends like 5.5/7 seasons in a pretty typical tv heterosexual relationship with Betty.

Riverdale used to own because it just spiraled almost right away into, even by CW standards, one of the most soap opera shitshows that seems to actively revel in looking at every single situation and finding the most hack option for every story beat ever. Now it sucks because the timejump was needless and broke everything up into parts way weaker than the sum of them. It's fun to see like...two, maybe at most three, storylines done the most stupid fanfic possible routes but now it's like six and I don't even loving CARE that MOTHMAN is in the mix now. That's how bad it is now, they got straight up Mothman hijinks and I'm all 'pass'.
