I'm willing to bet a Steam game of your choosing that that bigot account is not run by a white American.

I voted for a known conman convicted of 3-dozen felonies, to say nothing of his racism, sexism, misogyny, transphobia, and the fact that he's literally the most documented liar in human history. But then the bastard conned ME!?
Motiveless murder/disappearance - that is, where the victim has no enemies or any reason to have become a victim of murder (e.g. robbery) - are extremely hard to solve even today. Police are much better able to capture criminals today, but they're still batting a pretty measly average overall, and especially so in cases of motiveless disappearances. The US has ~350 million people in it, and there are enormous swathes of land that are uninhabited or are only lightly inhabited. Massive marshes, endless forests, etc. Dumping bodies in there is so effective that sometimes even serial killers who have confessed and are helping the cops locate victims' bodies can't find them all.
The behaviour of killers outside of the crime itself is usually what fucks them. Bragging to people, taunting the cops, leaving calling cards/clues, or just becoming so confident and hubristic that they lower their standards and get caught for future murders through sheer sloppiness.
I invest every penny of it in corn futures.
Transphobic ass meme. The guy's a cunt, don't need to denigrate trans people to point that out.
Possibly a stupid question: I know it's illegal to cover (or just not have) license plates, but this seems to only be so that they can be read by cops on the ground. Could you add little canopies to your plate so that they can be read by anyone on ground level, but not by surveillance cameras up on lampposts etc.? Or add an electronic screen in front of them that's transparent to the naked eye, but when recorded, has a weird distorting effect that garbles the image? Pretty out-there idea, but "would it be legal if it were possible?" is my main question.
Wikipedia rabbitholing is my preferred method. Start on an article about a band or genre you like, then just glance through for influences and subgenres etc., read those articles to find new band names, give 'em a quick listen on whatever platform you use (usually just YouTube for me), and continue the process as needed i.e. if you don't like what you hear for a given artist, just keep clicking till you find the next one. It sounds like it'd take forever this way, but I've found new bands I love within about 10 minutes of clicking, and this is consistently the case. Algorithms have never, ever recommended me anything I actually liked, and this is true for music, games, TV shows and whatever else. They just don't work on any meaningful level.
Never do business with Netflix. If you have a TV series that you would actually like to have a conclusion, a video game studio you would like to produce at least 2 fucking games before you're all fired, then don't do business with Netflix. Just don't. I'm struggling to have much sympathy for creatives who get fucked like this by Netflix, because they've shown us through hundreds of examples over the years that getting fucked is the most likely outcome. It's like playing Russian roulette with your life's work just because one of the chambered rounds is actually a little flag with "JACKPOT" written on it that will pop out instead of a life-ending bullet, but the other 5 chambers all have a live round in them.
My take on feets: I don't think about them in my fantasies or anything, but if they're there IRL, they represent a further opportunity to add to the other person's pleasure, so I'll have a go on them. But I don't get turned on by the act of licking soles in and of itself. I've never seen a pair of feet and thought "daaaaaaaaaaamn, those are some HOT feets!" no more than I've seen a garden fence and thought "burn down all other fences, 'cause THIS is the one!" Although, I'm sure I've seen plenty of feet that caused my neutrality to dip into disgust (like my own, for example). But beyond that, I don't think about them at all. They're just an extra button on my controller in the indecipherable non-localised Slavic RPG that is the female orgasm.
If your money-haemorrhaging business model depends on the gullibility of absolute fucking morons, maybe do something else?
This is like when ad companies started talking about "personalised ads" as though that was a thing we wanted and which they begrudgingly gave to us.
If AI companies took all the RAM and GPUs they've hoarded and instead just sold them at 50% of their usual value directly to gamers and hardware builders, they'd make way more money than whatever the fuck they're doing now, and wouldn't be baking the planet in the process.
I was there when Siamese Dream was released. I was there, man.
