The idea that a woman's hair is going to prevent a serial killer is absurd. They are methodical psychopaths with a system to hunt and kill; some of them are out there killing grown men. The best defense is awareness, and if your instinct tells you some poo poo is wrong, don't bow to social pressure, and gtfo of there. In other words, don't be the lady in Silence of the Lambs who gets put in the van helping some dude with his couch.

I don't know and Wikipedia is waaaay over there. But yeah from experience it doesn't matter what you wear or how long your hair is.

Btw in a couple of months friends of mine and I are going to make a podcast about Danish/Scandinavian crimes. Is it okay if I post it here when the time comes? It might be extremely lovely but our thought was that most of the crimes podcasts talk about English speaking victims and mostly in English speaking countries. We don't have a lot of murders here but the impact they have on small countries are kind of interesting. Like one of my old roomies was friends with the sister of one of the most prolific murder victims in our history ever and she talked about how it absolutely ruined her because EVERYONE no matter where she went knew who you are (especially because the press took pictures of the funeral the family begged them not to do exactly this at) and this was waaaaay before social media was a thing. Like I have friends who knew Peter Madsen and I have friends who've met/knew Mads Mikkelsen before he got big in Hollywood. Denmark is crazy small.

I would absolutely listen to this; we need more non-Americentric true crime podcasts. I’m learning Norwegian (Bokmål) right now and one of my listening practice tools is Truecrimepodden because the narrator speaks so methodically and she covers mostly American or international crimes so I know the basic story going into it and can pick up vocabulary like øksmorder and blodspray.

I’d be interested. I think it’s come up in this thread (and definitely in other places) that the true crime market as it were is dominated by anglos, especially americans, because that’s the biggest audience. So we end up with notorious americans and brits being extra double super notorious and the impression that being an anophone makes you five times as likely to murder. Hell Casefile is partially amazing because it focuses on a lot of australian crimes instead of the endless litany of americans and brits.

The lacquer rots, and it also provides a perfect burrowing environment for insects. A lot of the time women have to have their heads shaved because their do is crawling with maggots.

Yeah, ladies, don't help any dude in distress. gently caress him, let him die-- I'm saying this with zero irony. It's the rule of the wild. If he doesn't have bros who help him out, he's probably a piece of poo poo anyway

They'll go for people who look vulnerable or those that don't have good support systems. A lot of serial killers target prostitutes specifically because they're often broke as hell, in a desperate situation that led them to prostitution in the first place, and are easy to get alone because you can just be all "hey I pay you for some gently caress" then when they're alone it's murder o'clock. The police are less likely to care much (or even notice for that matter) if another random prostitute with either no relatives who give a poo poo or no relatives at all goes missing. Related to keeping yourself safe don't take self-defense classes but instead take up jogging. Instead of worrying about how to defend yourself in a lovely situation learn how to get out of the lovely situation entirely. There might be variables you don't know about and if it's a legit murderous psychopath you're dealing with there's a good chance they're armed, have a plan, and are way better at this than you are. Run the gently caress away. Just get out however you can. The single best safety tool is a good pair of shoes that you can run in.

A good self-defense class (or even a good CCW class) teaches you to have situational awareness so that you don't get in lovely situations in the first place, and that if you do, to try to run away first. Using force is only supposed to be when you can't do either and you have no other options.

You'd think that a self-defense class teaching people that the best way to win a fight is to not be in one would be kind of a rip-off, but it's amazing how many people actually need to learn that lesson.

Scathach posted:E: but yeah that hair thing is BS. Even if women with short hair are targeted less it's probably not because they're harder to grab, but that killers may be intimidated by a nontraditional woman that might be tough and more difficult to overpower.

MightyJoe36 posted:This is pretty much true for most crimes (robbery, assault, rape) besides serial killers. My dad used to teach a self-defense class and he said people were most often surprised by the following two tips: - in the absence of being able to actually fight, simply going limp is surprisingly effective. Most people would have to struggle to lift 80lbs, and all but the tiniest women or kids weigh more than that. Become dead weight and it might be the thing which causes your assailant to seek easier prey. - whatever your assailant is going to do to you, be it murder, rape, assault - make them do it where they find you, basically. Your survival rate in such an encounter drops by around 90% if you get in a car/van/rowboat/submarine with them. So even if they are trying to force you at gunpoint - gently caress that. Make them shoot you right there rather than going with them. You are much more likely to survive the encounter that way. Plus if it's something like a mall parking lot, they definitely don't want to attract attention to themselves. Drop to the ground, become dead weight, and make them earn it. Most criminals are opportunists. They will seek another opportunity if one suddenly becomes difficult. HaB has a new favorite as of 19:28 on Mar 6, 2019 |

Be mindful of your body language is another one I've been told since certain elements imply vulnerability like eyes downcast, holding things like books or a purse to your chest.

Most people these days will tell you that the development of profiling in the FBI during the 80's was bullshit, and for the most part that's correct, but it's easy to forget how some very very basic ideas hadn't been accepted yet in terms of the way investigations are done. The idea of victimology, that you can gain insight into how a killer operates by looking at the victims they target, is one of those things. Doesn't mean it ever gives you this magical ability to describe the killer or point them out, but it can give you a road map to other potential cases to investigate and avenues of of inquiry to take, which in turn can lead to potential suspects.

I preemptively poo poo myself each time I leave the house. So far, I have been neither murdered by a serial killer, nor asked out on a date (except by women who also have loads in their pants, so gross, no), so I can say definitively that the feces defense works.

It’s come up in this thread before, but now it’s come up irl too: goddam are the youtube fake EASs for nuclear war and poo poo unnerving. I remember getting emergency tornado warnings as a kid and even though I know it’s fake, that BLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH is terrifying, especially attached to “go to shelter immediately, missiles are inbound.” It nearly brings me to tears. Especially at work, since my mind flies to never seeing my loved ones again.

It’s a couple years old, but this week’s LPotL Side Stories brought it up again and, honestly, The UK Hacked My Cooter Cam is a timeless tale. Hackers Can Easily Hijack This Dildo Camera and Livestream the Inside of Your Vagina (Or Butt) Hackers from the UK-based security firm Pen Test Partners have found that it's trivially easy to hack into a Svakom Siime Eye, a $249 Internet of Things dildo that has a small camera on its tip, allowing users to stream a video to anyone of their choosing over the internet. However, if you're in Wi-Fi range of the dildo and can guess the password, which by default is "88888888," you can watch the video stream. With a bit more hacking, you can take control of the firmware and then connect to it remotely as well.
