    To be technically correct, as far as I understand it Epstein was not and did not cater to pedophiles (prepubescent). They catered to Ephebophiles (14-19) and Hebephiles (pubescent, or 11-14).

    Men who were adults in the seventies and eighties (boomers for sure) had a strange fascination with teen girls. It’s all over film and music of the era. I’m Gen-X and I found it as gross then as I do today. I never got how the culture at large didn’t have a huge problem with it.


  • “If I die, I want a loud death,” Hassouna wrote on social media. “I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.”

    That was a tall order, but she managed it.

    I wanted to type something hopeful uplifting, but that’s just not reality at the moment. I just hope (beg) that some day we can look back at these times and see them as horrors of the past, the way we see the Holocaust during WWII, and not just another Tuesday.














  • Ideapads are trash. I only recommend Thinkpads because they are their business line. I especially like their X1 series. I also recommend buying their new old stock because you get a good deal and you can buy their excellent extended warranty service. Two years in my screen went dark. First they replaced the MB and when that didn’t work, I got a brand new screen. No charge and I basically have a brand new system.
