I been thinking about this subject in particular for weeks, and I guess is now or never (I give you apologies in advance for my short terrible and horrible writing, I’m not used to write long poo poo in a different language) This was a fantastic read. Thank you.

I thought I knew quite a bit about the dirty war and the "disappeared," but that post was full of new info - thank you for the effort. It must be very strange for those young people who were stolen as babies and raised by the friends of their parents' murderers. I don't know how I'd be able to deal with that information, especially if I had a close relationship with my adoptive parents before learning the truth.

I imagine that would end it. The last time I heard about the desaparacidos it still hadn't been established how they were killed or where their bodies went, or the information hadn't been widely disseminated.

Even though I've studied enough history that the idea of trying to place individual acts on a hierarchy of worse to worst becomes meaningless, it still gets to me that there's always something else that's horrific in a new and unique way. The first time I realized it was reading Charlie Wilson's War. There was an anecdote about Soviet soldiers, captured by Mujahideen who decided to send a message and kill them by  cutting skin deep around their waists, peeling their skin up over their heads, tie it off, and leaving them to either suffocate or bleed to death and be found by their comrades.

I recently learned what tonsil stones are. I'm almost done with my 20s and I thought I had already discovered most of the horrors of this fleshly vessel, but I guess I was wrong. It's pretty unnerving to learn something that gross has been lurking right inside my mouth for so long, without me ever knowing it was there. I thought my body was all out of surprising new secretions when I hit puberty (pimples). Both of my parents had their tonsils out as children, and my bio classes never talked about tonsil stones. I wonder what other grotesqueries lurk within me.

Great post, thank you. The idea of the death flights is super scary to me. Not just dying in an awful way, but it can never be confirmed...

From the southern Philippines island of Mindanao, he is alleged to have run an international pedophile ring and offered live pay-per-view video streams of children being tortured and sexually abused on the dark web including a video titled Daisy's Destruction."

Jonas Albrecht posted:Big fan of Crouch End. There's that old Family Guy gag about Stephen King trying to turn in a book about a lamp monster, but if you read through the wiki entries on his short stories, you realize that'd be well within his wheelhouse. That's Stephen King's superpower. King can take the stupidest poo poo, and somehow make it so compelling that you don't bother questioning it. A mysterious evil finger living in your drain? Great story. A pair of wind-up chattering teeth going vigilante on some dude's crotch? Surprisingly great read. An immortal demon-bitch sucking fear out of children's tears? I'm genuinely concerned that the alcoholic hobo won't have what it takes defeat her. Oh, look: a stupid wind-up monkey, what's so scary about... OH MY GOD DROWN THAT loving THING IN THE RIVER! A vampire with a pilot's license? This owns. A hard-boiled private eye who turns out to be living inside the stories of an aging, bitter author? Phenomenal story. King has plenty of misses, but the hits outweigh them by tons.

The second of these videos shows Juba claiming to have shot 37 American soldiers.[1] Whether Juba is a real individual, a role shared among multiple individuals, or a propaganda/media creation is unknown No one knows whether he's a real person or just a legend.

I'm surely missing the joke here, but don't want to google 'Barry Goldwater snuff film'. Care to enlighten me? Edit: Never mind, it just clicked.

Three hundred people forced out and no one's doing anything to rectify having to pay for poo poo that's not even hospitable. Surely they could abandon it without pay and left the bank / city / government reclaim it? I suppose it's far different and complicated in Greece.

Wondering if "you're gonna dig your own grave, now stand in the hole" has ever actually worked in the real world, or if it's a fictional contrivance. Even under extraordinary amounts of stress I can't comprehend how someone could make it easier for their killer to kill them out of some misplaced hope that, I don't know, they'll be spared?

From what I understand, you're never not really thinking that you won't survive. Complying to things like that is just making sure you'll live a bit longer just in case, well, anything happens. Succumbing to complete panic and terror and giving up goes against natural survival instincts. I'm not saying it's impossible to just say "gently caress you, kill me" but going along with it is not as much misplaced as it is a hardwired lizard-brain instinct that's overwhelmingly strong.

On the other hand, she's using waaaay more restraint that I would have. Also, shamelessly reposting from the "creepy pictures" thread: "The Anguished Man" - a haunted painting of unknown origins.  The image alone is hosed up. The backstory doesn't help, either. http://weekinweird.com/2012/11/27/mail-bag-torturous-cries-the-anguished-man/ More info on the painting: https://www.facebook.com/theanguishedman/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRQSWgYNqvI

I mean given a choice between digging for a few hours and then getting shot, or getting shot RIGHT NOW, most people choose the former.
