IThey left out the part where patients get therapeutic spinal taps if the bug gets in the nervous system, which it does pretty regularly. Every single day, 6 inch needle in the back to drain the fluid and relieve pressure on the brain, at least until their csf pressure normalizes.

Netflix is releasing a documentary about crazy person/mass tiger murderer Joe Exotic and no one even called me for an interview. Assholes.

I understand this fits the definition of "therapeutic" but I'm so used to like, massage and candles under that heading. I'm trying to imagine laying back in a bubble bath and relaxing into the massive needle in my spine

I've posted about it in a lot of threads, but Joe Exotic was and is a crazy person. I answered a Craigslist ad and drove over a hundred miles under the promise of "seeing the country". It ended up being more like: - Clowns on a death march through the snow to buy liquor. - A kangaroo beat a man to death (I can't prove he was dead but I never saw him after the dust-up). - 6-10 people in one hotel room at every stop of the tour - Massive amounts of undocumented immigrants and kids right out of high school working jobs they weren't qualified to even be close to doing - got attacked by a lion (it was a month old, so I didn't get injured or anything) - got into a physical confrontation over who got to sleep in the sleeper cab of the semi that hauled all the circus equipment - Almost got my rear end beat by the Amish - Left in Markham, Illinois in the winter because the tour ran out of money - Cut up cow carcasses with a chainsaw to feed lions, which is messy and disgusting work Pastry of the Year posted:OK, I have got to hear this.

Looks like he was sentenced to 264 months in Federal Prison a couple months ago (killing the tigers + murder for hire). So 22 years with zero parole (no such thing for Federal Crimes) but he could get good behavior reductions.

I waited until whole series was completed to post this. There’s 5 parts to it. A megalomaniac tricks an aristocratic French family into doing everything he says, giving him most of their money, turns them all against each other and has them living in fear for over a decade, including having them assault and torture one another. Then he combusts spectacularly when he’s finally brought to court https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNpQUkd-Gnc Aesop Poprock has a new favorite as of 04:33 on Mar 18, 2020 |

Had to speak up to applaud this absolutely brilliant and arty-as-gently caress choice for soundtrack! This is my favorite version with the great Leonid Kharitonov. If you like your unnerving with a strong undercurrent of weltschmerz rather than horror, it classes up the experience of reading this whole thread, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNb54rwDQJM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXaFTH-ky0 If you've ever been curious about living in hell, you can always try a stay at le Vele di Scampia. For almost 50 years this stood as one of Italy's most notorious locations. Beginning as a public housing project, and an idealistic one at that, these seven buildings were beset by a number of problems early on, like shifty contractors, an earthquake, and the growing presence of the Camorra (local mob). The result was a whole lot of poverty crammed into a little amount of space. But that's not all - this place is a veritable maze, made even more complex by the drug runners who want to evade police. As a result, even the military had reservations about storming the joint. It's being destroyed now, but only after 25 years of lobbying from residents who are fed up. That's its own story - the first tower took eight attempts to bring down with dynamite, and then before they could get the majority of the sails down they ran out of money. For the next 15 years, le Vele di Scampia was a condemned hovel of squatters, drug addicts, helplessly impoverish and those who took advantage of the first three.

It always throws me for a loop at how can people fall for that level of batshittery. Falling for the Nigerian scams, I can see, but what this guy was telling them sounded like a bad Tom Clancy novel.

My husband walked in during episode three, listened for a bit, and finally asked "what the gently caress are you watching?" I just stared at him wide-eyed and  . "I don't know. I just don't know." That story is CRAZY.
